Atrasada!

So I am a little behind on my post.  I will do a quick re-cap on what has happened the last month.
For Valentines, we celebrated it a little on Saturday by going to our stake "Sweet Hearts" dance, we were asked to dance as part of the entertainment, so we decided to dance Polka de Mexico.  For Danny to get into full character when we danced he decided to leave a 3 day grown out mustache, all I have to say to that is ORALE!!!   Then on Monday we spent quality time doing flips onto the love sac (videos below) then we went on a bike ride (the weather was beautiful), played soccer then I cooked a yummy dinner while Danny studied for a test, it ended up being a relaxing night.  When it comes to gifts Im not that hard to shop for because I'm pretty vocal on what I want or like, so I gave Danny many hints that I wanted the thin type of straightener that straighten and curls the hair and that is what I got. So I was happy, Im still trying to figure out how to do my hair like they do in the salons, I got Danny 2 movies that he likes, Wolverine and Traitor and some German gummy bears (because it was after our Germany tour that we were "official").
  Before we left to the party
Packing our vestuario

Danny found a new place to save his gum
We got an amazing deal on beef, 10lbs for $10
We love meat!

I am currently a working wife!  I finally got a job, I work as a receptionist at an Eye Doctors office part time and then I will sub for Special ed instructional aide the days I don't work.  The first couple days at the office were rough, but I feel more comfortable with the work and more welcomed into the office.  I am still trying to look for a teaching job full time, but who knows when one of those will come up, the education budget is getting cut here in SAC, they are cutting a lot of jobs, and there are many angry teachers and students.  Just the other day I was watching the news and it said that UC's students were going on strike and protesting of the higher tuition fees,  now I understand their frustration but some of the stuff they were doing was not that smart!  A group of them were trying to walk onto the I-80 the police had to come and stop them, then they blocked a big intersection north of the campus kind of were Dannys building is located, so I called him to see if he was okay or had heard all the commotion outside.  oh the joys of living in a LIBERAL town.  From what I hear the education system in Davis is one of the best, but there are certain festivals and holidays that are quite unique to this area some of them are; Davis Duck days, Earth day (an excuse to go HIPPY and smoke the MJ and get drunk) Picnic day- which I hear is family oriented but still another excuse to drink, it's funny cause around here they really don't need an excuse to drink!  OH THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE UTAH!!!!
We also found a dancing group in the SAC area, so last Monday we went and sat in on their rehearsal, the group focuses all on Mexican dancing and they are good, some clean and different stepping from what I have seen. We'd like to join,  but we need to see if it is in our budget, they were really nice and welcoming.  We watched them dance at an educational fair and they did dances from Chiapas and Jalisco.  Once i figure out how to upload videos I will upload them dancing La Negra!

  3. hahaha. Even with the mustache Danny still looks WHITE! No one should be allowed to have a mustache. It looks too...molesterish. But I'm glad that you guys are still dancing!
