Dreams of dancing



So Kyle and I periodically like to get into the habit of making goals. Weekly, monthly, yearly and so on. We were talking last night and Kyle said that he had been thinking about long term goals recently. Kyle suggested that maybe a long term goal we could have is to own a small studio one day that I could teach dance lessons out of. It may be a surprise to many of you to know that I used to dance...a lot, and it was and still is a passion of mine. I was on the dance team at BYUI for a semester and then I auditioned for and made the Contemporary Dance Team (or theater as they now call it). I still have a deep passion for dance and I get very nostalgic and teary when I think about dancing and how it used to be such a staple in my life. Due to marriage, a baby, lack of time and lack of space, I have become very much out of practice and out of shape. I guess if I make this one of my long term goals I'll have to dust off my old shoes and clothes and start dancing and conditioning again. I think I have my work cut out for me, but I have to say that the prospect of reaching my goal is very exciting! Wish me luck!

Good for you, Jess!! I'm very impressed by you (you always made me look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame at work, yes- I know it was just sticking needles in limbs, but there is definitely a certain grace that comes with it!!) Go for it and keep us posted on your progress!! You got me thinking of goals, and maybe I should have one too- Taylor thinks if I can learn the actual words to ONE, just ONE, nursery song for Ava- then our lives are complete.

Hey you have a cute blog Jessica,I am glad you told me you had one! I love dancing too, but I never got to do it much until I went to college. I love it though.

Yeah!!! I'm glad you guys are thinking about this!! It's kinda funny - Me and Marc have thought the same thing for me. So when the time comes we should totally talk and share ideas!!

I think you should totally do it! Our friend Skye just made the ballet company in Idaho Falls. Arizona's gotta have something like that to "dip your toes" in until your studio can be opened! What a cool goal! We want a hockey rink. Let's see if that ever happens!
