+<p>
+	Not all of my posts are huge, and they probably shouldn't be. Amy and I
+	had a really great time yesterday at Two Left Feet Dance Studio,
+	learning more about how to dance the Carolina Shag in preparation for
+	our wedding (which is in less than 20 days)! An enormous swing band is
+	going to play all of our favorites from the brass band/swing era, and
+	one of the easiest dances to do to that music is the Shag. I wrote a
+	paper on the Shag a few years ago for school but never actually learned
+	how to do it. The steps are simple for us to remember and it's easy
+	enough to add flair or mix it up so we look like we know what we're
+	doing during our first dance.

+	We also got out to see the new Lion King remake and I can honestly say
+	it was worth it. If anyone's a Lion King purist, it's Amy. It's easily
+	been her favorite movie since she was a toddler, and to see it
+	tastefully redone almost 25 years after it was first released was
+	thoroughly enjoyable. There were minor alterations to literal sentences
+	in the script that all added some context to things that were always
+	kind of assumed in the original (clarification on Scar's backstory,
+	etc.). I did however feel like they were trying to throw Beyonce lines
+	the way a middle-schooler tries to turn a 500-word paper into a 700-word
+	paper. Regardless, it's definitely re-living the classic, not re-hashing
+	it.
