The Winter Dance

Saturday January 9th
the adventure began early in the morning
before I could go to the dance, we had to shop for cars
(I found one, yay!)
I arrived back home around 2:00 and I began getting ready immediately
I'm not sure why, but I was kind of nervous for this date
I had Emma come over to help me because I have no idea how to do makeup
I'm like the least girly girl ever.
Anyways, got ready, had a small meltdown when my hair wasn't curling right, got over it, went downstairs where my knight in shining armor was waiting
except, he was in a t shirt and soccer pants...
But he changed and everything was shaping out quite nicely
Of course, before we could leave my mom had to take pictures, a ton of them
I'm really glad she did though, we look really cute :)
Okay, next stop, Austen took me to dinner at Chop House
(I'm pretty sure we were the most dressed up, oh well)
7:00, time to dance
He doesn't really like to dance, but at least he does for me
The dance was absolutely awesome, so much fun
Great friends, good music, even better date
This was by far my favorite dance I've ever been to.
We sang and danced the night away
And then 10:00 came way too quickly
I could've stayed for another few hours
3 hours was not enough, and not once did they play any country music!
So, everyone was leaving and I decided that I was not leaving until they played "Die A Happy Man"
I went to the DJ and requested it
And we danced, and we sang, and it was the perfect moment
And that was it
The night was over

Happy New Year

It's been awhile...
But I'm feeling bloggy
I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas and an awesome start to the new year
I know I did :)
For the first time ever, I got a New Years kiss (only on the cheek)
but hey, it's better than nothing
And Christmas was absolutely fantastic too
My best guy friend got me a GIANT teddy bear and it is so cool!!
He also got me bullet shell earrings which are totally rad because I may have a small redneck side to me
He actually ended up spending all Christmas Day with me and my family (mostly me)
but we had a great time
He also spent all New Years Day with us too..
funny how that worked out
But the big thing that I've been dying to get out is that he finally asked me to The Winter Dance
by the way, the dance is in 4 days
so he may have been a little behind
but it was totally worth it
Anyways, so here's the breakdown:
He picked me up at my house, and we went to dinner with his family to celebrate his birthday
then he took me to see Star Wars (which was supposed to be a surprise except towards the end of dinner his dad asked me what movie we were going to see haha)
then he drove me home and once we got there, he pulled out a dozen roses that he had hid and asked me to go to the dance
I couldn't have asked for anything better
2016 has started off on the right foot.
Last semester of high school, here I come
