Hey Tiger Fans!

We're all back from home so we can get in the gym to practice. Break was fun but the season is closer than ever and we all came back ready to work hard. On our first day of practice we got to meet our new teammate, Sandra, who had just flown in from Norway. I'm pretty sure she was exhausted and a little overwhelmed, but we tried to make her feel at home and introduce her to American life as much as possible.

New Year's Eve was fun, those of us who were in town got to hang out and have a great time, even though there aren't that many people down here in Columbia. We got New Year's Day off, which was a much-needed rest for our bodies. Then it was back to the gym on Saturday. Saturday was fun because we had a full intra-squad to get us used to a little pressure before we go out to compete. It went very well and our team is looking strong going into this week.

On Sunday, Sarah's Mom was nice enough to cook us a fantastic meal. We all brought drinks and a little bit of dessert over and had a fun afternoon just hanging out together. It was also nice to eat homemade food for the first time in awhile.

This Friday is our first meet vs. Ohio State, so everyone should come check it out and support your tigers!
