Back to School Dance:)








Yet school started only a week ago and everyone is a little depressed, we had a marvelous thing to look forward to. On Wednesday there was a combined stake dance with the Anaheim East stake and the Placentia stake. You know what that means? PARTY!!! Yaya! 

Even though it was just a casual dance, obviously we couldn't just dress "casual". Where is the fun in that? So... the theme was 80s baby! Lauren,Kimberly and I had on tights, running shorts, crazy shirts, fanny packs, funky jewelry and psychedelic make-up. Ryan was sporting a white V-neck and funny headband and William had on red pants and a LEGIT jacket with cut off sleeves straight from the 80s. Jordyn, Jen, Jessica and Ally had on tie dye shirts! (homemade)

We arrived at the dance ontime! We stayed in the car for a little bit and partied it up then headed off into the stake center. As we walked in EVERYONE noticed and commented on our outfits. The danced ended up being HUGE!!! Every person was there and it was completely full from the front to the back. A GIGANTIC plus was that there was a slushy machine!! It doesn't get any better then that. We brought three cups of slushy and put in on the stage and sipped it the whole time. 
One thing that we decided was that the fanny packs really come in handy at dances. Say that you want some lipgloss or gum, just reach down and POW you got it! The contents of out fanny pack included: lipgloss, portable fan, gum, cell phone, camera, car keys and usually a dance card but that was unnecessary for this dance. 

After, you know we had to dance in the parking lot. All of our mothers were out there telling us to "Go home, you have seminary tomorrrow" but its a tradition sorry momma we have to dance! We had the strobe light, disco ball, and speakers and went from car to car and the funniest part was when there was a bunch of us around Ricky's car and someone yells " PO PO!!" and i look over and the stake presidency is walking out of the dance. EVERYONE runs to their cars and that is how the dance party ended. It usually goes until someone crashes it which is a thrill.  

Now you would think that night is over. NOT YET. As were driving home from dropping off courtney, a car full of older guys pull up and there like "hey girls" and were like uhh uhh hi and look away. Then they speed past us with a HUGE FAT WHITE thing hanging out of the window!! We were appalled we honked and tried to get behind them, but they kept changing lanes getting next to us! Ahh it was disgusting and defiantly not the first time we have been mooned after a dance. 

This weekend the dance has been cancelled in RSM, we have an insider in that stake and she informed us of this tragic news. We might go to Mission Viejo for a whole new dance experience but who knows we will just wait and see how the crew is feeling.
