From tutus to blue jeans


Mom and Dad came to see my last college dance performance! Since I chose to go out of state for college, visits are sometimes hard to come by but mom promised she would come see me dance before I graduate! I am thankful for videography which has allowed me to show my family most of my performances! This weekend was the Dance Ministry Performance on campus! I have come a long way as my parents reminisced about how I'm still running off stage just like I used to, except this time I was barefoot and in blue jeans instead of little pink slippers and a tutu!
My parents surprised me by arriving very early Saturday morning. I thought they were coming Saturday afternoon but dad said they slept through the night like it was Christmas...I think that means they were excited! They left at 3/4am and got here around 10:00! I was barely awake and rather confused to which Evan can testify. I had a performance the night before and was still sleepy! Anyway, we enjoyed breakfast at Broadstreet Cafe and explored Goodwill and some bookstores! We love books and my parents have been trying to help me build up a first grade teacher library! They even got me some groceries which is always a blessing for a college student :)
Round two of the performance was Saturday night and I enjoyed another fun warm up class that I now deem should be re-named sweat class....it definitely did the job!



Here we are waiting back stage! Thanks Matt for taking pics!



There was one little hiccup with the music but it was still a wonderful performance and we are so thankful for the cast and crew and all their hard work! What a blessing to dance! I was reminded of dancing for my glorious King and Audience of One!
I am quite sore and rather tired today but thankful that I have been able to dance so much in college! It will be interesting to see how dance will appear in the rest of my life!
