Gold and Green Ball

There is an annual event here among the singles in my church. They hold a formal/semi-formal dance around St. Patrick's Day. They usually hold it in a really cool location and try to make it really nice. I have never gone to it, not terribly interested. What year do I decide to go to it? The year they decide to hold it at the Stake Center for our church. Oh well, such is life. We got a little group together, and made dinner at my house. Yummy food, good company, lots of fun. To get ready for the dance, me and my date went to a vintage clothing store and picked out a couple of outfits. Yes that is fruit all over my dress.... mAarvelous! It was way more fun dressing a little unusually for such an occasion than wearing something really nice. Love it. So I got out my tripod and took some pictures of the group. I only wish I had taken some pictures of the dance because it ended up being everything I imagined it to be and more. To start off, the lights were on for the dance. The decorations consisted of twinkle lights, and chairs covered in tablecloths with a little bow tied around them. It reminded me of a wedding reception if not for the disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Not that it did much with the lights on... Some awkward dancing in high heals, non alcoholic beverages, line dances, and congo lines and we were back to being 14 at a Stake Dance. BUT, we did have some good company, and did have fun.
