Reasons I love Colin:

- He and I have lots of discussions about folklore.  About things like the general misuse of the term 'authentic' and ideas about tradition.  (Just don't say authentic around me.  It makes me gag a little.)

- He sometimes talks in his sleep, but more often laughs.  Last night, he was laughing. :)

- He is competitive in games.  It makes things interesting.

- We read scriptures together every night.

- He is so handsome.

- He does the dishes all the time. 

- He hates baking.

- He wants me to be happy.  So whatever we end up doing in life, I know I will be happy with Colin.

Appalachian Clogging #2

Still working on this paper.  It's true.  It is currently sitting at 49 double spaced pages.  And I'm not done yet... There is just so much to write about!!

Including this group from Prague--



Introducing Caramella Cloggers!  I met a dancer while I was there this summer and talked with her about her TEN years dancing with this team.  I also have been emailing back and forth with the director for months now.  (I may or may not blog more about their awesome story later...)

I. Love. Them.  Favorite moments of this video-- anytime the guy with the ponytail gets dancing.  He is fantastic. 

(They also have other videos on Youtube.  Check them out.  Now.)
