The official college count is seven out of seven - however we've narrowed it down to two choices, and we will be revisiting one of them this weekend. A decision will be made by day's end on Saturday.... at least that is what this mom is counting on.
The prom........ why do they make it mandatory to have a date? That's fine for the girls who are "popular" by today's standards but what about those whose self-confidence has taken many hits over the the course of grade school and high school?
It will all work out, I know, but the process of getting there is exhausting. I don't have all of the words of wisdom to give - I didn't date in high school - I had bad skin, braces, and very wavy hair that had a mind of its own. I can't offer advice other than to say it will all work out in the end.... this coming from a girl who wore a dress her mom made to the senior prom!
None of my photos have anything to do with this post but they are colorful and fun glimpses of our Easter Sunday.
It will all work out....... I just may not survive it....

Oh no Dot! That sounded stressful just reading about it! I love the pictures. Colleen is SUCH a gem. She is like the prettiest girl in the world. How can she NOT be popular? Poor thing. I hope she gets to go with someone amazing. I am going to pray that she will!
I never got asked ever. All my friends were super pretty. I was popular I think, but boys didn't like me. The college thing has to be unbelievably stressful! I know you will all make it thru!
Been there, done that with the college routine. Trust me Dot, you WILL survive all of this. Before you know it, time will fly and you'll be attending graduation.
Awww, Colleen is beautiful tell her so from me! Prom will be but a memory soon enough.
