This one took me a long time to come up with. But once I found it (by looking back through my Good Things posts), I KNEW it was my best night out.
This past summer we started a wonderful Thursday night tradition. We would go to North Hills, a local outdoor mall/shopping center, where they would play live beach music and shag dance. It became the highlight of my week, and whenever I had to work on Thursdays I was bummed.
My favorite time at North Hills was the last week I went in August. The weather was beautiful -- not too hot, not raining. The band was awesome! Normally the bands were hit or miss and this band was a HIT. They actually played beach music (which in turn means we could shag) and they also played great covers. When we weren't shagging or line dancing we were out there just dancing and making fools of ourselves. I was goofy (which is how I dance) and had one great time.
As a side note, this was also the night that I decided to have seven good days in a row. It came after a couple of hard weeks mentally, physically, spiritually and I knew that I just had to change it. I decided to pray for seven good days and God honored that with starting me through the healing process; I ended up with about seven good weeks. :-)
So, all in all, a night out at North Hills with dancing in August was the Best Night of 2009.
