I'm Engaged!!!

So the title says it all!! After 5 years of dating John finally proposed to me!! I couldn't have asked for a more special proposal. To some it may seem a little odd, but almost all significant events in my life have taken place at the dance studio.

It started Friday night. Friday is our big dance company day. Almost all of our competition kids have to dance on Friday nights. I had just started teaching my 7 year old competition kids, when Ms. Sandi came to get me out of class. She told me it was one of the teen kids birthday and we had to sing to her because she had to leave early. I didn't think anything about it because we always sing to the kids on their birthdays. When I walked the hall I started to get a little suspicious though because Debbie was guarding one set of doors to the storage hall and when I walked into the classroom my best friends dad had the video camera and all the moms had their cameras. All the kids finished singing the back storage doors started to open and in walked John with a rose and he got down on one knee. I can't tell you what he said, but that didn't seem important at the time!! Everyone in the room started clapping and screaming. The kids were so excited!! I was so happy that they got to witness this special moment with me because they are such an important part of my life!!

Now all the planning begins. We are thinking about getting married sometime next summer. I'm not picky about the date, whatever falls into place!! There are so many things to do. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Finally I something to actually post on this thing other than the mundane happenings of my everyday life!!

Viva Las Vegas

John and I went to Las Vegas 2 weeks ago for his birthday. It was his first trip to Vegas and my 4th!! I love that town and now so does John. We hadn't even left yet and he was already talking about our next trip!!!

Stalking Demi

On July 5 I took some of my dance kids to the Demi Lovato/David Archuleta concert. Our family friend, Patti, had bought the tickets for her daughter and her friends and asked me to take them. When I went to the concert I wasn't really into Demi Lovato, but she ended up being a very talented performer

Demi is from the Grapevine/Colleyville area and actually went to the Jr. high and high school that the Hunter girls attend. After the concert we decided to try and follow the bus. Through modern technology one of the girls was able to find Demi's home address in Colleyville and we started heading to her home thinking we would just see her house and then we would have a good story to tell all their friends. Well low and behold as we get close to her house we see her tour bus and we get in line behind about 4 other cars and follow the bus!! About 4 blocks before her actual street address the bus stops and Demi gets off to take pictures and sign autographs. I have to admit I was acting just like the teens I was escorting running down the street see Demi! Now we have a really good concert story and the parents at the dance studio were calling me and the girls Demi stalkers!!!

July 4th

I know I'm a little late on this posting, but I've been really busy! We had a very relaxing 4th weekend. We spent Friday the 3rd at the Ranger game. This was my first Ranger's game in probably two years. John, my mom, dad and I all went to the game with a couple of families from the dance studio. They now have these seats at home games that are all-you-can eat seats. The seats are usually $40, but they were running a special and the seats were $25 for this game. It included a seat on the home run porch and all-you-can eat hot dogs, nachos, popcorn,peanuts, chicken sandwiches, and soda. Totally worth the ticket price!! The Hunter's were also at the game and I'm attaching a pic of Landry in the really cute 4th of July outfit my mom and I made for her!!

Recital Pics

So I stole a couple of pics from Katherine's blog of Landry and I at recital and the other one is her annual individual pic. Whoever thought you could have a blog that's more about a kid that's not your or a family that's not even blood related!!!

P.S.
Sorry the pics aren't more center, I'm still figuring this thing out and got tired of fooling with it!!

The Cutest Tiger on the block!!

Me and my Sweet Potato!!

DMDS 26th Recital

Well we managed to pull another recital off! There were a few minor glitches,but for the most part it went well. I wish I had some pics of our hard work, but I really never have time to take any pictures because I run around like a crazy person for the majority of the day. I always love recital, but I have never been as ready for a year to be over as I have this one. I don't know why and I feel bad for saying this, but I just wasn't into it much this year. But the good news is a new summer started today and I have to admit I'm a little bit excited.
Landry danced again this year in the recital and I have to say I think she was the best little dancer.... Sorry to all the other friends in her class who's moms may read this, but you know you all thought your kid was the best too!!! This year was different than last year for her, she seemed to have know a little bit more of what was going on. She talked about dancing on the big stage and wearing her tiger costume all week! She also liked seeing me on stage too!! When I got to her house this morning and she woke up she was still talking about it. She talked alot about her friend Kennedi and wanted to know why Kennedi got to dance in 2 dances and have 2 costumes. I explained that Kennedi was 4 and that next year when she is 4 she can take 3 classes, but the little smarty pants replied" But Kennedi is smaller than me so how can she be older?" I just laughed and told her next year she could do 2 classes. So Katherine if you read this I don't think Bob is going to get his soccer player!!!

Doctor, Doctor

This past weekend was a weekend filled with doctors and hospitals! It started out on Friday morning our friend Jennifer called and said she was taking my dad to the emergency room because he was having chest pains. Luckily it wasn't a heart attack. They ran x-rays and made him stay in the emergency room for 6 hours. It ended up being a stomach virus that hit him really bad, but I think the scare may have been what Dad needed to make him realize it was time to go on a diet and start exercising!!
While this was all going on I had doctors appointment too. I had a really sore stomach and Thursday evening my pelvic area started to swell. I went to the doctor to find out that I had and inflamed stomach muscle from an ab machine at the gym!! They gave me some muscle relaxers and an anti-inflammatory medicine and now I'm on my way back to being normal. The doctor also tried to tell me I need to take it easy and not do anything to strenuous! That has been the tough part. Landry in not exactly the lightest 3 year old on the planet and at the studio we are a week from recital. I've been doing the best I can, but that hasn't been going real well.
Hope everyone is having a great start to summer! I leave for my first mini trip exactly a month from today or 29 days 21 hours and 49 minutes, but who's counting right!!
