My last "formal dance" in high school was a success. I really had a great time, even though I spent most of the day with sophomores. Our day date was probably the shortest I've been on, but it was also a really great time. First we went to Classic Skating, skated around for a while, and then played some DDR (AHHH!! Too many notes appeared at once!!!) and then we swung by Jamba Juice. Chelsea, I think you ended up with the energy boost, because I surely didn't! :)

We dropped the girls off to get themselves ready, and I spent the next 3 hours doing basically nothing. Haha, I love that part of formal dances, while the girls are getting all fancy, guys don't really do anything. It's always fun.

Then we picked them up to take pictures. We were there at about 5:15, and there was NO ONE there!! It was so weird/cool to just get our pictures taken so fast. Then we drove down to Provo, to eat at one of my favorite Japanese restaurants: Tepanyaki.

The food was amazing, need I say more?

We got out of Tepanyaki REALLY early (earlier than we planned) and there was still about an hour before the dance would even start, so I suggested we stop at my house. So we did. My mom had my dad take about a million photos of us, which was fun, and (this is really weird, and totally NOT planned) we were ALL wearing green. After the photos, we vegetated on the couches while playing Super Smash Bros. in our formal wear. It was a blast.

(Sorry the lighting is a bit weird, my dad's camera takes three pictures at a time, each with a different light setting, which makes the picture a lot easier to work with in the photo editor. I just directly uploaded these, without playing with them at all in iPhoto.)

We left my house and went to the dance, which was really fun. Ya know, the whole dancing thing, loud music, friends, etc. They had an iMac there, with photo booth installed, so we took some silly pictures. *giggle yay for computer effects.



After the dance, we remember that Kim had locked her keys in her car, so after trying to unlock it by cell phone, we called the cops to come do it manually. By the time that was done, it was about midnight, but we still decided to stop at Krispy Kreme for doughnuts. After ordering the man asked, "Will that be all of this doughnut transaction?" and we drove forward and asked him if this was the "portal of goodness." Turns out it was, because he gave us our doughtnuts for free since we were a prom group! woot woot! Then we took the ladies home. And I drove the Mercedes home feeling pretty good about my "Senior Prom," to which I took a sophomore cheerleader. Weird. Cool, but weird. Anyways, I had a great time, and can't wait to see our professional photos! Thanks again everyone for making Prom a great time!
