prom

Melanie went off to the "Mormon" prom the other night. She and Rachel went dateless. Proms are so different than they were way back in the previous century when I went. They were so stuffy back in the 70's. . . . or was it just my perception? There was so much pressure to have a date. It's cool that they can go and enjoy a whole group of friends and have fun. These girls have fun wherever they go, I must say.

I was a bit of a lame mom this year. I begged out of shopping for a dress with Melanie, although I was a consultant through text messages and pictures sent back and forth from dressing rooms all over town. I am grateful for Jennifer and Vicki to alter dresses, curl hair, help with make-up and accessorize so beautifully.
