St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope everyone remembered to wear their green! Well I got the day off of work so I got to stay home! Yeah! But I also had a surprise today! I found out that I was married to a Leprechaun!

Okay maybe not a leprechaun but maybe a dwarf or something along that line!

Let me explain these pictures! Our aptartment has a retarded heater! It only works about 5% of the time! It turns on and off when it wants. We are sitting here freezing and I turn to look at Travis and this is how he was sitting. You are always taught that you lose most of your heat through your head so he had his head covered. But with his hoody over his ears it was making it harder to hear the TV so he pushed it behind his ears. And yep I had to take the picture of him. Its a good thing he doesn't look at my blog or he would probably not be happy that I put these on here! Oh well, it is sure funny! My husband the leprechaun! (Dwarf, elf, etc.)

BYU Dancesport

Biggest Ballroom Competition in Utah

For those of you that don't know much about ballroom except for watching it on "Dancing with the stars", it's a real competitive sport. There is a few dancers on "Dancing with the stars" that are from Utah! But every year in March BYU has their big competition where people from all over come and compete! When I say all over I mean all over the world. During this time of the year it can be bring about bad moods, anxious moms, and sick stomachs! But it also brings cheering and big smiles! Our family has not competed in this competition for a few years so Joel took it upon himself to take a class at BYU that has their ballroom students compete in this!

Joel was competing in the Bronze 180 (Cha Cha)! In this category there was 188 couples! So there was 376 people on the floor in this picutre. There weren't competing at this moment they were trying to show how hard this competition was and how many people were signed up to compete! That's right Joel had to compete against all of these people!

The way they judge this, since most of them its their first competition and probably their first dance class, is if they can stay on rhythm and if they do the steps correct. Seems easy right! Well its a bit harder than that! I took pictures of Joel and his partner, Whitney, doing some of the dance moves.

This move is called the chase. Well at least we know he is being chased by at least one girl! He he he! I couldn't help it I had to say that!

This is the sweetheart!

This is the butterfly!

The competition was a blast and Joel made it to the final twelve! Congratulations! Remember I said there was 188 couples! Great job Joel!!!
