We had Joy, We had Fun, We had Seasons in the Sun...

Hey Everyone!

Sorry for the silence, summer has been happening in my corner of the world!  This year for me that looks something like this: going swimming on my days off, still teaching piano and working at the bridal shop, but many of my piano students are on break so it is a more relaxed schedule.  I've also been catching up on a lot of reading and dance classes!  In case you didn't know it, I LOVE dance.  :)  This past week I even got into my splits for the first time!  Here's a pic to prove it!

I also had the chance to go out and do a dance themed photo shoot with one of my good friends from work who happens to also be magic with a camera.  :)  I was pretty excited about this as I have been wanting some dance themed pictures for awhile!  I'll even give you a sneak preview, though in the future there is going to be a special post dedicated to them.

With my ballet shoes, I love how this turned out! (No pun intended :P )

Sorry this pic is a little blurry, it was a picture of the picture on the computer, however I do love this pose with my tap shoes.  :) 

The credits for the two dance pictures goes to Meggan Marie Photography.  :)

I also got to go up to Worlds of Fun/ Oceans of Fun with a group from church and had a blast!  I am definitely over my fear of roller coasters, yay!!!!  I road the Mamba and Patriot multiple times as well as the others and the Patriot is definitely my favorite!

With three of my awesome friends in line at Worlds of Fun.  From L to R: Kirsten, Me, Ricki and Ashley.

Then of course there was the Fourth of July Friday!  Since I was in the Philippines for it last year this was my first time in two years to celebrate, so I was just a little excited.  :)  We went over to my Grandma's as is family tradition and she made the best meal!  There was ribs, barbecue wings, brats, potato salad, corn on the cob, strawberry short cake and yeah, I better stop before I start drooling!

Over all it has been a great summer!  I love this time of year, the weather has been beautiful so I've been able to go outside a lot and enjoy the weather and God's beautiful creation.  Spending some great quality time with my family and friends has also been a huge perk of it being summer and everyone's schedules while crazy, have a little bit more time to them.  :)  Hopefully sometime this week I'll get back in the groove and finish up the blog series I began, I just wanted to pop in and give a little update on life.

Have a blessed week!
