A great evening in the garden! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our second annual Industry Night, bringing together friends, collaborators, and colleagues from across the design and building community.

A special thank you to our co-host, @adammillergroup for a memorable evening filled with great conversations, @alfredomusika live music, @fireborn.pizza truck, and plenty of familiar faces. Already looking forward to next year!

Last night at Bloom Country 🌸

There was no better way to close out the summer than gathering some of the women closest to me for an evening in the garden, surrounded by flowers.

We made floral arrangements, shared food, laughed, created, and simply enjoyed being together. It was a chance for me to share a little piece of what I love with others!

A beautiful summer night with friends, family, flowers, and a table full of inspirational ladies.

Feeling very grateful for this what Summer 2026 brought 🌸💕

Vivian began her skating journey in our Pre-Alpha Learn to Skate class, advanced through Alpha, and successfully completed Beta. She has been taking private lessons with Coach Sama for the past two years and competed throughout last season, earning medals along the way.

Vivian is also a regular participant in our seasonal skating shows, performing both as a solo skater and as part of a duet. Most recently, she reached another exciting milestone by passing her very first US Figure Skating test with Honors!

Congratulations, Vivian! We are so proud of your hard work, dedication, and continued growth as a skater. Keep up the amazing work! @sky_a73

Road 2 Gold - yr 2 🌟

In comparison to a year ago being here, wow I have greatly improved. In the day to day skating, I dont usually feel the difference, but from a year ago to now, much has changed. I did not take as many photos or videos as I had thought I would. I was present in the moment with great people and thats what matters most. Now to apply what I have learned before I forget it all.

Thanks @road2gold for the amazing weekend. And also thank you to @sky_a73 for trying to fix my inside loops. Maybe they will be pretty soon.

"Hello? Life outside the rink is calling!"

From home buying and moving, to events with friends, and Olive time in between. Life has been feeling great recently. Love it all.

Thanks to @bpadge82 for the photos from The Runthrough Podcast 💕

🍑2026 Adult Nationals - Duluth, GA🍑

I have saved my best and favorite post for last. This is a huge sappy appreciation post for my friends and fellow competitors. Huge thanks to those who watched in person or on the live stream, came up to say hello, gave high fives or hugs, laughed, cried, cheered, threw tossies, you name it, I appreciate it all. You all are incredibly inspiring and keep me coming back every year. I could not have imagined 4 years ago coming back as an adult would lead to meeting each one of you.

I also appreciate my fellow competitors for literally putting up with the chaos I bring to the table.

Some extra special shout outs to my SCOB (and extension) friends who adopted me since I am the only competitor from my club. (And especially to @liztriesskating for putting me on the ice for Champ Silver) To @adultskater and @xtinatrecate for being the best roomies for the week. To @justgabbii and @alyn.wrench for being my mids besties that showed up and showed out at both sectionals and nationals.

Unfortunately Instagram does not let me tag more than 20 people. So 😭.

Adult Nationals 2026 is in the books! 🍑 Thanks to the Georgia FSC for hosting.

This week was an exploration in how low I can score in both showcase and freestyle. Honestly- it’s frustrating. I felt prepared and yet was not able to put out the skates I wanted or achieve my goal of skating a program I can feel satisfied with. That said- I fought for everything, which I would not have done at my first adult nationals a few years ago. I also have had my strongest season yet, excluding this week’s competition. I’m proud of my adult sectionals skate last month, and while I wish I could have sent off this freestyle program on a better note, I’m glad to have gotten closer to its full potential earlier in the season.

For those who don’t know yet, my new emotional program is special to me. The music cut includes my own vocal harmony track, mixed by the incredible @sk8chelskalix. It’s also the first program I mostly choreographed myself, with some polishing from @liztriesskating. It has a ways to go before I achieve the vision I have, and I will definitely be bringing it back.

As always, I wouldn’t be here without my wonderful friends- seeing and supporting all of them is the reason I keep showing up. There are too many to tag, but if we shared a moment together, than you for being part of my journey. I also wouldn’t be here without the support of my cherished coaches and family members. Without @coachmattlind, I likely would not be competing this season or finding positive takeaways from objectively my most challenging competition to date.

Congrats to all who competed this week! Onwards.

Medals are special, but they’re not the most important thing we take away from competition. The real win is the friendships we build and the way we show up for each other—cheering in the kiss & cry, fixing a stray hair before someone skates, celebrating a clean program like it’s our own.

We may step on the ice as competitors, but we leave it as teammates in this strange, beautiful sport we all love. 🩷⛸️

Special thanks to @sky_a73 for capturing these beautiful on ice moments 📸✨

Eastern Adult Sectionals 2026!!! ✨🔥

I always look forward to the opportunity to perform, but more than that I look forward to seeing my friends, cheering them on, and being inspired by all the new, creative, and crazy things adult skaters get up to 🤣 I still need to take more photos, but these are just some snapshots of the many moments that become treasured memories ❤️

Of note:
🔹 2 clean-ish freeskates (minus questionable combo spins 😅)
🔹 5(+?) happy recipients of new hairstyles 💁🏻‍♀️
🔹 2 new showcases at opposite ends of the spectrum 😂
🔹 too many hugs to count and so much pride for everyone’s spectacular performances 🤍

Last slide captures how I felt at the end of it all ☠️ so happy and grateful as always to wrap a successful competition, but brb gonna go sleep for a week now 😴

Adult Eastern Sectionals 2026! 🎉

My first time going to sectionals at adult silver, first time trying a championship event, first @skateronmars hairdo… the list goes on. Didn’t get in a rollover car crash this time (iykyk). Overall- grateful for the opportunity to do something I love among my favorite people. I would not be here without my friends, coaches, and family cheering me on.

See you in Georgia??
