Well, my blog has ker-plunked. Seriously badly. At the beginning of the year (last fall) I thought it was too good to be true how well I was keeping up with it. So, this is more typical, but I am going to attempt to return to my untypical ways of updating it regularly and see how well that goes.
The second semester of ballet was like a ballet marathon...especially towards the end. It was really good and fun, but it didn't leave much time for computer. Plus my computer is old and so it takes like 20 min to load a page (remember the old AOL dial-up? that's what it feels like) so most of the time I just give up and don't get on. But yeah, lots of great times in the ballet world. We had lots of performances at nursing homes and churches. We had our recital, which was great and tons of fun!!! Then a few of us went to Birmingham to help run a workshop there and then we had our own workshop at Ballet Magnificat! in July. This is the workshop I went to that got me to stay in Mississippi in the first place. I met some great people again this year and had a great experience, especially with the creative worships and Bible studies. So Mid-July I got to come home.
I've been home in Michigan for about 4 weeks now and time seems to be flying by. I've gotten to see a few people and re-connect with them and have spent a lot of my time with my family which has been so good. This past week, I got to teach dance at an arts camp and I loved it. I had a group of 10 girls and then a group with 6 boys and 8 girls. I've spent quite a bit of time in Traverse City jet skiing, wakeboarding, boating, tubing, laying out on the beach, swimming...you know, the normal camping things. Haha, in our air conditioned trailer with a shower and washer and dryer and cable.
I only have three left and they are pretty well packed with some fun stuff and not so fun stuff, but necessary. The fun stuff being, hanging out with my sisters, my brother's birthday, Traverse City with my faves, and that sort of thing. The not so fun part is that I have to get my wisdom teeth out next week. I'll try to post something about that. One of my friends is taking me, so we'll see what she has to say about what I say or do. Could be interesting.
Oh yeah! I am also 25 now. Guess what I got for my birthday...that's right, POINTE SHOES!!!! Not exactly what I want, but absolutely what I need, so I am very thankful. I mean, I do want them........
Anyways, I s'pose that's good for now. Gonna go hang out with Jessy now before she moves to Oklahoma. I should be around again sometime in these next few weeks before I head back to MS. Maybe even with pics, I'm just currently on my mom's computer with none of my pics because it's just so much faster than mine. So when I have time and patience, I will upload some. Ok, for real, bye.
