Prom.. life moves on

It isnt that i have been putting this post off persay, but i really have been pretty out-of-my-mind busy lately. ok, so falling asleep 4 times yesterday doesnt really reflect that i realize but still. i dont know what my problem was with sleeping so much? i guess i should start at the beginning.

Friday, (yes 5 days ago, i know i am a terrible person when it comes to keeping this up) we had leadership training at Leenerts. i dont know what my expectations were going in to the beginning/end of my night, seeing as it ran from 7-12, but whatever they were, they were eclipsed when i walked in the door. one of the first people i saw was thomas, whom i hadnt seen in 3 weeks i think. i thought that was ridiculous, and he must have too, as we hugged in the kitchen for a while. ... think what you may, just dont stop reading. ne way. so the time was really good. i think i did a pretty good job of getting caught up on CP life, and getting them caught up on mine as well. we played the I've never game, the full contact way. dang. interesting, very interesting. without naming ne names. mullets, speed-demons, alcoholics (not really seriously there arent), dress wearing boys.. i dont want to give anyone the wrong idea about our youth group because it is really an awesome group of people. so friday night was a prelude, a sort of lead in to what was to come. the atmosphere and the conversation, and the all-around good time in general.

PROM
So not getting to bed until 2 might not have been such a hot idea. i woke up around 8 and left to get my passport stuff finished up around 9. i had a jazz gig at Washburn at 10 and got home at about11:20. i got some food, and tried to plan out my afternoon. i did a thorough cleaning inside and out of the car, got the corsage, did some other cleaning, got cleaned up and i got dressed at about 4:50. that was my plan all along. i had to leave the hous at about 5:20, which almost didnt happen because the parents thought they needed some pictures of just me.. definitely unneccessary. its not like i dont always look that good.. hmm.. but ne way, i picked jayne up at 5:30, and we went over to gage park for pictures. pictures, and a whole lot people! there were alot of others there, so the process was pretty long. we headed over to maddie's at about 6:20, and had a 5..6..7 course meal! it was very good. after liftoff (!) we went over to reed underwood's for some dessert. i guess pretty much everyone else had creme brulee, but i had this chocolate and whipped cream thing that was very good. another 3-500 pictures later we left for prom. we got over to school at about 9:30 and got our stuff checked in, which, as nathan made clear, was a bad move, and went in to the dance. i can appreciate that i am not, and maybe never will be a dancer, and i dont even think i could say that i tried my best, but i did try, occasionally. prom was fun. getting my jacket back wasnt. it wasnt getting the jacket, cuz that only took about maybe 2 minutes once i got up there, but even after getting in front of quite a few people, i was in line for an hour and 15 minutes. we finall got out of the school and back to the car at 12. we went and got changed at jayne's, and met jill and austin, our condensed group for prom and after prom, at 12:45. we went in, which almost didnt happen cuz jayne "lost" her ticket. after prom was pretty fun. i definitely was playing the wrong games if it was money and good prizes i was after, but i still had fun. i rode the electric bull, and definitely conquered that. i climbed the rock wall, and lost by inches!! we played this inflatable dodgeball thing, which the girls didnt like very much (go figure), and came away with a few crappy prizes. after-prom got over about 4:30 and we went over to jills from there. there were wayy too many people there for that time of the morning. after breakfast which was graciously provided by jill's mom, we went to the basement where everyone was talking about different things. i was not in the conversation mode by now. it may have had to do with the lack of sleep from the night before, but whatever the reason, i fell asleep in the middle of the floor, while everyone was talking. i was only out for about 20 minutes, but it helped a little bit. jayne was ready to go by then, and i got her home by 6 or so. i made it back to mi casa at about 6:15. im pretty sure i sped all the way home, enticed by a bed, and a shower.. mm.. sounds good now too. i got to bed around 6:30 and was out until mother's day lunch at 1. i most likely would not have gotten up had it not been mother's day, but i figured i hadnt been around a whole lot lately, so i did. sunday was definitely not productive, but that was okay. i went to bed at 8:30 and then woke up at 6 for getting ready for school. so that is prom. i liked it alot. quality time spent with quality people is definitely the way to go. i really appreciated our group of 4, especially jayne who had, no, got, to put up with me the whole night. thank you for making my night memorable. i dont know what next year at this time will bring, probably a lot of stress, but hopefully not.

Softball started. soccer is closing up this weekend. we have governor's cup in town, so people should come out and watch. 3 more days for seniors. very sad. :( :( and i have 7 more days. maybe i will get through this. i mean, i will get through this, and then have my whole summer to look forward to!! its going to be awesome. sorry for the long post. it had been a while though, and a complete run-down of prom was necessary. have a good week. finish strong.
