That's right, friends. Those of you who know me may know that I'm not a huge country music fan. Well, not really at all. But in preparation for an event with people from the Chilean embassy at Nick's, the local country dancing establishment here in Alexandria, Kendall and I went for a practice run last night. And I have to admit: it was GREAT. I loved the live band--Taylor Made from West Virginia--who sang songs of their own creation, like "Sweet Home Alexandria." I loved watching the most random couples in their cowboy get-up--one woman was outfitted in a crazy red dress like a bar lady. It was great. I loved the women in their cowboy boots and spurs, jangling on the floor, and the men with their western shirts. And I loved swinging around the floor in the two-step. I'd love to learn the West Coast Swing--that looks like a lot of fun times. But only if your partner knows what he's doing and he doesn't swing you off into the middle of the room. Not that that happened, but it's just a bad idea.

Country Dancing in Sweet Home Alexandria

I seriously think you guys should take lessons! I LOVE how much fun you have and how spontaneous and adventuresome this is! WOHOO!
Just noticed your updated movies... I LOVE Miss Potter too! I can't wait to go to England again! Soon??? LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
I am curious to know what attire you were clad in Ms. Reeder?
Oh I had some cute jeans, a plaid fitted shirt that was as country as I could find in my roommate's closet, and some black cowboy boots I borrowed from my cute friend Vanessa who used to fiddle. I was going to wear my cowboy hat from the Marriott Ranch picnic and my bandana, but maybe next time...
