Incredible Night!

Last night I was asked to go salsa dancing with some friends from work. Of course I can't turn down an offer like that so after I got out of work at 3 I headed home and started the getting ready process. Rachel from work decided an occasion like this deserved a reason to go shopping so at 7:45, when Rachel got out of work, I would meet her and go shopping.

Shopping was supposed to be and in and out process but it never works the way one wants it to so obviously we ended up taking much more time than planned.

BUT, we made it there by a little after 10 once the band started playing. I met more people and then it was off. Time to learn how to Salsa! All night was full of dancing and it was In-cred-ible!
Everything was fantastic except for the occasional creeper who would suddenly grab you and spin you around. Overal, I learned to dance and had such a fantastic time with all those people!

The band was great! The music was fun and the people were great so it was no surprise we were there until 2 a.m.! Except on the way to the car to go home Rachel and I stumbled across a man who could barely stand up by himself. He wanted directions to his car so he could drive someplace (location: Unknown). So we gave him directions to where his car could have been. When the man started to walk away, Rachel and I both felt horrible leaving him.

We decided that we would walk to her car which was just a couple more blocks away and then drive down to where he should be and if he was still there and not at his car we would take him to it. Driving back, we found him facing a wall looking still confused. We asked him to get so we could take him to his car. After we found his car, we were afraid he would attempt to drive home so we took his cell phone and asked him who we should call.

After several attempts at dialing peoples phone numbers in his phone all we could find out is that everyone in his recent calls either a.) was in the army with him and was about an hour or two from Austin b.) lived even further way in places like L.A. or Vermont c.) did not even know who this kid was. So rachel and decided to drive around looking for something or someone that he might know. So then he passes out in the backseat as we're driving and Rachel calls a friend who says to lock him in his car and hide the keys and leave a note.

Soooo, we drive back, rachel writes a note and I have to frisk him to find his keys...THANK GOD for the nice foreign man who was getting a car help us lift the scrawny man back into his car. At this point it was 3 a.m. and we were excited to get back home and go to sleep! so after the point of being almost home, I realize I still had his phone in my pocket so we had to turn all the way around to get it back to him!

So by the time I got home, it was 4:10 a.m. and all I could think about was sleep.

BUT, it was a wonderful night and I hope that Andy is okay!
