Destination Cheyenne Wyoming!

I know I’m a day late on the big announcement, but last night was busy.  So here it is.
We are picking up from Iowa and moving to Wyoming!  I gave notice at my current job and have accepted a new position with another company in Wyoming.  So this is part of my excuse for not [...]

They arrived!

Our dance shoes arrived yesterday.  After I took off of work early to go and get them because god forbid that the post office be open more than 8:30 to 5 (another frustration of mine with the postal system!).
So we tried them out last night at our dance lesson.  It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t [...]

Dance Geeks!

I know your all tired of hearing about our dancing, but honestly it’s all I’ve got to post right now! So any how we had a private lesson on Monday. It was a bit later, but it was nice because we were the only students there at the end. Afterwards we got to [...]

Live and learn

So there we were on the dance floor getting ready for our first Tango of the night.  Music has started, we’re in position and I lead us out.  My wife informs me that we are off of the beat.  I can’t tell, but I take her word and I stop. There’s people piling up behind [...]

Bourne Ultimatum

We went and saw The Bourne Ultimatum last night.  It was just as good as the first two movies.  As we were walking out some guy said that it was horrible compared to the first 2.  I don’t know what he was talking about but it was good.  Now if it’s compared to the books, [...]

Randomness

 So as I said in my last post we went dancing on Friday night.  The DJ was better than the previous time, just because he knew what music to play for what dance. And his wife is one of the former dance instructors.  I don’t know if I mentioned it on here, but this lady [...]

We survived!

We survived the unveiling of our dance’s on public floors!  It wasn’t our best effort, but it was passable. There were a few instances where my timing was off, but overall I’m pretty pleased with how it went.  We used our rumba, swing and tango, but no foxtrot (although they did play it).  Just a [...]

The Unveiling!

Tonight is the night when we are taking all of our dance lessons public. The dance studio is closed down for 2 weeks, as of today, and we are going out to a local winery that has music and dancing. We are going with another couple from work, and my dad who make his photographic [...]

Now do it backwards!

Monday evening we are at our advanced dance class.  It’s the foxtrot and neither one of us really care for the foxtrot, but we go anyways.
Linda, one of the owners and the instructors of this class, tells us to just do our basic around the room.  The basic is your home base in each dance.  [...]

Sometimes it goes…and other times it doesn’t!

We had our private dance lesson last night.  It sucked.  It was just one of those nights were our feet just didn’t want to work for whatever reason. These nights come and they go.  Hopefully in the end there are more better nights than bad nights.  Quickly afterwards we had a newcomers class for the [...]
