Prom 2008

So this is the second year in a row that Kyle has been asked to Prom. I am feeling bad for the girls that the boys arent asking. But I am glad that they arent letting that stop them either. My son was thinking about going but since he still doesnt have his drivers license so he thought it would be stupid to ask. So I think he was a little surprised to be asked by Rachel Olson from our ward. She is such a fun girl! I loved getting to know her and her little sister Charity. She was very clever in how she asked too. She looked so pretty! Her mom made her dress and it was adorable!
Kyle reported that he had a really great time. They hung out saturday and went to a movie. Then she picked him up and they headed off for reservations as P.F. Changs. Then off to dinner. I am still getting used to this whole "city" way of prom. I am honestly shocked how much money it is to go! I still don't understand the traditions here of wearing your attire out to eat. To me it doesnt make sense, mostly because I always spill! Then the wearing your dresses and tux to church the next day. Is this because it all costs so much? If anyone can fill me in about the whole thing I would appreciate it. I don't understand why it cost so much to even go. I guess I will start to learn all of these things. I am just glad that my kids don't feel the pressure of rushing to california to spend more money on disneyland for the day. So dumb and crazy in my opinion. You can have just as much fun doing things that won't make you go broke! I am thankful to have grown up in a small town and had amazing times and not even realizng that you had to spend so much dang money. I had no idea!
I am glad that kyle and rachel had fun and they made it home safely!
