Saturday: GX Dancers & Skaters

Saturday night packed the house more than I'd yet seen it. I, of course, was more interested in the cool hip-hop/modern jazz dancing and the fun outfits, than the skate-boarding : ) But the skate-boarding was still pretty good. There was also a white rapper who gave his testimony, and was actually pretty decent at rapping.

Marcail was breaking a tooth that night, and she was a handful! She clung to me the whole night, but was super whiny and biting herself, and trying to chew all over me. By the time the show ended, I was ready to put this child to bed! However, Andrew informed me that John and Donna wanted us to go to dinner. I was debating whether or not to just go home and sleep (aahhh, sweet sleep!), and ended up deciding to make the most of our trip and just do everything we could do. We could sleep later, and we could always leave early if Marcail ended up being too irritable. It ended up being one of the best decisions of the trip! It turned out that one of the successful businessmen in the area was so touched and impressed by Impact, that he was treating everyone to dinner at one of the nicest steakhouses in the town. I could hardly believe it. But we walked downtown, to this very nice hub of a restaurant, and it was jammed packed with the Team! This was 12:30 at night, by the way. We're pretty sure this man paid the restaurant extra for staying open for us. Donna took Marcail under her wing the whole time (amazing!) and Donovan fell asleep in the stroller, and remained that way the rest of the night. Andrew and I were free to talk and laugh and mingle as we pleased. We thought how perfect it was that we got a nice Anniversary Dinner, after all! The food was amazing! We ended up leaving at 3:00 in the morning, and the funniest thing was that I felt so refreshed by the time we left, as late as it was. The association and atmosphere were just what I needed that night.
