Baptist Dance

266 (Feb. 10th)

"Come on shake it up baby. Twist and shout"

AH! This past Sunday was wonderful. I actually got up and made it to church on time. Don't ask me how, but I did. I was especially excited for this day because we were having another crazy Baptist dance at youth group again. When our youth leader announced it in church to remind us, I couldn't help but smile. I love dancing.
After church, I went home and had lunch with momma. Then she left for Fredericton for the week, without me! :( My favorite place in the world and she wouldn't even let me come. She was all "School, Jess!" Oh, mothers and their incessant need to pester you about school. But anyway, I was getting excited for this dance as I was texting Andy and getting ready simultaneously.
As the time for the dance was quickly approaching, I was almost ready. Feelin' fly in my favourite red dress and fixin' up a few of my Taylor Swift curls. I finished just as my limousine arrived (my friend Adam's mom was driving me there).
Once we arrived at the church, we chatted and went upstairs to do a bible study before our dance. I was so excited I could barely sit still. When the bible study was done, we raced downstairs where they had a sick dance floor set up with these cool lights. And food! There was delicious food.
We danced until we couldn't dance anymore. Literally! They played Twist & Shout and I just went crazy. These dances are just so much better than the ones at school. There's none of that nasty dancing that teenagers do now a days. But it was good ol' baptist dancing. It was what I imagine the dances were like back when they are sock hop and soda parlours. Ah, what a night it was!

Oh by the way, this is my friend Courtney. Isn't this the best dress ever?
