Senior proms..........fun stuff right? Not always I'm afraid. Often girls spend the day getting a hairstyle they don't really like, wearing more makeup than normal, wearing dresses that are uncomfortable and shoes that aren't the normal teen favorite-flip flops.
Although these young teenage girls may look like a princess on the outside, for many they are completely miserable on the inside trying to walk around (or God forbid dance) in very high heels all while trying to keep everything covered that needs to remain covered (if you know what I mean.....and if you don't and you have a daughter you will understand when you attempt to find an age appropriate classy prom dress one day)

But if that isn't enough they then put on smiles and have their pictures taken with people who aren't always very nice to them or that they don't necessarily enjoy being around. It is suppose to be what great memories are made of..........Right?
I imagine that many of you can think back to your own high school prom and remember that for yourself or someone you knew your anticipated special night wasn't quite what you had long hoped or dreamed it would be.

Just a masquerade..............
Well, as a mom, you want your child's prom to be filled with the stuff that great memories are made of. Complete with a classy dress, a classy date, and a classy attitude.
You want to trust that your children are going where they say they are going, doing what they say they are doing, and arriving home a few minutes before you expect them.

You hope they laughed (the genuine kind) and smiled and enjoyed spending time with their friends........and coexisted with those they have little in common with. You hope everyone in attendance is able to leave with smiles and return home safe and sound.
I am very fortunate to be able to say that my daughter had the time of her life last night.
She had the (in my opinion.....it is okay to disagree) classy dress (check), she had a classy date who is one of her best guy pals (check), and she said it couldn't have been more perfect which = good memories (check) and I am so very thankful.

I am very happy that my daughter and her date had a stress free and problem free night last night. Complete with ribs they had at the prom (nope she didn't mess up her white dress) dancing and laughing, then laser tag to follow, and finally making home on time.
JUST PERFECT!
JUST PERFECT!
Everyone deserves that..........don't they? I think yes. I hope you agree that she looked absolutely beautiful.......
Brother and Sister
Brother and Sister
She and I
She and her dad
She and her date
and simply stated, my "Jewel" of a gal
I thank you Lord for allowing her to have this much needed and much deserved night.........without a need or a desire for a mask.
