Prom was on Saturday. ^_^ It was raining pretty heavily, so the drive was pretty slow, but at least I made it there safely. Laura's mom waved me into the garage so Laura's dress wouldn't get wet when she got into the car. Laura opened the door to let me into the house...... and she was sooooo gorgeous! :D I changed in her bathroom, and her mom took pictures of us with their digital camera. Some of Laura's neighbors had also come over to see her dress. After pictures, we headed over to Vino's (a nice Italian restaurant) for dinner with Ryan and Sammy. As always, they were both insane. The food was great though. We got to the dance around 7:00 p.m. and got in line for Grand March. For those of you who don't know what Grand March is (like I didn't), the couples slowly walk one by one through a lit arch and smile as their pictures are taken. Lots of parents come out to see it. It was fun, and as always, Laura looked beautiful, and I looked like a complete dork. ^^;; Afterwards, we headed down to the actual dance and talked with some of her friends for a while. When they started playing some slower songs, Laura and I made sure to take advantage of the situation. They didn't play ALL that many slow songs. While we were dancing, some guy with a camera and REALLY BRIGHT LIGHT started filming us. :D Lots of air time, baby! When the slow songs stopped, we would just hang out and talk with her friends. When they'd come back on, we'd dance again. :) Laura even got me to swing dance! It was a lot of fun. ^___^ The post prom party was at the bowling alley. It lasted from midnight to 3:00 a.m. They had free bowling, free drinks and pizza, karaoke, a pretty decent magician, and prizes. Of course, the best part was just hanging out with Laura. :D We were both really tired by this point, so we pretty much just sat down together for most of the party. After they gave out prizes and sent us away, we headed over to Perkins with a bunch of her friends to get breakfast. Laura and I were going to split some French Silk Pie, but Perkins was out! We split a chocolate shake instead. Mmmmm. ^__^ I was really tired at this point, so I don't remember much else that happened there. Laura wanted to get some flowers for her mom for Mother's Day, so we ran over to Wal-Mart and wandered around for a while. After that, we went back to Laura's for a while to watch a movie. That didn't really happen... She put in Shrek, we sat down on the couch, and zzzzz.... we were out pretty fast. ^_^ Around 8:30, she woke me up so I could come back to Ames to move all of my stuff from Helser to Friley on time. And that's basically the whole experience. It was a LOT of fun. Sometimes people build up so much hype for prom that they don't enjoy it as much as they thought they would. However, I enjoyed it way more than I expected. Spending so much time with Laura was absolutely wonderful. She has pictures over on her journal. =]
