Grapevine to the right

So as most of you know, I've been training to become a step aerobics instructor. Today was my first time leading the class--I was incredibly nervous to the point my hands were shaking. I think I'm pretty good at step...but following is completely different from leading (thinking up the moves and calling them out in sync with the music all while the whole class is watching you). Joycelyn was sweet enough to help me through my nerves this morning (thanks soooo much). I was sorely tempted to practice yesterday...but I just couldn't get myself to break the Sabbath. My reward for being obedient? I got through class this morning (20 minutes worth) with hardly any glitches and my trainer said that she was deeply impressed with how well I did for my first time. She also said that there isn't anything to teach me now and that I should be teaching on my own by next month. :) (I'm doing a victory/happy dance right now). Yay! I don't have to buy another membership next year! I also got a call at 8am this morning from a friend asking me to take over her step class while she endures her third trimester of pregnancy. So it looks like I'll be teaching 2x a week. That should give me plenty of classroom experience to go along with the practice I'm doing at home. I can't begin to describe the immense relief and excitement that's flowing through me right now. It's all coming together!
