Ha! I just have to laugh at my title..because I totally don't feel that way today. However, last weekend was a youth (16-18) winter formal for our Stake and Kurtis and I went as chapperones. I usually don't agree to these dances but when Kurtis asked me if I wanted to go I responded, "I get to wear a pretty dress???" And was therefore excited to go. So we got all dolled up.. I wore my bridesmaid's dress from my cousin's wedding, Kurtis in his manly duds and Sarah in her Valentine's dress (clearance from Old Navy!) and headed to the dance. I immediately took off my shoes (because I'm practical) and put on socks I'd brought. So much easier. We danced around with Sarah who got ooooh's and aahh's from the girls and stole the evening and even got to dance a few alone when someone graciously offered to hold our clingy child who promptly fell asleep. She was a bit scared by the lights and loud music I think. Anyway, we also had our picture taken... and I have to say I think it's the BEST dance picture I've ever taken.. period. Its got my favorite man and woman in it and I look great! I couldn't ask for more. Thanks to my wonderful husband who forced me to go in the dance circle for the first time ever, making my horrible dancing look good and for being such a stud on the dance floor! These dances are so much fun when you're older..but they help keep you young and beautiful. :)
