Doing Some Following

Who would of ever thought a "in charge" type like myself would have a hard time taking the lead from someone else??

Well this has been particularly true as Kevin and I have started a new venture together called Social Ballroom Dance lessons. Before I knew anything of the impending engagement, I gave him five weeks of dance lessons for Christmas. I thought it would be a fun activity for us to do together. Little did I know that this dancing with a partner as a woman meant that I got to take the cues from Kevin. Even though I've had my share of individual dance lessons through the years, I've found orienting yourself to a partner is a whole new experience. Kevin doesn't always move when I think he should. Sometimes I want to try new steps when he's comfortable doing the old ones. Other times, he's moving like a pro when I can't get my act together to stay with him.

But, all in all, we've really enjoyed ourselves. And, I've learned that with following depending on Kevin to take the lead is better than I would have thought. Maybe these are early lessons for marriage . . .
