In Other news...

We have been diligently trying to pay off our Students loans and as of March 1st we are officially done with them!! We are so excited!!!

To celebrate Travis bought me a GORGEOUS Coach purse and wallet (and yes, they are real!) from the outlet malls in vegas. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!! and made it so worth all the sacrifices we have made to pay the loans off so quickly.

To celebrate for Travis we bought a HUGE (no joke, HUGE) porterhouse steak (1.5 inches thick) that he is planning on grilling up tonight. I think i got the better end of the deal, but i know he is so excited to devour that hunk of beef tonight! :)

AMAZING NEWS!!

While we were in vegas we had the most exciting thing happen to us!! Nick and Lena Kosovich, owners of Lenique offered us a full costume sponsorship!! His and Hers (usually only girls get sponsored)!!! Its so unexpected since this was only our fourth pro comp, but we could not be more excited about working with them!!

We are also excited because they own a competition in Costa Rica at the beginning of April that we now "HAVE" to go to, so we can have costume fittings and talk designs. AAHH!! we are so happy!

travels.

Its been a while since i've blogged, but we have been traveling like CRAZY!! which has been really fun. We finally were able to get all of our routines to the point that we could start competing again, which is so exciting since we haven't done it in almost a year!! But in the last 4 weekends we have competed at 4 different competitions. here's where we have been and how we have done:

February 11-13 Montreal, Canada. we placed 7th in showdance and 2nd in Open Pro Smooth. we felt pretty good about the weekend, but it was our first in a while so we had quite a few jitters. our show dance sucked because we missed 2 out of our 3 big lifts, so we weren't very happy about that. but overall, not bad since it was our first one back.

February 18-20 Boston, Massachusetts. We placed 2nd in showdance, 2nd in Rising Star Smooth, 3rd in Open Pro Smooth. We were much happier with our dancing this weekend. Although we still missed one of our big lifts in our showdance. AH!

February 26 New York City. We placed 3rd in Open Pro Smooth. We didn't feel great about our dancing that night, but alot of people said we looked pretty good. so i guess that's worth something.

March 3-7 Las Vegas, Nevada. We placed 3rd in Showdance, 4th in Rising Star Smooth, and 6th in Open Pro Smooth. Although our placings don't seem as great we were SUPER happy with this weekend. this was the biggest of the competitions we've attended so far and it was much harder. In fact, we didn't even think we would make the final of open pro and we did!!! so we were very happy!! We also were able to do our first dance on ever, which was really exciting for us. And we were able to hit ALL of our lifts in our showdance!!!!! Also, we found out some AMAZING NEWS!!!! which will be coming in my next post... so stay tuned!

We are so happy to be back on the dance floor and could not be happier with how things are going! We miss everybody, but we are so happy we are here doing what we love. its definitely the opportunity of a lifetime!
