Dancing and Babies

I know it's kind of strange for me to post so close together...I've been more selective about what I blog about this time around. I guess I just want to write about the important  things instead of any of my random thoughts like I have on my other blogs in the past. But today it's sunny and for once I just feel like sitting inside. My feet hurt since I worked from 11 to 4, and I'm going Swing Dancing at two different places tonight (ouchie feet!). Thus I am trying to give my poor feeties a little brake before I go galivanting off.

Ok, so for anyone that might be reading my blog who I don't know or don't know very well...if you haven't gone swing dancing before, YOU SHOULD. It is SO much fun! The most fun swing dancing I've ever had is swinging with my kindred spirit, Laurel, as my partner. Haha. I know that sounds pretty bizarre, but she is fantastic at swing dancing. She knows the boys part and the girls part...because our "group" that goes out is usually very short on guys. She and her friend Amanda are really good at the boy part and I usually just dance with them when I go to the Wabasha Caves with that group of friends.

ONE time I went swing dancing with my bff and her then fiance (now husband) Phil, and HE is also an amazing swing dancer. She and I "shared" him as a dance partner that night, and it was super fun. I got to know his certain style of dancing really well and it was a fun and easy time. He basically just whipped me around, but I loved it. Haha. Obviously I had a part in that crazy-moving dancing. Anyways... tonight I'm going dancing with my friend Laurel at the Wabasha Caves in St. Paul, MN and THEN going to The Tapestry in Minneapolis. One is from 7pm to 10pm and one is from 10pm to midnight or one(am) I can't remember. I'm going to The Tapestry with Lauren, Phil (husband and wife) AND my bf. I'm excited for Phil to teach Jake how to dance the way he does so I can dance with Jake like I once danced with Phil!

That was a looong speil, but like I said... if you haven't gone swing dancing...doooo iiiit. I recommend The Tapestry for beginners cause it's bigger and colder...thus better for practicing. But GO EARLY... it get's busy and crowded. The Caves is great because they have live bands, but it is VERY small and crowded and HOT (Jake says this is because of the limestone. He doesn't like it there 'cause he gets overly-hot way too easy).

One last thing:

Dennis =]

This is my friend's baby. He's going to be 2 months next week. I'm in her wedding on the 18th of this month...and I'm in love with her baby! He's the sweetest thing, and makes very entertaining facial expressions/body movements. According to his mom I'm his "favorite animal at the zoo" AND "his favorite pillow" haha. He makes me want one. Not really, but ya know. I'm living vicariously through my friend. Haha.

(yes... I took a picture of  myself WHILE I was holding a baby. Don't worry about it =P)
