Fun Fun Fun

Today was a scary day haha. We were told that because of our play this weekend and our poor performance that we were going to be "bag skating" during practice today, bag skating is when we really do not need any equipment on, but we put it on really in hopes that we won't simply skate the entire practice, that and coach would be mad, but during a bag skate we skate back and forth back and forth either across the ice or between the different lines. One bag skate drill is a latter, from the goal line to the blue line to the goal line to the middle red line back to the goal line to the far blue line back to the goal line then down to the far goal line and back to the goal line you started at..... Like if you have ever watched Miracle? The famous "again" scene where they skate in the dark and one of the players yells his name and where he is from and then says that he plays for The United States of America, that is a bag skate. It is no fun. My body was tired haha we went off the ice to go and get the ice cut after our bag skate and sitting in the locker room for fifteen minutes as coach talked to us and went over face offs we had to stand up and go back on the ice, never have I NOT wanted to get on the ice worse. haha But luckily coach was nice and we had a easy second half of practice, I probably only saw about six shots all day today. I played really well though, which surprised me after being so exhausted from the first part, but even coach was yelling good save or good work to me :) Very encouraging!

I am now sitting in a chair in the family room of the owner's house with her three dogs. I am dog sitting for her this week, she is going out of town early in the morning. I am really excited and amd excited really to cook for myself! :) super excited!

Emily and I are doing so well :) I am super excited to continue to watch our relationship grow through our time apart :) it has been so much fun, sure hard at times but we expected that :) We are doing so so well! I carry your love with me every second of each and every day that I am here my dear! :)

Can't wait to see you all again! thanks for reading!
