So to catch up on blogging, I will need to rewind quite a bit. Typically Sean and I don't really have anything 'blog-worthy' in my opinion. I guess only posting the good stuff is a bit of a misrepresentation of our quiet lives in Utah. So far every weekend in May has been pretty blog worthy.
Allow me to rewind to the first weekend in May...
Sean is challenged (by me) to creatively think of one place to take me out every week. I see things and dream up 'themed' activities for date nights quite a bit. I'm trying to teach Sean (for my benefit) to think of cool places to take me. Although I truthfully LOVE the dollar movie theater...it just doesn't meet the whole point of my challenge: to think. I recently started to complain about our weekly movie date. Then Sean knocked my socks off and taught me to never complain about a movie date again.
How? SALSA DANCING. ahhhhhhh.
Earlier that week Sean asked me what I was hanging up in the house. "Flags!! Don't tell me you forgot cinch de mayo weekend!?!" I LIVE for themes and was ticked he didn't remember.
He quickly got his act together and threw together a themed night.
First, tacos at El Mexiquense. A local hole-in-the-wall that serves tacos exactly like the one's at our wedding. Yummy.
Then onto the dreaded part... Salsa Dancing. I really do love to dance...socially. To hip hop. Salsa is just a different breed of people. It definitely took me out of my comfort zone.
We had a 40 min lesson (we were the ONLY beginners) and then "Club Salsa" warmed up. It was 10:30pm in Salt Lake - when the experts come out. This was their social hour and I felt like I didn't belong in the middle of their play ground.
Sean and I are glad to say we've done it, but have no intention of doing it again. Just not our thing. I think the biggest accomplishment: I haven't begged Sean to take me out since!
