It started out with, well just getting ready... but I had planned a reunion with some friends from my ward family in Highland. We got together at someone's house for lunch and reminisced about the good ole' days. What a blast.
We went straight from there to see Avatar IMAX 3D at the Jordan Commons. That was awesome too, except kind of long... I was entertained the whole time, my body just has a hard time sitting that long(It's amazing to think how far we really have come with technology and everything... NUTS).I was ready to be up and moving, but then I just had to drive home to meet Rodd to go to another show in Provo!
Mark Ballas sang a few original songs with his guitar in between songs to kill time for the dancers to change. Derek came out to sing with Mark and said that while mark plays, "does anyone want to dance with me?" A bunch of little girls started screaming and he went down and picked one, brought her up to the stage and danced a bit with her. Rodd turned to me and said, "That should be you up there."
He brought her back to her seat and came up our isle. Rodd turned his phone light on and put it in front of my face and I put my arms up. He came right to me and said, "Do you want to?" Of course I said yes! We ran up to the stage and danced some swing for a minute or so... He was surprised that I was able to follow his lead and had fun. It was awesome. Needless to say after that my body wasn't hurting from sitting with all of the adrenaline rushing through it! It pretty much made my whole night.
We had a great time and enjoyed the show. Vibe did a really great job putting everything together and it was very entertaining. They have some very talented choreographers. Afterwords i was able to get a picture with him because Rodd said, "This is going on the blog, and we need a picture to go with it." He's such a sweetheart. :) This show was probably the push I needed to make the decision to start taking classes again. I just miss it too much... especially watching others dance, it just kills me.
With this also comes a re-commitment to post more often... I'm averaging once a quarter, or so... Sad, but we are doing well. :)
