A Spring in Her Step! April 2024

Austin Powers Meets Men in Black

4/4/24

Callie enjoyed taking Social Dance her freshman year. The end-of-the-year performance coincides with the Dance Company's spring showcase. The hip-hop fun her class brought was a nice break to the serious lyrical dances, "There's that smile!" She looked adorable. 

I loved that the Provo sibs could support Callie. Grayson took social dance in high school, so he could relate to what it was like to be onstage. 

Cal's with her pals and campaign manager.
I ordered up glow-in-the-dark polish for my nails without realizing how glowy it would be—when the lights went out, I didn't! 
Graham enjoyed hearing music from moving pictures such as Christopher Nolan's Inception.

Transition Fair

The spring in my step got wonky when I set up my first work event. First of all, I brought way too much stuff. The awkward bending while unloading it from the back of the car triggered it. Then, as I entered the building, a lady in front of me was wheeling in a wagon full of stuff. The wagon was caught in the door, but she just kept pulling. I bent over to try and move the wagon. She was oblivious and kept pulling till the wagon yanked off a big piece of the door frame. Oblivious. As I proceeded to my booth, I felt my back seize. Callie was running in a track meet outside, so I went out on the lawn to stretch. It was bad—such a bummer since it's been a while. I had propped the door with paper to get back into the high school, but on my walk back, I saw the said paper blown into the bushes. The folks chatting in the lunchroom couldn't hear me knocking. I had to walk around the entire building hunched over. Still, I chuckled. Even as a "professional," I am still up to my same tricks. The next morning, I did deep-water aerobics in the pool and even cold-plunged in the Provo River! I had back-to-back trips coming up that didn't call for a thrown-out BACK!
