Waiting in traffic.

We just finished teaching our class for Inspire Arts Collective. (: We taught a contemporary class together. We only had three students but oh my goodness it was so enlightening and beautiful. They looked amazing. 

EC and I are chatting about Sam Smith and praying. Trying to pass time. 

We are heading for a bite to eat and then checking out the big duck and the Chrysler Museum of Art. (=

On Wednesday, I had my actual first prenatal appointment! First ultrasound. She was so cute and moving and the In the Lonely Hour album was playing...and as we saw her Make It To Me was playing. ^____^

We get to find out the gender in three weeks from Monday! The day before school starts. I'm very excited. We really want a girl. 

Oh, traffic. 

I love working with these faith-based dance organizations. It's so good to see His inspiration in the hearts of dancers. 

One of our students today had her first dance class in years and she did amazing. All of them did. So willing to work and put forth effort. 

It was also very nice to teach with Eric. He and I truly love teaching together. This is really the first college-aged group we've ever taught. So far we've only taught kids. (= I love that we can express ourselves so well through movement and that our inspiration can be so easily translated to our students. 

Hopefully we can make it to the museum in time. I really want to enjoy the art. 

Go inspire yourselves! Art, dance, music, anything!

Today!

Is my first prenatal appointment. (: I'm very excited.

I should probably shower but I'm super lazy... I really just need to do it. Haha. But I have to shower and go through clothes a little. Meemerz is going super crazy... She should really be sleeping! Haha. EC and I are teaching a class this Saturday but unfortunately it's the same day as the KCVA intensive so a lot of people are going to that instead. :c

Oh well. There's really not a lot to do about it. I think we're both just really excited about this opportunity. We haven't finished a piece together since last year... So, here we go!

I'm at 15 weeks. 25 to go! But I'm starting to show and cute maternity clothes are probably the best part about this. We have to move into Molly's place soon because our lease ends on the 7th and I really want to be moved out of here by the end of this month... So, I need to get packing!

I move into the lofts on the 11th so hopefully we're not too much of a burden on all of them. (:

I'm very grateful to have such amazing friends.

Well, I'm going to go get ready! Talk to you all later. ^____^

This road is a long one.

We are currently driving back from practice last night for Genetiks Crew. So hype for the pieces we have in our set. Everything looks so good! Everyone is so talented. It's so nice to be dancing with like minded people. EC taught his piece last night. He was nervous that no one liked it because everyone was so quiet but I just told him they were focusing. He's told me before that a quiet class usually means that people are focusing and really working hard to learn versus a uninterested class that would probably chat a lot. But everyone was focusing super hard and really trying to grasp his style which is so different from the 4 other pieces we learned. In all seriousness, Eric has some of the most chill yet intricate choreography. 

We got two dozen donuts. YAS. 

I swear I am so dedicated to Krispy Kreme and Sour Patch Kids. It's not even funny. I bought two packs of the Stride Sour Patch gum. 👍

Eric has to go to work today but I need to clean the house and find my insurance card for my prenatal appointment on Monday. ); It has to be somewhere! 

We told some of the crew last night because our President asked. Haha. They were so excited and supportive! I'm so glad to bring a baby into such a happy family and community. 

I'm so excited. (:

Cheers to life!

Struggling.

We're really trying to watch what we spend. We've really been watching what we've been spending. So the fact that we just got billed $1,500 for water for the last two months is completely ridiculous. We already had Ted look at it and the water people but Thursday I'm trying to get the plumber to come look for ANYTHING. Because I'm not paying this much money for water for two months. Even between two people it's like $500 and that's more than our monthly rent. RIDICULOUS.

Either way, we're struggling to pay for everything right now... Rent, water, electricity, the car, food... We're really trying to stay on our own feet but I won't be mad if we get any money in food stamps... We are hardcore struggling. And it seems like even if we work every day it's not making a difference. ): Always so much to pay for.

I guess this is what life is about?

I miss walking into a store, my mom handing me a $5 bill, and that being the only money I handled ever.

Oh my my my.

Happy July!

We are super busy this month. Teaching private lessons, a dance class for Wendy's summer camp for two weeks, a workshop on the last Saturday of this month, and practice every Thursday for Genetiks. So much hype. We have so much to prepare and teach. (:

Our first class is today and I'm a little nervous...but I'm nervous before every class and every performance so I guess it's normal. I can't wait to get in the studio and teach.

I'm 20 years old now. Haha.

Weeeird.
