I enjoyed seeing many of you last night at prom. It is wonderful to see you all dressed up looking like mini-adults. Tim in a tux was extraordinarily different and April looked beautiful as well. I saw Jessica in a cute, short white number, Ash looking dapper in a tux, Cheresa in a dress instead of athletic attire, Mara with very curly hair, Katy H stuck with the tried and true sparkly dress, and of course, Caleb. I didn't get to see his date, for he claimed he had ten of them. I hope you all had fun, safe nights.
