skating different sides
I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.
parent lessons quitting
My parents never pressured me to skate. They always said I could quit if I wanted to. They only expected me to skate when they had already paid for the expensive lessons. But, otherwise they said I could do what I wanted to do.
jobs dad pay
My dad worked several jobs to pay for my expense in skating.
fun martini skates
It was always fun to skate with Paul Wylie and Paul Martini.
moving home ice
I took group lessons at a rink near my home. We first had to learn how to stand up on the ice wearing skates. Eventually we learned to move forward, but soon found out that it was not that easy to stop! So that was our next important lesson.
sports exercise practice
There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.
pet too-much funny-travel
I do not have any pets. We travel too much.
crafts hobbies painting
My hobbies are painting, crafts, and I like golfing.
olympics whirlwind has-beens
My life has been a whirlwind since the '94 Olympics.
christmas brother hockey
I was thrilled one year when I was younger when not only did my brothers get hockey sticks for Christmas - but I did too!
sports brother jumping
I was a tomboy who liked to play rough just like my two older brothers. That's probably why I liked the athletic part of skating - especially the jumping!
falling-in-love fall falling-down
Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.
fun halloween character
One of the things I like best about the Halloween show is that I change outfits about six times in the show. It is a lot of fun to play the different characters.
skating i-can
Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.
