Mitchell Family: Homecoming Parade

Homecoming Parade

I am part of the Folk Dance Ensemble at BYU this semester and had the priviledge of dancing during the Homecoming Parade this weekend! Our team did a choreography to Cotton Eyed Joe and an Indian/Bollywood/Bhangara dance that was performed by all 5 teams together. The route was a little less than 2 miles and we danced the entire time! I was exhausted by the end, but I love to perform so I enjoyed every minute of it. The crowd loved it and I had strangers telling me we were the best part of the parade! This was the first time I'd actually gone to BYU's Homecoming Parade and had a blast being in it! Today my legs and feet are a bit sore, but it was definitely worth it. Thanks Jeff for sitting in the cold and taking pictures! (I am in the team wearing red... in the back corner)

About Us...

Jeff and I met in Provo, UT on May 1, 2006 playing volleyball on Stadium Terrace’s humble sand volleyball court. A few weeks later we started dating and now we’ve been married for 5 years! We both graduated from BYU in April 2009 and moved to Denver shortly thereafter. We have an adorable, talkative, three-year-old boy, Austin, who keeps us entertained and loving life. Jeff finished graduate school at the University of Denver in 2010 and started a job as an auditor with the public accounting firm McGladrey in November 2010. I have the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom and am so grateful that I am able to be with Austin all day.
