High School Prom

May 1st was Kennedy's High School Prom. She and her friends really wanted to go but had not been asked yet. But heck, it's the 2000's right? Why couldn't the girls invite the boys to go to prom? So Kennedy asked her friend Mason to prom. He said yes but then she had to stress about all the details. Like, who was going to pay for the tickets, the flowers, the dinner, the pictures...? I told her she needed to be prepared and willing to pay for everything since she asked him. She agreed that would be fair but deep down was desperately hoping Mason would prove to be a chivalrous man! Well, Mason was quite the gentleman and offered to pay for everything and let Kennedy get the dance pictures.
So the plan for the day of prom was to go get manicures and pedicures, go get her hair done, go get her make-up done and then get dressed and meet up with the group for pictures. Holy cow! I didn't even put half that time into my wedding day! I just woke up, did my hair MYSELF, like I always styled it, did my make-up MYSELF like I always wore it, put on my dress MYSELF and got married! Kennedy was trying to even convince me that she needed to get acrylic nails just for that night! So this whole process started about 2:00 in hopes that they would be ready for a group photo at 5:00. No such luck! These girls should have started about 9:00 in the morning. Everyone was running late. We ended up not getting any group photos before they left and they made it to their dinner reservation about 30 minutes late. One of these photos shows Kennedy on the phone calling to see why her date still isn't here yet.

They went to Macaroni Grill for dinner but Kennedy and her date ended up eating Chipotle burritos (inside Macaroni Grill). After being seated and seeing the prices, they decided to only order an appetizer and then ran across the street to Chipotle and ordered a burrito to go, came back and ate it at the restuarant with everyone else. True class...that's my daughter!

The big trend in Utah is to spend the entire day with your date. The date starts first thing in the morning and the day is filled with fun activities. Then the dinner and dance in the night. I guess it would help the kids get in for curfew.

I did my own french manicure on my fingernails for my wedding day. Wouldn't have ever thought about having a manicure, pedicure and my make up done. I didn't even buy a fun prom dress. Ever. Just borrowed neighbors church dresses. I'm feeling really deprived.

She looks so beautiful, though! I love the color of her dress.

Kennedy looks gorgeous and would be just as beautiful even without all the primping. I do remember that Brittany got fake nails for her wedding pictures and wedding and pulled them off immediately after.
My wedding was so long ago, I barely remember having my hair done. I probably painted my nails but that is about all!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

Paris

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
