January
Cuddles with my favorite little buddy
Practice practice practice
Preparing for this year I spent 6 hours doing acrobatics, 2-4 hours at the gym, 3-4 hours doing lessons and practices for cabaret, and an addtional 3-4 hours working on smooth. A total of 16-18 hours per week spent preparing for the dance season.
Competing
February
UDC
Celebratory feasting
Over the past few years of competing, we've built a tradition: on the final day, we go out to eat. It's how we celebrate our victories-or console ourselves after the disappointments. We never go out to eat before we compete. The meal has to be earned.
March
Business in the front party in the back
Ty and I had a fantastic ballroom session, placing at nearly every competition we attended. We plan to bow out of Novice and move up to Prechamp and Amateur.
Blessed to have been surrounded by the people who love and supported me the most
Lol, so that somehow happened...IYKYK
This year was a special Nationals indeed. Isaac's and my final year competing togther with the hopes of returning to the dance floor in years to come. After almost butchering our preliminary round, we barely eeked into the final to complete a dream almost 10 years in the making.
Third Place!
Last minute get the nerves out practice
Strength and Honor
A huge thanks to all the family, friends, and coaches that helped us get to where we are. My favorite piece of advise came from my dad "Win the crowd, give them something they've never seen before". Guess that quote
Ask us how we celebrated.
April
Oh look my BF finally made it to the recap!
With my little family
Feeling so blessed to have the job I have, the family, friends, and furry companions that I do. Life has been good to me.
Such a daddy's girl
Always helping mom with technology
Isaac's and my final performace. Until we dance again
I've always enjoyed beating people with giant suckers

Working with my supervisor
It's the simple joys of life that make it worth living. Naps, food, pets, cuddles, adventures
June
The lack of sleep I got on this trip is unreal. Isaac, you owe me!
Was it pretty? Yes. Worth staying up 34 hours? That's debatable
July
Just saying, we are so dead if I ever have to defend us
Petsitting is my favorite job ever!!
August
Reunited
Went to Cali to visit my brother after he graduated from Navy bootcamp. Was not a vacation, no matter how hard my parents tried to convince me it was. Again, Isaac, you owe me!
Riding with my little buddy

December
My furry friends
Meowy Christmas!
As this year comes to a close, I find myself looking back with a deep sense of gratitude. Especially for the memories made and for the people who walked alongside me. Each season brought its own lessons. 2025 was a good year. Here's to carrying gratitude forward and making room for whatever good comes next.
