Our first PROM!

Can you believe that Isaac and I had never been to prom?  Nope, neither of us ever went while we were in high school. He never asked and I was never asked.  It really wasn't too tragic, and I think we were actually pretty proud to say we'd never attended.  Well, now we're even more proud to say we went to prom!!!

Isaac works with special ed students at Evergreen High School, and they host a prom each year with other local schools so these kids get a chance to get down and experience the normal high school rite of passage.  Isaac saw it as a chance to get me out on the dance floor and I saw it as a chance to wear a party dress -- heck yes! We were all about it!

We got all dolled up and had Luke (Isaac's brother/co-educator) take our pictures before we headed out to dance the night away.  My man looked GOOD in his shirt and tie!!

I think the best thing about the night was that there was a room full of high school students who WANTED to dance with their teachers!  They are some of the sweetest, funniest, most random, loveable kids around!  I admit, even in a room where all the kids are dancing like they haven't a care, and it didn't matter what you looked like doing it, I was still nervous about showing off my lack of dancing skills.

Thankfully Isaac loves me anyway and led me out on the floor when I was comfortable.  We had a blast and there were some songs we knew from when we would have been at prom. It was a hilarious, fun-filled night and we're already anticipating next year!  Note to self: wear COMFORTABLE shoes, not just cute ones! eesh! My feet didn't recover for at least 24 hours! But man they looked CUTE!  I guess that's proof that I am sometimes very foolishly girly.

I love this man and he loves me!
