just another day









So I feel like I work a lot, maybe its the constant having to come up with ideas for dance routines or just having to deal with children all the time. But in reality i only work like 13 hours a week. Not very much at all compared to all your 40+ hrs a week people. So as you can probably tell i am getting a little bored being at home and not doing anything. I am basically anxiously waiting to hear if i got the Hope Grant ( in Georgia if you are a resident and have a good enough gpa they pay for 100 percent of your tuition) so hopefully i hear back this next week. In the mean time i am just going over my schooling options and what i can accomplish and the amount of time it will take. I am definitely ready to get back in school. I feel like i am getting dumber and dumber each day. So i finally put up some new pictures of the studio. The studio still has some stuff that still needs to get done...aka the floor needs to get repainted and a few paint spots on the walls. and decorative things. but all in all this is what she looks like inside and out. If you don't remember what it looked like before scroll down and you will see the substantial amount of work that i had to do.

sun and humidity



It has been a few months since my last blog and I know my 3 readers can't wait to hear what has been going on. I opened the dance studio in June and had about 30 kids sign up. In July half of those kids didn't pay their tuition so it was very frustrating to deal with trying to collect money from those parents. Now with school starting down here I have had 12 more students sign up and things are getting busier and busier. In the summer I also added a yogalates class (yoga and pilates) I am not the one teaching it, but it is going great so far. We have classes m,w,th and Saturday. The lady who teaches is a military wife as well, and we are having a lot of fun learning the business side of all of it. We are not partners, I am still the owner, but I get a percentage of her earnings, so it works out for both of us. Josh has been really busy with school and I have been struggling with trying to figure out what to do schooling wise. I have pretty much decided that i will be going to radiology school or nursing school. However, it all depends on where we are stationed and if Josh get to cross train to be a chaplains assistant. If he gets to cross train ( finds out oct/nov) then he will have to go to tech school again which is only like 6 weeks long and then we would probably be moving again. The problem is that even if i start back in school the likelihood that things would transfer is not very high. As for where we live it is really hot mostly high 90's to low 100's plus like 90 percent humidity or something crazy like that. You can't go outside without becoming soaking wet and it is not fun. I am counting down the days until we go to Utah. I miss my family and friends so much and can't believe that my brother Cory is going on his mission next month.
