Day two of dance was so unbearably long. We got there at 10:30 in the morning and Christina’s performance was at 12:30. Awards weren’t until 4:30, and they lasted an hour, so we were there for seven hours. I was good until about 3:15 or so, and then the walls started to crush me. Christina did ok – her dance came in third out of five in the category. It was a tough weekend with a lot of very good dancers to go up against. But the studio did win the sportsmanship award for the weekend, which in my opinion is worth more than any other of the awards they could get. Christina seemed in good spirits, so that’s what matters to me.

Christina had day one of a dance competition today. She did ok. Her junior team dance won third place out of five, but her intermediate team dance didn’t even place. Billy and I were really surprised because the dance looked great to me. I didn’t see any obvious issues with it that should have kept them from even an honorable mention. Christina said she knew it wasn’t a good performance, so I guess that makes it a little better. It would be worse if she thought she nailed it and still didn’t place. We went out for dinner at the Local, which was a new place to us. I went once for brunch with a friend from church, but not for dinner. It seemed pretty good – nice to try something different. Christina has another performance tomorrow, which will be a very long day. They perform at 12:30, so we have to be there at 10:30, and awards are not until 4:30. Today’s awards session was almost an hour long, which makes Christina’s lack of placing even worse, because when they give out so many awards that it takes an hour to do it and you STILL don’t win anything… just damn. I hope tomorrow is better.
