Granddaughter's prom

9 years ago

Hope I can remember how to do this (post a pic). My granddaughter Brianna went to her senior prom Saturday. I know she had the time of her life.

I will be seeing her and meeting her date (him for the first time) in about 10 days when I go to Atlanta. I will be there for her graduation..so proud and excited to be there.

The spring fling is in the morning, I'm excited. I know I'm new to the forum and to starting my own gardens but I'm still excited about the gathering and getting to meet so many new people. I haven't really introduced myself, so I'll give a small bio. My name is Rachel,I'm 23 years old and I live NE OK, near Tulsa. I'm originally from CA but my father was in the army when I was younger, and well...this is where we ended up. I've been with the same wonderful man for the last five years and we plan to get married. We bought a house, a fixer upper, this past fall and the front and back yards are in desperate need of plants, lol. I grew up with a wonderful mother, who loves plants and gardening, so Im really excited about fixing up my yards. Also, I work at a Lowes, in the outside lawn and garden, so I spend just about everyday taking care of plants and helping people select the right plants. I was going to bring a painting and a stuffed owl for door prizes, but my friend really wanted the painting so I'll try to find something else. Also, I found the seeds that I collected from my mothers garden, from this past fall. I'll bring them incase someone wants some. That way I'll have something to trade, and won't feel like such a mooch if someone gives me something. : ) I hope everyone sleeps good tonight and I can't wait to meet all of you. -Rachel

$1000.00 for PROM!
Q
Comments (28)
I'm going through the same thing here, myself! DD is a high school senior and we were out shopping for her prom dress a couple of weeks ago. Not only was I floored by the prices of many of the dresses but by the styles of many as well. Skintight (and I mean very, very form fitting), and many strapless or with very lowcut bodices and/or backs! Thankfully DD wasn't looking for one like that but she did comment many times during our shopping that I was acting like a prude (LOL)! With her being a 5'7" size 3, we had a really hard time finding a decent dress at a decent price. But we finally, thankfully, found her "dream dress" at Dillards. Like many of you have already mentioned, the thought of spending close to $1000 on a prom sounds like an awful lot to me, but perhaps we just live in a part of the country where folks don't spend that much. I know that DD and her close friends won't be spending even half that. I did hear that both Albuuquerque and Santa Fe were having free prom dress events last month, which I thought was such a great and thoughtful idea. I'm wondering if any of the restaurants around here will be having specially priced, budget-friendly prom night dinners. That would be much appreciated by both kids and parents. Lynn

Thank you all for you comments about how gorgeous Shaylah is. She gets great grades in school and plans on going onto college. Leslie, funny you should mention Riverdance. She competes in Irish Stepdancing and is a beautiful dancer. Shannon says she has a heck of a time buying jeans because her legs are so muscular.

I agree with everyone else--wow, what a couple of beauties!! Your dgd looks beautiful in her dress and her hair is stunning. I want to mention that my dd also went with a group of girls, as did one of her sisters; my middle dd went with a "date" who was just a good friend, with a larger group of friends. They all agree that going in a group is much more fun that just a single date. One more thing that I find funny is that it's perfectly acceptable for girls to go with a group of girls, but boys absolutely will not go with a group of boys. It seems that the girls all dance together (fast songs, of course,) but boys don't.

Awww, thanks everyone...making me cry here.

I know a few of you folks realize how young Brianna was when I first got on the internet and came to the KT.

And you're so right Lonestarlady/Lynda, time goes by way too quickly! I remember when you didn't have any grandchildren and now look!!

Haven't seen my son or the grands in about 3 yrs. and have never been to Atlanta where they now live. So looking forward to this trip.

When we had our 50th anniversary back in March, my Missouri family came for a week.My son,his wife and my three grandchildren and my first greatgrandson.He was already 16 months old and it was so great to be with all of them.We visit on Skype so Jayden knew who we were. Have a wonderful time.

Sandie, I know that March anniversary was so special for you, Jim and the family. Not too many chances in this life to share those special times with so many loved ones.

Brianna is beautiful, isn't she? And she has the sweetest heart and soul..so does her little sis. Can't wait to be with them again after all this time.
