We Took The Train : teacher.

life has been extra busy this past week or so. i started teaching at uvu. i was asked by my dear friend and past teacher, amy, if i would teach a modern dance class monday-thursay. i thought a lot about it, and talked to daniel a lot more about it, and finally came to the conclusion that it would be good. daniel figured out a way to clear his schedule for that time period and is able to watch henry. phew. so here we are. i feel pretty overwhelmed and underqualified. but i have learned so much. so much about a lot of things.

i really love dance.

i want my students to feel that same love and passion as i do.

i had the greatest teachers in college.iam so grateful for them.

articulating my thoughts into comments or corrections, is hard.

it is so rewarding to see them take a correction and then improve-amazing.

i feel like i put so much into each class when i am teaching.i want to help my students.

we are so blessed to have bodies that can move and express and feel things in such an emotional and physical way. what a blessing.

i miss henry a lot while i am away from him.

i am compelely content and happy with my life, and with my family.

i love being a mother.

when we put our faith and trust in God, he provides a way to make all our dreams come true, even the ones we dont even tell him about. he knows us, he knows me.

henry has been so sad today! its terrible. i think he must be teething. he was so sad when i went to teach today that it broke that mom heart of mine. i love that henry boy, oh so much. i have been thinking a lot lately about my life and just how grateful i really am that i am right here, right now. two people (one was a past pageant coach, the other a fellow dancer i once danced with) ask me if i was "really happy" to have given up those dreams for where i am today. ha! i am so happy. i am so at peace. i have a husband who is mine forever. together we have a beautiful baby boy who is full of purity and joy. i get to spend my days with someone who is perfect, it really cant get much better then that. i get to dance and teach as much as possible and i love that, of course. but there is nothing more rewarding then seeing my family. here. right now. i really feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
so yep... i am happy.

goal for the week:
only eat out once.
(harder then you think).

i dont think i have ever cooked so much in my whole life. here are a few photos from the week so far.
