Luke attended his first prom as a Sophomore with his Junior girlfriend Abby. They started talking and attending youth group together in February. Her mother like me, limited how often they got to see each other. After a month and a half, Luke officailly asked her to be his girlfriend in person with flowers. He is such a romantic little gentlemen. When they talked in Feburary, they decided on going to prom together within a few days and then got to know each other. I went with Luke to meet her when he had to sign papers to attend her prom. She seemed very cute and giggly. Later we invited her to come to the house to meet us and Mark and I sat out around the fire pit and talked. It was awkward to say the least. Luke saw very little of his new freind other than youth group. Before long it was prom. Luke got measured for his tux and picked it up by himself. On prom night, I was invited by the other moms to come for the piture session. They knew I had a "good camera" eventhough the iphones take better pictures than my camera anymore. Luke left thehouse before lunch and said he would see me later he was going to get ready at Abby's house. That made me a little sad that I would miss out on seeing Luke get ready and taking those photos at home. The photo session was at the Laramar Ball Room in Fort Dodge. i had never been there and was excited to see it and to see all the kids dressed up. I thought it was just going to be Luke's group of 6, however the location was the spot for many others. Oneof the moms had already planned how she wanted to set up for photos in front of the bar with fancy glasses. I personally did not care for the bar scence for a bunch of high school kids. Ut was fun to see Abby's personailty come out and to see Luke all dressedup in a tux. He looked adorable and he and his date made the cutest couple. The orange dress and tie were really a good color choice and the blue tux looked so sharp on Luke. They went on and had supper and I headed to the gym for the grand march. Mark and his parents drove to it but never made it inside the gym. It was just too musy for Orrie with his new knee. I was sad Mark missed it all. My parents were there for the grand march too. From there the kids had rpom and after prom games food and activities. Luke said he enjoyed it and was glad he went.
