11.24.2006 - Hey there! It's been a few years...I'm currently living in Las Vegas and working for Cirque du Soleil as an acrobat in the show KA (at MGM). I feel very lucky to be getting paid doing something related to the sport I grew up doing and loved so much! Also, I have just completed my second ironman distance triathlon here in Las Vegas. My dad did this race with me and I'm proud to say that he, too, is also now an ironman! Contact me if you're coming to Vegas and I can give you a backstage tour or show you some great hikes and great cycling rides!

5.17.2004 - Hey Everyone! Just a quick update and an example of another opportunity that has come about from my involvement in gymnastics: I am currently living in Tokyo working for a company that provides kids the chance to get some physical activity in a fun atmosphere. In particular, I'm helping to start a gymnastics/athletics class for it. If anyone happens to be heading to Japan, contact me! This summer, I'm cycling across the United States with a non-profit group called Bike and Build. We'll be raising money and awareness for affordable housing. (If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation in support of me, go to http://www.bikeandbuild.org/About%20Us/donate.html It will be much appreciated!!). Then next fall, I'll either be heading back to Tokyo or starting my Health Promotion program at UNLV. Hope everyone is doing great!

9.5.2003 - Hello everyone! It has been awhile since I last wrote, so I figured I`d give an update. But first, it`s great to read everyone`s updates and hear what you are all up to, and congratulations to those who have married, are getting married, have had a baby or two, and/or are expecting!! So, I graduated in `02 with a BA in Human Biology (as did Jensy), but decided to stick around for another year to get a masters in rual and Social Anthropology. During that year, I kept myself busy by working for the team, coaching little kids, and working in the athletic department. In addition, I joined the triathlon club and competed in my first Olympic distance triathlon with the Stanford Club last April. (I think I was going through gym withdrawal and did as much as I could so I wouldn`t miss it!) After graduating this past June, I drove across the country with my mom, and then I headed up to Montreal to spend time with my boy, Jason, who`s training for Cirque du Soleil. It`s been fun living with people (many ex-gymnasts) from all over the world training for the circus. While Jason has been training, I`ve been exploring and getting to know the city, which is filled with tons of parks and bikeways. Also, the people are really nice and very active and I am enjoying trying to use French. Next week, after my first attempt at an off-road triathlon in Vermont, I`m heading to Boston to visit Jensy along with Kendall, who`s coming for the week too. Then in October, we`ll be moving to Las Vegas and hopefully Jason will have a contract with the show, O! I plan on finding a job for the year, then heading back to school at UNLV for a Masters in Health Promotion. That`s the plan for now, but it`s always open to changes!! One final update: My oldest sister, Laura, has just put her daughter, Blaire, in gymnastics classes at Parkettes and she`s loving it!! I hope everyone is doing well and has had a great summer!

9.30.2000 - Hey guys! I'm now a junior at Stanford! I can't believe how fast the first two years went. I'm majoring in Human Biology, and am also going to try and minor in Architecture, but am not sure if I'll fit that in. I'm having so much fun here and am so happy Jensy's here with me. I was so excited to see Parkettes in Sydney, way to go Maloney! I miss the Parkette family and hope everyone is doing well!
