Following Up

Remember when Landon went to CHHS's prom and had a horrible time?  Remember how he cried all the way home and didn't sleep that night?  And remember how it took him till Sunday afternoon to be able to talk about any of it?

Well, by Sunday night he had decided that it might be fun to go to WJHS's Prom and try to have a better experience.  And he thought it might be fun to take his friend, Aschley.  And he thought he'd just talk to her instead of trying to do some big, fancy thing to ask her.

So he did.  And Monday Asch went and bought a dress, so Tuesday Asch and Landon went to buy him a tie.  And he bought some cuff links and buttons.  And a corsage. 

So Saturday they went to Subway for lunch (with her parents, who were driving).  They bowled a couple of games at the bowling alley.  He came home and had a nap.  Aschley and her parents came over, the kids exchanged flowers, and the parents took pictures.  Landon and Asch took Jessie-the-Magic-Car (with Aschley driving) downtown.  They had dinner at the JSMB, where Aschley announced--after being complimented a couple of times while she was in the restroom--that "Mormons are so nice!"  They went to the State Capital building, had pictures taken, and danced, danced, daaaaaanced  ALL NIGHT.  They got home a little before midnight, tired and sweaty and all smiles.

So Landon had a fabulous Prom experience and announced on Sunday morning, "I'm definitely doing that again.  It was a lot of fun!"

Bragging #1


This is the dress Briana made for her senior project. Isn't it lovely? She's a lovely seamstress, and she worked very hard on this dress.
Briana was asked to prom by Derek, and they had a great time. They went with about 5 other couples to dinner and to the dance. Then they all went to one of the boys' houses for ice cream.
Prom was held at the State Capitol building. Briana looked like a princess. She's so beautiful!

Things I'm Looking Forward To...

Another checklist: (This is in no particular order and will change daily.)

1. Briana's report on Prom tonight. She is leaving before I get home from work. She dressed up for me last night so I could oooh and ahhh; and her dad has explicit instructions to get pictures before she leaves!

2. Reflections of Christ. This is a wonderful photography exhibit that our stake is hosting. I get to sing there tonight.

3. A rainy weekend. While I love a good spring rain, I really think we've had spring storms ENOUGH. (This particular part of my list might contain some sarcasm.)

4. Wicked. This one's for real. Spencer's and my turn to celebrate Christmas is in just 4 days!

5. There are 49 days till youth conference begins. I get to have a 5:00 p.m. meeting on Sunday. And make some more phone calls. And do more shopping. And scheduling. And planning.

6. The end of the work day is in exactly 4 hours, 2 minutes.

7. Landon's first lacrosse game is on Saturday. This will be fun.

8. Spencer and I are joining some of my work friends for dinner and playing around on Saturday night. Go Jazz!

9. The Sterling Singers are performing on Sunday.

And that will bring us back to Monday again. :)
