Two things:

1.
I'm almost in your "Rio" video, but dammit, the camera just misses me. But the video warms my heart, because dancing to that song was so much fun.

2. You are my #1 choice to play my Future Wedding of Indeterminate Date (considering I'm not engaged, the date truly is indeterminate). Hearing that you will continue to play weddings is the best news I've heard in a long time.
Viva la Sweethearts!

I was going to Madison last week, and started to get extremely excited that H.S. was playing the same night. I started making plans, calling people...Then, I remembered it was Monday. Life bites me in the A... sometimes. But someday soon, I will remember how to keep track of the days of the week and then I can "dance" again.

Alright!
Another night I get to go out and further wreck my health. I can get healthy when I'm dead.

thanks Sweethearts, You're the greatest!

I may not even be engaged yet, but all I have to say is that Nate's move had better not impede on the sweethearts playing my wedding!
