So, I took my first Zumba class on last week. I didn't even want to go to the gym, but Mike really encouraged me to get off the couch...so I went. And I'm so glad I did! I went to turbo kick a few days later. And then another Zumba class today. These two classes were way harder than my first zumba class. In fact, they made my first Zumba class look like kind of a joke. In turbo kick, we had to do crunches at the end. My abs HURT. I don't like crunches. Friends have been telling me that the Zumba classes that the gym that we joined aren't that great. In fact, that they suck. But, I've never done Zumba before, so I couldn't tell if it sucked or not. All I know is that: 1) working out is terrible, borring, miserable. Basically, every thing that Alex says about having to have a 1-hour study time is how I would describe working out--particularly running. 2) dancing is the opposite. Dancing is FUN and energizing and puts a smile on my face. I love to dance. ...

Oh the things that Disney teaches young girls.

I didn't send in this postcard...but this secret is so me! Especially because I sneeze four times in a row!

I know not everyone can make it over to my photoblog, so I thought I'd start giving you a weekly recap! (Clicking on each photo will take you to the original post. Sunday, I posted this photo of a friend's engagement ring. Monday, I changed the layout of my blog so I could post more than one photo at a time. Then, I included the rest of the photos from the shoot that included Sunday's picture. Had a lot of fun taking pictures of Ron & Prudence who are getting married soon. Tuesday, I posted a lot of photos from my parents' house, a.k.a. the Heuser family farm. Thursday, I posted photos from a wedding I went to last week. I know Bonnie from church and swing dancing. And, since she and Jason met swing dancing, they were kind enough to invite all of us dancers to the wedding to dance the night away. :) Most of the photos, however, are not of the lindy hoppers, but of the newlyweds. Saturday night, I shot this photo while downtown with Caleb and Anne Ma...

We're having a house warming party coming up soon. If you life in my area, then send me an email for the details! (Thanks to Anne Marie for these pictures!)

Yes, I has seriously been ages since I've posted. And no, that's not an exaggeration at all. It's been over a week and it FEELS like ages. So, let me fill you in on what I've been preoccupied with... re-potty training Bella photography my photoblog (I've been cheating pretty heavily on you...I'm sorry!) people I'll start with the last one, shall I? Yes, people. I've been social lately. Lunch dates with family. Twilight party. Art show. Family dinners. 4th of July. And going to see Twilight. Instead of telling you all the boring details...I'll show you in pictures. Leo & Stargirl lunching at Handi, an Indian restaurant (with me, Mom, and Mike). Mom and Stargirl at my place. After which Stargirl and I rocked it out on Guitar Hero 5. Twilight party at Amanda's! We drank wine from the Twilight Ball and meant to watch the first two movies. But we ended up playing Twilight Scene It! instead. At Jessica Libor's art sho...
