Jak, Lanzo, and Piecing Friends, I finished a busy weekend.
I was invited to my W's private dance lesson, and ended-up having it turn into my lesson. I will take three lessons, and then join my W for the Beginner 2 West Coast Swing class in September.
My W was impressed by the comments the teacher made about me. She seems to think that he's impressed with me. I wouldn't know. I'm focusing on developing new skills.
We attended a different dance venue that focused on the new dance we're trying to learn. I was intimidated and danced very little. My W was so concerned, she recruited a lady friend to dance with me. How embarrassing!
I have a good feeling about the WCS community. It's closer to our age. The people want to get good, but there seems to be less ego involved than the salsa community. The people seem more down-to-earth, even the advanced dancers. I know people aren't perfect, but I have a good first impression. I think there's going to be more opportunity for connection for my W and I.
We went out again last night, and I got back on-track. I just need to practice this new dance and master the basic skills. I will be fine.
I got an email this morning about this weekend. My W is thrilled to have a dance partner, and is proud of my progress and efforts. She signed the email , with love.
We met with the financial planner last week. We put together a plan to pay down debt. Other than that, we're on target for retirement. My W invested her windfall, which is wise. It feels good to have someone help us with this part of our lives.
