2013…Where did you go?

Time flew by…

2013 brought me so many opportunities I never saw coming…


  • I student taught at Huffman ISD.

  • Visited New York City for the first time ever. :) 





  • Got my dream job as a middle school dance teacher (166 students!)

  • Moved into my first "big girl" apartment since college.


  • Celebrated my first Christmas in my new place :)

(Isn't this the cutest idea...cut the center loop in the large bow and just stick the smaller bow inside. Thanks Mom for the tip.)



  • Last but not least, I realized it's the little things that can't be bought that truly mean the most. I can only imagine what 2014 will hold in store for me.

So I don't know about you, but I'm so looking forward to the numerous dance television shows/movies coming out this summer.  I'm so excited about this that I've decided to devote an entire post to it. Enjoy! First Position This is a documentary that follows ballet dancers as they compete for dance scholarships. Unfortunately, there are limited screenings, so you'll have to go to the River Oaks Theatre if you reside in the Houston area. The only other screenings in Texas are in Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin. The film opens on May 18. Breaking Pointe This show premieres on May 31 on the CW.

Brought to you by the creator of Gilmore Girls, this show premieres on June 11. All
