Here's a view of the last 3 days:

Thursday/Friday:
5 pm Finish Work
5:30-6:50 Teach ballet
7-8:30 Girl's Camp Kick-off
8:30-3 am Youth Counselor Sleepover
Yes folks, at 3 am I was sitting around talking to a bunch of teen girls about being a leader and I realized that I had to be in court at 8 am. So I shut it down.

7:00 am get up and out the door by 7:30
8:00-2 Court. It was a very unique experience.
2-3 Lunch with el hefe and Russell
3-4:30 Nap Time!
5-11 San Antonio trip for dinner/temple with a group of Kyle Stake Girl's Camp leaders
11 Bed (Finally)

Saturday:
5 am get up and organize ballet costumes.
5:30 check out hike for girl's camp
6:30 Hike Purgatory Creek with the Young Women
We did a geo cache. It was really cool. Pictures to come!
8:00 Realize we're lost. That we've hiked a couple more miles than planned.
9:30 Make it back to our cars. Our awesome bishop was there with breakfast tacos and orange juice. Yum!
10:00 Roll into my driveway where there is a clad of 4-10 year olds waiting to get inside, get into costume, and get their pictures taken for ballet.
I proceed to rangle kids for the next 2 hours in cute poses. ADORABLE! I love teaching ballet. I love to see these girls all dressed up. Pictures to come!
THANKS HIL for taking the pictures! Huge THANKS!
12:30 Put away costumes. Write this blog. Rest my dogs.

Not bad for 3 days! I can't believe I survived. It was one of those times that you plan everything and then when its time you think, "What was I thinking???"

Thanks to all who helped, contributed, etc. Now to go thumpin'

Ballet Tonight



So my tiny non-profit/ fundraiser Ballet Classes had their Spring Recital tonight. They did spectacular.

I loved it when my sweet sweet Russ pulled me aside as we were taking down the floor and cleaning up the dressing room and said, "I am so proud of you. I sat there and watched the girls dance and I was so amazed at what you put together and how much work you put into this".

That makes my heart smile.

I also appreciated one of dancer's moms tell me, "It was so professional, I can tell you've put on shows before".

Thanks. Thank you to my marvelous dancers. This was so much fun!
