I made it through the Bunny Hop!

Every year for as long as I can remember, my family has had a family Valentine's dance in commemoration of my parents' first date (Feb. 11 to a BYU stake dance) and my parents' wedding anniversary (Feb. 14, two years later). We always dance to the same music, a tape of different ballroom / social dance mixers that my father has had since taking social dance in college. This tape includes things like the Hokey Pokey and the Bunny Hop.

If you are unfamiliar with the Bunny Hop, it works like this: kick with right leg twice with right arm in the air, kick with left leg twice with left leg in the air, hop forward, then backward, then forward three times in a row. It's quite an aerobic workout. And this particular song always seems to last forever! No matter what, my father has always led the bunny hop line. And he always makes it to the very end of the song... and I always die about one minute in.

This year, however, I have been working out and I did not think it would make that much difference. BUT IT DID! This year, I made it all the way to the end of the song with everyone else! And that is quite an accomplishment.
