November 29, 2008 - Nutcracker Opening Night




A very proud moment for me as I watched my daughter, Journey grace the stage of Ballet West's The Nutcracker, For the first time in six years, the mention of dance didn't send a dreadful feeling up my spine and into the usual mind numbing headache. Tonight there was no drama, no competition between dance moms and my daughter wasn't wearing enough makeup to paint the house several times over. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire production. The symphony, the sets, the vivid costumes and characters were all incredible. I have never been to the ballet in my life and probably never would have had it not been for Journey's role in it all. We were happy to have friends and family there who enjoyed it just as much as we did. - Daddy

Hi it's Angela Birt, I found you on Jodi's blog. I had to read this since it is a tradition for Diane Birt to take us girls to the Nutcracker every year. I didn't go this year but Tierra did and I saw Journey's name on the program, I didn't put it together at the time but it caught my eye because I love that name. How exciting!
