Dance Update...

Many people have been asking me if I am still going to dance even though I am pregnant. And the answer is YES! It is kinda like my marathon, I knew I wasn't going to win, but it was something I need to do for myself. I want to see what I can do. Ben has been amazing, he has always supported me in whatever crazy thing I decide I want to do...whether it is watching Charley while I go running for 4 hours, or figuring out how I am going to get down to Arizona. But I am in good shape, and what ever the outcome of the competition may be, at least I will never wonder. Plus, I am just barely getting into the "I don't look Pregnant, I look like I ate way too much for dinner" stage, so my dress still fits!

These last few weeks have been crazy for us, and among the mists of everything, I have been working away at fixing up my regalia. It isn't amazing, or as decorative as others, but I am proud of it. A HUGE thank you to my friend Mari...she literally spent an entire day with me helping me sew the designs on my skirt. There are 4 butterflies going around my skirt, and with the little pieces, they were a pain, but she never complained! Then I have my head band, I attached some combs to it, in hopes that it stays on a little better. The bead design is really simple, but I added the metallic pink that I used in the butterflies to help tie it all in. My hoops are the last thing I have left. I have re-taped about half of them. I am adding a sliver metallic tape to them that I found at a car place. It is supposed to catch the sun light!...I hope they will catch a few judges eyes!...heehee

I have one week left! I'll be ready! Wish me luck!
