**I’m totally breaking the I Heart Faces Challenge rules today. But when it’s your own site and you can’t win… why not? hee. So please only add only ONE photo in your post and use photos you actually took if you want a chance to win.

It’s been a week now since I got home from Blissdom, a blog conference which took place in Nashville. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to say about it, but this week’s dance challenge seemed to bring out the words in me. Seeing these photos that Angie Arthur took explains the fun and the reason I like to attend events such as this. Sure I usually learn about blogging, but in reality…. I go to have fun and be with my friends, new and old. Blogging is so much about making connections and when you can meet people in person, that’s when the deeper friendships really begin. I’m very happy to have so many great friends who I’ve met through blogging!
These dance photos were taken right after we saw Harry Connick Jr. in a private concert and up close and personal.

If you want to read all about the Harry excitement with my flat friend Tidymom go here. To see what we got to see, watch this video. Notice my tall, giant blonde head up front, then I’m giggling with Emily for a bit and tiny Angie peaks out towards the end. It was fantastic!!
After the wonderful private concert, the music started and everyone headed to the dance floor. Even Harry’s band members came out to join the fun.
From Left to Right: J.J & Harry’s base player; Emily (the coolest girl ever) & me; Laurie (aka Tip Junkie- she can cut a rug!), Emily and me Voguing; The amazing, super fun J.J.
Angie (yes… she was in a photo!) and me; Jyl, Danielle and Laurie (even sweaty they’re gorgeous!); Julie and Beckie (what great dancers I might add); Me & Jyl (love her eyes here… rarrr!).
What a night to remember! I hope you have a chance to dance with your blog friends someday.
Please visit I Heart Faces and enter a dance photo this week!
I’m one of the Co-Founders of I Heart Faces and just entering for fun. Thanks Angie for letting me show off your photos!

A big thanks to the co-founders of Blissdom!
Allison Worthington @ Mrs. Fussypants – I think I would have been running around like a crazy person all weekend, but she was fun, classy and incredibly calm. I want to be her when I grow up.
Barbara Jones @ One2One Network – After I saw her do a cartwheel and cheerleader jump off stage… I want to be her when I grow up too! If you blog, check out her company and get involved. It’s lots of fun.

Heh. I'm so glad you all had such fun at Blissdom; I know that you gave just as much or more than you got! I plan to be there next year… I think I'll bring 6-inch heels so I won't feel so .. um… "vertically challenged"!

@Life with Kaishon,
I got back just in time for the snow! Love it. And YES dancing was a blast:-)
@the BLAH BLAH BLAHger, You’re lucky I just put these on here. I think Angie took a gazillion and you are in MOST of them. HA! Loved hanging out with you. You rock my friend!
@Laurie, I wish I had a good photo (or video) of you doing that Beyoncé dance!! LOL! Who knew you were such a skilled dance machine??
Thanks SO MUCH for posting those photos. (smirk) No, but seriously, I had a BLAST with you two and can’t wait for CA!!! (hint, hint)
Are these the photos I took? I HEART THEM SO MUCH!! (I guess this means that I need to go into my files and actually look through all of my photos…LOL!) You ladies look so gorgeous dancing the night away!
I had so much fun with you guys over the weekend. You and Angie ROCK!! I’ll hang with you two anytime.
Oh my gosh Amy! It looks like SO much fun : ). I am glad you had such a wonderful time : ) and super glad you avoided the snow in Dallas! What is going on with you guys this year? You aren’t allowed to get snow! : )
