Back to the South!!

Starting into the fourth city and it feels like we have been in the north and south and back again.  This time we were in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Instead of the like the last few cities, we were actually outside in a suburb and were able to see some grass and trees not too far off in the distance.  It was more of a homie-feeling for me; that along with the fact that I got to see my Mom, Dad, and Grandma for the first time since I left for tour in August.

It was just what I needed in between the presentations.  Even though we were not competing at a competition, it was still the feeling that I got and all the nerves came back again just like they did when I did take the ice to compete. Everyone gave it their all and spent extra time on the ice rehearsing.

Even though we mainly saw the inside of the ice rink this week, the company BBQ was a nice break to give us a chance to enjoy the sun and relax.

We also had some fun playing games during the shows like not being allowed to sing along to music while you are backstage getting ready, or not being allowed to say sorry throughout the entire show, or not being allowed to say yes or no, or having to dance in response when a guy talks to you, or responding to a guy when he is talking to you while you are in the downward dog yoga pose and if you fail to do any of this you would have to donate to the group.  In the end, normally there is at least one person that surpasses everyone in how much money he or she is going to owe.
