As my daughter was approaching her 16th birthday, she was SO excited that she would have her birthday about a month before the big formal dance this year. But as the deadline to buy tickets got closer and closer, she still hadn't been asked (even though several guys had told her they would ask her as soon as she turned 16!). So the DAY of the deadline, (which was ONLY 3 days before the big dance!!) she finally got asked!! So I went into a frenzy trying to find something for her to wear in just 3 days! We searched everywhere at the stores. (even had a gal open her shop later one night so we could look at her selection) I posted on facebook to see if anyone had anything we could borrow, cause we were failing epically at the stores. (Either immodest or out of the price range). So she got on the phone and called a friend. Her sister dropped the dress off just to see if it "might" work. Turns out if fit PERFECTLY! No alteration necessary. I couldn't believe what a miracle that turned out to be! Thanks so much Rachelle and Sarah! You really saved her!
So here is her date presenting her with her corsage! (He made sure he did it all right, even with the short notice!!)
Carissa wanted to be involved too, so she picked some "pretty yellow flowers" and handed them to them, and absolutely would NOT leave them alone until I took the picture of the "pretty flowers"!!
Here's a close up of the pretty corsage!!
She had a blast at the dance! I can't believe my little girl is all grown up and going to the ball! When did this happen?? I promise you, it was just yesterday that I braided her hair in 2 braids and put her on the Kindergarten bus!
