Senior Prom, 2011

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.
This 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.
This 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.
This 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?
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.
Doesn't Ali look pretty too?
And here are some of my best friends with all of our dresses.  From left to right: Rebecca, Rebekah, Ali, me, Brently.
And I had to show you a picture of me and my very tall friend, Zeek.
Caleb, me, Ali...
Making silly memories.
And of course, after prom we had to go to a little after party at a church to hang out.  We played Just Dance 2 (which I won the first time I'd ever played), Twister (which I did not win), and Truth or Dare.

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