Are you ever too old?

Dale and I went to an adult singles dance two weekends ago.  Yup.  There's a picture of us trying to capture the moment in extremely poor picture lighting in a dance hall that also works as a basketball court.  My hair was frizzy, my make-up was sweating off.  In a nutshell: it was AWESOME.

Favorite quotes of the evening;

"That is a 40 year old man with a tucked in shirt and khakis and he is just going full out in this song.  I may never know what it feels like to be that free."

"This song makes me want to jump!"
"But jumping is for dumb kids."
"Aw... We may not have been friends growing up.  You would have thought I was dumb and I would have thought I was awesome."

There was a live band--eight guys who were really good together--and everyone who was there WANTED to be there.  Everyone danced whether they knew how to or not. 

The last dance I attended was in 2008.  It's been four years and I had some dance moves to get out of me.  I danced to every song.  I even did the electric slide.  Twice.

Dale danced with me the whole time.  Mostly to keep me from being asked to dance by other guys, but whatever got him out there made me happy.

Best of all, it was the first time I've danced with my Dad since my wedding day in 2009.  Here's to married couples going under cover in singles activities.
