2008 My Generation Dance Recital

Ok I am sooooo sorry that I havent blogged in approximately 2 weeks =] But I have been sooooo busy its almost funny, but not quite =] Well we just had our Dance Recital and it was truly one of the most fun/exciting/busy/sad weekends of my life! You might be wondering why it was sad, but you will have to read further to find out! Haha. Well all this craziness started on friday when we had our Dress Rehearsal. Dress Rehearsal was REALLY good for Hannah and I we did really well at our dances I messed up in the Enya and the Ballet 2 class dance, but the other dances I did rather nicely. So I was pleased with that day. It took so long and I was soooo tired and it seems all a blur, so as I sit here in front of my computer I am trying to remember what happened. Its not working. AAARGH! Well you will just have to take my word for it I was fantasticaly fun! =] One of my good friends, (Not that I have bad friends haha) Emily had gotten hurt on Wednesday, she sprained her ankle, and so she could not perform on pointe, for some of her dances and it hurt a loooot so she was really sad! I was sooo sad for her to! When I called her that night to see how she was, I was crying too, but I didnt want to make her feel even more bad so I tryed to hide it. So there was a lot of drama that day because I got the cruel news that I can only do 1 class this summer and I will most likely have to cut down 50 percent of my dance classes next year. So I was crying about that and then I cryed about Emily and so that was just a very emotional day for me! The next day I texted my friend Andrea and we got to "talking" about Emily and I was saying that I wanted to do something special for her, so we decided that I would get a card and decorate it and then Andrea would get her cookies and that I would get my mom to get flowers for her. So that day was really busy trying to get all that stuff together, trying to find a good poem for the card was really hard, but I did find a good one for her. =] And then Hannah and I decorated the HUGE card. Then the next day, friday, we had the Dress Rehearsal and we gave the card and cookies and flowers to Emily and she cryed and said that she loved it, it was nice to make her feel better. Because I felt really bad for her. =[ But I am glad to report that Emily made it through "The Weekend" and that she is on her way to being fully recovered! (I sound like a doctor, but that was the point) So that was a fun filled, frantic, emotional, and dramatic day. It only got worse. On Saturday was the DAY that we had sweated, stressed, worked, cryed, laughed, and hurt various body parts for. And the day stared out good the first show went through without any "emotionaly happenings" but the second show............... I am getting ahead of my self, lets backtrack to the two and a half break we got in between shows. Our friends Kaitlin and Casin came over to watch both shows so in between the shows we went to Ruby Tuesdays and I had french fries lol I LOVE french fries!!!! And Tim, Casin, and I had a chugging contest with our cherry lemonades it was soooo funny! I won!!!!! I downed about half of my drink and Tim was close, but he wouldn't admit it =] But I will for him =] That was soooo fun! Then we went back for the second show. The second show was ok I guess. Hannah had some mishaps in her Jazz/Lyrical Company performance she fell on stage and so she was really sad about that. She also had a mishap in our Ballet 2 class, but its fine, I bet nobody noticed except for the people who know the dance. I really messes up in my Candyman tap dance it was NOT good. But I will and did survive =] I had a really long break in the second show so I spent a lot of it talking with my friend Amy. And I got to know her more so that was really nice. Here is a nice break from reading so that you can look at some pictures.

Here is Hannah, Kaitlin and I

Haley, Drew, Emily, ??, Carissa, Missy,Amanda,  Alexis, Callan, Me, Andrea, and Lilly

Haley, and Maili doing weird faces and Andrea looking surprised =]

A cool picture of Alexis

Kaitie and I

Hannah and Kaitie with "The King"

Me, looking very happy! Haha

My Ballet Teacher Ana, and I. Sorry that some of these are blury =]

Apparently some people ( namely hannah) have been complaing about the weird pictures I put of them so I  am putting a weird picture of me now. PLEASE do not laugh!

Ok so there it is. I was beckoning other people to come and join the pisture when this was taken.

Here is Amanda, Emily, Hannah, Rachel, me, and Kaitlin

Ok so back to the reading, My really good friend Rachel came to the Recital and that was really fun! So I was talking to Emily and I was telling her that I wouldnt be doing a lot of dance in the summer. And then I started crying and then someone was passing and said if you want to cry go over there to join the cry fest. And so we went down the hall and there was soooooo many people and they were all crying because our friend Missy was leaving the Y so we all were crying and sobbing and my dad was taking some pictures trying to capture the moment. Uh Hum, so yeah he took them even though we were telling him not to through our tears. But he did anyway. So we were crying and hugging each other for about 30 minutes  while our friends and parents looked on with strange looks on their faces. I wonder why. lol

Poor Kellen was so sad!

Here is a funny picture of Hannah my dad was going to take a picture of Hannah when she was crying when some unwelcome people showed up jk. At least she is smiling now! =]

Ok thats all for now I will post again about this tomorrow maybe =]
