Another Great Feis Weekend!

Saturday, June 5 in Hamburg, NY at the Buffalo Feis

Hannah and her friend Amber

 Look at all those Medals!

Great job, Hannah Marie!

We spent this past weekend in Buffalo, NY for the Buffalo Feis.  We were nervous about this feis, because Hannah would be competing against many of her Irish Dance School classmates.  It was fun to see so many Rince Na Tiarna dresses, the other feis we have attended have had very few girls from our school.

Hannah danced in 5 dances, and you can tell from the picture, she placed in 4.  Here were the results:

2nd in the Reel

1st in the Slip Jig

1st in the Hop Jig

4th in the Light Jig

6th in the Treble Jig (this was her first time competing in this dance and she got 6th out of 21, we were very proud of her!)

We decided to spend the night in Buffalo, since Hannah had her last dance class on Sunday morning.  We met up with a family whose father has CF and had a transplant in Cleveland almost 7 months ago.  Bill's wife, Deborah, found my blog before they listed, and we have been keeping in touch via e-mail.  They have a 10 year old daughter, Mikaela, so we have a lot in common.  We met them for dinner and it was so nice to finally get to talk face to face and share our stories.  Bill is doing great and was a pleasure to talk to.  I had been communicating with his wife Deborah for all these months. 

What a blessing this blog has been for me, I can't tell you the amazing and wonderful friends I have made through it.  Please pray that Bill continues to improve.  He has been struggling with some mild rejection like I did, so please send up some prayers for him and his wonderful family!  We are hoping to have them down in July for a visit so they can do some blueberry picking, I can't wait!

So, as you can tell, it was a wonderful weekend!  Praise the Lord!
