oh prom

June 1st, 2007 by admin

I went to prom this last weekend. I got all dressed up in a red velvet dress, wore lipstick and mascara, and gave my date all kinds of things to hold in his coat pocket. He was unbelievably handsome. I bought him a black velvet suit for the occassion and we had a little pre-prom picnic in Balboa Park. It was heavenly. We were sure that every couple that passed us by was envious. In fact, we feel that way quite often. We feel pretty darn lucky to be together. =)
Prom has been quite the time for firsts for me. Prom 1996 was the first time that I held hands (*gasp!*). I took a sophomore, Trevor John Schmidt, my seminary teachers son, and I can still remember how my whole body tingled as his fingers laced into mine. Prom 1997 was my first “real” kiss, and the first and only time that a date has used Tom Jones on me. Thanks Joseph Allen Wedge. I’d like a milkshake now. ;)

This year my date was not my high school crush, or the flirty tenor in my choir, but the man that I will kiss the rest of my life. He is my annual prom date, my lens cap holder, my ice cream supplier, and I have the feeling that in 20 years he will still offer me his jacket when he sees me shiver. Oh how I adore him.
There is no question in my mind that we are mfeo.

my tonight holds many stupendous possibilities. I hope that yours does too.
laura. =)
