Contentment

Today I feel surprisingly content. I didn't dread work like I normally do on a Monday morning and I feel pretty happy about where I am in life right now...at least today. I have a decent job, great friends, wonderful family, an inspiring class, a church I love. And, I'm coming off the "high" of a week of skating. Smile. Life is good.

Saturday, SB and I woke up at the ungodly hour of 6 o'clock to "beat the crowds" down to the Convention Center to skate on some world-class ice. We arrived at 7am to discover there were no crowds to beat. In fact, we were the first ones there! As a result (and undoubtedly because we're two adorable redheads), we won the door prize...a 2002 U.S. Olympic vest for me and a U.S. Figure Skating CamelBak for SB. There were no sightings of Scott Hamilton or Nancy Kerrigan (as I had originally been told), but I have no doubt that the autographs of Mirai Nagasu and Caroline Zhang that now adorn my ice skates will someday be worth millions...well, maybe thousands, at least. Sigh. I've had my brush with fame for the year, now. Wink.

Pictures of the two gorgeous ladies mentioned above will follow soon. Mirai and Caroline even agreed to pose with them! (He he!)
