Even now, my husband Jerry, our son Matthew and I live only five minutes away from my parents home, and my brothers live about ten minutes away. It's been great having such a supportive family.
My life has been a whirlwind since the '94 Olympics.
I worked also, doing things such as our paper route and, later on, waitressing.
People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. There was no other explanation.
Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.
It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.
