My W and I had an excellent time at the dance convention. It served as a weekend getaway for us, and was refreshing. She was brimming with positive emotion on the way home. She enjoyed the connections we had made, the time away from her problems, and the chance to rest. We were able to nogotiate a deep discount for a hotel room, so there was little financial stress about the trip. She bought some jewelry while she was there, and seems happy with it. She took the money out of her personal account.
She continues to be ambivalent about the dance competition in January. Her concern is paying for it, and continueing to pay for dance lessons. I'm guessing it will cost around $750. I''m going to continue to advocate that we can find a way to do 2-3 dance competitions per year, as long as they are local, and we buy tickets peicemeal, instead of entire packages. I want to do these becasue of the excitement I have for preparing for and eventually performing in them. It's unusual for me to want something of this magnitude. This is important to me, so would like her to problem-solve with me on how to fit it into our lives. Is she were still unemployed, I would back out, but since she's working, I think we can do this.
