Bilbray Drill Team's newest member

Funny how things happen. One Saturday, I was stressing over which dance classes to put Haylee in. She only does dance one day a week at her dance studio. She has done this since she was 4. She is getting much better, and wanted to try out for the "drill team" at her dance studio. My stress was coming from the fact that it is 3 days a week if she makes it, and that means a whole lot more money and time spent driving to the studio (which is not very close).
Fast forward to Monday, two days later. Haylee comes home from school with a paper that has info on the Drill Team at school. If she makes it, it would be 2 days a week, right after school for practice. She would practice during the summer, and then all next year. They perform at the basketball games, assemblies, etc.. It would have her very involoved at school, plus she could stay at the dance studio one day a week. It was an answer to our prayers of what to do.. but almost seemed to good to be true (I know I know, Oh ye of little faith:)

She went to tryouts. There were two weeks of practice before the official day of tryout. There were 45 girls there. They only have 20 spots on the team, and 11 girls were returning from last year. That only left 9 spots for the entire school. I was a little nervous with those stats. But, Haylee was determined. She practiced hard for those two weeks, and prayed hard that she would make it. Her faith and determination payed off, when she opened her letter to find out she had made it.

We are all so proud of her. 4 years of dance has proved to pay off so far. She is great at what she does, and most importantly, she loves it!
