As I danced through time





This past Saturday night, two friends and I participated in "A dance through time", an event held at a local college as a fund raiser for various charities. The entertainment, much like the television show "Dancing with the stars" includes a number of dances performed by a prominent member of the community, such as the mayor, along with their partner, a member of one of the many local dance groups. The audience votes for each person by giving money to whatever charity that person is collecting for, and the person with the most money collected wins. There are also twelve "celebrity" judges who give their scores as well.Along with my two friends, {from l to r}Kara, Julia and I was a volunteer, collecting the judges votes and taking them to the people who would count them and decide a winner, handing out awards to the participants, and aiding the coat checker afterward. I had so much fun, and I got to wear my new Emma dress!!

After the event was over, we got a little carried away......

All in all, it was a enjoyable, long, eventful night, full of running back and forth in uncomfortable shoes and a pretty dress, laughs with friends, and a maxed out camera memory card!!

Yeah, yeah, I know. It's inspirational monday, but that's going to have wait 'till next Monday, after I've had time to find some truly inspiring photos

Listen, all Jane Austen fans!!!!!!


For all you Janeites, I have two wonderful links that will, I am sure, make your day!!!

The first is a Website for an online magazine, called Costume Chronicles, that concentrates on the costumes and other fun details of costume dramas. This month's issue is everything Jane Austen! You MUST check it out. And for those who like the trivia type information about everything, this will be your Jane Austen dream come true, I promise!

The second is, well,I'm not sure how to explain it, but it's super fun, and it's all pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility. It's called Pemberley Pond. It's really great. You should totally check it out!

Happy Friday!

Which Pride and Prejudice Character are you?

I found this quiz on Allison's blog, and thought I would try it and see what I got. I was pretty happy with my results!!! What's even better is that she got Jane Bennet! That just proves that we are sisters, if not in blood, than at least in Christ.


This was a ton of fun, and I think everyone should take this quiz!!
Which Pride and Prejudice Character are you?
Elizabeth Bennet Elizabeth is intelligent, lively, attractive and witty. She does, however, have faults-- chiefly, a tendency to judge on first impressions and believe hear-say.
