Holy Flying Flips, Batman!

Holy shnike is all I can say about Yuval's workshops this weekend! Every muscle in my body aches. And we still have one more day. I'm a little scared because today's classes are the ones that send us flying in the air. His dips class made me scream, and that was with both feet on the floor! Agh! I'm going to try to get a video of me doing the stuff we learned this weekend, so everyone can actually see me dance (I know, the moment we've all been waiting for...)

Before the classes start this afternoon, I am meeting with our wedding photographer to finally book her. I'll be glad to get this off the checklist and finally have dates for some important shoots. I'd like to do our engagement photos in downtown Kent, but I know that the weather probably won't cooperate this time of year. I'm thinking maybe a good alternative would be an old dance hall that Daryl and I go to; there are a lot of photo ops there. I was also thinking of someplace like the Botanical Gardens, but I know that they charge a per-hour fee to do photography there. I definitely want to do a trash the dress shoot by the river in the snow. I love artsy photography, and photos that I've seen of 'trash the dress' are awesome. Don't worry, the dress doesn't usually get trashed beyond salvageability. It can usually be cleaned. I'm not planning on keeping either of my dresses anyway- and who cares if my first wedding gown gets tromped in the mud, submerged in freezing water, and lit on fire (okay, no fire involved) Here is a website with some examples
