Back from Nationals

I think I can speak for Laetitia and say that we are soooooooo tired. Friday night, we went to bed after midnight, and got up at 5am, only to miss our Saturday flight because we got there 1/2 hour before check-in instead of 45min. We still made it to St. Paul 11 hours later than planned, but getting there a day before we dance is all that counts. The dancing on Sunday felt pretty good. Laetitia and I got 2nd place, so the extra work and determination paid off. I got to meet her aunt Nancy and family, and it was nice to dance in front of some family smile
We socialized after the event, and then had John and Klair in our room till pretty late... Laetitia and I ended up with probably an hour's sleep before needing to leave the hotel at 5 -15am, but at least we caught our flight home okay. We were back in San Diego by 10 -30am.
Anyway, I just thought I'd make a blog quick entry, since I'm so tired that we blew off our trip to LA and my trip to seeing "So you think you can dance", live. Thanks to Michael Mead for his help throughout the year, and our friends and family for their support, and for our competitors for making this such a challenging field!
