My Summer Trip to Provo, Part 1

I spent the last week and a half in Provo. It's kind of funny that during my summer home from school I took a trip back up there, but I love it. So funny story, when I first got to Provo, my partner Brenton called me and told me he'd be there in 10 minutes to pick me up. I was so excited to see him again!! I hurried to get ready and after 10 minutes there was a knock at the door. B yelled "Come in!" and I rounded the corner from the hallway all ready to tackle Brenton. Much to my dismay, it wasn't him!! It was M's boyfriend M2(who used to be my boyfriend). I was so disappointed I'm pretty sure my whole countenance fell. "Oh hi." The poor guy, I wasn't disappointed to see him, I was just disappointed it wasn't Brenton. However, when Brenton came over M2 was just sitting on the couch so I felt really awkward running and tackling Brenton in front of him. So I just scurried over and hugged him. Darn M2, he ruined my plans! But regardless, it was so good to be back with Brenton and dancing with him again.

I spent the whole time dancing or doing dancing related things. I got to be a TA for the BYU Youth Ballroom Camp. It was amazing because I TAed for some of the best ballroom dancers in America. I worked with Tomas, Christian Perry, Urs, and Curt Holman (from BYU). It was incredible.


I now have some new ideas for teaching ballroom to children. Out of the guest professionals, Christian was my favorite teacher to TA. Everyone seemed to love Tomas, but he had a nasty habit of hitting on all of his TA's even though he is married. Uh...that just made me a little uncomfortable. I loved TAing for Curt too because he is one of the dance teachers at BYU that I look up to the most.

My dad flew in on Friday to see me compete in Dancesport. That night he took me and Brenton out to Tucanos for dinner. Mmmm... =) It was so dang good. Neither Brenton nor my dad had been there before and they loved it. It was such a good evening, nothing awkward. My dad and Brenton got along so well and they chatted away the whole night. We dropped Brenton off after dinner and then dad and I went to the grocery store to buy items to make a "Dancesport survival kit" for Brenton. It was so fun. We came back to my (well, M's) apartment to assemble it. MC and M were there and it totally threw M2 off guard when Dad walked in because it was always really tense and awkward between them. I silently laughed inside. After we made the kit, we dropped it off on Brenton's doorstep and then I texted him from Dad's phone to tell him to go outside.

I don't know why I bothered to do that because 1) It was something related to Dancesport and he probably could have guessed it was from me and 2) I signed my name on the card!
