Another week is in the books! This one was quite long and eventful for me, but I am thankful for all the blessings nonetheless.

There are some fun activities on the agenda for tonight! Company is going into the city for a class at the Alvin Ailey Studios, dinner, and an Alvin Ailey show! The AA company is probably my all-time favorite. Their athleticism, grace, and joy makes me swoon every time I watch them. If you ever come to NYC and are looking for an amazing dance show, go see Alvin Ailey!!!
