It was the night of April 24, 2010. We are in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
And by we, I mean me, because I am at Maggie and Matt's wedding and David has chosen to go to Hawaii for someone else's wedding. Someone not nearly as cool, Maggie and Matt would have me add.
I was feeling a little sad about David's absence: he is a great wedding date, and also, I like him. All the speeches had been made, and people were wandering back to their tables, for that traditionally awkward time between food and outright ridiculous dance time.
And then I heard it.
I wanna dance with somebody
Someone else beat me to the floor, but Bre and I weren't far behind.
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Shoes were off.
I wanna dance with somebody
Hips were shaking.
With somebody who loves me.
Somebody who? I didn't know, didn't care. David may have been in Hawaii but I was here, with all the friends I love, and this song is a call to dance.
So dance we did, and dance we shall.
To you, Whitney Houston. To your voice, to your songs and to the legacy you left behind.

ReplyDeleteAhem. I want to point out, by ME, you DO mean WE, as half your guest bloggers were also in attendance ;) And yes, definitely someone not as cool.
I also want to thank Whitney for our 5th/6th? Grade music project, where we dissected I WilL Always Love You, and discovered it was written by Dolly Parton.
Thanks WH :)
