"Ballroom" dancing in Seattle

Sooo.. In just a few days now I find out if I get to go visit Kaycee (ballroom) next month in Seattle. I haven't really been able to get out of Florida since December 2013 when I took a mini-road trip to Virginia to drop a friend off. It was nice and all... But I need some good, quality time away from here.
Plus there's the whole... Kaycee and me reconnecting. You may remember we had a falling out.. Coming up on 5 years now actually. I miss her terribly and I long to see her even moreso than a trip to a place I've always wanted to go.
I'm very impressed and proud of that girl. She really Yanno... Did it. She adulted. Moved out on her own, experienced adult life and even drinks wine (red or white?) I wanna be her when I grow up.
I met a lovely new neighbor at my grandma's and she is a very talented artist. She does what looks like neon paintings but they're all marker and pen. They're stunning really. So I've been inspired to start painting again.
Can you imagine the inspiration Seattle should give me? Gawd. I'm keeping the dream alive because I feel Kaycee and I both deserve this. Obviously I'm going to benefit more. But, hopefully she's looking forward to seeing me.hi
