Square Dancing

In January Richard and I took up square dancing with some local community members and a couple friends. This May we completed the basic square dancing class. In the fall we will learn mainstream and then graduate in December. After graduating we hope to spend a few months leaning the basic calls for Plus level and then we get to join Centre Squares--YeeHah!

Almost two weeks ago, on May 17, square dancing veterans brought old square dancing clothes to class (Radio Park Elementary where we meet) and I was able to snag a few "free" dresses and a green petticoat. During the free share Richard scored a great western shirt. It was really fun. Then two days later, on May 19, we joined Centre Squares, a community square dancing group, for an evening of fun where we dressed up and danced with the professionals. We have really enjoyed learning to square dance. It has also been fun to hang out with an older crowd and make some good friends.

ABD

What are the three most preferred and BEST letters in the English language? A - B - D

Yes, I said ABD, not ABC or ABCD, but ABD. ABD stands for "All BUT Dissertation, not "All BUT Comps & Dissertation" (ABCD as Richard calls it).

Yes, I have finally reached a milestone in my life. All that stands in the way of me and my advanced degree is the dissertation. Hallelujah!!! How did I reach this milestone you might ask, well today I took my oral comprehensive exam. Fun you might ask, "NO!" Necessary, "I suppose." Over, "YES!"

Ahhh, I have devoted too much brain power to thinking about, writing, and now discussing my exam. I can now move on with life. YESSSSSSSS!!! Now onto the dissertation.

To all of you who offered prayers in my behalf, Thank You! I am so blessed to have such supportive family and friends.
