Well, we are finally past the weekend of what I lovingly called "Prom-A-Thon 2009!"
Justin had his senior Spring Formal with our homeschool group on Friday night. It's always THE event of the year, and all the high school kids look forward to it. They have line dancing classes and ballroom lessons for most of the year, leading up to this event.
It's very different from a public school prom, as Justin found out this year! The kids are all friends, they all know everyone, so it's like a great big party where everyone just has a blast. And moms and dads can come, too! Which is always fun!!!
But it looks like this year will be our last one for a little while, at least until Clayton gets into the teen group. Unless, of course, they ask me to do the photos again next year...we'll wait and see.
Anyway, Justin got his outfit all coordinated with his friend, Cayce, who accompanied him. And they looked so nice together, and had such a great time, too.
We were very thankful that he could wear the same outfit for both events! Since he owns his tux, all he had to do was buy an all black shirt and get his tux dry cleaned, and we were set!
Nine of the kids went in together on the cost of a limo, very cool for Justin since he'd never been in one before. They went to Knoxville to dinner at a place I've been DYING to go to...Wasabi! He said it was awesome food, and they had a great time watching the chef cook it there in front of them. It's like dinner and a show!! :) He said they stopped at Wal Mart on their way back to the prom...for a bag of marshmallows!!! I'm sure they made quite a site, all piling in and out of that limo and traipsing through the store in their formal wear!

Here's a couple photos from the Friday night event:
There was an after-party, and Justin finally got home sometime around 3 a.m. Saturday. He was pretty tired, but got up to go do some errands with Dad, grabbed some lunch and then started to get ready for another prom!
He was escorting a girl from church to her senior prom at one of the local high schools. And it was at the very same location he had been to the night before! That was pretty neat.
They have a tradition that they all meet at a park close by the high school to take pictures. It was a CRAZY mess there! Here's a photo of PART of the crowd:

Since I wasn't involved with the photos for this one, I couldn't take any pictures of Justin actually there, but I'm hoping his date has some for me at some point! There was another after-party, and he got home around 3 a.m. but HE DID get up and go to church!! There was no question about that!!
We all were looking forward to a long nap on Sunday afternoon, and it was rainy and cool, just perfect sleeping weather. I'm glad this weekend is over, and now we can move on and focus on finishing up school work, there's field day and a graduation party, then the big day!!! Not much longer now.
