OK so I stayed back from the annual St George, Champion Production, Dance Competition this year, due to prom. Well not my prom, but Alissa's of course! I missed Sweethearts this year and I promised I would be there to help with Prom. Alissa started the day with getting her nails done and then Bronson and her went with a group of friends on a "DAY DATE";
(for any of you outside of Utah, this is a crazy (Stupid) tradition the teenagers have that gives them more opportunity to spend more money, it's nuts! They spend the day together doing something casual and fun, then all go home and get ready for the big dance, So if you are going with someone you really do not want to be with, it turns out to be a long, long day! )
Back to the Day date, they went to IHOP and ate and then to Nickle Cade and goofed off and played games and won tickets (Like Chuck-E-Cheese) Alissa made it home with 1 hour to get ready, mind you her dress takes 30 minutes to get on - I am not kidding (Thanks cousin Brooke for letting us borrow the Barbie dress) Hair done , check, Make-up, check, Dress on, check, Dress laced up - double check, Converse on, check, jewelry on, check, now the infamous hoop skirt....OK This was a sight to see, Picture Mom under (i mean completely under) Alissa's dress trying to get her to step in the invisible hoop skirt and mom pulling it up and tieing it around her waist, under her dress. Chris comes in and wonders where mom is, Quite the sight to see and yes with sweat dripping down my face, The hoop skirt is in place and Alissa is ready to go - Crap we forgot to brush our teeth before we put on the dress (luckily she went to the bathroom prior to putting on the dress) - So Alissa bending over the sink, with much carefulness, brushes her teeth without a mishap - and is ready to go! Where's her Date? Forgetting the Corsage at home, Bronson is running a little late, but makes it there in record time and they look awesome! The report after midnight, was; it was awesome, they had fun, Ate at Tuscano, Went to the Capitol for the Prom, took pictures, and went to a friends grandparents house, next to the Draper temple, and went swimming in there indoor pool. Until next year PROM is over - What a relief!
