Best Friends Sharing a Blog, One in CA the Other in TN

Hey Mariel and Blog readers!

 I had tons of fun the day before yesterday. The barn dance was great. Thank You Austins, for setting that up.

We met a family called the Blacks and they're missionaries to Ethiopia! The whole barn dance was put together for them. A lot of the people were helping the Blacks raise money to help the Ethiopians. I sold 4 washclothes in 1 set with a bar of soap.
After the Blacks told everyone about Ethiopia and all that we began the barn dance, which was a ton of fun.
 I learned a couple of new dances. but there was one I couldn't do because there were a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds that wouldn't pay attention to the person teaching us how to do the dance. So, I kind of bummed because that dance looked fun. Another dance I couldn't do because there were'nt enough people in my group to do it. But it was a ton of fun doing the Virginia Reel and another one I learned called the backtrack something or other.
 
I danced with Veronica Gonzalez for a while (I was supposed to be the boy) and each time I passed my aunt  she would say "Oh, Annie, that's so cute" (or some thing like that).

Later,  Timothy Estabrooks
comes to me and asks me to dance with him. That was fun. Me and Timothy did the Virginia Reel and at the end of the dance, he looks at his left shoulder with a confused look on his face, takes something off of it and holds it out to me and says "Is this yours?" I looked at it and it was my name tag that was on MY left shoulder. LOL! I assumed that happened while we were doing the dosie doe because everytime we did that we accedentally bumped in to eachother.
Then we did the backtrack something or other and with that dance you switch partners. But you don't know who your next parner will be. (hard to explain)
I have no idea who Paull  was dancing with  but when  we  got stuck  together he seemed SO happy. He was like "Ryann, oh my gosh, YES! I'm so happy!". I guess he was sick of dancing with people he hardly knew. So being his cousin made all the difference, I assume. Either that or he was dancing with Luke or Hi-Ya.

I also danced with Joy Austin and Jacob Austin. I don't think Jacob liked the Virginia Reel to much though.lol.

Every once in a while (I think I was dancing with Timothy when this happened) I would look over into another dance group that my parents were in, and, Oh gee, you wouldn't believe me if I told you that JENIG was causing total CHAOS would you? well it's true, my parents were doing the most hilarious things you could think of doing. They were bum-bustering eachother and jumping everywhere. They  were  acting as if they had come from the south or something LOL!
 No, my parents are great dancers. Mr. Gonzalez was break dancing and Uncle Paul put his  hands in his armpits and put one leg up in front of him and flapped his arms(trying to be a rooster).Uncle Paul says he's working on the cockle doodle doo. LEVISUAREZ seemed embarrassed because of what uncle Paul was doing. Finally, he says, "Dad, what are you doing? Your totally embarrassing me (he was joking). And Uncle Pauls reply was "What? That's why I'm here, to embarrass my kids!"
Anyways, that was fun.
I think that post is long enough.
I'll post again soon.

About Us
This blog is from two different perspectives (Best Friends) from each side of the country. We had been best friends for a 1 year and then Ryann and her family and cousins moved out to Tennessee leaving her best friend Mariel behind. Ryann thought it would a good idea to start a blog together because we can't talk on the phone everyday (which is preferable). So we thought this would be a good way to communicate.
