You Can Take The Girl Out Of The Country, But You Can't Take The Country Out Of The Girl

Last night instead of slipping into our yoga pants and going for a run, we decided to paint the town red.  When Diana asked me where I wanted to go, I asked if there was a 'honky tonk' in Colorado Springs. The next thing I know, David, Diana and I were walking into a place called Cowboys.

Being from Kentucky, I thought I knew what a 'honky tonk' was, turns out I had no clue. Every song had its own line dance...every line dance had cowboys. These cowboys wore the tight jeans, flannel shirts, boots, authentic cowboy hats and had the moves to prove that they knew exactly how to giddy up.

The gentleman above took time out of his night to teach me how to line dance. Hours of 'right, left, right' and twirling later I felt like I needed to have my boots on too. No matter where you are from or where you go, there will always be a place that reminds you of home. 

We didn't know a single person in that place last night yet we had the best time with each other. We laughed, sang, danced, and acted like there wasn't a care in the world. It's important to do that sometimes. It's important to get dressed up, to feel pretty, to drink fireball like you're 21. It's important to learn how to dance from strangers and act 100% like yourself because who cares what anyone else thinks. It's important to make memories, spend time with family and laugh so hard you wish you would've worn waterproof mascara. 

"Life's a dance you learn as you go, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow."
