the wonderfuly confusingly amazing things we call high school dances

So just thought I'd clarify that this is about... PREFERENCE!! Yep! And that also happened to be my very first formal dance... EVER. And it was a BLAST! I loved it, and I had a great date! So the picture on the top left is how I asked my date :) He was in my school's performance of Seussical the Musical, and I had another friend, who was also in the play, hang it up backstage so that it could be seen :) Pretty genius if I do say so myself. And the big blue "yes" is obviously my answer :) He made me a chocolate cake with his mom's awesome sparkly blue icing. I swear, he knows me wayyy to well ;) It was a really really really really good cake. I took it with me to lunch and it was gone in like five minutes. Haha my whole table helped me eat it. YUMMY!! So now on to the actual date and such. We had planned to go ice skating at Seven Peaks, but when we got there the line was wayyy too long, so we went to Nickle City in Orem. Ohhh baby, that was probably the most fun I've ever had at an arcade. Stephen and I spent most of our time getting tickets from this weird game, but hey, we got tons of tickets from it. They also had a giant touch screen t.v. with Fruit Ninja. I felt like a little kid on Christmas I was having so much fun!!


So as for dinner and getting ready and the dance part, it was awesome! My shoes were basically kind of a bad idea, seeing as I was probably a good three inches taller than my date in them, but hey, they were cute, and I got them on sale for nine bucks. I got my dress for $8. I love finding cute cheap stuff :) And my amazing friend Julie made my cute little corsage for me :) Mine is the one connected to the arm in the bottom left corner withe the white roses. :) I absolutely loved it! We went to my friend Alli's for dinner. There was chicken cordon bleu cooked by her dad, soup, rolls, brownies ( made by me :] ), and Martinelli's. It was pretty darn good! Then we went to the dance, and afterwords me, Kara, Laurel, and Amelia plus our dates were needed to stay after and help clean up because some of the men in our group were on drama council. We didn't leave the school until about 12:45 in the morning. Then we went to Annekke's house for a hot chocolate bar. Yeah, I didn't get home until around 2. But it was totally worth it!




 Oh, and we decided, well more Alli did, that it would be funny to get mistletoe and hang it above her door. So that explains the picture on the top right .... Yeah haha. Then the pic on the right is of (top the group, and the one below is me and my date :)
