Josh is back in England now. He is working hard to finish up! I miss him! I am working days at Drake and nights at the Dance Studio! I am a freaking busy bee. I enjoy teaching dance so much. I love it. I have taught there for so long. My little 6th graders are graduating this year! Josh and I are doing great. I will get to see him in Chicago in November. Vacation together. Lancaster University is flying him back for Psychonomics a conference. So, I took a week off to relax with him there. I cannot wait. We are also trying to plan a trip this summer to Hawaii with our best buds Noah and Denise who live in KC at the moment. I hope that all works out! I miss all my family that are away a bunch. I am so sad I have not gotten to meet Mr. Max yet. He needs his Auntie! Plus, I want to see Joe and Anna become parents! I love you all. Peace out.

I work at Drake….. I deal with Academic and student affairs in CPHS! I love meeting my sister and her children and my mom for lunch! We have a good time.

Our couple friends are finally back! We have enjoyed hanging out with Jeff and Melissa and are very happy they are in Des Moines again! We like to sit around our firepit, play Wii, etc!

We went tailgating with the old gang for the ISU vs Kent game! Lets just say we were tired the next day!

Josh and I moved to Des Moines. We have been fixing up Morton. A lot of painting and cleaning! But it is getting better. We had a house warming party. Also, a grill out for Josh and my birthdays.

We had a blast!

My new found addiction is sushi! My best friend Maranda came back from Cali and a bunch of us got together for sushi!

One of my favorite things to do is to go out dancing with Matt and Shelly! We have a blast. We went dancin’ at the Garden. Josh finally got to come with us! We dance around to Britney Spears and have a freaking awesome time and a wonderful workout.

Josh came home for the best American Holiday! We had friends and family over and celebrated 4th of July in Ames! We had a blast.

9 years ago today I begged my mother to let a boy from Lincoln High School take me to the Mall. She said yes and it sparked a relationship that has lasted 9 years. It has been hard, harder, and full of blessings in which I would never take back! I love you Joshua. Happy Anniversary. And to My family who sat around the table laughing at me when I got a ring for dating a boy for 6 months. IN YOUR FACE! Love ya!

–I am called to an enormous dark room.
Shadowed and reflected. Glittering colors of sunset dancing through stain glass windows. The feel of wood floor. My feet atoned. A beat is played similar to my heart, but the harmony is not recognized by ear. I am here alone.
But not really.
I can rock back and forth. Suspend and release. Listen and mimic through the curve of my line. And the movement of me.
I can embrace the talent. And dance for the angels.
Here
I can feel them watch.–KKDW
