Updates...

So it has been a while since i last wrote anything and updated the things that are going on in my life... Team trials have been over for a while now and they were a little rougher than i had hoped for. The track was a little faster than all of us had imagined it would be and we were all smashing ourselves all over the place. I ended up losing my sled the 4th day of sliding in Shady. Boy did that one hurt! I was out for a couple of days and was still having some trouble with my arm, so i had to get an x-ray and nothing really showed up on it but something else was just not quite right... i ended up having a subluxed radial head (kinda dislocated part of my elbow) the trainers popped it back into place and the swelling finally started going down after that. Trials came and went and i was utterly frustrated with my sliding and could not figure out what in the world was going on so....my sled ended up being bent and there was NO helping it. So my dad and Randy being the best in the world pulled an all nighter in order for me to get my new sled for a race in Canada. It took some time but really enjoying my new sled very much so. The race in Calgary was interesting also. The first day of racing i pushed out of the groove and there was no coming back from that. I took 16th place the first day and also got the luckiness of my name being drawn for a drug test. Way fun!! The second day went a bit better i didn't pop the groove and got some good testing on my sled.

Onto family... There has been much excitement on that front. Matthew moved and a few weeks ago and will be getting married on the 3rd of January. He will be getting married in Midway, UT with an open house on the 17th. I get home on the 22nd so i will be home for the wedding but will be back over in Europe for the open house. Ciara is turning 14 tomorrow! I can not even begin to believe how old she and Bryce are getting. Time is really flying with everyone and i'm not sure that i'm ok with it. MaLese is due any day now with her first little girl :) I'm still not sure of how i feel about the either...but i'm excited to be an aunt in a sort of way! Micah i over a year old and getting smarter by the second. My goal before i left was to have him say my name... he is getting very close so everyone you need to practice with him so when I get home he can do it!

There will be more updates if not this week next week for sure!

Love you all! Mom, Haley, C-Babe... have a good week and keep me posted on thing!!
