I love the internet!

Well, because Walter and I are already taping two shows on our DVR on Monday nights, I haven't been able to watch "Dancing with the Stars." :( BUT, then I realized yesterday, I CAN WATCH THE EPISODES ONLINE!!! I am so excited!! Seriously, the internet is awesome! (Can you tell that I'm a little bit addicted to DWTS?)

This past Friday night, some of my friends and I went to the "So You Think You Can Dance" Tour concert. Umm...AWESOME! I didn't really watch the show until this past season (and only on and off). It was so much fun.

Back to DWTS...that is connected because Lacey (the professional with Lance Bass) is a former finalist on "So You Think You Can Dance." The judges got on her this past week for showboating her skills too much and not helping Lance to shine. I'm with them. Lacey says that the judges are just hard on her because she is new, but they have never done this to the other new pro dancers. Gotta be honest, I don't know her, but so far she has come off a little bit cocky, as though she knows more than the judges. In many of the dances, she hasn't followed the rules...even though Lance isn't a great dancer, she isn't really helping him become a better one. As Len eloquently put it: "The show is called 'Dancing with the Stars' not 'Dancing around the Stars." Maybe she's just really insecure and feels like she needs to prove herself.

Hi Dana, I have been catching up reading blogs that I haven't looked at for a long time. I enjoyed yours since I am a big DWTS fan too! And when your parents were visiting, we learned all about your pet woes! Hope things are better! We are praying for Walter's job situation too.
Love, Aunt Darian

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it ...

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.

You asked for it, you got it!

Per Amanda's request...my "Dancing With the Stars" update. After this first week, here is my opinion. Brooke Burke is by far the best dancer and the most natural of anyone -- plus, she's really sweet. I love how she danced with her baby. :) I think Toni Braxton does a great job as well. I don't really care for Kim K. and think she should have been voted off yesterday. I mean, come on, she's not a good dancer. I don't think she'll go far. Ted McKinley wasn't great, but he shouldn't have gone off yet. He actually did better than some other people. Okay, gotta admit people, I know that everyone enjoys watching an 82-year-old Cloris Leachman "dance," but she isn't any good. Yes, there is some grace shown toward her because of her age, but it's a bummer to watch other people who are better get voted off simply to keep watching her. (On a side note, I think it's so cool that Mark's dad, Corky, is another one of the professio...
