A report.

My Mom and Dad just called me and said, "We are calling for a report!" She was so excited, and the first thing I thought of was that my ultrasound appointment wasn't until tomorrow. Silly me, she meant a report on the So You Think You Can Dance concert!

It was DIVINE! I was so giddy to be there, it really did my spirits a lot of good to go.

First because Lincoln was gone, I called up my good friend Corinne to see if Christie and I could join in on their evening a bit. Corinne, Jann, Jenni, Cami, and her husband Jake planned to have a yummy dinner at Qdoba. We got take out and then met at Cami's to watch a few highlights from the show. Then we all hopped in Cami's van, which was such a blessing for me. Five words; stick, traffic, high heel boots.

The concert started with the top ten dancers, and every once in a while they would surprise us with a dancer that was not in the top ten. The first of which was HOK! They did a breakin' routine with all the breakers. Then a routine from the show that showcased Danny with Anya, was performed but it was Danny and Jaimie. I was a little sad because Anya wasn't going to be there, but then they brought her out with Pasha! I screamed, they dance so well together.(Jesus was there, and so was Shauna) I actually could keep on typing about every dance. I loved the dance with the two princes with Danny and Neil, this was amazing live! I could scream right now, but my kids are asleep. Neil was my favorite live, and Sabra, and Danny...because his last name is Tidwell, and I loved seeing Pasha's Pas a Doble solo, which I missed on the show. Another number that shocked me live, was the swamp creature number. I wanted to be up there in Sabra's hooded cape! Too fun! I forgot to mention Night of the Dancing Flame, the Angel and Devil routine with Niel and Lauren. So good, I mentioned this one to my Mom first.I loved hearing Lauren scream her heart out! HA! The reunion in heaven routine by Mia, was not my favorite on the show....but the way they performed it last night brought so much more emotion. It started with a quiet stage and all the dancers in white with their arms full of flowers. They slowly walked forward, and scattered the flowers. Then Niel and Lacey came out and had to search for each other through the crowd. Perfect beginning, much more memorable. I recorded a few little clips on my p&s, and I just watched a few. Now I am all giddy again. Check back for a few video clips.

This concert has inspired me to do THREE things. One: get laser eye surgery! I couldn't see very well, and we had pretty good seats. Two: Go back to dance class. Both of these will have to happen after the baby is born, but I still think they are two very good goals. Three: Update my cell phone contact list. After the concert we couldn't find our friends, and it was POURING rain. I didn't have anyone's cell phone numbers in my phone. They ran back to the car with out us, and were soaked to the bone. We found them, my cell phone finally worked, and some home I managed to come home pretty DRY. No stones please. I feel bad they were so wet, but I am sure it added some excitement to their night.

I bought a concert T-shirt, which was a total splurge. I also ran into some of my coolest clients. Their little boy is the one crawling on a giant yellow toad stool. I am so happy I was able to go, and next year I will be there again! This night ended up costing a lot of money, but I would spend it again in a heartbeat. Courtney babysat for me on a school night, and missed YW's too! Bless her heart, I didn't get her home until midnight. I paid her $50! She was so sleepy, with crazy bedhead when I came home. I hope she knows how much I appreciate her! My children love her, she knows where everything is in my house, and the best thing...I do not worry while I am out. I am lucky.


(I am feeling very nervous for tomorrow. I keep praying for comfort, but I don't feel it. If I could ask my sweet friends to pray for me (us). I am so afraid to look up at the image on the screen tomorrow. I can only picture the worst.)

I am so stinkin' jealous of that concert! Had I only known...that would have been a splurge well worth it. I'm praying for you for the sono. Bring your tissues (for tears of joy, of course!).
