I don't usually participate much in the big ward activities anymore. I just kind of feel like I've been doing these things for so long now, and they don't excite me much anymore. But for some reason last night, I decided I'd go to the Tri-Ward dance. It had been awhile since I'd been to anything, and I kind of wanted to go. So I came up with a costume and got dressed and off I went.
Now everyone knows the thing to do is to not get there right when the dance starts. The dance started at 9:00, so I figured I'd get there around 10:00. Along the way I prayed out loud that I would be able to find a friend there, and I also told myself that I would give it a chance and stay at least an hour.
When I got there, things weren't looking too good at first. But a few minutes into it, I found some of my old pals from my former Singles Ward, so I hung out with them. We had a pretty good time as these things go - we danced in groups for the fast songs, and left the floor for the slow songs. I even overachieved and stayed for 90 minutes (in my defense, I did have to get up very early this morning). WooHoo! Hooray for Tracie!
Here's a photo of several of us taken in the photo booth - for the record, I was a rapper. I had a 'do rag on, wore my hat off to the side, put on plenty of bling, and even wore my pants down low so you could see my boxers underneath. STYLIN'! Now if I just knew some rap music.
