Celebrating a 40th birthday

Yes, went to Chicago the first week of November to celebrate Jazzercise's 4oth birthday with the queen herself (Judy Sheppard Missett, who founded Jazzercise in Chicago) - ha, bet you thought I looked really good for my age, huh?! Well, I do.

Anyway, me and some fellow instructors went to the windy city on a Friday, had lunch, went shopping, then had some fun at the House of Blues, and stayed out way too late for people who knew they'd be working out for 3 hours straight the next day. But we had a great time. Got to work out with Ms. Judy and some of the main instructors from California. Later that evening, they had the Chicago Museum of Art closed off for a private reception for us. Very very cool. We all came back super energized.

Now, let me rewind since it's been a while since I wrote: HALLOWEEN - did I tell you what we did where I teach? My friend Kandace and I alternated teaching all the songs in the class, and for just about every song we had a different outfit. Granted, sometimes said outfit, consisted of a hat or a glove, but still, it took some creative thinking! The students just loved it and looked like they had a lot of fun.
