Prom Night 2008

This has been my first prom experience from the male point of view. We have always spent prom day running from nail salon to beauty salon and then rushing home to get the make-up done before the guy showed up at the door. It never happened, by the way...the being ready before the guy showed up at the door thing, that is.

Yesterday was Brian's Junior Prom night. First of all, I have to confess that I never knew how expensive prom was for the guy. I always thought the purchase of all those dresses, shoes, jewelry and beauty treatments had to cost way more than the guy. WRONG!!

Secondly, I never realized that the guy took just as long to get ready. Oh, he didn't go to any salons or anything...but he did have to wash and polish the truck to a high shine, pick up the flowers and make a bank run before heading out the door to meet the girl.

Oh, and by the way, the girl wasn't ready on time for him either. That makes me feel a little bit better about the many times our girls left a guy sitting in the living room with their dad.

Here are a few pictures from Prom Night 2008:

Tell Brian to hide the truck from Brittany when we come over for Meagan's wedding. She has been wanting a Nissan Titan for a long time.

He does look great in a suit and tie. Tell him now that you've seen how well he cleans up, you expect this everytime you go somewhere nice.
