Lets rewind back to the time I was almost 16...standing on the dance floor at Aspen Grove. <br /><br />Slow dance comes on and after a few still moments tall girl slowly slurps to the edge of the room, used to the fact that nobody asked her to dance.<br /><br />Suddenly appear my two dancing aunts with Uncle Corey along side asking me who I think is a "hottie" and telling me who he thinks is. Suzy says, "Ok, nobody is going to ask you to dance if you stand there with your arms folded across your chest. You need to be approachable. Put your arms down by your side. And add a pleasant expression to your face."<br /><br />I was shocked when it worked. I don't know who paid him off but the next guy to ask me to dance was in deed the hottest one, and I got to hear about it all night long thanks to you guys!Briannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410764545739779560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-11862389102015089732010-05-03T09:56:03.448-06:002010-05-03T09:56:03.448-06:00ACK!!

There were only about 60 people there and way less boys than girls. She danced one slow dance, since there were only a few. Apparently you only dance with boys when you are slow dancing now. She thought it was lame. That made me so sad...Mom of Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123708327291739159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-70980622383724189252010-04-26T06:22:12.356-06:002010-04-26T06:22:12.356-06:00I am quite certain that when they release you from...I am quite certain that when they release you from being the RS Prez then they are going to call you to be in the Stake YW and when they do, let me be the first to give you a little advice:<br /><br />* No matter what, do not have Pixie stix on hand for refreshments. They are like Mormon Crack and the kids will be on the roof - seriously, ON THE ROOF!<br /><br />* If the Stake Priesthood leaders - i.e. the other leaders in charge - have a regional training meeting on the same night that Pixie Stix are distributed, just call the whole thing off right then and there or else YOU will be the one going on the roof.<br /><br />* M&Ms on the refreshment table will be used as weapons of mass destruction and are a PAIN to pick up when all is said and done.<br /><br />* While M&Ms are a no, grapes are always popular and you will always run out. Strangely, they are actually eaten because even though you may expect to find the grapes under the chairs, you will not.<br /><br />* So, to sum up - no candy, just grapes, bring men.<br /><br />*And, as a chaperone, the best way to clear a bathroom is to walk in and start asking the 14 year old girls if they have a tampon you could have. They will clear that room faster than you can say "Edward Cullen just walked in to the gym" and they will not return.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505982048644723257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-47649361562373312412010-04-26T00:33:07.650-06:002010-04-26T00:33:07.650-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.5starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761616342645681228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-72867136423685012692010-04-26T00:11:35.056-06:002010-04-26T00:11:35.056-06:00Oh, if only someone had told me about #1...it woul...Oh, if only someone had told me about #1...it would have saved me a whole semester of my dating life at BYU!
