I'm learning something new! Yeah! (imported from Myspace)

I am so excited! Well, for one, my wonderful boss is gone away to Japan on a mission trip for twelve days. And even though he's the greatest, I will still enjoy the time to get everything caught up here at the office and de-stress a little before youth camp.
If anyone knows (i.e., Vickie) - how long do blog entries stay "active." Or do they float away into cyber-nothingness after 30 days or so? Can you look at an archived list of someone's blogs, or only recent ones?
Andy and I started taking Ballroom Dance and Swing Dance lessons last night with two other couples from the college (I am the only non-pregnant female - thank the Lord!) We had an absolute ball! The Ballroom class was tremendously easier than the Swing though. They started with the Foxtrot, which is supposed to be easy, and it was. I was pleased. I am glad we started there, rather than starting with the swing, or else we might have gotten discouraged! But we'll get it and then have something fun to do instead of JUST GOING TO DINNER AND A MOVIE! yeah! I mean, Dothan is not exactly chock full of exciting new cultural experiences, if ya know what I mean. haha. But it was loads of fun, and I couldn't ask for a better person to try to learn something new with than Andy. It was great to watch his reaction. Being a musician, the timing thing is a BIG deal to him. I mean, I play an instrument also, but nothing like him. He found comfort, I think, in the beats and counting the steps. I think that is why we found the ballroom class so much easier. It was very specific - very precise - on where and how to step. Swing had a lot more personality and seemed looser on rules. But the nice thing is to know that we have five more weeks to "get it." And I actually think that we can do this! Yeah! (It is SO great to expand yourself and learn something new! I miss that!)
Oh, if anyone has seen X-Men: The Last Stand I would love to hear comments. I was left with a very mixed reaction and I would like to hear how other people viewed the movie.
Otherwise, all is well in the world of Rhonda. Youth camp in two weeks. Can't wait.
