It's that time of year again...

PROM season!! Yes folks, we are here again believe it or not. When every weekend you cannot get a dinner reservation between the hours of 7 and 9, or you walk into a nail salon (ladies, you know..) and the pedicure chairs are filled with High School girls, or you walk into a hair salon and up-do's and curls are all you see! The long, sequined, open-backed dresses come out from storage and the guys strategically plan their moves for asking their dates to Prom.

I LOVED Prom. Any excuse to dress-up, get my hair and nails done, and a reason get out of school early to get all of those things done... I was there. This past weekend was Courtland High School's Prom. For those of you who know, or might not know and are hearing this for the first time, I lead YoungLife at Courtland High School in Virginia. This year, a lot of the kids who come to YoungLife at Courtland were going to prom and we (as leaders) got the privilege of seeing them with their dates and taking pictures with them. It was a BLAST. And of course I eat this stuff up. People dressed up, with dates... it's all so sweet.  

I was so excited that I got to see Ali before she went to left for the night. Ali is hilarious and BEAUTIFUL. She and I could spend hours driving around and talking, or going out for a meal and talking. Always talking. Always laughing. Always having a good time. Thanks for letting me come Al:) You looked stunning...

BEAUTIFUL beautiful beautiful! That's all I can say. Love the sequins on her dress and she did her hair HERSELF. She didn't even get it done - sooo impressed! Good job Al.

I also got to hang out with Jacob and his date Caitlin before they went to dinner in Downtown Fredericksburg. They opted to go by themselves to dinner instead of going with a big group so we had a lot of time before their dinner to play around with the camera. For both of them, this was their senior prom.

Let me tell you... Jacob and Caitlin looked SO adorable. Baby pink flowers. Baby pink dress. Baby pink classy bow-tie thanks to Southern Ties, and two great people. Here are some of our pictures... I had SO much fun with them and they were really good at following my lead. They were naturals at this.

Most girls spend most of their money on shoes and the dress for Prom Night... Caitlin decided to do something a little different. She was smart and wore nude flats that went perfectly with her dress AND she was comfortable the whole night. Smart.

 

 And then they had to go to dinner, they were getting hungry - after all the smiling, all the preparation, all the PLANNING that goes into Prom Night it was time to eat and that concluded our time together. I would do it again in a heart beat.

I love Prom. I love laughter. I love seeing people have a good time. AND I love seeing people dressed up.

Enjoy these pictures!!
