Why am I the biggest Klutz?

So, I have another injury.  I sprained my ankle at work on tuesday.  I have an air cast and am on crutches.  I'm supposed to stay off of it until the 18th i think. So i've been bed since tuesday,  bored out of my mind, but I am now reading the last book in the twighlight series.  Unfortunately, my ankle does not feel much better and its more swollen then when it happened.  Today I went out for the 1st time since tuesday for ice cream for small group and it wasn't that fun for my little foot.  I go to the doctor tomorrow to have my ankle looked at again so we will see what she has to say....I'll keep you updated on my progress!!  Oh by the way here are the photo's from the church opening.

whoops

So I cut and pasted the link of the pictures from our opening and it didn't work...So i'll try and figure that out and get back to you

What's new

Well, I am excited to hear I actually have some readers so that means I need to be a better blogger :) So a lot has happened in the last week...All excited things.
1.) I think I have an idea of how my job situation is going to pan out.  I have 3 jobs currently. one is Teaching dance at the studio I have taught at the last few years so nothing new there...Second is teaching gymnastics to 3-5 year olds as well as a couple dance classes....I am not the lead teacher in any of these new classes, but that is fine with me for now. And the last is working at a local bridal salon which i am really excited about...It should be a neat experience and I'm looking forward to be able to go to trunk shows for really cool designers and big fashion shows! So fun...As my friends all know, I am totally obsessed with all things weddings...Not in the sense of the thought of weddings rule my life or the thought of mine that will hopefully happen some day ;)  But I love seeing how each person has such a different idea of how they want to see their day pan out and how people can surprise them selves with being creative.  I Love creativity!  And I love getting to see people be creative...Now, I know that I am only going to be involved in the picking out and brainstorming about the dress...But for a lot of women the vision begins at the dress. You get to visit with them hear them gush about the upcoming event and so on...I am also excited about getting to see someone perparing for one of the most important decisions of their life! Its so cool..Sorry, I just kinda went on a little tangent.
So that is the work thing...
Another thing that I am kinda embarrassed to talk about but I am so hooked...I have started reading the Twilight series...I'm OBsessed I hate to admit...The are so well written it totally sucks you in...My friend's husband says he doesn't get it he says that the books are like crack.  It all started b/c one of my closest friends and I were talking about how I wanted to get back into reading.. I used to really love to read and since the last couple years I just kinda lost the interest so she said that I should read the series she had finished. "they are really good, granted its a love story about a vampire and a girl, its an easy read, I think you would really like it.  So I said ok, i'll try it and see...As she was handing it to me she said Seriously Cam its addicting. Well she was right.  These aren't short books by any means...The 1st one was over 400 pages long I finished it in 2 1/2 days.  I've been sick this week and yesterday I felt so badly I didn't feel like getting out of bed so I started and finished all but one chapter yesterday of the 2nd book...This one was over 500 pages and I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!!!!  I won't be able to dedicate long stretches of time to reading but...geeze I can't wait.  I know silly...I seriously recommend them.  So I love reading again :) Now I need to find a book that is a good read that has some substance...Which I think will be The Shack.  Or at least that is what I am thinking right now.

The best news is that our church after meeting in schools for a little over 10 years finally moved into our church building.  It is amazing God has blessed us I am excited to see what he has in store for us as a community and how we can open our doors the community and love on them.  Here is a link to an amazing photographer who goes to our church who took some pictures of our event. 
ok thats it for now, its late and I'm getting sleepy! Peace out

I HAVE A BLOG!!!!

So, I was discussing with a couple of my friends the idea of blogs and how they are addicting and thought maybe I should start one!  The reason I have decided to start a blog is b/c many of my closest friends are scattered around the US.  So welcome to the Adventure of a Sweet Pear...Hopefully it will be entertaining or at least gives some insight into my day to day life.
