Lookin Cute for tryouts!
This has been quite an exciting March, Alexia made Copperhills Drill team! I don't know who is more excited me or her! Probably her, but I know what is coming and I can't wait to see her perform and see her be part of a team that is so disciplined and dedicated. They only took 6 new members and a lot of girls tried out. She even did it all with a broken toe. She had a great testimony experience of Fathers blessing to add; She hadn't been able to dance at all on her foot for about 2 weeks, and we didn't know how she could possibly tryout. She asked for a fathers blessing the night before and told us that she just kept praying during the tryout that it wouldn't hurt her, and every time it was her turn she couldn't feel any pain as she leaped, turned and did all kinds of crazy things on it. Call it adrenaline, but I truly believe we have a loving Heavenly Father that knows all of our desires and wants us to be happy, and she was truly blessed! Some people might not think that trying out for drill team is that big a deal, but when you have taken dance since you were 3 years old and had that goal for many years, it is! The next day her whole foot was really swollen! She had to sit out her first competition with Hip dance on Saturday and we hope it will be better by her next one and before first 5:00am drill practice in three weeks. Did I say 5:00 AM? YES I did!
