I thought I would give everyone a quick update on my classes for this week. Let's start with ballet since that was first anyway. The class started out quite well, we have a large group, there's at least 16 of us. Now, this is a teen/adult class, once I got a look at everyone I immediately knew that I was the oldest one! I've got two years on my friend who is in the class with me. First thing we did was warm up and do some stretching. Well I haven't done splits in at least 10 years, let's just say I was definitely not the most flexible in the class. We started doing some bridges, you know where your upside down and your torso is pointed toward the ceiling, I turned to my friend Nicole and told her that I thought my c-section scar was separating. We got a good laugh at that. I was surprised at how quickly everything came back to me. Minus the fact that I can't bend very well at this moment, I looked pretty good. Until we did leaps. I totally had those 15 year old girls beat on my split leaps, I guess I was feeling pretty dang proud of myself. I was feeling proud until I fell. Yep, I was mid leap and my left leg buckled and I face planted it on the floor. I think I instantly starting crying from laughter. The whole class was rolling with giggles so I did the only thing I knew to do and threw my arms up in a "ta-da" type fashion which only caused them to laugh even harder. I just announced that I was trying to break the ice. (I guess thats what I get for trying to compete with the younger girls!) About 5 minutes later one of the girls came over to me and told my I was really funny. She asked me my name and how old I was. When I said 26 she looked shocked. She thought I was 17! I was not surprised I get that all the time! Sometimes it gets old, but I know in the long run its a good thing. Not a wrinkle in sight and I have moisturizer and sun screen to thank! I was sore during class, thursday was even worse, and today wasn't awful. I did however have yoga this morning. Let me just tell you, it was AMAZING. I loved it. My instructor tailored it just for me. We focused on flexibility, strengthening my back muscles, and stretches to help with my poor sore body. The last 20 minutes is relaxation methods. Pure bliss I tell ya. I highly recommend it. Then I came home and broke our washer. Oh well. What's 300 dollars right? I'm relaxed people, I'm letting it just roll off my shoulders! ...I wish! Eric and I have been extremely busy the last couple of weeks and we aren't really seeing an end in sight. Thats ok though, one of these days I'll post all about our happenings, but not today. For right now I'm just content sitting here watching 500 Days of Summer (one of my favorites.) I'm also carrying my phone everywhere with me waiting for messages saying I have a new niece or nephew that's on its way! We're keeping our fingers crossed for yall...more so Katrina at this point, but we're thinking about you too Mandy! I can't wait for Danni Renee and Ollie Danni to be born. I know they're going to be gorgeous!
*I just reread my post. Doesn't make much sense...oh well! Sorry!

You know the older you get the nicer it is to look young. Since I keep my hair brown and my face plump hardly anyone guesses I'm over 50. ;) But I'm proud of you to really get out there and try those classes. It'll keep you young even if you do develop a crease or two. I guess with your new babysitting routine you'll have the money to get the washer - blessing from heaven...
loving the falling story. that is totally something i'd do too! keep your phone handy. at the most we've got 2 more days! woohoo!
Even though I'm sorry you fell, it was a very funny story to read. I'm glad you are enjoying your classes.
