HELLLOOOO!!!


Wow, so I am really bad at this blogging thing.... I'm going to try really hard to post every month or so. I figure that would be a good time span b\c evidently I can't do it every week, that would just put way too much pressure on me. Anyhew, so much has happened in the way of life since my last postage, so I'm going to do the best I can with my limited amount of time, and I don't think that you would want to read a novel!!
1. The summer program went really well, I had a great time dancing, rehearsing, and performing. Chaperoning went well, the students were actually relatively good for a change, and I didn't think that I would be able to remember all the kids’ names, but after three weeks I was able to call everyone by their name, well almost everyone. It sure flew by fast though, and it was a nice change to have five weeks off from work and just dance, I did pop in periodically, but mainly just dancing!
2. I went and saw my sister in St. Louis about three weeks after she moved up there. I found a cheap flight and just had to go for a few days. We had a lot of fun together bummin around her new town. I really enjoyed the area where she lives, and STL seems like a really great place to live. We were able to go to the botanical gardens which were refreshingly beautiful. I got to attend her new church, I love the building it's so cool. I think she's met some really cool people there too so I am so happy God has blessed her so much in this short time she's been there.
We also went to a really yummy chocolate bar, and visited the City Museum. City Museum is so awesome!!!! I can't even describe it, it's like a playground for adults, it's a bit hard to fit sometimes but it is so much fun:)
4. MOVED OUT YORK DOWNES, THE PORTAL TO HELL!!!!
3. Dancing and work started up again, and all is going well, having fun, and soon will be working on Nutcracker. Work isn't too busy, but I'm sure with Carmina Burana coming up at the end of October, we'll be selling more tickets at the window!!! Oh yippee, I'll get to deal with some really happy customers!!
4. My mom and dad came to see me this past weekend, I love them so much. They helped me out tremendously with getting my apartment more settled. We had alot of fun buying things, and building them too. My dad finally got to go too his first pro baseball game. The Braves didn't win but it was still a good game, and man I wish I could go more often they are quite enjoyable. We also went to the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University, specifically to see the Egyptian Antiquities they have. They have their own permanent collection of mummies and the such, also the Petrie Museum from London was on exhibit there, so it was amazing. Thanks mom and dad you rock!!! I wish you could have stayed longer:(

I'm sure there are some fun things I did that I don't remember, but I don't need to bore you any longer with my ramblings. Now it is time for me to just let life play out and I will tell you all in a future posting, until then I love and miss you all, may God Bless you!

Hello all whom I know!!!
It has been eons since I have blogged my tiny existence of a life on the web, so here goes it!!
Well to start things off, I went back to my beautiful home state of Montana on May 31st to see all of my wonderful family and friends. It was so much fun to surprise Sarajane, she had absolutely no idea that I was coming home to see her graduate! I was only home for a week and got really ill while I was there, so it put quite a damper on things:(Wouldn't you know the only time you have to spend with people you never get to see, you just have to go be the sickling. I was still able to hang out quite a bit with everyone though, went to the graduation ceremony, and a few graduation parties. I missed everyone so much, I loved being able to just sit and chill with everyone as though we'd never been separated for a long period of time.
It was lot's of fun to be able to be home with my sister, we were able to share in our sickness together, so I wasn't completely alone in lying on the couch and continually watching movies, thanks Brit!! It was lot's o fun to hang out with the ma and pa too, although dad was working pretty hard, and when he wasn't working I was getting ready to see all the friends in town.
I got back to Atlanta on the 8th and started right back into the groove of things the next day, so I have been continuously busy and am still nursing myself back into good health(hopefully I will be all better by this weekend). It was surprising how much I missed Atlanta while I was back home; I really truly enjoy my life here:)

I just got done with all of my performances with Spitzer Dance Company this weekend. They were alot of fun, and it was so wonderful to work with his company, I love all of the dancers, and they bring so much passion and joy into the studio. Thank you all for making such a good experience and joy to perform.
Any hew I am so tired now and I have to go and scour clean my home to get ready for people to stay in my apartment this summer, and I have to get ready to move out this weekend to chaperone the ballet's summer program, so I will talk to you all later and tell you more about life and hopefully some fun things I have done and will be doing. I miss everyone back home, thanks for spending all that time with me, and giving me rides home :) I love you all and wish you the best of luck in all that you decide to do. I especially want to say how much I love Sj and Tara, you two are irreplaceable and mean the world to me. God-Bless ,

Helloha!

Greetings Everyone!!
So I have discovered I am an awful bloggster, I really need to be more diligent with my postings, they are severely lacking! Anyhew a lot has been going on these past few weeks such as our spring concert which was on Sunday thee 15th, it seemed to go pretty well we had some hitches but otherwise it was good, it was fun to be performing. I am excited to have some shows coming up with the other company I am working with, Spitzer Dance Company but more about that in the next posting. I had to help out with all the lower level spring concerts and rehearsals that whole weekend, so my life consisted of being at Georgia Tech, which by the way after some fun exploring seems to be a pretty cool campus:) We had this whole past week off of dance so that enabled me to go to the Opening of the one the only STAR WARS EPISODE III!!!!
I thought it was fantabulous!!! I was one of the nerds that went to the 12:01 am showing, I met my friends who had been there since 4:30, we played some cards ,ate , and the three of us saved a whole row for the ballet peeps it was quite fun. We had some real in life storm troopers there, with special guest appearances from Padme and Darth Vader, it was sweet:)(If I would have had time I totally would have dressed up myself maybe done some bun's on the the side of my head).

Other interesting facts about my life in the remote region of Atlanta: I recently went to a delicious Vietnamese restaurant called Nam's. It was awesome food, and you know you won't find that in Montana. I also went swing dancing, that's always a good time, watched a great movie"In Good Company", I highly enjoyed that film and am dealing with the neverending awful apartment complex known as YORKE DOWNS(more about that in the next postage).

I have to go now though because I've got some intense things to get to at work, so I will post later. I miss you all and hope to see you soon;) hehehe, only some people will get this.
Lots of my psycho love,
Chanteal
