prom proposal....

while i was at work... J'son came over to my house with his parents to decorate my room. i had no idea any of this was going on. right after work i had to go to young women's which went really late because we went to a play. when i came home, the house was dark and i couldn't find my mom. Daniel said that she left some laundry on my bed. so i was going to put my stuff down in my room when i noticed it was hard to get in the door.... there were streamers all along the inside of my door that i had to break through to get in. my mom was standing on the other side of the room with her camera of course. there was confetti EVERYWHERE. i still don't have it vaccumed up. on my bed there was a cake which had an unfinished message. i had to use the balloons, which had a letter on each one, to figure out the rest of the message.

a couple days later, my brother's friend from california came to visit. my mom took us to J'son's house right after school while his mom drove him around doing some errands. it took about an hour to finish, but it turned out great... i did a "string along" all the way through the house (using a whole scane of lime green yarn), that led him up to his room where there were even more streamers and more confetti. we hung a pinata in the corner which he had to break open to figure out a hang man message. there was candy with letters on them, regular candy, and a whole bag of confetti in the pinata. the message told him to go look in the garage where we had a "crime scene" which had a reply to the prom proposal.

first date...

sorry it took so long to write about the dance. i've been pretty busy the past week. :) the date was really good. i had him wait upstairs while i finished getting ready since i had work and didn't have all day ;) then we took a ton of pictures (we BOTH have scrapbooking moms so it took about 20 minutes to get out the door) j'son's parents drove us to the high school for the dance. we had a good time dancing and hanging out with some of his friends. the dance, my mom picked us up. we went by McDonalds to get a shake. he said he'd pay but my mom said no. haha. then he just got water. i wonder if he would've ordered something else if he was paying. :) after we got the milkshakes and water we drove around salem for about a half hour. my mom finally decided it was time to go home, so we dropped him off and headed home.... that was basically the whole date. :) hope to talk to you all later.. (thanks by the way for the calls haha)

UpDaTe :)

during fast and testimony meeting on sunday, this little boy got up and told an awesome story. he said he was at his friend's house one day, and his friend didn't get along with girls. but there were a couple of girls who wanted to play with them. the little boy's friend said "you can play, but you have to be our slaves" the little boy asked his friend "why don't we make them our queens instead of our slaves. then we will be their servents." his friend let the girls be queens, and the boys were their servants. the little boy said that his friend started to get along with girls then. i thought that was really cool because our lesson in seminary today was on womanhood, so it tied in completely. really makes you feel special hearing a little boy in primary get up and tell us how he made some girls feel like queens.

yes, i don't know if you've already heard, but i'm going out on my first date on saturday. we're going to the sweethearts masquerade dance. his name's J'son and he's a member of the church. j'son's dad offered to let my dad borrow a shotgun and my dad said he's going to sit on the front porch cleaning the shot gun. then daniel said he's going to be sitting cleaning his BB gun. haha whatever happened to the baseball bat?? i'll post pictures because i'm sure my mom will want to take some.

love ya!
