A video of Hank dancing to some holiday music before Christmas.  The spin moves kill me!

School dazed and confused

Alright, alright, alright.

Brett's done with school! Yesterday was his last day of class at Stanford. I think it was a little emotional for him since he now officially has to enter back into the real world and do some bizness. I felt a little sorry for him too. But only for a few minutes...then I started the official count down clock to my retirement.

To commemorate the finale of his time at the GSB, here's a picture I took of him on his first day of classes. That day, it was cracking me up that he was a grown man and wearing a backpack so I had to take this picture. Not sure why he's flashing signs, so just ignore that part. Do not, however, ignore the fact that his hair was so short back then!

Although it has been a great week due to school being over, Brett's been recovering from a back injury he suffered this past weekend which left him "looking like he was permanently stopped in the middle of a dance move" - Brett's description of why his back looks all twisted up. If you've seen him dance you can understand what he's talking about. He's recovering well due to the meds that left him a little dazed and confused. We're hoping he makes a speedy recovery because we have lots of fun stuff planned over the next two weeks and we can't have him hobbling around anymore!

Paulson Family HSM

At our cousin Sarah's wedding reception in February, all of the Paulsons surprised her with a rendition of the final scene from High School Musical. It might seem a little hokey to do a dance from a movie in the middle of a beautiful wedding reception, but the Paulsons love HSM and everyone knew Sarah would love it. The idea for the dance took place many months before the wedding so it's amazing we kept it a secret from her for so long.

Here's the video. Note my solo at the 2:00 mark and Brett's fancy footwork throughout, especially at the 3:00 mark.

If you go watch it on YouTube you can choose to watch it in high quality.



I love watching this video because it was so much fun and everyone in the family learned the dance and the moves - or at least the moves easiest to repeat over and over. Who wouldn't want to dance like a Wildcat?
