Today was such a nice day. I went over to Tremonton to sing for my little seniors. (If you are wondering about my pink eye, I am no longer contagious! So, all those little seniors are ok!) It is always such a joy to go over and sing to them. They are the best audience ever! They love the music so much.
When I got back into Logan, I had an appointment at the Logan Rec Center to go in and talk to their youth program director. I am going to start teaching ZumbAtomic at their summer youth camp starting next week. Yeah! I will be teaching ZumbAtomic there for their regular classes but the summer youth program is separate. I don't start the regular classes for a few more weeks, but I am very thrilled to be starting with the summer youth camp. I will be teaching every other Thursday for 3 hours a day throughout the summer. Very exciting! I checked to see if there was any spaces left in the summer camp, but they told me they were all filled up. I knew if I blogged about this, some of you might be asking me about summer camp for your kids. But the ZumbAtomic classes will be coming soon, so I will let you all know! :)
Tomorrow is the big day I have been waiting for. My friend and I are going down to Salt Lake to a Zumbathon being put on for the American Cancer Society. This event will go from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. This is a treat for me because I don't get out of the valley very much, plus I just love our ZES that is putting this on. I have learned so much from her! But the biggest thing of all.....being a cancer survivor myself. I am a big supporter of anything raising money for cancer awareness. This will be an awesome event! I will try to get pictures so I can post them on here.
Sunday will be a relaxing day with my family. My son will be turning 13 in July, and he is at an age where he wants to be hanging with his friends or hanging somewhere else........anywhere but with mom! But I knew this day would come. He is such a sweet boy, but he is turning into a teenager and his little life is changing. From the time he was tiny, he has been glued to my hip. We are super close because my husband travels for his work, so most of the time it is just my son and me. I remember when I got pregnant with him back in 1997. It was quite a surprise, but I am so blessed to have him. He is my only one. I was extremely sick while carrying him and I just couldn't have anymore children. So, needless to say, he is very well taken care of and spoiled. I love him with all me heart!
Tonight is early bedtime for me! I have a big day tomorrow with all that dancing going on :)
Oh....and I just have to tell you all this. Please don't think I am trying to sound grandiose or vain. But I had the nicest compliment last night at my Zumba class at the church. We all like to hear the positive about us, right? Well, I have the cutest lady in my class from Colombia. (Beto Perez, the creator of Zumba, is from Colombia) She started coming last week and she just loves Zumba so much! When class was over, she came up to me and asked me where I learned to dance. I told her that I used to dance many, many years ago (like back in grade school and Jr. high) and I was so happy to be dancing again with Zumba. Then she said, "You dance beautifully. You dance like you are from my country, Colombia." Wow. I was flattered. That is such a great and awesome compliment. I have to confess that when I have Latina women in my class, I feel a bit intimidated because I feel like I am not dancing like them, and maybe deep down they are judging me! This lady is a beautiful dancer, too, and it was an honor hearing that from her. So, just wanted to share that! Now back to eating my humble pie.....
