Getting ready to hit the Hill with Women’s Sports Foundation athletes Nancy Hogshead-Maker, myself, Donna de Verona, Lillian Greene-Chamberlain, Sarah Hughes.
Ready to go.
I got the chance to meet with Senator Bennet of Colorado. We talked about skiing and how to get more opportunities for girls in sport.
There is a lot of ground to cover on Capital Hill so we got a chair as well.
I will never forget this trip.
Possibly, a glimpse into my future?
Here I am with Personal Trainer to the First Family Cornell McCellan, Benita Fitzerland Mosley, Donna de Verona, Sarah Hughes and Lillian Greene-Chamberlain at the briefing on Capital Hill.

I still do not have words to describe how I feel, but I have a lot of great memories of my friend Sarah. And I wanted to share them with you.
We loved posing for our future album cover.
If there was music, we were dancing. I could always count on finding Sarah on the dance floor.
She got married first.
She showed me what it really meant to be a role model. http://www.womenssportsfoundation.org
So much stays the same.
The dream team = WSF Team
She taught me so much. Even how to pose.
The best Summer X, ever! I recall her and I dancing on stage with Three6Mafia just because we could.
Never a dull moment.
My SBF (Ski Best Friend)
My battle buddy : )
My life saver.
Teaching audiences about the GoGirlGo! Program.
No matter what, we were always having fun.
And making sure we were both alright.
No matter what, we always tried to do what was right.
We shared a love for cupcakes.
Sometimes I would win.
Sometimes she would win.
But that stuff never really mattered. We just liked being up there together.
As long as we were having fun. That’s all we cared about.
We did a lot together.
We complimented each other.
She was the perfect friend.
I will miss you forever Sarah.

Tomorrow I will be on Capital Hill participating in lobbying visits supporting the high school athletic data bills and Title IX in general. However, there is a blizzard going on in DC right now. I heard if the snow continues the government shuts down. So I will keep you posted and make you sure you follow me on twitter for step-by-step action. http://twitter.com/greteeliassen
