NYC

After choreographing for "Annie" the last 2 summers I can't seem to get the song "NYC" out of my head!!! This has been annoying on many occasions, but in March it was pretty fun. The Dance Co. at West Jordan has been planning a trip to NYC all year, so when I got the job as the new advisor, I was required to go, all expense paid. :) I was ok with that! There ended up being an extra ticket because a girl had to back out and there was no refunds, so Jon got to come with me!!!  It was SO fun, and so stressful at the same time. I'm glad Jon came so he could help keep my stress in check, and so we got some alone time that hasn't happened really since Torbin was born. But the best thing is that we had 6 moms so we didn't have to worry about the girls at night, so we slept through the WHOLE night!!!! YAY! Sleep! It was awesome. Here are a few highlights from out NYC adventures...

Just arrived in NYC- the girls were giddy, and I was relieved to 

at least have gotten everyone there safe! :)

We were lucky enough to have 4 girls who wanted to go to the temple at 5:00 AM on Saturday morning. Jon was able to confirm us all and it was great. I was so proud of those girls!! There is hope for the future after all. ;)

WICKED on Broadway!!! SO much better than when we saw it in Salt Lake!! It was AMAZING! We also got to do a "Behind the Emerald Curtain" tour which was pretty cool. After the tour we talked to the hosts for 30 min and he told the girls all about life and how you have to have balance or you'll loose sight of what's important.

The BEST view coming out of the Subway!!

Of course the girls had to dance on the Subway. :) They were so fun. They loved everything, and wanted to shop all day everyday! Their energy was exhausting, but a lot of fun.

Rainy day of sight seeing... we wanted to see Ellis Island, but were too late :( so we just took the boat around the Statue of Liberty. It was freezing and really wet. After wards we went to Ground Zero.

Afro-Caribbean Class at Alvin Ailey!!!! I feel like a real dancer now that I've danced in New York.

Carriage Ride in Central Park with some Moms.

Riding in a cab!!!

We missed our baby like crazy and it was SO good to see him at the airport!! But it was also nice to get away for a few days and have a nice 2nd honeymoon... with 14 girls, and 6 moms. :)
