Don't You Just Miss Formals?

I was looking through my high school photo albums and I was reminded of how much I miss Homecoming and Prom! I thought I'd share with you all my high school formal dance scrapbook.
Starting from left to right, we begin with my first formal high school dance. November 1995 Homecoming. I don't remember a lot about the night, not even the guy's name! 1995-1996 was my Sophomore year but my sister's senior year. I was attached to AM's hip so every friend she had I tried to make them my friend. It finally worked with Joe. He was a sweetheart of a guy that was a fabulous clarinet player. We all made fun of him though because he moved A LOT when he played. Anyway, he invited me to be his date to his senior prom (which was also my sister's senior prom). AM was really cool to let her little sister go to her prom and sit with her friends.
My Junior year I went to Homecoming with my boyfriend at the time, Jim. This picture was taken in his living room with both our mothers present.  As that year went on I finally started to make some great friends. By the time May came around I had a best friend named Kelly and a great guy friend who went with me to many formal events. I went to DeMatha's Junior/Senior Prom with Pete and we all road in a limo that had a hot tub on the roof! It was awesome...But the water cooled down really quickly.




My junior year I technically went to Seton's prom with Nick though I had a huge crush on John Paul and spent the whole time with him! The theme for the prom was "If Only For One Night." It was so fitting because that was the one and only time I ever kissed John Paul.
So that brings me to my Senior year. That year I found the most beautiful red dress that I felt absolutely gorgeous in. My good friend Pete and I went to his Homecoming as well as mine together.  When May rolled around I went to DeMatha's prom with Pete but he had a girlfriend that went to my school and, of course, went with her to that dance. I decided to go with my other good guy friend Brandon DeBow who was dating my best friend Kelly. That sounds a lot more confusing than it was.   I think I had more fun the times I went with friends than the times I went with "boyfriends."
I miss going shopping for the gown and I miss all the girls coming over and getting ready together. Unless you are Greek you don't have the opportunity to dress up in college.
Hope you enjoyed my Formal Dance Scrapbook!
