A nice weekend...


We went away last weekend to Lake Placid. One of my former dancers got married, and actually her husband danced for us also on the SJ Dance Company a long time ago, so we knew them both. Plus, her brother is getting married this Summer also, and he is marrying Gary's cousin, so it's funny how everything really is connected. We've known all of these kids for a long time, and they're not kids anymore. They are great adults, and great people, we love them all! It was nice to get away for the weekend, we don't do that very often. It always seems that every time we go to Lake Placid it is cold though, it was a little chilly there last weekend. The wedding was lovely, and the food was great, Sarah looked beautiful, Lucas very handsome and Ethan very cute!! We are very happy for them, and for their families. It was great to catch up with Hayley and Dan, we don't get to see them very often, and I miss Hayley alot!! We can't wait for their wedding in July!! All of our "kids" are grown up, and getting married, and having children, we feel old!

We did a little shopping downtown in Lake Placid, and we always have good food there. We went to the Olympics store downtown, and got 2 Beijing 2008 hats, and a t-shirt for Avery with the Panda character from the Olympics on it-very cute and very cheap!! We came home about 4:30ish on Sunday. Weird weather on the way home the temperature dropped about 20 degrees and we had hail, and it looked also like slushy snow-weird!? I was so tired Sunday, maybe it was the 5 glasses of wine at the reception Saturday night, I think Gary had 6. At least we don't do that very often. Sarah and Lucas had calla lilies at the reception, and that was our wedding flower. Sarah showed up at my studio yesterday, and dropped off some calla lilies at our house-thanks Sarah! Have fun in South Carolina!! Another thing was on our table cards at the wedding where your table number was written there were ladybugs on our cards. No one else had them, we felt special. We had a lot of fun, and it was nice to get away before crunch week before the Recital.

It is crunch week now for the Recital, this is the last week of classes, we start dress rehearsals on Sunday and Monday with the Recital next Tuesday. There is so much to do this week it's just ridiculous!! I am looking forward to my 3 1/2 weeks off after the Recital though. Just get me through this week, and the Recital go well that's all I'm asking for!!

Wish the weather would clear up, and get warmer!!

Love to all,
~Alli

I'm so happy you guys were able to come to the wedding! Hope the calla lilies weren't too brown and lasted at least a little bit. The ones at the house were totally dead and really smelly by the time we came home.
