She did it!

Zoe received her email today!
We were so excited and couldn't believe she had made it in! Because of her young age, she was only eligible for 2 of their 6 programs...one in Irvine, Ca. and one in Alabama. Unfortunately, the dates of the Irvine program overlap with school, so that wasn't an option. She was accepted into the ABT 3-week program that is held at the University of Alabama.

She couldn't wait to get to dance to talk to the girls that had auditioned, and share the news with Miss Nicole. Some girls made it in, some were wait-listed, and some didn't make it, but there was lots of screaming, hugging, suport and excitement in the air. While at dance, I had Joe go out and pick up some flowers and an ice cream cake, and make a few signs to celebrate!

It was a fun evening although we were full of mixed emotions...incredibly proud that she had made it in, but also a little sad due to expense of the program and the travel costs involved. Zoe is spending a lot of time in prayer that somehow this can happen! For now, we are just feeling blessed that she is on the right path with her training and know that one of these years, she will be able to attend! Congratulations Zoe!
