Prom….come and gone

Add comment May 18th, 2008

Last night was prom. It was ok, I’ve been to better dances, but that isn’t the point. Prom isn’t about music or about the decorations, it’s about seeing your high school friends and hanging out with them for what will be one of the last times. It’s about coming together and having a good time. Here are some pictures =)

Tomorrow is prom! exciting! I left school today at 12:30 and went to decorate. That was a lot of fun.  Well, until I electrocuted myself. That wasn’t too fun.  Prom is going to look amazing, I’m glad I decided to help decorate. I finally talked my mom into letting us go to JMK Nippons for dinner. We made reservations last night. I ordered his  flower today, I’m a little late, I know. We’re taking pictures at Rock Cut tomorrow, thats where we went last year and the pictures turned out beautiful. I just can’t wait! Prom means schools almost over! Only 3 more days after prom! YES! I will update with prom pictures =)

Food?

The question on most peoples mind when it comes to prom is where do we go for dinner? Thats a very good question. I don’t exactly have the answer for that. My boyfriend and I have been thinking of about a million places to go for dinner and we can’t decide on one.  Do we go somewhere that will have a lot of people or not? To begin with we wanted to go to JMK, but my mom told me no, because she didn’t want me to smell like smoke, so that one is out. We thought about Linos, Olive Garden,Giovanis,Di Giovanis, and a ton more, but we have no idea where we will go. Where to go? Does anyone have any better ideas? I didn’t think dinner would be such a huge deal.

Yes! A group!

I finally have a group! To begin with I thought going solo seemed pretty cool. I mean who doesn’t want to be alone with their date? But going with a group is tons of fun! I didn’t think I would have a group, until yesterday that is. On the bus my friend asked if I wanted to be in her group of about six. I said sure! Now we just need to decide where we are going to go for dinner….Hmmmm. I’m so excited for prom now! I just can’t wait!

Will the tux match?

Add comment April 29th, 2008

So the dress is finally here. Thank goodness.  I almost freaked out. But thats beside the point, I didn’t ask my boyfriend to prom in a fancy way, lets face it I’m just to lazy for that. But he is going with me, He’s going to buy his tux on Thursday or Friday. He looked up the color he wanted online, seriously who does that? How would he ever know if the color actually matched.  Sometimes he’s a little odd if you ask me. I love him anyways.  Then he left the little piece of my dress on my coffee table, so he really wouldn’t know if the tux matched or not. He had to come back the next day and get it.  I sure hope he gets the right color.

With all these thoughts about prom, and looking around google for extra ideas. I camealong to this picture… I could help but to think to myself how unbelievably random it was to find a “prom dog” on google.com I guess that anything could happen though!! Use this for the quick laugh! Let it make your day!!!
