Prom-tastic

The suspense of waiting at a hair salon is a great feeling. Seeing all the girls walk in focused on looking their best, and bringing in pictures of how they desire to look is hilarious. The transformation on some is incredible, first advances are from the average girl after an hour or so out walks a new sexy women ready to conquer the night! Jaq and I both changed drastically, my knotted hair was out of line and Quetta told me the so. After half and hour or so, my hair had body, and was curled...a stance I'd never seen of myself before. I liked it more than being up; however, Jaq looked great with it up! She had two princess curls down the back, and knots on the top. Someone told Jaq it was impossible for her to get dressed up, everyone’s jaws dropped around 7:30 when I was arm and arm with Wesley, followed by Jaq and Jared.

Back to the beginning...around 5:50, we ran out of the cut place, rolled up all the windows, and traveled back to Jaqs house, to be shocked with tons of her family members. Her two Aunts and Grandmother were in the kitchen, telling us how great our dates looked, and how wonderful we looked already. I was first to get makeup done by one of her Aunts and I was so happy when Jared, and Wes came out of their room all dressed up...they looked so sharp, I couldn't help my smile-I must have looked retarded because I couldn't stop smiling. I yelled for Jaq, and she bolted down the stairs, did a little dance, and yelped with surprise!

Pinning the flowers on both Wes, and Jared was difficult but gratifying! We took a few pictures on the stairwell, and outside. We were off for a night of fun... and about 1/2 hr late for the limo. We had to take more pictures with the limo, and the driver instructed us about no smoking, drinking, or drugs. We had to make a short stop for ice, and four people in our limo got out to smoke cigs not even five minutes into our journey. Grossed me out so much, I couldn't believe it.

We walked into the Crown Plaza to the deans, principles, and superintendent. Mr. Mitchell said hello to me, and remarked about my beautiful gown...but I quickly proceeded inside. I soon saw a few friends, exchanged laughs and compliments. Mr. Mayne saw me and was amazed at how much I can change with combed hair, and nice dress on. I always love to surprise people with how I can look because it is so abnormal for me.

Prom continued with dinner, pictures, and dancing!! I loved it...deja vu for hours dancing with Wesley. All I could think about was doing the same thing only three years ago before he moved to California. It was amazing to believe that his parent let him spend $200 on a plane ticket, and more on limo, flowers, and pictures. Prom ended with a few hugs, and a walk back to the limo.

I stopped short in front of Corrie Haley, a girl I have looked up to for three years now. I wrote her a letter a couple days ago after our last volleyball game. Her along with others were crying, and very upset about our loss and the end of our season. I wrote her to thank you for the little smiles each day, and making my year, and her last season great. In any event... I wanted to thank her in person, and I hope that she understands how much it meant to me each day, even though conversations was difficult, and we were never good friends.

We all led the limo driver back to Leeann’s house, and we changed and were ready for round 2 of prom night! We dropped Wesley off at Tim Horton’s for his mom, and met Justin who was going to camp out with us. We went to Burlingame, and set up camp. Bonnie and Matt came a little later and slept with us too.
Highlights of camping were:
1. Baby time
2. The environmental Police
3. Matt’s mom trying to check up on us and going to my house

We awoke early in the morning, and left at 11.

All in all, wonderful night... can't wait to do it all again this Friday with Steve!! Its going to be great I can't wait!
