Hi everyone! This is Jasmine Jones. I'm new to this forum. I had a great time in TN! I just thought I'd create an account on here to keep in touch with everyone and keep an eye on what's going on in checker land!

Thanks for the warm welcome Ms. Willis, Mr. Moiseyev, Ms. Jones, and Mr. Holmes! And congrats on winning your division too Mr. Holmes! I enjoyed meeting all of you that were there too! ^_^

Sorry to say, but no Ryan and I will not be attending the IL TY. Going to tournaments during the school year is somewhat of an academic suicide; I'm just now getting caught up in school from missing for Tenessee (although the TN TY falls right around mid-terms for me). It was definitely worth going though! ^_^. The next TY Ryan and I will probably be at is the 2010 Nationals (we haven't set that in stone yet though).
