My Senior Prom

A few of my girl readers asked if I would share pictures of my prom dress.  Prom was on March 11, so I thought I'd go ahead and share pictures from that night.  This post will consist almost entirely of pictures, so get ready.  The captions will be below each photograph.
prom head shot jpgThis is me right before prom.  You can't see my entire dress here, but you can see my makeup, the front of my hair, and the top of my dress.  I chose a dress that wasn't strapless, but instead had one strap over the shoulder.  Maybe it's just me, but I always feel much more modest when I have a strap of some sort, even if not that much of my skin is covered.  I did my own makeup.
prom hair jpgThis is my hair from the side.  It took about an hour to get done, but it held up the entire night.  By the end of the night, not a lock was out of place.  However, I did end up taking out 36 bobby pins, a rubber band, and three clips after it was all over.
prom out by the car jpgThis is me with my date, Caleb.  Yes, it's the same guy from the prank wars... Muber.  In all truth, we're good friends, no matter how much we torment each other.  Don't you think my corsage is pretty?
prom creepy stare jpg Caleb and I entertain ourselves in... unique ways.  In this picture, we were dancing and watching the people around us slow dance and stare lovingly and intensely into each other's eyes.  In fact, a lot of dates were staring so intensely that they weren't even speaking.  Caleb and I would often chatter throughout the dances, talking about random things.  We began to practice the intense, disturbing stare, looking deeply into each other's eyes without speaking.  Someone managed to capture this in a photograph.

We also had to mimic the awkward prom pose that so many people use when taking their prom pictures.  It's so incredibly awkward.  But we thought we'd take a shot anyways.

So prom was fun.  We made great memories.  I hope you enjoyed my pictures.
