Last weekend I had my CDT (contemporary dance theater) reunion that had been on my calendar for about 2 years.
I
can't explain to people the effect that this experience (CDT in
general, not the reunion) had on my life. There were only 5 years that
BYU-Idaho had a touring contemporary company once it became a 4 year
school, and I was on the company for 4 of those years (and 3 weeks of a
5th year). After that it became Dance Alliance, which is really cool
but just not the same. I'm overwhelmed by the idea of how few of us had this experience!
Thank you to some of my very best friends in the whole world for an amazing and eye-opening weekend. Love you all (and missed you if you couldn't be there).
And this leads me to my next news. A fairly giant group of my dance friends and I now have something else to share...all of us having a child who will be the same age :) 3 of the girls didn't get to come because their babies already came or are coming in a couple weeks, but here are the rest of us in order by due date. August, September, October, November, DECEMBER (that's me), and January.
I forgot, I also successfully ( I think) planned my 3rd ward party. It was a couple of days ago at the park and it was really fun. Who said the Activities committee chairperson shouldn't be a ward calling? The best thing about my "calling" is that I plan things and people SHOW UP!
Next post I'll get back to spotlighting my children. Everest is making some big (and inconvenient) strides.

What what?!? Did I just read that your pregnant?!? Congrats!!!! That's exciting!!
Whit, I just smiled SO BIG at this blog because do you remember that first day I dropped you off at college and we somehow wandered into that empty rehearsal hall at the Kirkham and you went "Hmmm" and I went "Hmmm." And this was all before you'd ever even auditioned. You had no idea what was to come, and to be honest I had a really hard time leaving you there...
But then, I somehow ended up with a thousand hours of incredibly beautiful dancing on video! And you ended up with a thousand hours of incredibly beautiful memories! And I am still stunned and amazed each and every time I watch those vids! They were brilliant and beautiful! As are all of you!
And also, thank you to Wendy for taking such good care of my Whit all those years! : )
I forgot to tell you on the phone the other day, that I am excited for a little niece. Please.
Congrats! I'm so excited for you (and all the other girls). So fun to see many familiar faces.
