Prom, Mudding, and Headless Bloggers

Last night was my school's prom. I love chaperoning prom partly because it's neat to watch the crazy entrances the kids manage. I get to see the lovely dresses the girls wear and I get to dress up too!

Dress: Le Chateau - this was the dress I wore to our wedding rehearsal dinner.
Shoes: Nygard from Sears
Purse (not shown): Danier Leather
Sunglasses (not shown): Blue 60's style Raybans

Big poofy princess dresses were all the rage this year. The dresses were brightly colored and often the guy had a matching flower and tie. They looked so spiffy.

I always like to stand outside and watch the arrivals at the beginning. Some of the best arrivals to the prom were a group of ladies who chartered a city bus which had the bus driver dressed up as a chauffeur. We have a lot of country kids so there were some tractors (clean and shiny ones of course). There was a race car, which dropped off the kids and was promptly pulled over by the police! There were also lots of stretch limos and antique cars. My favorite was a former student who took his truck "mudding" on the way to prom. All the other vehicles were newly cleaned and buffed. His truck was newly "mudded". It really suited his personality!

It was a great night! Watching all the kids boogy down made me a little emotional. These kids (I can't say children and it feels off to call them adults) have an entire future ahead of them and so many things they can accomplish. I only hope that they realize their potential.

P.S. And yes, I'm showing my face. Eeeek! I have realized that my favorite blogs don't feature headless bloggers. I"m going to try to reveal a bit more of my face. I'm going to go slowly; I'm shy.
