Hi! So there not much to talk about (Gasp) Because well, after the Recital there is no dance classes (AAAAAAAHHHHHHH) Sorry I just had to let that out haha. But seriously I absolutely am about to die from not being able to dance! As I sit here I am reminscing about how wonderful it feels to dance and how I wish that I can dance, but its break week and there is no dance! Let me repeat that NO DANCE! Hannah and I are officially going CRAZY! But we only have been off dance for 1 week and we still have 2 weeks to go! This is NOT cool! And I am very sorry to report but my knees are taking a rest time. (more like a timeout)  This summer is going to be filled with "fun" activities such as swimming laps for  30-45 minutes a day 3 times a week, and doing Nordic Track 30-45 minutes a day 3 days a week, doing various weird excercises to rehabilitate my knees every day, and last but not least the machines that help my knees. I am not sure exactly what they are called but they are going to help me a lot this summer. At least they better! And the worst thing about this summer is that I am only allowed to take 1 lets repeat that ONE Ballet Class!!!!!!!!!!!! Do I need to tell you how sad that makes me feel? Its going to be very hard not being able to dance a lot this summer. Unbelieveably hard. But with Gods help I will make it with as few tears as possible. We still have to decide what ONE class I can take and its going to be hard. Whenever I talk or think about it the tears come. Its so hard! And next year I have to cut down 50% of my dance classes. That too is going to be hard, but I am not going to think about that at the moment. There is not even going to be a next year if I dont get my knees better this summer. My parents have made it crystal clear that if I do not get my knees better then there is absolutley no way I will be allowed to audition for my beloved Ballet Company. Which is making me cry as I am typing this.

Some better things this summer is that I am going to be nannying these to very cute girls Isabel and Jessica who are 6 year old twins. I am going to be watching then 5 days a week fro about 8:30-1:15 monday through friday. And I am starting tomorrow! Which is very exciting!

Yesterday I went up to the Duckabush for a CIT Meeting. It is for a Camp that my brother and I are going to be working at this summer. It was lots of fun to just hang out with Rachel! =] Thank you Rachel for coming and not leaving me with Josh, Tim, and your Dad. haha =-]

I have been meaning to blog about the rest of the recital, but I want to get the videos ready so you will have to patiently wait for them =]

I did want to say a special THANK YOU! To my teachers Mallory and Ana though.

Mallory, is such a kind teacher and she was always so patient with me except for when I would constantly turn out (it drove her nuts) Thank you for being the best Tap teacher and for being understanding of my obvious problems with turnout. Haha I really enjoyed Tap this year and I am hoping to take it again sometime! BTW I was not the only person who woukd turnout Haley did too! ...........Just not as much as me. =]

And thank you to Ana for being the best Ballet Teacher in the WORLD! Theres not much to be said that wasnt in the letter haha. The very looong letter. But I just want to say that I love the fact that you are willing to work with me and my knee problems. =] And thank you for helping Hannah and I with our problems and for being there for all of us dancers! You are a wonderful teacher and I love you!

A Final word................................

Love you all!!!!
