Naki is the sweetest. He knew that I was seconds away from losing my mind and that I desperately needed some time away from a cute but seriously time consuming 6 month baby girl. So he arranged for Line, Malia, and I to attend the most fun thing ever! He found out that BYU was hosting this years United States National Amateur DanceSport Championships. Ballroom! Now, we've never danced ballroom and neither have our girls . . . yet. That's a yet for ALL of us. Naki and I will some day be taking lessons. Mark my words. And we'll be dang good, too! But since we're such huge Dancing With the Stars fans, he thought that the big girls and I would really appreciate watching it. It was such a blast.
After watching them for a while you start to take for granted just how fast they're able to move their feet. They were incredible. They would compete in heats, starting with all the couples in the first heat. Then they would only bring 24 back, then 12 back, and then the final 6. We had such fun picking our favorite couple in each heat, and then watching to see if they made it through the cuts on to the next heat. Both girls really liked this particular girl, and were taking pictures of her.
We were amazed how much energy everyone there had. We finally had to leave at 11:15 pm because we were just too tired and they were still going strong! I asked the girls if they would prefer taking this kind of dance lessons or the one their currently in, and they both still prefer to stay in their current classes, but we'll see what the future holds. I don't know, they look pretty good to me, don't ya think?
