Homecoming Dance 2022

Before I start blogging about our awesome trip to NYC, I want to post first about Briana's homecoming dance. 

It was last Saturday and she had a really nice time. I think she enjoyed the dressing up and going out to dinner even more than the dance itself, but she did have a very nice evening. She went with two friends from school.

She fell in love with her dress immediately (and I did too!). It fit her perfectly!

Some pictures in her dress before her friends arrived...

Pictures with her bestie Meredith...

Then Jackson arrived...

It was off to dinner first...

Then the kids headed to the dance. Bri sent me some pics from the dance...

B said the music was a bit loud and she wished the DJ hadn't played so much techno and rap music (she is more of a pop girl), but she did dance to the music she liked and had a good time.

The fact my girl even wanted to go to a school dance was amazing. She is not really a dance type person. But, she missed her 8th grade dance due to the Covid pandemic. She missed her 9th grade dance due to Covid pandemic. Her school didn't offer a homecoming dance for 10th graders last year. This was the first official school dance she could attend. Then a couple days before the dance, there was a threat that Hurricane Ian was headed our way - which made us quite nervous. Thank goodness that didn't happen. So the fact the dance happened and was relatively smooth was a true blessing!

I'm so proud of my gal for going outside her comfort zone and putting herself out there!
