My little dancer's ROCK! And while their faces are blurred (because I don't have their parents permission/and I want to protect them protection) you get the idea, right? They came decked out in their finest GREEN! This is my first official picture together as a class. I heart them! Best 45 minutes on my Wed thus far!( We were missing one little guy too but he should return soon!)
Some of you may know this already but.... for those who don't....I have my own blog now. It's turned into somewhat of a therapeutic process for me. I love it though. It's been a long time coming. I hope to bring honesty, love and my insight into what my own journey has brought me along the way. It's proven to be an interesting and amazing life God has given me and this is me working through all the good and bad and hopefully coming out of it knowing I'm an unconditionally loved by my Creator. You can find me HERE. Stop by and say Hi! sometime.
I am announcing that I accepted (with honor and humility) a teaching position with a long time friend of mine. I will be teaching, when I get an official class, in January. The place: All The Right Steps Dance Center. The Director of the studio, Satrina Villasenor, I used to dance with many many moons ago. We were childhood friends and I adore her. And am honored to support her through this amazing journey she has been on with owning her first business. Could I get a better gig or what? Next to motherhood, it's quite honestly the BEST. Ever! My classes will be on Wednesday's and consist of a mommy and me class and 2 creative movement classes for children 2 1/2-3 1/2 & 3 1/2-4 1/2.All classes will be in the morning. Soooooooo exciting,can you tell? So if you are LOCAL, tell your friends and check out the green link above for more info coming soon. Wish me luck on my new adventure.
These pictures hang in my sewing room above me. I wanted to share them today. I miss my mom today. I miss her every day but today for some reason is tougher than most. She should be here. Enjoying her grand babies with me. Laughing at inappropriate jokes with me. Helping me with my girls as they grow up. Coming over to have coffee with me in the morning. Just hanging out with me.Anyway, she is missed today and I wanted to honor her here. She is beautiful to me.
These last days of the most amazing weather on the Monterey Bay are something to savor.They don't come around often so you just have to enjoy it while it lasts and stop complaining it's too hot already! Geeze. Late afternoon smoothies, warm evenings that display clouds in patterns across the sky and an adorable new mug staring back at you, just seals the deal for me as a mom. Breathe it all in.
This would be our latest purchase, well kind of. Sam and I spotted this gem in Carmel valley months ago and had high hopes and long shots of even getting our hands on it. It was bank owned but we went for it and low and behold, God allowed us to seal the deal. We closed last week and we still might be in shock. Theres no big and fast plans to make a quick move out there, we are still weighing all our options with the future of this endeavor. But she's a beauty don't you think? needs a lot of TLC but we have a vision and it's beautiful. One whole acre on the CV river literally and lots of freedoms for our girls but for now, we dream and wait to see what our next move is. for now we wanted to share this BIG DEAL, well, to us at least! With all of you!
Sam begged me not to post the pics I took for an offcial 'Before & After', so I offered to take photo's too. Sam has dedicated the next 90 days to BEATING, yes, I said it Christine, Totally kicking butt and winning the biggest loser contest. Sam is competitive. What man isn't right? But when Sam is challenged, he does go for it with all he's got.Christine and My man have challenged eachother to a contest of sorts to getting their bodies in shape. This is serious folks and although I am not an official competetor, I will be a great cheerleader and maybe lose a few for myself too. So here is to some accountability and a look at what we both have to work with. Go Babe!
