OPENING NIGHT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
Let me gush for a moment:
I'm so glad to live in Sitka where I can dance and sing....but especially dance, after tonight.
I didn't have any of the big solos, but I wore a pretty red dress and pointe shoes. I didn't mess up....well, a little, but not enough to wreck anything. I hurt my shoulder during warm-ups but got through the entire show smiling.
And even while I know I'm not the best dancer in the world, and will probably never even be pro, there is nothing I'd rather do right now than exactly what I'm doing.
My best friends were up there looking for all the world like the Seniors that we are, and at the same time I was in a show with one of my little sisters and my brother, and my mom.
And I knew out in the audience my dad sat with my baby sister....who actually had a bloody nose for most of the second act.
And to think this morning I was missing Spanish speaking countries again.....well, I still miss them, but I feel so incredibly lucky to grow up here, in all the wet and cold and pot fumes (haha, kidding.) and dance and family and craziness that is my life.
I felt so beautiful tonight. I felt like everyone was beautiful.
Okay, done gushing.
