Anyway, our day activity was fun, we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. It really is a fun place and there is so much to see. Then I got home only to find that my family wasn't. Panic attack! I needed to hurry and get ready, my hair done, makeup, (all the stuff you do to get ready to go to the biggest dance of the year). They came home just in time (45 minutes before I had to go) and my oldest sister did my hair. She did a fabulous job. It looked fantastic. My new sister has a friend who let me barrow a dress and all it needed was a shrug. I liked it plus the shrug made it modest. He came to pick me up and we did the official flower exchange. I'm telling you now watch out girls, we have the hard part. I totally forgot how to put his on his coat. So luckily Dad stepped in to help. We left after a brief picture and an introduction to my family who was all present (sitting on the couch and whispering) and watching.
We went for dinner at Romano's Macaroni Grill. It was really good. I didn't finish it though because it was a huge portion. I felt bad since he had paid. At one point a waiter walked over with a note for my group. It was from some other couple or patrons at another table that was unknown. (I'll let you read it in the picture)......Yeah Man! They were so nice. I didn't feel as guilty for not finishing now. They were sweethearts. It makes me want to do it sometime, like as a tradition. Let's just say that dinner was great.
The dance was held at the Capital Building. We went up a balcony of stairs and seperated to each side, boys and girls. (If you can imagine) When it was time they called the girls name and who escorted them (my date) and we met in the middle of the stairs. He knelt down and gave me a red rose and walked me down the rest of the stairs while everyone took pictures. I guess it's a tradition. The first dance we got was with our parent. So I got to dance with my Dad and it was very nice, fun, sweet....etc. I loved it. Then we took more pictures and parents had to leave after that. It meant the world to me that they came! I love them so much.
