Winter Formal: Jazz it Up!

     OK, Winter Formal yesterday was AMAZING. I went to bed really late stressing out about Winter Formal, and I thought I was going to sleep in really late, but I didn't because my siblings jumped me. Let's just say that they did not wake me at 6 AM. Whew! So, ya, my mom and I went to JoAnns to get some stuff for my dress. Then we were at Payless 20 minutes before it opened, so we went to Target. I gasped in surprise when I saw size 13 shoes, and was freaking out about the fact they had oxfords in my size (We didn't get them, because they weren't a color I wear that often). We drove all the way across the street back to Payless and we walked in as soon as it opened. They were having a sale, so not only did I get shoes for Winter Formal, but I also got black sandals. Halla! Shoes are great. Oh ya, and we got flowers at Safeway for the boutonniere and corsage. 


     We got home, I blow dried my hair... put my hair in hot rollers... mommy fixed the weirdness of the sleeves... I did my make-up... mom made me put on my unfinished dress on with my purty silver shoes, and walk around the house showing my siblings the prettiness. I was so tired of changing out of my dress into sweats that I just wore it to my cousins (to drop off the flowers so that my aunt can make the flower stuff), and to my grandparents so that my grandma can finish the dress. My grandma did my hair in a french roll, and she did an amazing job.

Looks 20-ish, right? Hehe :)
     Unfortunately, my hair fell out during one of the last songs, so this is what it looked like when I got home:

     Anyways, I was a little late to my friend's house to do her hair, but I got it done! I poofed her bangs, poofed her hair, braided hair from the sides, pinned them with sparkly bobby pins, and curled the rest of her hair. It looked so cute!
     Because I don't have my license and because there was no room in my friend's cars for me and my date, he came and picked me up.

   This is the second time my whole life I had to do this and I failed! haha

This face says it all: "Eeeee! This is hard and scary!"

     And of course, the guy gets the easy part: Slide a pretty corsage on the wrist.

     We met up with another couple in the group to take pictures.  After a lot of pictures, another couple showed up.
     Funny moment! We were posing for a picture when we heard someone scream behind us. Two thoughts crossed my mind: 1) Someone got injured really bad 2) Someone in our group showed up. It was neither of those. It was a group of elderly people. The man who screamed said "Sorry,  I was just trying to get you guys to smile!" We asked them to take a pic with us, and they did. It was awesome!
     We took more random, goofy pictures than serious pictures. For example:

None of the other couples showed up, so that stinks for them :(

     We drove to my friend's house for dinner, where the rest of the couples were. We had a potato bar, salad, and chicken noodle soup. Yum! For dessert we had this delicious chocolaty-minty-cheesecake stuff. There were laughing wars, and chatting, and quoting Kid History. It was fun :)

Here's a pic of the whole group before we left for the dance :) I love fedoras.

     The dance itself was amazing! The place was beautiful! For almost every Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus song, we explored the gardens outside. Besides that, we danced every song! Mostly hustle. I taught him basics and a few simple moves and then he would make stuff up! It was epic yet tiring! So it was good that they played songs we disliked, because we got to have a breather! Haha. The DJ called the guys up to do a dance-off, and if it wasn't for the guys who can robot dance and break dance, I think he should have won! It was fun watching them dance though :) We were both so wiped out! The bottoms of my feet hurt, but the dancing was worth it!
 
     I would say that overall, Winter Formal was a success! :D If you go to my school, how was your winter formal? :)
