The history of Dancing and the Riedels

I got home from work yesterday to rain, rain and more rain. Cody and Lizzie decided that they would dance some since they couldn't go outside and then this funny revelation came out of Cody's mouth that I just have to share. Some of you know the story, but others of you will it hear for the first time.
Cody grew up going to Garner State Park every summer where he would go to the dance each night. The Riedel's are a dancing family. It was there at GSP that Cody met Jenny M. (now Lytle) as they danced together. Years of dancing and getting to know each other brought a lasting friendship between these two. Then one year they found each other at Texas A&M University where they continued to hang out and dance any chance that they had. In 1999 I met Jenny in an Education class at A&M and we became friends. We ended up taking several classes together and then one we became roommates.
Now do you see where this story is going. I soon met Cody through Jenny. Cody and I really did not talk alot during that time, but we did know of each other. Jenny got married not too long after graduating and Cody was part of the wedding party. It was all down hill after Jenny's wedding when Cody and I started to hang out on a weekly basis.
Cody's revelation...If it was not for dancing...there would be no Lizzie and no Wesley in the picture!!!!!
I loved it and I am sure that some of you will enjoy knowing and thinking about that too!!
Hope everyone is safe and sound with all this rain.

that is so funny, but oh so true. i love all my memories of dancing at good ol' GSP with the boy from Northshore. lots of good times were had. we need to plan a trip to meet up there next summer--once these infants can run around and we're NOT post-partum. brady will need to teach lizzie some moves. "i'll be back again next year..."
