Winter Dance Recital 2008

Emma and I had our winter dance recital on Monday, December 8, 2008 at 6 pm. The pictures of us by the Christmas tree were taken before we left. Unfortunately, they are the only pictures that turned out okay. Logan went with us to take pictures and, through no fault of his own, they all turned out blurry. Man, I want a new camera!!! I found one that I like and I told Craig that I'm willing to wait until we can save up for it. Emma and I each danced a jazz dance and a tap dance. We both messed up a little, and we are relieved it's over until the spring recital in May.

Steven had basketball practice until 6:15, so Craig stayed home to wait for him. (Forgot to mention he made the JV Basketball team at Silverado. Yay!) Then we were all going to meet up at Cashman Center for the annual Cowboy Christmas concert. The Bar J Wranglers from Jackson Hole, WY do a concert here every year, and our good friends from Anderson Dairy supply us with tickets. Anyway, we were texting back and forth letting each other know where we were and how we were doing time-wise. As soon as my last dance was over, I was rushing to get changed so we could head out for the concert. We were going to be cutting it close and most likely we would be late. I grabbed my bag, dashed into the restroom, and froze as it just didn't seem right to me. I stood there for several seconds trying to figure out why the stalls were on the wrong side of the restroom when I realized I had gone into the men's side! I hurried back out as Logan came to the door and said, "Uh, that's the boy's." Luckily for me, there was no one in there...THIS TIME! Yes, this has happened to me before. At Wal-Mart. I got something in my eye and could hardly see and ran blinking straight into the men's restroom. As I struggled to get my contact out, I wondered why there wasn't a mirror in the women's restroom. I heard someone in the stall, but paid no attention until HE came out and said, "One of us is in the wrong place." I gasped, looked around, and ran out, embarrassed and laughing. I must be one of the few people on earth that cannot tell the difference between the universal signs for men and women.

Just remember what Elder Worthlin said, "The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable."
