What a beautiful evening to take some fun Prom pictures.
It was back to Legacy Park in town to meet Julie and Garret before their dinner reservations.
Brought back memories of my own senior prom, especially since my dress was SO similar to Julie's. My mom still has it, maybe now I could sell it for a lot of money as a genuine vintage antique!
Speaking of my prom, and my mom, I thought about something on my drive back to base tonight.
20 years ago next month was my senior prom (yikes) and I triple dated with my date and 2 of my best friends and their dates.
We all met at my house for some group pictures and then my parents said I couldn't leave just yet. They were waiting for somebody.
Well, it turns out that they hired a videographer to follow us around the ENTIRE EVENING, catching every moment on tape. He stood there while we ordered and ate dinner, he was at the dance, ect.
Mom..................... WHY?
That was REALLY weird.
Did she do that to my sister 2 years later, NO.
Dad...............any explanation?
Just curious!
Love ya both!
Yet another prom side note:
Sam is 2 years older than me. We are both from Air Force families. On our second date we talked about where all we had lived growing up, and we basically followed each other around the country our whole lives, living at the same time in about 5 different states.
Also, I was at Sam's senior prom with a date/friend of mine. It wasn't my high school so I didn't know a lot of people. We also ate dinner that night at the SAME restaurant! An old converted train.
So, I am sure at SOME point we laid eyes on each other, but we weren't planned to meet until about 5 years later.

Too bad I don't have that prom on video, I could go back through the old tape and see if he is in it!

.mom
No grudge at all!
Just something humorious from the past I haven't thought of in a long time.
Just wondered why?
:)
thats neat about you and sam. don't know what your mom was up to....
I think the story of you and Sam is a beautiful one from the beginning and although I had heard about this, it did my heart good to read about it again. Seems like God intended it for sure. Such stories are refreshing in this day and time. Love u both....
