dancing in my dreams.

From preschool to my freshman year of high school I participated in some sort of dance class.  The majority of those years it was "Creative Dance" a BYU modern dance program for children.  (Have I mentioned this before?)  I LOVED it!  Unfortunately when I was 11 I didn't get signed up in time to take the class and ended up doing a year of beginning ballet instead.  That was kind of the official end of creative dance for me.  I did audit a beginning modern dance class at BYU the semester after my mission, but haven't done much with it since.  I was never an amazing dancer, but the desire to dance has never left.  In fact many nights I dance in my dreams.  If not in real life, at least I make it happen then :0)

In any case, I try to foster a love for dance, movement and music within my kids.  It brings me joy to see them dance.  A few weeks ago it was a beautiful Spring evening so we took a family stroll.  Brie was flitting about, picking flowers, laying in the grass and dancing in the wind.  It really was so joyful.
