I only was able to experience the hoot Saturday night but that in itself was amazing. I wish I could have participated in all of it. Anyways, the hoot was incredible. I have never felt so happy, accepted, and outgoing. I am normally pretty reserved but I was in no way shape or form reserved that night. Shannon and I started the dancing. She suggested it and I was totally in. I encouraged everyone I knew. Sadly though I could only get Kristen to dance with us. The night wasn't over though.
The Mikey Needleman band provided the tunes and they were great. I already have the pleasure of owning them on my ipod (thanks again Shannon). Eventually, everyone was dancing. It was fantastic. Pictures and videos are to come. We even were able to get Mary to dance!!!! She was embarrassed and didn't want to seem awkward. I told her that being awkward was the whole point. Hello! Look at Shannon and I we are insanely awkward all the time. I guess we are good awkward and she isn't. I was very proud of her when she came and joined us out of her own free will.
It was the best night of my summer. I haven't felt that great in a while. I felt a true sense of belonging and friendship. We were all joined together by God and that gave us a deeper connection. Being insane, awkward, and just dancing like goof balls was the best part. I can't wait until my next TEC.
