Calgary

I just got in from a quick trip to Calgary to visit my sister Anna. It was great to see her, we had lots of fun and I'm very happy for her (ask her why if you don't know). I got my christmas gifts, thank you Mom and Dad! I love evrything! Where did you find the frame??

The drive home was the downfall of the trip. I knew bad weather was expected, so I left fairly early thinking I could take my time in the daylight, but it was a horrible drive anyway! Blowing snow and strong winds, and bad drivers!!!

I also would have liked to see Lanny and Dan, but we couldn't get a hold of them, they must have been busy.

I think I'll have ahot bath and some hot chocolate now!

So, this is me...

I thought this might be a good way for my friends and family to keep up with my life, seeing as I don't have a ton of time to phone each of you regularly. My life isn't super exciting, but at least you won't feel left out of the loop.

Right now I'm teaching dance (jazz, tap, ballet, musical theater, lyrical) in a few locations in the Edmonton area. I work 5 days a week and in the mornings I take classes to continue my education in this ever-changing, never fully satisfied field. It can seem overwhelming at times, but I really do enjoy the work.

I'm about to enter my busy season, and when I look at the calander, I'm afraid! I wouldn't mind if the schedule was a little more spread-out through the year. I am looking forward to the performances that my students will have, at competitions and recitals.

Keeping a balance with this career can be difficult, and I feel very fortunate to have found a partner as understanding and supportive aas Nathan.
