Snapshot Sunday!

I love living in North Carolina! I am so convenient to landmarks and attactions that people drive from all over the country to visit. This is Duke University's Chapel in the springtime when the flowers come into bloom.

All the children of the world.

Red or yellow, black or white, they are precious in his sight.

A Beach Wedding

Last weekend I traveled to Emerald Isle, NC with friends for a wedding for Lori one of our good friends from ECU. Lori and Brian rented a beach house on the beach and had a beautiful ceremony on the beach followed by a fun reception throughout the house on patio surrounding the pool. This is the house where the wedding took place. It was a beautiful house with a lot of personality.

The ceremony was absolutely gorgeous. After raining all day on Saturday the clouds went away and the ceremony was beautiful. The sun wasn't the only thing that came out to play. Dolphins and pelicans created a great backdrop for the ceremony.
It is always fun when our college friends get together. Especially for such a fun occasion like Lori and Brian's wedding. I can't wait for thenext opportunity for all of us to get together again.

Competition Season

I love the Spring of the year but it is by far my busiest time of year. For a dance teacher the Spring of the year means Competition Season. It means new dances, new choreography, new songs that need to be cut, new costumes, new blocking and formations and presenting these masterpieces for adjudication. Nothing compares to the feeling a dance teacher experiences when they get to see the project they have shed blood, sweat and tears appear before them on the stage. Our competition season is already halfway over and the dancers have done a terrific job! Our greatest accomplishment was this year's production number "MJ Remix," not only receive a platinum award and 1st Place Overall at StarSystems but this 8 minute long production number also received the highest score of the day! What an accomplishment! I could not be more proud of the hard work these dancers have put into their extra rehearsals and teamwork for a job well done.

Snapshot Sunday!

Spring is coming! My favorite season of the year. I love seeing the flowers bloom and nature awakening from its' sleep. The weather this week has been wonderful! Temperatures in the mid to high 70's which is very uncommon for this time of year. But I'm not complaining! I took this picture last year at the entrance to Duke University's campus. I love the beautiful colors and I cannot wait for everything to be in full bloom like this.
