I Could Have Danced All Night

Saturday night my ward had a formal dance. I was surprised because I thought my days of formal dress shopping were long since over. (Believe me I do not miss those days. I can remember spending hours at different stores trying on different dresses and crying to my mom in frustration when nothing fit right. Oh the joys of being only 5 feet tall and very petite. Unfortunately most stores don't carry formal dresses in the girls' department.) But, I finally decided on my old prom dress. It took about eight hours to find it when we originally bought it, so I felt justified in getting all the use out of it I could.
I think every girl deserves to get dressed up and feel like a princess every once in a while. Every girl needs to see how beautfiul she is. I was lucky that my sister, Becca, was nice enough to fix my hair and loan me earrings (even though I accidentally wore earrings from 2 different parirs that night). So, complete with earrings and beautiful hairdo, I felt like a princess. It was a great night. In the words of one of my favorite songs,

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still had begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I'd never done before
I'll never know
What made it so exciting
Why all at once
My heart took flight
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced danced, danced
all night!

It was definitely a night to be remembered. We'll have to have another dance soon!
