Like, OMG! Like, we survived the prom! OMG!

Well, I can't believe we survived.  If it wasn't for the coffee, I might have gotten in trouble.  At least I got my fluids in for the day...8 cups of decaf later!  LOL!!  I will say this, it was one of the nicest proms I have been to.  Everything was gorgeous.  The food was actually WLS friendly.  OK, maybe not!  But at least I found some chicken tenders that fit the bill.  Did I mention the 8 cups of decaf?  Just checking!  Both Beth and I opted not to go for the chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate chip cookies, or brownies.  See, we can make good choices!   We had tables set up in the corner for the teachers, as well as our own food tables.  The speakers were pointed away from the old fogies, at least it wasn't too loud! Now I will say the DJ was pretty cool.  He played golden oldies before the prom started, then switched dover to a lot of "bump and grind" music.  Now I did not get up to dance.  I only got out of my chair for coffee, remember 7 cups!  Now, if we had some of our resident table dancers there, I'm sure the party would have really gotten started! Anyway, we had a real good time. I will say this, we were a little over dressed, but that was OK!!!They had real good coffee at the Maxwell House.  I think the coffee was Folgers!  Maybe thats why it was so good! Here is a comparison picture from prom 9 years ago and now.  I think there is a little difference.  The pic from last night is a scan of the picture Bill (Susan's husband) did.  Thinks for keeping us in your prayers...we survived!  Oh, I forgot...Bill did take a picture of us sitting in our chairs...I was drinking coffee !!!!! Have a good day, I know we had a good night!

ALL I have to say is Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y'all look better than the teeny boppers!!!! What a beautiful couple. You should have gotten on the dance floor and did a twirl or two. With that much coffee, I'm surprised that you didn't spend the night in the little boy's room. lol

Well I am glad you kids had a good time and you both look marvelous!!!

I forgot to mention this!   R.J. pulled me off to the side before prom and made me make a promise to him.  He specifically asked that I not make his Mama cry.  I had to ask what he was talking about.  He said in every movie he has ever seen, when a girl goes to prom, she comes home crying.  He did not want me to make his Mama cry!   That's my boy!  Always concerned over other peoples feelings!

Ya'll look incredible. You both have come so far and done so well. Oh and Beth, I think I have the blouse that you have on one in the Prom'99 pic so when you shrink out of the one in the Prom'08 pic I would love to have it too. So everyone back off, when she's done with it I got dibs on it....LOL Cheryl

Hi Cheryl,   I wish I could give this to you, but I was "Borrowed" from head to toe!  The outfit came from Jane O, the jewelry from Melinda and the watch from Shelia.  The only thing that was mine was underthings!  Sorry.  Jane will be wearing these again soon, and will be out of them soon, maybe she will pass them on to you.   You look great BTW!   AND you are not old enough to be a grandma!    See you soon! Beth
