Hi Laura,
Would it not be great to meet you at the nationals!!!... We wont be going this year... We just about used up all our vacation time traveling to regionals.... And then of course our annual visit to Aruba(non dance)...

Perhaps next year... Frankly, the nationals scares us.... We are just now to the point of being called back for finals at the regionals, and that took a few years!!.....

It really is a whole other world dancing USABDA, than say NDCA.. It requires different training to dance on a floor with say 20 others, as opposed to 5 or 6.... Yet, now most of the comps we do are USABDA, as even if we score less than desirable, we like the competiton and incentive to improve...

Nick is doing pretty good... I initially was quite concerened for his physical condition, and thought we should stop dancing.... Nick on the other hand said OK, I have to put an icepack on my leg after a comp, but that is better than giving up something that is so much a part of our lives... I said OK!!...

The boys came to the comp.... It was great fun having them there.... Danny immedialtey got into the whole cheering thing..... Hey, I felt like the Chinese version of "Shall we dance"... As we danced I could hear him yelling, go Mom.... Great week-end!!
