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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The panelist for the NGWSD briefing on Capital Hill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the lobbying workforce.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Giving an interview on the Olympics and why Title IX is so important.

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.
