I Could *TOTALLY* Salsa to This!


Well - Milo pulled of a HUGE surprise for my birthday! Last night, he blindfolded me, took me to a nearby parking lot where he succeeded in making my stomach sick by doing MANY donuts in order to disorient me. . . we ended up at the girls' ballet studio where a few of our good friends were waiting. We walked in, and there was Brandon (a super dancer from the studio) and a super cute girl (I WISH I could remember her name. . . Angela?) waiting to give us private Salsa lessons! It was the best gift he could have given me. I've been begging for him to dance with me, pretty much since we got married! (Hopefully this is the start of something great!) I had a blast learning the salsa, swinging my hips and pretending I was rehearsing for "Dancing with the Stars"! Milo was a trooper, as was everyone else!

After the dancing, we headed to a restaurant and enjoyed the night outside - it became a joke as we heard the band singing, we all became a little arrogant, saying 'I could *totally* salsa to this!'
I hope that the salsa dancing will continue!

Leaving our house - I was blindfolded! Notice my new bling-y ring that Megan gave me for my birthday!!!


Here's a horrible picture - but it shows how much fun Milo and I were having!


Jared, having fun dancing with Peggy!

Mary's hair flying as Kendall dips her!

Josh and Shauna - making the salsa super sexy!

Our fantastic teachers!

And here we all are - a very memorable night!! Milo - you done good!!!

I'm SOOOO jealous. Tadj and I haven't gone dancing together since we were dating. It used to be key in our relationship. We'll have to try that sometime.

Proud to be a Detroiter?

I saw my friend, Tia's blog tonight and just had to say *something*. I'd been biting my proverbial tongue the last couple of days. There really HAS been more violence lately, it seems. It's like there was a tidal wave that began a while ago, and it's just gaining momentum and leaving a mess in it's wake. This article, while it had me giggling with the comparison of the two mayors with the first & last paragraphs, leaves me quite cold. I do hope that someday we will see an amazing turn around. This city has such an amazing history, and has the potential to once again be a great place. . . I've been wanting to share this video of a commercial that's been playing here. It gives me chills. There really are so many wonderful things about Detroit. . .. We just have to sometimes sift through the sand to find the treasures. . . Click here to watch the commercial. And the Forbes article: America's Most Dangerous Cities Zack O'Malley Greenbu...

The Revealing!

  The Problem:   Tight financial situation. . . too many places our money needs to go! The Challenge:   To not spend any money on school clothes for the girls. . . Use fabric that I already have, clothes I already have, etc. The Result:  A *LOT* of fun!  The girls loved being able to be a part of the designing and making process.  I had fun knowing that I've hardly spent anything, yet the girls have a few fun new outfits for school!   Total Spent:  Less than $15.  This includes the new t-shirts with a couple of the skirts I made, a cute piece of fabric I have yet to use, and some elastic!  Everything else came from our own house! Vivien's First Outfit:   Her skirt is made from an old pair of blue cords that ALL four girls wore.  Vivs wore them last winter, and they were going in the goodwill box until I saw an idea online to make old jeans into skirts. . . this is what I came up with.  The material I bought when I was pregnant with Lillian!!  It was planned to be a nighty. . ....

Bye Bye Miss American Pie. . .

Here's the update I've been dreading to write. . . we got official word today that we need to be out of the country in less than 3 weeks. Our heads are reeling what that means in terms of when we can come back, what to do with our house, cars, etc, in the meantime. We've been doing our best trying to plan for the future in spite of all of this. Vivien's ready for Kindergarten here, Madison's found an *amazing* middle school. We are planning. . . "If you build it, they will come." So, if we 'build' our future, will we see it happen that way? We sure hope so. I cannot express enough gratitude for all of the letters that were written on our behalf. Those have buoyed us up during this time, learning how we've touched the lives of people we really value, and who've touched us as well. Thank you for taking time out of your own daily struggles and busy schedules to support us in this way. We've been told, by the liaison that we're ...
