31yrs and older

So there was a singles conference this weekend in Boise and I really wanted to go but guess what...I AM TOO YOUNG!!! Ha ha ha I never thought I would say that again once I was married and turned 21. I accepted that fact and then was told that there would be a dance on Saturday night and it was for all ages...YES!!! So I decided to go and I am not sure I want to go dance with those ages again...

Valerie got off of work a couple of hours before the dance started so I made dinner and helped get the kids ready before bed before I took off for the dance. It was in Boise so when I got there I was a little late but that is no biggy because people are always late to dances here. It reminds me of high school again where the cool people would show up late. Anyways I got there and walked in and the first thing I noticed was that they were blaring country music. I love country but a certain someone that I was hoping to see doesn't. I thought uh-oh if he hears that he is outta here. I peek my head in and look around for people that I know and the second thing is notice is that the majority of the people there have gray hair (no offense to all the people I love with gray hair!! ) My first thought was...am I at the right place?

I quickly went back out to my car and checked the address on my phone (thank goodness for Internet and facebook availability on phones) and sure enough it was the right place. So I decided to go back inside and make the most of it. I went back to the gym and went all the way in and saw two girls that I knew sitting on the opposite side of the gym. I waved at them and walked over to them and sat down and started chatting with them. I usually dance to every song played but I didn't feel comfortable doing that there so I just sat there and talked. Not long after I sat down a guy came and asked one of my friends to dance after their slow song was over a fast song came on and he asked me to dance. I have never been asked to dance on a fast song before so I didn't know the protocol...do I hold his hands? Do I stand a couple feet away from him and do my own thing? So I just stood a little bit away from him and kinda moved my feet back and forth and he did the same thing...it was kinda awkward. It turns out that he teaches at a college and has quite a few grandkids!! He was a nice guy...

After the dance with him I looked at my friends and said if no one else from our group comes to the dance they are in so much trouble!!! Finally another friend comes in and she gets our booties out on the dance floor and we got more of the older people get out and join us and it starts to get fun. Finally about an hour and a half before the dance ends our fearless leader shows up and so does some more girls. He gets to dancing and and so do the girls. Finally about a half hour later even more mid-singles show up and one of my friends is the daughter of the DJ and she gets him to play a better mix of country and our dance music. So about an hour before it ended we had soo many mid-singles out on the dance floor and alot of the older crowd were joining us and we were all having fun. Sadly the dance ended at 11:30pm and we helped the DJ carry his stuff out and put up chairs and tables and decided to head to a restaurant afterwards.

We went to SHERRY'S and I couldn't eat anything because of this pretty intense diet that I was on so I got to have water while everyone else had yummy yummy food!! We had so much fun visiting and laughing then we headed home and I got home after 1am then I though oh crap daylight savings time starts this morning. I think I could seriously do a whole blog on how much I hate daylight savings and how stupid I think it is!! So in reality I was getting into bed at 2am and I had church at 9am and I LOVE MY SLEEP!! Oh well all in the name of fun right!?!
