That is great to hear! I was not there when you posted the "moping" posts but that is OK (can you provide a link to it though?), from this post alone it is clear how much ground you have covered. Salsa must be so much fun! And I do not think of three friends as "few" - I think that if you count friendships as "deep" friendships rather than shallow superficial relationships, then three is quite all right. Should keep your hands full.
