Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!

Today is my parents 31st wedding anniversary!

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad! Thank you for all of your love, support, and generosity! Here's to 30 more!

Me and My Dad

Yesterday was Father's Day! J and I went down to eat lunch with he and my family yesterday. It was great seeing everyone!

I have the world best Dad for many reasons! He has certainly given me a lof of love and support throughout the years! Love you! Happy Father's Day!


Here's a few pictures of me and my Dad!

Dad walking me down the Aisle...






Dad and I at my last dance competition. Need an explanation on this strange outfit? Take a look at the Ballroom Dancing Posts. That's all I can say!

I caught one....three actually!

I've learned that one of the joys of being married is experiencing new things/activities/places, etc! Because there is absolutely no way we could marry our clone, we are bound to be married to someone who will inevitably be different than us...even if it's slight. They may very well have a few different tastes, interests, hobbies, etc., than us. The plus to that is that when they share these things with us, we get to enjoy brand new experiences!

I haven't gone fishing in maybe 20 years. Actually, I'm not even SURE that I even fished. I just remember going with my family at one point in my life.

My husband, J, has loved to fish. In fact, his parents had given him some birthday money for a new fishing pole a week or so ago! We thought it would be a fun activity to do together, so we went and got all the supplies this weekend. Yesterday we went and had a great time! J was a very helpful teacher! I ended up catching three. However, they were tiny guys so we let them go back in the lake. Even though we got rained on halfway through the trip, we both agreed this was one of our most favorite weekends!

Here's one of my tiny catches!=)

Because I'm feeling that way...

I've had way more sinus trouble than usual this year. I'm looking into some additional ways to build up my immune system. On top of the suggestions below, I will be looking at purchasing Oil or Oregano as well. I've gotten a lot of suggestions regarding taking that supplement.

Here's a link I thought I'd share on strengthening your immune system:

Ballroom/Latin Dancing Styles

So, I think there are a lot of people who don't know the differences between the different styles of dancing in the Latin/Ballroom world.

My husband is a professional dance instructor so he knows/teaches all the styles. However, he competes professionally in American Smooth. I began studying the American styles, but now I study, compete Pro/Am in (and obsess in!!) International Latin!

Below is a listing of all the dances in each style along with a video example(s):

American Smooth (J, my husband's style):

• Waltz
• Tango
• Foxtrot
• Viennese Waltz

American Rhythm:

• Cha Cha
• Rumba
• Mambo
• Bolero
• Swing

International Standard:

• International Waltz
• International Quickstep
• International Tango
• International Foxtrot
• International Viennese Waltz

International Latin: (My LOVE!)

• International Cha Cha
• International Rumba
• Samba
• Paso Doble
• Jive
