Yes, it's June something or other... (the days are starting to blur together)
But I have missed a few things that occurred in May that I would like to recap...
- Duran Duran Concert: It was a BLAST! and I cannot believe that I have never seen them in concert up til now. I danced to every single song played and I felt like a teenager again. My only wish is that I would have gone with someone who loved it as much as I do. Jason was more or less there as a companion for me not ever really 'getting in to it'. My other regret is that I didn't know at this particular venue that cameras were not allowed. I could have snuck in a small point and shoot camera BUT I didn't plan for that and so my SLR stayed tucked away under the seat of the car while I watched tons of other fans with their cute little cameras and camera phones taking photos all over the place. It aggravated me to no end. It was the ONE thing I really wanted to take away from this experience. I will have to go to another show sometime just to capture it in photos! *grin*
- NJ: WOW... what a whirlwind that was! We left early Saturday morning and only had one 45 min block of time where we ran into some traffic (accident just outside of DC) and made it to NJ in about 10 hours. Got to meet the mother of Miss Kasi (M's Hip Hop Teacher) and woke the next morning to head to the Workshop where Kaba Modern and Iconic instructed for over 4 hours. I believe it was a very rewarding and memorable experience for Madison. It was such a whirlwind trip that I think the quality time spent will perhaps be just as memorable. (pictures below)
- I finished all the layouts for my second book and it has all been sent to Memory Maker's headquarters. I fly out to Ohio on the 15th of June and stay for a week to work on the photos of the techniques featured in the book. Once I get back, I will write all the captions and intro's for each chapter and then the second book will be wrapped up. I'm shooting for August 1st.
Looking ahead to June... every single solitary day is filled with activites. If you could see the 'schtuff' we have lined up... it would make your head spin.
Recital this week (3 days)
Madison's b'day and then party this week (June 4th and 7th/8th): She is having a sleepover and then a pool party with 3 of her closest dance friends. In July she will have a school pool party. We learned the hardway last year that we don't mix dance friends with school friends. It's just too hard to 'blend' the two groups.
Fletcher AND Jacob have hockey tryouts this weekend for travel team.
A friend of ours is having a suprise b'day party Saturday night
Next week starts Summer dance lessons (every day but Friday and Saturday has dance!) and I have to finalize my stuff for my trip
Next weekend is State games for Fletcher's hockey team. I leave from Raleigh (after his last game) to fly to Ohio
Ohio the week of the 15th. Get back on the 21st and have to hit the ground running with my book writing and finishing up class materials for the online class I'm teaching in July.
Nationals for Madison's dance July 27th and 28th
WHEW!
so I hope to fit time in at the beach and the pool sometime in June.... I can't even look ahead to July yet... stay tuned
