The entry in which I get to be a bit egotistical ;)
Yesterday was, more than not, a good day. :)
Well, work was OK, but I don't want to TALK about work. I want to talk about Dancing. :)
For the new people to this journal, my wife and I started taking ballroom dancing classes through Arthur Murray a little over a year ago. We started doing it so that we could both do a little actual dancing for our wedding last year and stayed because we enjoy it greatly.
This past weekend, we took place in a dance competition, Freestyles. In short, we dance with a group of people in our level and judge us on.. well, everything. How good our steps look, styling, and whether or not we look like we're enjoying ourselves. This was our second Freestyles and by and large, we felt we'd done better than we had the first time.
Having gotten the results, I know we have. :D The results are as follows... in the Club Swing (soon to be hustle), I got a Gold Medal, first place of the six or seven who danced at the same time I did! And K and I got the Gold for our Open Waltz Routine. :D For the Cha-Cha, I got a Silver Medal, second place among the six or seven who danced with us. :D and K and I got Silver in our Waltz too. The rest are Bronze which doesn't mean we did a bad job, so much as someoen else did a better. :) I can deal with that. :D Especially the two Golds. :D
I'd half-joked that I LIKED the fast dances but was GOOD at the Slow Dances. Well... that's not ENTIRELY correct. :) Still struggling a bit with keeping my legs bending correctly with Swing, but clearly.. I'm just good. ;)
OK.. that was the egotistical part of the post. You may continue on now ;)
Anyways... not much else to say. Tomorrow, we head to Buffalo. Hopefully to see friends and family and then we're back in DC Monday night.
