Feeling sore and Jazzy





Utah Jazz game, 2004 "Retro night"

Long ago, many years before the picture above, in what now feels like my former life, I had a really fun job as a dancer for the Utah Jazz. I was much younger, skinnier, more flexible, peppier version of the girl that I am today. The job was fun and had many perks but the best part about it is the great friends that I made. They are beautiful, talented and fun women and though we don't see much of each other, when we do get together it is a blast. That brings me back to the events of this week. At the Jazz game on Wednesday many of the former dancers will be performing together for the first time since 2004. We have had one rehearsal already and it was so much fun! (and I am so sore!) I loved seeing everyone and learning how their families have grown and what they are up to. It is so crazy to see how all of our lives have changed! We were just 18-20 when we danced together and now we are all 30 somethings and we are wives and moms. We can still reminisce and laugh about all of the fun times we had together and this week we have the opportunity to make some more hilarious memories! I will post more pictures after it is all over but I am so excited to do it!

I had to LOL with your comment you made on my blog! I can only imagine it! I tried to be really nice to the lady, I could tell she was embarrassed ") So speaking of sore - I could hardly walk the other day because I started jogging after pregnant question. I really am out of shape ")

That is going to be so fun! I can't wait to see you! Good luck! I also hope that Holly posts the video. If she doesn't, I just might have to record it and post it. :)

Oooh how fun. I didn't know this about you. Kinda funny though, Meghann (Stromberg) Sjoblom is one of my good friends. In fact, she had to borrow my shoes for tonight, because they were kinda sorta, "mostly white" ;) Have fun and good luck.
