Quick little insert. I was in a wreck the morning of the prom (which was Friday morning) on the way to school from church. I was driving down a street near the school and I hit a puddle and started to hydroplane. In the very next second I realized that the right-front side of my car was playing with a fire hydrany. Two "mini-mircales" occured right then. The first was that the hydrant didn't start spewing water everywhere. The second is that the airbags didn't deploy, which would add a lot of money to the repairs. The car still runs, but needs some repairs to be street-legal again. Everyone involved was OK.
Back to Prom
Shaylon and I drove down in my mom's minivan. Oh yeah, it was HOT! After we picked up Sydney, we went to the dinner at Tanglewood. The food was ok, but the lasagna was a little sketchy and the salad was sparse. What was really funny was that Kelsey's plate had - literally - about 4 small pieces of lettuce on it :) We ate a little bit and then went to Dairy Queen for a blizzard. Another small note to take into account before I describe the dance. Shaylon broke his arm on Thursday and was wearing a half-cast half-sling on one arm and taking lots of pain medication! Ok. We got to the dance and had a pretty aweosme time. The funniest was Shaylon. His medication started wearing off and I could tell his arm was killing him. He had his second round of medication (which he took at the dacne) and 15 minutes later he was going crazy...no pain whatsoever. Plus he developed a strange habit of laughing at things that weren't really funny....at all!
And, saving the best for last...
I got to go with Kelsey. Let me just say a quick wow! That was the first thing I thought when I saw her there. She looked beautiful...absolutely beatutiful! When I first saw her I think my heart stopped and I forgot how to breathe. You know the feeling, or maybe its just me :) Don't worry I didn't suffocate. And also allow me to say that not seeing Kelsey for a month was far too long! Kelsey summed up my feelings best when she said that we still get to do this two more times, since I'm going to her prom and she is going to mine. Being around Kelsey is just fun. Sorry to indulge on a personal note, but I will continue :) The more I get to know her the more I love being around her.
Another part that was fun was hanging out with Sydney and Shaylon. I think being in a group typically tends to be more fun while the solo dates tend towards the romantic side. Oh yeah, anyways on with Prom. We left the prom a little bit early to go to Stephanie's house where we watched part of Madagascar. It was more just hanging out since everyone was walking around just doing whatever. We left about 11:20 give or take and I took Sydney and Kelsey home (of course Shaylon was there too). I got Shaylon to his house about 130 and I made it home by 2am. Overall it was such a fun night! I've never had as much fun at a prom as I had last night. (I think it was the company :) actually I know so. And one thing that was a lot better than school prom was the dancing. Anyways, that is a different story for a different time (likely after my prom). And now I depart for some chores and other such things. Oh yeah, before I forget, HUGE thanks to mom and dad for letting me go and being so cool about the whole thing. I mean, not only did I take their van, wreck my own car, and come home at 2am, they still understood and I think they are awesome! Now I really have to go, so i bid thee Audieu!
What a neat post! I'm glad you had such a good time! And hopefully you will be home on time next time!!!!!!
I will most definitely try! Thanks again Mom and Dad for letting me go, it was soo much fun! And next time I'll make more pictures...just for you :)
sounds like a really fun night. i think you're right about the company...that's really what makes it fun.
i'm upset there are no immediate pictures to go with this post. i would have loved to have seen the stunning kelsey!
i thought kelsey seemed really nice in the 2 seconds i got to meet her. (although you know i love even that!) glad you had a nice time!
Yeah, Sorry about the whole pictures deal, Mom gave me her camera but I definitely forgot to take any pictures. Oh well, I will post the pictures from brother Riska as soon as I get them.
Well I'm glad you got to meet her. And honestly, lets not kid ourselves, who couldn't like Kelsey?!? She really is a lot of fun, soo nice, very funny, not to mention smart and humble, strong in the gospel....
You get the idea :)
But I hope you guys get the chance to really get to know her, hopefully something will work out this summer maybe (before we--kelsey and I--both leave for college....what a scary thought)!
where is kelsey going?
i like this song...Anthem of Our Dying Day...
Thank you, I really like the new playlist I have on here now. Check around for "I'd do Anything," it's now in rotation.
Where is Kelsey going to school? She's going to BYU-I
i've tried & tried to hear i'd do anything, but so far no luck.
ah-ha....;)
