High Five For Friday!

I’ve been feeling particularly thankful for all of the blessings in my life lately.

So I thought I would make mention of the highlights of my week!

First of all, is anyone else proud of my photo shop skills? Clearly art school is teaching me something!

1. I had a blast at my first ever tailgate with my new friends of summer. I can tell the summer of 2013 is going to be one for the books as long as I’ll be with these people.

2. For the first time in the almost 6 months that I have lived in this apartment, my room mate’s dog decided we can be friends. Unfortunately he only does this when no one else is home, but it’s progress right?!

3. I managed to get out for some “Me time” on Wednesday. I went for a run in Fairmount park, and everything was beautiful. This is becoming one of my favorite things to do!

4. The conversations my sisters and I have get me through the week.

5. Speaking of sisters, I get to see these weirdos this weekend! Finally, it feels like it’s been forever.

 

I hope everyone is having as happy of a week as I am!

Happy Monday!

I think Mother Nature decided to bring me back to reality after such an awesome weekend!

But we won’t go there, it’s probably a sore subject for everyone.

This weekend was packed to the last minute with all kinds of dance related goodies. My dance team at Temple University (Inmotion Dance Ensemble) competed at the Groove Competition in Lititz. It was an EARLY morning, I was up at 5 curling my hair and gluing on fake eyelashes. But it was worth all of the lost sleep!

Looking this good takes hard work.

The whole time I watched the competition I kept finding myself fighting back tears. I missed doing things like this so much! Dancing is such a huge part of my identity.

I’m so proud of my team!

This dance wound up placing 8th overall!

And InMotion won the judges choice for “Best Dance Crew”

But I couldn’t stick around for awards, I had to drive back to York! I had Lady Capitals practice at 12:30. We learned the cutest new dance 🙂 I’m so excited about it!

Then I was up early AGAIN on Sunday because it was PHOTOSHOOT DAY! That’s right, the Lady Capitals shot a calendar 🙂

Tori managed to snap this picture of me, don’t I look thrilled? P.S- GIANT DONK

I also managed to sneak this pic of her, isn’t she GORGEOUS!?

She also has a lovely blog, you can find it here:

It’s been so amazing to be able to dance with my best friend again, and the fact that we had photo time slots back to back made this day even better! Except for the fact that I had to head straight to work after the shoot (womp womp).

Hopefully you all had lovely weekends as well
