Dancing the Shag & Two Left Feet

- 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. -

Finally Found a Drink I Like

- Anyone who knows me even slightly well probably knows that I don't - drink. And it's not out of moral obligation or anything like that. I - just plain can't stand the taste of alcohol. So it's no surprise that my - entire family has been trying to throw different alcoholic beverages in - my direction to see what sticks. -

- -

- But it finally happened! I finally found a drink with alcohol in it. And - not only did I not gag, but I genuinely enjoy it, think it tastes great, - and mix it myself. -

- -

- It's called Blackberry Cream Soda. It's just blackberries, - ginger ale, and spiced rum. It's darn good. And it's going to be the - signature drink at our wedding, whatever that means. All I know is I can - finally order something at a bar and that's cool by me. -

- -

- Behold, Blackberry Cream Soda -

I Married My Best Friend!

- It was an inexplicable mixture of joy and butterflies getting to marry - my best friend. It was truly like a dream come true, so much so that it - drove me to tears multiple times. Now that we're on our honeymoon, it - feels simultaneously like everything and nothing has changed but I think - that's a good thing. -

More to come!

Obligatory COVID-19 Post

- We're alive! All three of us: Amy, Clementine, and myself. We're doing - what we do best and that is being hermits with zero social contact. - That's pretty okay by us though because it lets us slow down from all - the fast-paced life changes we've made in the past few months. -

- -

- In January Amy and I bought a house! We couldn't have done it without - the wonderful help of everyone who gave us wedding gifts. We got a nice - little standalone place in Suffolk, much closer to where I work and - centrally located for Amy's tutoring business. We spent all of January - painting and prepping for the big move. Late January and early February - were all moving and unpacking and trying to get back in the groove. - Since the outbreak, we've been using the extra time at home to finish up - all the move-in projects we wanted to: finishing painting, putting up - shelves, hanging pictures, and rewiring electrical outlets. -

- -

- Amy also finally got the chance to pursue her dream job: she started up - her own private tutoring business. She's been working hard with clients - all over Hampton Roads, from college students all the way to - first-graders. Business was booming before schools closed but I know - she'll bring it back once things have returned to normal again. No - worries though, she's spending this time helping William and Mary handle - remote operations and students in need. She's also [supposed to be] - writing her master's thesis so she can graduate in May but you know how - it is. -

- -

- We're also working through a family illness, which adds difficulty . We - expect a speedy recovery though and we're really excited for that. - All-in-all, we're really enjoying our lives as a happily married couple. - It's been about eight months now and I've enjoyed every minute of it: - the glad, the slightly stressed, and the overarching worry as the world - took a strange turn. But we're looking forward to a good Summer now. The - weather has turned nice -- really nice -- and Clementine is forcing us - to get outside. She's in love with her nice, big fenced-in yard and - refuses to come in after catching hoops most of the time. -

- -

Stay safe, smart, and sane!
