What a Weekend!!

Holy cow!  What happened?  It is Wednesday already?!?  Wowzer.  Sorry.  The days have just slipped past me.

This weekend was pretty eventful, so maybe that explains a lot.  General Conference was terrific!  My favorite part:

Perhaps because I felt it really applied to me personally.  I have much to learn here.

The other exciting bit happened late Saturday night.  About 10:30 PM the door bell rang, and when The Girl got there in her pj's, there was a pie and some flowers....

The note in the pie says -- "Three point one four five nine, Makes the lazy student whine, But give this poor old boy a try. You'll find that it's as easy as pie!"

Then inside the pie was a laminated card with the boy's name who asked her to go to Prom.  It was pretty clever.  He is a good friend, smart, talented and good boy.  And between you and me, this is the boy that I think The Girl has been crushing over for some time.  Not a bad Prom date.

Yesterday there was one more part to this story, thus far.  A neighbor friend told The Girl that Deseret Industries had a "new shipment of formal dresses".  I thought that was weird, since our niece has said that her old prom dresses were available, should The Girl want to borrow them.  So after school yesterday I went with her to DI to have a look.  Frankly I had very low expectations.  But the neighbor was right.  There were NEW dresses there for $25.  The Girl tried a few on and decided on this one:

Ruby rose red color

 A lovely "burnt out" print in the  inset sections.

This beaded fringe on the sleeve is a little "Miss Kitty" for me, but I think she likes it.

Isn't cute?  The Girl and one of her girlfriends found some sale shoes to go with it, so I think her prom outfit is finished!  Out the door, it was about $50.  Not bad at all.
