Faithful Fridays~FINALLY!!

I have finally got around to doing a Faithful Friday's! :D

So, you all probably know I'm doing my solo, right? Well we have this thing called "Polishing" for semester 2 of the dance year. It's after you learned all of your solo. You pick a thirty minute time slot, by yourself or with others (In my case, I'm with a girl who's doing a solo, Kaylin, and my friend Savannah and her sister's duet). I was kind of un-confident because I would forget parts or get stuck. Well, I kept praying and praying and I prayed right before I started dancing, and guess what! I nailed it! :) I'm much more confident. I think I'll be ready for my competition prep thingy Saturday....if my stomach pains let up.

YES. Leave it to me to let up on fruit right at the time I get my solo all ready....and now I can't even dance. It hurts to walk! Please be praying for me. :D I believe God will help!

If you participated in Faithful Friday's, please let me know in your comment so I can stop by! :) Have a great day, God bless,
Love, Joy =D

A Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window... Christmas wreath we just put up.

I am thinking...About getting more babies on Babydow, and calling my friend

I am thankful for... My health

I am wearing... Blue Jean skirt and brown/pink pocket shirt

I am remembering... That I am supposed to contact my friend. Uh oh.

I am going... to China next year to get my lil' bro :D

I am reading... Dear America book: The Winter of Red Snow, a Revoloutionary diary of Abigail Stewart

I am hoping... that I won't have school. Haha

On my mind... My family and friends

From the learning rooms... New lesson in math. I'm terrified.

Noticing that... Where I just lost my tooth, it hurts....

Pondering these words... Poultry, Journal, adoption

From the kitchen... Sugar Cookies I made.

Around the house... mom and dad..and my cute lil' cat Bambi

One of my least favorite things... Being sick.

Here's a picture thought to share:

Thanks for stopping by!

WOW I Can't Believe That....

I haven't posted in....let's see...hmmm...FOREVER!!!!!! LOL!!!! How are you all? Please don't give up on me! Well....Here's what I've been up to.

I went to Mountain View with my mom, dad, brother, and brothers's girlfriend. We had a lot of fun even though our hotel was not that nice. It stunk in my bro and dad's room and the AC didn't work well in the ladies'(our) room!!!!!!!

We went to the Hoedown and the Square and the Folk Center and we ate at Pizza Inn and the "Cheeseburger Place" as we call it!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!! Then we drove all the way home again......where we all climbed in bed sleepily.....The end. LOL!!!!



Two days ago, we went to my dance studio where I take ballet, tap, and jazz. There is a class for jazz and tap and a class for ballet. There are five levels for kids my age and up - Age Class, Pre-C0mpany, Juniorettes, Juniors, and Seniors. It's not based on age really but maturity and attendance and attitude and being able to work with a team. Well, I was in Pre-Company last year and Age Class the first year (before that), and this year....well, I thought I would still be in Pre-Company because ususally you stay in that catagory for two to three years. You also usually stay in Ballet One for the same amount of years, but........I'M GETTING MOVED UP TO JUNIORETTES AND BALLET TWO!!!!!!!! It's sooooo cool!!!!!! I'm so excited! Classes start August 18, on Tuesday, then I have another class on Wednesday Then in October I add another Thursday class!!!!! It's sooo great!!!!!

Here is kind of a guide of the conversation at the registration where I found out this exciting news.



Me: "Hey Ms. T and Ms. L. and Ms. A and Ms. S!!!!!!!!!!!"

Them: "Hey Joy!!!!"

Several minutes later: Ms. T: "Joy, we were very impressed by you last year "(at this point I was getting very high hopes but if she said "but" I knew it was over....she didn't) " and we want to put you in our Juniorettes class.....and Ballet Two. Is that ok?"

By this time my mom and I(and dad a little bit) had on GIGANTIC smiles a mile wide and I couldn't speak, frown, or do anything but laugh and smile.

Ms. T: "I can tell by your big smile that it's ok!! Hahahaha ".

I just looked at mom and laughed and smiled and she dittoed!!! I still smile thinking about it!!! Ms. L started laughing and had her glance fixed on me smiling like I was. LOL!!! We all laughed then Ms. T started talking about the stuff like shoes dress code, comp group etc. Then I needed to go to the bathroom and they started talking about money and the bills for the studio time and everything!!! lol!!!

When I went to get the video from last year, Ms. S says (handing the video to me): "Here you go, Ms. Juniorette!!!!" and bops me lightly on the head with the case. lol!!!!!!!!!!

Then we tried on my new shoes (tap and ballet) and we ordered them and ya know what? The studio is now using tan slip on's instead of white laces/elastic.

Well, That's what I've been up to this week. We are going to the nursing home today. Oh and BTW, I get a "big sister" when and if I go to the "Welcome Back to Dance" party. YAY!

Blessings,
Love, Joy =D
