PROM

I finally was asked to prom...! 

And I went.

So one Thursday after my guitar lesson, I was driving home with my dad and when we pulled up there was a huge banner in front of my garage that said "Prom?" Jared then drove up and got out. I hugged him and said yes. (Obviously). 

We went with a vintage look. I spent hours searching antique stores for the perfect vintage hair piece for the 20's hairstyle I wanted. I never found one so I settled on a broach that my dad turned into a hair clip. My dress was long, classy, and red. It had sparkly capped sleeves which inspired the whole vintage thing we were going for. I got my makeup done at Estee Lauder- winged eyeliner and classic red lips. I think Jared looked better than me though. I made him wear a bow-tie, which, despite his pouting, he deemed a "good call" after looking in the mirror at his attractiveness. His tux was black with a white vest. The only red he had was the flower. It was perfect. 

My dress was a bit too long, and I was really scared of tripping going down the stairs at Grand March. I didn't so yay. They have dinner at the school, right after pictures and the grand march. It was pretty good; chicken, ham, and potatoes. During dinner they showed seniors who won random awards, like "bluest eyes... Best smile..." Well, my awesome hunk of a boyfriend won "most smokin' car". I was prettttttty proud of his sexy Mustang and him!

Personally I like the CPU dances more than Kennedy's. I don't know anyone really, so I can dance like a complete idiot and I don't have to face the people who see me every day. Jared does, but he doesn't care. Plus, everyone else dances crazy anyway because most people at his school don't grind. I like that because you aren't pressured to. At Kennedy you look like a weirdo if you don't. At CPU you look like a weirdo if you do. Almost right after the dance started, Jared went up and requested "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. He sings that to me sometimes and we danced to it before and it was really romantic. It was so sweet that he did that. We had fun... even though my dress kept getting stepped on. 

Post prom surprisingly went by really fast. Really the whole night seemed to go by way too fast. They had bouncy inflatables that were fun... no mechanical bull this year but oh well. There just weren't as many fun activities as the year before, but we were still occupied pretty much the whole time. You get tickets for every activity you do, then you put them into buckets to win prizes. Jared didn't win any-he wanted the TV. Every student from his school wins a smaller prize, he got gloves or something but gave it away. They had extras so I got perfume. There was a hypnotist which was fun to watch. Jared went up to get hypnotized  but it only worked on him for like 5 minutes then he fell out of it. I was sad... I wanted to see him dance like Beyonce and be silly. Overall though, it was really fun and exhausting. I'm still recovering from all of this fun craziness.
