Where do I start......the day that lasted forever. It is 1:14am in Belfast and we are just wrapping up our day and night. We have been back at the Hotel for a couple of hours now and Macaela is finally asleep in bed.
Incredible is all I can say at this point in regards to our day .... the talent of these young ladies is remarkable.
Macaela danced amazing today, stronger than ever...so strong that she placed overall 50th out of 138 dancers and missed recalling by 2 placings. One judge even place her 11th overall and another placed her 24th overall....this year with a new judging system they through out the highest and lowest marks which unfortunately brought her overall placing down to the 50th spot.
Saying that we are thrilled ! Macaela danced amazing and looked so beautiful. Her new look....dress, hair and crown...was spectacular!
Thank you for all the support, we know how much you were all cheering for Macaela today. Without all your positive thoughts, good luck wishes and constant support this day would not have been possible.
I will leave off quoting Macaela..... "Next year"
Mac, you are amazing and a true inspiration! You look beautiful and are a true ambassador for NPIDA! Way to go and enjoy the rest of your days in Belfast.
