My first Seattle dance class

This weekend I went to my first Seattle dance class. I chose a tap only studio because a) I found one and b) I thought it would be better because tap is the red headed step child at most dance studios. And it was a totally different experience.

• It was a one room studio
• Everyone in the class was an adult
• I paid a drop-in class fee (I'm in love with this structure and can't wait to try out other places)
• The guy who owns the studio and teaches was very theatre oriented rather than competition oriented like the studio in Spokane
• We danced for the entire hour

All in all I like it and I'm going to go back and try it again. This afternoon I spent time looking for places to go for some modern dance and found a few options for that too so I'm hoping to have either two or three nights with a class for some good workout sessions.

Bed update

Jeff and I have now had our sleep number bed for two weeks. And we really weren't loving it. But we had a feeling it was because we, after spending 45 minutes deliberating over the pillow top or the foam top, impulsively decided to go with the memory foam. So today, after spending an hour on the side of a soccer field with Sue and Miles as Sean's team kicked some butt, we drove back to the mall to lay on the foam one. And instantly agreed that was the problem. So we are calling in tomorrow to swap it out. And the good news is the foam one is way cheaper than the memory foam, so we'll also get some money back. 

Making Seattle home update

We still haven't made any friends. But I have started venturing out everyday to a different coffee shop or cafe to work for a few hours to get the lay of the land. I love taking the bus. Leah and Reed came over for dinner the other day and that was fun. And we have a few outings planned in the upcoming weeks. The real obstacle in our way the fact that neither of us go out to work. We aren't forced to interact with other people through a daily activity. Jeff is trying to find us a new bowling league (and the cool thing is the bowling alleys here do short 1-2 month long leagues rather than a full year sanctioned league) so hopefully we can make friends that way. We know we haven't been here that long but it's still dragging on the happy to only have each other to stare at day after day.
