Brat Trot

After the Brat Trot... And Candy's many photo attempts. Cesar thinks he can beat my time. The bet is on.

Dance, Dance, Dance All Night Long

I've always toyed with the idea of ballroom dancing lessons so when I found adult dance lessons at the Lawrence Arts Center I jumped on the idea and immediately signed up... without telling Cesar. Our lessons started Thursday night and I told him about them on Wednesday night. He had no way out. After an hour of pretending he wasn't interested he finally said, "You know, I took dance lessons when I was a kid. I'll probably be better than you."

Our lessons are every Thursday evening for an hour. We started with the Foxtrot and we'll eventually learn to Waltz, Salsa and Swing dance.

I don't imagine we'll get a call from American Best Dance Crew anytime soon. Between us we've got four left feet, no patience and a whole lot of sweating. Come on now, I quit dancing as a child after one season and Cesar's only claim to fame is his time in the court of honor at a quiñceanera.

In all honesty, we're enjoying it and we can't wait to become professionals!

First Time's a Charm

I always told myself that I wasn’t interesting enough to have a blog. 

I still believe that, but once Cesar mentioned the possibility of moving to Los Angeles, I made a mental note; if that ever happened, I would start a blog to keep close contact with my friends and family I left in Kansas.

Then I started thinking, what about Cesar’s family in California now? In addition, my family in Manhattan and even Australia? A blog sure couldn’t hurt anything!

So here it is. 

I’m going to try my hardest to keep this blog about Cesar and I, instead of just myself. I promise I’ll try.

I want to make it easy for friends and family to keep up with us… in between visits. More so, I want everyone to leave comments, even if they don’t pertain to the blog post. We want to hear about our family and friends’ daily lives. We want you to visit the blog to talk about yourself, also.
