Too Early!

Last night we hosted a huge Valley wide Dance/game night/Charity event. Crazy work and fun!
Black and white theme with black light and every other crazy lighting you can imagine, balloons (cheesy I know, but it really worked well with what we were doing!) and black cut-outs of people dancing all over the walls! It looked awesome. The ticket in was a can of food to be donated in our community. Not to mention everyone was wearing black and white.
It was awesome! We had so much fun and collected so much food! I was partying non-stop and I am feeling it today, when I am here at work at 7:30 in the morning after not getting home until 1am. There is a difference between being up until one and being at work and being out dancing all night and being at work at 7:30.
I really realized how much I loved the people I work on my committee with. We know each other so well and we work well. We hang out as friends not just work together and that is nice. We are putting on a fireside on Sunday night, because we like to be busy, and are singing a musical number together that one of us arranged. I just feel totally loved, accepted and like I am in the right place.
I know I am in the right place and doing the right things for me. I have had the chance to be a part of so much and learned so much about who I am. No matter what other think, how my family feels or what is the common perception, I am happy. Rough days and moments happen but just look at how blessed I am. I refuse to give in to others perceptions and thoughts about the person I should be and I am living like I want to. I am happy being the odd man out and the exception to the rule. I never did do anything the easy way and was never what people expected. Different is ok friends! I am not different alone either, there is a huge world of people just like me out there. I am not better than anyone else or saying that my life is, just that I get the opportunity to be a part of this minority within our LDS culture that I am enjoying. I am having the time of my life and don't feel bad about not being married and reproducing at this point in my life. I have eternity to have a family and I am enjoying this time in my life.
I love how great life can be. Not perfect, not at all, but moments of surety that you are where you need to be and that you are the person you were meant to be. I am, and I love it!

You go girl! What a profound perspective on your life! I am proud of you for persuing your own dreams and life experiences. I loved the dance/party idea. Sounds like a lot of fun! Oh, to be single and having that kind of fun! No, really I'm happy where I am too but it sure would be fun to go to a dance! I definitely wouldn't be able to stay up so late though! For sure!!!
