Marriage is what brings us together today...well, yesterday and then it will again on Saturday for my brother's wedding. Yesterday I was privileged to attend the sealing of my friends Spencer and Hayley at the Salt Lake Temple. It was a beautiful ceremony and seeing true joy radiate from them made me feel happy, and hopeful.
In the evening I also attended their wedding reception. Near the end of the event, my fear came true as they announced that there would be dancing and they wanted us all to join in. I have been to several wedding receptions where they have party dancing, and it just didn't seem like my thing. It's not that I can't dance--or maybe that is the problem--I guess I'm just a little self-conscious.
Thankfully, I was with several friends from my mission, and they wanted to get out there. I decided to just enjoy the dancing and not care what I looked like. Who was I going to impress anyway? It was a lot of fun, and my opinion of dancing at wedding receptions has changed. It can be fun.
Sometimes when new opportunities are placed before us, we turn away because we don't believe we can do it. Have a little faith in yourself and when given the chance, try something new.
Glad to see that you are enjoying all facets of life and living. Keep it up! Good luck with Medical School. I'll miss not seeing you when I get back...so next year if you are ever in Provo, just give me a call.
