Kara was in the play the "12 Dancing Princesses". Her middle school does one musical once a year and this year they did the 12 dancing princesses. Over 300 hundred students tried out. The director had a tough job picking parts so Kara knew that being a 7th grader meant that the 8th and 9th grader would get most of the parts. She still was very optimistic and held hope. There was 12 main roles for the princesses and all of the princesses went to 8 and 9th grade girls except for 1 princess which was her friend and then the next main roles were the 12 ladies in waiting and most of them went to 8 grade girls except for 3 seventh grade girls and one of them happened to be Kara. She was thrilled and she did an amazing job!
There was 198 students involved in the play and they did such a great job. It was fun to also be involved in the play behind the scenes because the youth were so excited to be a part of it. There costumes were so colorful and they had worked so hard!

I had lunch with two of my girls friends from high school and one of their daughters. Heidi and I were in the same ward since we were in 1st grade and we grew up right up the street from one another. Melanie and I were in the same class together starting in 2nd grade and shared the same teachers a lot. She joined our ward, the Federal 1st ward when Heidi and I were moved to the Federal Way Stake from the Renton Stake and Melanie was moved into our ward. It was pretty remarkable how they formed our ward then. But when they did we had around 10 to 12 active girls in our age group. We had so much fun growing up together as young women and we were all very close. One of those young women became my sister in law, Annette Anderson,now Mackey. I hung out a lot with her too so that was pretty sweet to have her in the family now!
