As part of our goal to do a weekly date, John surprised me last year with plans to go to the BYU Traditions Ball. This was so fun!!! We really recommend going if anyone ever gets the chance. There is a great jazz band, dance instruction, yummy food, and live shows to watch. We saw some amazing dancers there, both in the shows and just some of the couples that were dancing. I love dressing up and going dancing so this was a perfect fancy date for me.
We decided to go again this year and were definitely not disappointed. I felt about 16 years old, borrowing a dress from my friend, but it was worth it. I can't remember the dances we learned last year, but this year we learned the three step swing and the foxtrot (I think). This was perfect for the jazz music. It is fun to see everyone dressed up. We saw quite a variety dresses from prom to church dresses to even one wedding dress last year.
It is funny to compare these dances with the ones from when we were single. It sure makes me appreciate who my date is these days. :) A couple of years ago, when I was student teaching, we actually chaperoned the high school prom. My goodness, that was entertaining. If you ever want to appreciate being married, watch high schoolers awkwardly dance or make out. Yep, it was pretty great. :) Mainly I just love being married to such a great guy!
