Day 6- Remember Prom?

Ah yes, Prom Season is here. Do you remember your prom? Well, I dug into the ol Melissa archives and found my Sr. Prom picture (above). And yes, those are my parents, AT MY PROM! I mean come on, they were teachers, so they had to chaperone. But the funny thing is, why is this picture in my Sr. memory book and not the "official" prom picture with my date, Lance Guiou? I did find pictures of us at my house; him putting the corsage on my wrist; us sitting together in a nasty ass green recliner (classic). And my, Melissa sure didn't know how to use make up back when she was 18. I needed a little lesson on how to apply concealer. Oh well. But it was fun going through my book and reliving that day. The theme was "Moonlight Serenade" and I also found my after prom key chain. It was your ticket to get in. It was a casino night theme. Oh the memories.

The reason for reliving Prom is that my neighbor's daughter, Shelby- well tonight is her Senior Prom. (see picture below mine of how beautiful she looks and she's on my Harley for one of her photo opts). And my how Proms have had a major upgrade. She is going in an 18 passenger limo and eating at McCormicks for dinner. THEN, their actual prom is at the Georgia Aquarium. How cool is that? Beats the ol dinner at the FHS cafeteria of chicken or steak with those (I have to admit)yummy red cinnamon dyed apple rings. I thought we were eating high on the hog. But what I really like that was so cool about Prom in Fredonia was the tradition. As a Sophomore, you were servers at the prom dinner. When you were a Junior, it was your classes responsibility to pick the theme and decorate "The Hive" with artwork, balloons and what ever your class budget was. Good memories.

But I am sure that Shelby will have a wonderful time. I hope she takes it all in. I enjoyed my afternoon watching her get ready, taking all her photos, watching her parents glow because of how proud they are of their daughter. And we are proud of her too. It's memories like this, and at Prom that last a lifetime- So, Shelby, I hope you get out there, bust a move and have some fun! Have the night of your life.
