Sooo...
Since the last post we have started our wonderful Oklahoma spring time weather. I have to admit this is my favorite and least favorite time of the year... Favorite because it is time for my b day and also my husbands as well, dance recital time, and summer is near!!! Least favorite because of one main thing... STORMS!!
I hate storms. I get so scared and nervous every time we have a severe storm that could turn into a tornado. I have always been scared of tornadoes but I have always been lucky because they don't really happen a lot where I'm from. BUT... last year a tornado came too close for comfort. On the May 24th tornado last year hit like a mile away from my house. We were so lucky that it jumped our neighborhood and we had minimal damage. On a side note we had just finished our fence like a month before so we were super lucky our fence didn't blow over like a lot of people in our neighborhood. ANYWAYS... last year we took cover in our next door neighbors shelter so we were lucky to have that option for safety. The main thing I hate is that I can't have all of my babies with me. We had to leave Samson in our house because he was too big and we took the girls to the shelter. But I can't complain too much because I had my husband with me and we were safe underground. This year we had some severe weather and I am sooooo thankful that it didn't turn into anything.
ANYWAYS.....
Last weekend we had our last dance competition for the year. I am so proud of my dancers! They did a great job!! The dances that I choreographed received a gold, a platinum, and a double platinum. They also placed in the top 10 over all getting 8th, 3rd, and 2nd in their division. I was very pleased! They all worked so hard and performed very well!!
This weekend is going to be very busy. Well I should say this Saturday is going to be very busy. I start out the morning working at barre3 and then race down the highway for two dance rehearsals and then I come right back up the highway to have dinner with my family to celebrate my birthday! I am excited to spend time with my family. That is always a good time!!
In the words of my Grandad... "They say time flies when you're having a good time. Well I must be having a ball!"

on a roll..
Oh Friday nights... When my husband is at work it is super boring to be at home by myself. I try to keep myself busy and do house chores.. but tonight I didn't manage to do that at all. Oh well :). When I'm home by myself it gives me time for just some Allison time. Tonight I have been thinking about my life and how different it has become.
When I look though my pictures or videos on face book sometimes it makes me kinda sad. I get sad because I see all of my high school or college friends and I remember how much I loved spending time with those people. Especially college. Being in the dance program it was like being in my own sorority. We were always with each other and sometimes we even lived together. I met some of my very best friends in college and time and distance has pulled me apart from most of them. After college I moved out of Edmond and then eventually moved back down to Lawton to start working at the studio full time before I got married. My friends who I saw every single day, I see maybe once a year. It is pretty sad when I think of it that way. I get so busy and caught up in my work life and spending time with my husband, that sometimes my friend life suffers. I literally have to make a point to schedule hang out times with my friends on my calendar to make sure I get it all in. That sounds kinda snobby but oh well it is what it is.
OK before I get too sad....
Easter is this weekend!!!!! Family time! Today my husband and I went Easter outfit shopping and we came out successful (thank goodness!)!! I made it a point to find something long because my legs are way too white to show off!
Come on sunshine.. last longer than a couple of days!!
I need some color for the weddings I am going to be in! Now that my hair is blond I need some color on my skin to break up the pale colors in some outfits! Oh well summer is almost here and so is my b-day.
Speaking of my birthday... I haven't been too excited about this one.. 26. Now that I'm past all of the fun ages, now birthdays just mean I'm getting older :(. Oh well it is bound to happen.
Well off to bed... I have work early in the morning... the end

really?!
It is April already?! Really?!?! Wow... I have abandoned my blog once again and I made myself post something tonight. So... here is goes...
I have been way busy lately. I have been trying to find some moments of down time and when I find it I really try to embrace it as much as I can. My dance life has been way busy. We have started our full cast rehearsals on the weekends which means I have to add another day or two to my driving to Lawton schedule. We do full cast rehearsals to run the shows completely and that way the dancers know what dance they go after. This year we are doing 3 shows which is a first. It is pretty exciting to me to have 3 shows because that just means our studio is growing so much that our shows would be too long if we only had 2! Exciting times! We have also started learning our teacher's dance. That means... I GET TO DANCE! Which also means my body has been hurting :). But its a good hurt!
On another note.... It has been a while but for Spring Break my mom and I headed to Dallas to get away and do some shopping. It was good to have some girl time and it's always nice to spend some one on one time with my momma. We got to meet up with my cousin Kristen and I am so glad we got to see her! My cousin Kristen and I are one year apart. We grew up dancing together and were always spending the night at each others house. Now that we are older, and she now lives in Texas, we only get to see each other at family events... so it was nice to spend some time with her! While we were in Texas it rained.... and rained.. and rained. It was almost comical how much it rained because it seemed like every time we got into the car... it rained! But all in all it was a good time!
In other news... I got another job! I am working at Barre3 at their new location in Edmond. I am working the front desk and so I had to learn all new stuff! So if you are in the area definitely check Barre3 out! It is a great workout!
So my life has been pretty busy but I like it that way! My husband and I have been trying to adjust to new schedules but we are making it work! He is now working a new shift and I have been seeing a lot more of his handsome face! Now that we have been married a little over a year and a half we have really settled into marriage. We are still trying to figure some things out but all in all things are good good good!
I know the next couple of months are going to fly so I am going to try to enjoy every second of it. This summer I am in two weddings.. (my brother's and my very good friend Whitney's) and they are two weeks apart from each other. I am so excited and very honored to be apart of these two special days!
Anyways.... Hopefully I won't abandon my blog anymore... so if it happens just yell at me! :).. the end..
