This summer something new has happened. Every Wednesday night I have a date with me, myself, and I…and my TV. I am not a TV lover. I’m sure I have mentioned before how I think I would throw it out my window if certain members of my family would let me. But I am in LOVE with ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’ I am by no means a dancer. My high school friends would emphatically agree with this fact! But when my best friend Jen (who is a dancer) came to visit in May she introduced me to this show and I am hooked. I had NO IDEA that dance could be so moving. I seriously cry every week. C-R-Y. ME. I KNOW. I can’t remember a time in my life where I cried once a week!

Now I find myself counting down the minutes ’til Wednesday night at 8:00. I’ve already checked their tour schedule to find out the nearest city they’re coming to. And I’m already plotting to drag Brad to the concert while his mom babysits (they’re coming to Colombus) and I just sit their and cry my eyes out (like I did when I went to the Mormom Tabernacle Choirs Christmas Concert in high school {my poor boyfriend}…or like the time I went to see my beautiful and talented cousin portray Cosette in Les Mis in NYC {the poor strangers who were sitting beside me}…or like the time…well, you get the idea. I think it vitally important to our marriage that Brad also experience an equally humiliating experience with me, don’t you?). Every time I am so moved by music and the arts I find myself wishing, no, praying that my children are one day so inspired and moved by something that they’re brought to tears. It’s undescribable.

Tonight Melissa and Ade danced a number about a woman fighting breast cancer and it was INCREDIBLE. I’m sure it will be all over the internet tomorrow, so if you missed it tonight find it and WATCH IT! And grab a box of tissues…
