Prom 2012

Well slowly but surely I’m getting caught up here…

Van Buren High School Junior/Senior Prom 2012 was held last Saturday night, April 21.

You know, I feel kind of out of it because I can’t even remember the theme…but then again I don’t know if I ever KNEW the theme.  I was just so focused on getting my baby, ahem, my guy, ready for his first prom that I couldn’t think about anything else.  Ever since Heather asked him to go [he’s a sophomore, she’s a junior, therefore, SHE asked HIM to escort her], I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around the fact that he is actually old enough to go to Prom.

Sheesh.

I know I sound like a broken record here, but with every new milestone I just sit back and shake my head and wonder, how did we GET here?!  So quickly it seems…

I really still see Tyler as my little guy,
 

 

Oh my word, is he cute or what?!  I can hardly stand it!

But I sucked it up, and on Saturday we did this,
 

And a note to all your Mommas out there: YES, you can put a picture of yourself with your boy BEFORE you put up a picture of him and his date.  That’s just how it goes.  

 

My favorite picture of the night was of Tyler with his BFF, Hailey…
 

And, yes I’m going to flash back again,
 

Heehee, cutest.thing.ever.

More pics from the night,
 

 

Much to our delight, the after-prom night went very smoothly.  Tyler and some friends went to PB to eat and pick up some new movies; afterwards they all came back to our house around 130am and watched movies.  I breathed deeply for the first time when I knew he was finally home.  Thank you, Jesus.

Another milestone passed!
