dance, dance and these are the lives you love to lead

i absolutely LOVE the dallas dance scene. i never thought i would jump into it as quickly as i have, but God has opened up many opportunities for growth and exploration.

i auditioned yesterday for the Dallas Mavs Dance Team. i met my friend, Natalie, there and she had danced with me for a long time back in abilene. it was really fun gettin to see her and hang out with someone i knew there. we had made friends with a couple of other girls. natalie and i made it past round 2, then got cut right before the last round which completed day 1 of auditions. so we almost made it thru day 1. it was a fun, interesting experience; however, i'm not sure sports team dancing is necessarily right up my alley at this point in my life.

i'm ready to stretch and grow and i've found a wonderful place to do that at the Centre for Dance in Richardson, TX. next weekend, i will be performing in a hip hop revue called Futuristic Dance Party in downtown Dallas. the choreographer had needed another girl and i was offered the spot by the wonderful amber ford, whom i dance with now! i've met some great girls by doing this piece and hopefully my opportunities will only stretch from there!

and now i have 2 more weeks until i start computer training for my job. eeek! i'm somewhat ready to start working because i think it will be fun and i also would love an income :) so i can get an apartment, car, and start saving $$ for a wedding! of which i have brewing ideas for, yay!

i sure do miss my jason though. he has gone to another base for an assignment until aug. 30th. so i won't be able to skype him until then. and when we get on the phone we can't talk a long time because of the long distance minutes. on aug. 16th, he will have been gone for 3 months. it seems like he's been gone years though :( i keep thinking of the day when i'll be able to see him in person again!

well...that is all for now...i might possibly work out :) who knows? its not very sunny to swim today after all...bummer...
