Los Cabos

Josh won a trip at work for himself to go to Mexico with other work employees that won the trip. The employees complained about having to go by themselves so the company allowed them to pay for the plane ticket for a guest to join. Unfortunately, the dates of the trip were over our Intrigue Provo convention which is the biggest convention of the year for girls and Britney's hometown for assisting where they spotlight her the whole weekend. So I knew I couldn't miss it. Josh worked with the travel agent and they were reluctant to let us switch but they finally agreed and moved our dates. Of course it fell over another dance convention so I had to miss 2 of the 3 days of Revive, but it was worth it. Since they changed our dates we didn't go with any other employees so we were able to relax and enjoy the week just the two of us. 

We have never been to Cabo before but have heard great things about it. We didn't have time to do much research before we went so we had no idea what to do once we got there. So we ended up sleeping for the first 3 days lol. We slept in, slept on the beach, then took a nap in the evening, then got dinner and relaxed some more. It was amazing. It was colder than we expected so there were only about 3-4 hours every afternoon that were warm enough to lay out. On the 4th day we grabbed and Uber and headed into the city and walked around and shopped. We found a little massage shop and had the best massages we have ever gotten. The fifth day we went on a whale watching excursion. As soon as we got to the hotel on Sunday we could see whales out in the ocean. So many of them all day long. So we knew that if we went out on a boat we would have a cool experience. And we did! We first went by the famous hole in the rock then headed out for a couple hours chasing whales. It was fun to see them so close to the boat. It was hard to come home after such a great week but we definitely got to relax on this trip and that's what we needed!

Intrigue - Provo

Our hometown! We've gone to so many Intrigue conventions this year but this is the one we've been looking forward to the most. It was so much fun for Britney to assist in her hometown with our studio attending. She got to compete all her team dances, perform a duo with Daniel in the opening show, and do a 60 second solo piece in the closing show. She was the only mini assistant so sh definitely got worked this weekend. But she stepped up and did amazing helping in all of the classes. Brynlee and Brielle did awesome in their classes and with their solos. Brynlee got 2nd in the teen open division for her solo and made it in the top 10! Brielle and Cora also placed in the top 5 in their duo! Such a great weekend!

Intrigue - Denver

Brielle joined us at the Intrigue convention in Denver. It was a lot of fun to have her with us and see what Britney does as an assistant. There were only 5 assistants and Britney was the only mini. She definitely misses the other assistants but it was a good and challenging experience for her to have to push herself and not rely on anyone else in the classes. She worked hard and grew bc of it. She got to do a duet with Casper on stage in the welcome show and I'm sure that will be a highlight of the year!
