graduation... and beyond.: Senior Prom 2011 ♥

So, my Prom story begins four years ago in the middle of Freshmen year. James and I were dating in October and he had asked me to the Winter Dance. I said, "So, since I'm on a roll, why don't you be my prom date? lol" He said yes and I had just killed two birds with one stone.. or so I had thought. James and I broke up and didn't end up going to the dance together. But, moral of the story is that he has ended up keeping his promise :) Better late then never.

Here is my Saturday timeline with a few pictures along the way. For more pictures, see my facebook.

It was an amazing prom. There was not one thing I would change about it. The decorations were AMAZING, thank you Juniors, my dress fit!!! (thank god), my hair looked fantastic (thank you Jessica!), and I had the best date I could've asked for. He hates pictures and dancing (and for that matter, sometimes people), but he stuck it out and smiled and danced for three hours with me and (I think) had a good time.
I love you, James! <3

We like to make fun of and make faces at each other :P

Typical :)

At the end of the dance, the last song played was Two is Better then One and all the seniors got in a big circle and swayed together and I immediately teared up. It was hard to realize this was the last time we'd all be together (even if I can't stand half of them) before graduation. Of course, once I saw Katie cry, that was that. We stood there and hugged and cried until people started looking at us funny. Then on the way home, James and I were talking and I started hysterically crying again! Who knew Prom was so emotional... But I do love and care for many of the people at MHS and I will miss them so much when I leave... <3

Again.. typical. (:

I have gone to four dances with these girls :) love you <3

bff's (:

After Prom.. oh lord where do I begin. First of all, Rylee played amazingly as always and it was very fun and entertaining, thats for sure. However, I didn't win ANYTHING FOR THE FOURTH STRAIGHT YEAR! it sucks... knowing I can never play the lottery and win because I can't even win a drawing with a 1 out of 50 chance, let alone 50 thousand or more.

Sitting around after prom EATING!

Breakfast at Brandon's was awesome. Pancakes, bacon, muffins.. and after not eating for two days, I was hungry! Once everyone left, it was just me, Katie, Brandon, and James. We all kinda just sat there exhausted and full.. I fell asleep on James and ended up going home a little before 4. What a Day!! But again, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'll prob be posting pics for forever as I get them in. And there will be a video soon!

(PS- I finally got to see my GLEE! So I am a happy camper until Tuesday! And Royal Wedding on Friday!? WAYYYY Too Excited!!)
