JOSHUA'S SR. PROM!!

I can think back to my Sr. prom and all the excitement that comes with it. Tonight, I just experienced the other side of Prom. The side from the parents point of view. My son wanted to go but had been turned down by the few girls he asked. It was the day before Prom and it didn't look like he was going. Until he got a ride home from school from a friend in our ward. She randomly asked if he was going to which he answered no. She stated she was just going with a group of friends because no one had asked her; and then asked him to join along. When he told me he was going, he was actually shaking! I asked if he was excited or nervous. He stated BOTH!!

So, here it was Friday night and we had some SHOPPING to do. We quickly bought a new shirt, tie and shoes to go with his suite. Had to quickly get that cleaned too. Thank goodness for the 1 hour Dry Cleaning!! the biggest problem was finding a florist that could make a corsage last minute. Everyone was booked!! I finally found one in SALT LAKE!! Luckily I was going to be in Salt Lake the next morning so I could easily pick it up. That night, Josh sighed and said "Mom, thank you so much, I would have had NO IDEA what to do." That's what moms are for!!!

Ran over taking care of the bill at dinner, leaving a tip and all that "date etiquette." I then told him that all the table manners that mom has harped on him for years about, will all come into play tonight!! HE BETTER REMEMBER!!!! I loaded him up with the breath mints, (To get rid of the garlic breath...THAT'S ALL!!) while dad loaded him up with the money. I had to laugh as he put his wallet in his pants and had that cocky look on his face that said, "I got money and I'm going out on the town!"



It was finally time to go and he looked REALLY HANDSOME!! Took him over to his dates house and she looked BEAUTIFUL!! The florist did PERFECT on matching her dress too!! Yes, she's a little taller than him, but that wont matter. They are good friends and joining a big group of friends, I think it will be a blast!!
