Easter and a Weekend of Dancing!

~

Hello there blog world!

I know I am a lost soul to most since I have become the lazy blogger...lol! Easter has come and gone, my Sister Amelia THE very day of Easter actually BIRTHED an over 12 POUND (yes, that is correct) man-child baby boy, obviously were a couple of the highlights of our last 2 weeks. I would totally add a pic of that cute little tub o love but alas I have not actually witnessed him yet with my own eyes! We TRIED to be there the day of, but my poor sissy had a LONG hard labor..and can you blame her? So we had to drive home before she actually had him. I don't think I'd ever survive a baby that huge coming well, down and out, shall we say? In her own words: "OUCH."

Yeah.

So yeah- Kiddie Pic

On to this weekend!

SO I pretty much worked all week to learn a brand new routine for my first Dance competition on Friday...

~

And I will say that my fave parts of the experience were:

~

1. Bedazzling a dress I purchased online..with tons of crystal rhinestones...a crafty project that was totally fun and up my alley....and I am ready to do a few more now! haha!!

~

2. Practicing a ton...I just love it!

~

3. Getting all dolled up for the night.

~

4. ALSO, I had so many friends and family supporting me and cheering me on I almost couldn't believe it. It made me feel so happy. I don't think ever in my life have I felt so many kind people doing something like that for me. It was too sweet.

5. It was also really entertaining/ fun to get interviewed after the comp by some Spanish speaking TV station... who I guess because I have blond hair totally thought I was from some European country! haa!

My Least Fave part:

~

I was unexpectedly nervous!! In fact... I even blanked out on a few moves in our routine and I felt extremely unhappy with myself afterward. NEVER did I think I would do that!!! It was unexpected... On a positive note most people said they thought we looked great and they had no idea. So it was good and bad, you might say.

~

Nevertheless...

the very next night we had an opportunity to perform at Dennison University (and what a gorgeous campus) for a Salsa night at the school....and I got a second chance to dance.

I did GREAT and felt GREAT! It was a redemption to myself that I didn't suck. lol!!

Here are a few shots....

Ooooh, I made my hair clip too! It was so fun.

Mark matched me...lol!

So...on to another week of dancing and such.

I start teaching Zumba at a Lifetime fitness on Tuesday...My sister Natalie gets married on Friday, as well as one of the Comfort Dental Docs on Saturday! So a busy wedding weekend coming up!

Have a great week!
