So many things have been constantly changing in my life this last year and these last few months I wasn’t really sure where my life was going.  Just a few weeks ago I decided to move back to Northern California to start training full time again with a very good friend and teammate of mine Olivia.  It felt like the right thing for me to do but it was also really hard for me.  I was very fortunate that I was able to be with my best friend Meghan until now as she has been battling cancer..or shall I say kicking cancers ass! Saying goodbye to her was really hard and I miss her very much.  But when I jump into the pool every morning I go in swimming for her.  She inspires me and gets me through every days practice. Here is a video a good friend and teammate of mine made.  Go to teammeghan.com and help support this awesome, bad ass, most beautiful individual!</p>http://lifesynchronized.tumblr.com/post/5124874960http://lifesynchronized.tumblr.com/post/5124874960Mon, 02 May 2011 01:13:21 -0400<a href="http://www.thelantern.com/campus/osu-student-athletes-prove-blood-is-thicker-than-pool-water-1.2074700">OSU student-athletes prove blood is thicker than pool water - The Lantern - Campus</a>: <p>Support Team Meghan!</p> <p>teammeghan.com</p>http://lifesynchronized.tumblr.com/post/3729986220http://lifesynchronized.tumblr.com/post/3729986220Tue, 08 Mar 2011 17:40:01 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lf8o2uJo0k1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://thomasmurray.tumblr.com/post/2818908675/thedailywhat-above-1-million-brick">thomasmurray</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://thedailywh.at/post/2818525320/this-x-that-know-this-sources-joe-lieberman">thedailywhat</a>:</p> <blockquote> <ul><li><strong>Above:</strong> 1-million-brick 1:100-scale <a href="http://www.bookofjoe.com/2011/01/ohio-stadium-built-with-one-million-legos.html">Lego replica of Ohio Stadium</a> by Ohio State University associate professor of physiology and cell biology Paul Janssen.</li> </ul></blockquote> <p>Like a boss.</p> </blockquote> <p> Uh-mazing!</p>http://lifesynchronized.tumblr.com/post/3018196416http://lifesynchronized.tumblr.com/post/3018196416Sun, 30 Jan 2011 16:23:51 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L64c5vT3NBw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Love.</p> <p><a href="http://valeriek.tumblr.com/post/2604734599/a-darling-cover-of-home-by-edward-sharpe-the">valeriek</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>A darling cover of “Home” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.</p> <p>Too frickin’ cute.</p> </blockquote>http://lifesynchronized.tumblr.com/post/2610048574http://lifesynchronized.tumblr.com/post/2610048574Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:12:11 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lehae26yOQ1qb94z2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Took the mother fucker out of her leg and she now has a new leg!  Sooo long Cancer!
