Wish you could 'a been here to see me in all my glory.
Love,
Maryn

Here is Maryn premiering her Latin Medley that she'll be performing in a few weeks at the Nationals thing at BYU.
Here are my feelings as I watch her perform:
Since Maryn was born she has wanted to wear make-up, wear panty hose, wear a bra, wear high heels, be dressed up fancy, wear tons of hairspray. She has been a dancer, a mover and an actress. Seven months ago she began ballroom dancing and now she gets to do all of those things legally. I have now resigned myself to allowing her to do all of these things that I have fought her whole life. It's a controlled environment, it's appropriate and she is so happy. She loves it! She gets to get all fancied up to do her little show... she gets her needs meet and then she gets to take it all off to be normal.
It's a win-win for everyone.
Watch this a couple of times. This was an event with the theme of the 20's. Everyone came dressed up in the best costumes. I want to be a Flapper girl this Halloween.

I am usually totally content and at peace with having all boys. But this is one of the first times I have been devastated to not have a girl. That was so thrilling to watch! And I can't imagine what it must feel like to have that amazing talented girl be your own daughter!
She is so, so good. She is such a natural dancer and so graceful. What a future she has! (Also, I still have pictures of her when she is a baby and there is one of us napping together. Let her know I want front row seats to "Dancing With the Stars" someday.)
Also, can I please live my life over again and be a ballroom dancer? It's a shame we only go through this life once, because I never even knew ballroom dance was an option back when my body was capable of moving like that.
