Went and picked up Kara’s prom dress today. It’s a darn good thing I haven’t taken a day off in a year or I would have never been able to afford it!
The dress she picked out was very beautiful, but upon closer inspection….it was falling apart and was sort of cheap looking. We wouldn’t get out of the place with a quick, “Looks good…let’s go.”

We hit all the shops in the mal and had something funny to say about all the dresses we came across.
“Oh look at this one mom…REOW!” as she held up one that looked like something out of a bondage catalog.
“Kara, you could go as The Bumble Bee from Transformers!” a horrible yellow/black stripped dress was actually 100 bucks!
“Hey John, is this the same fabric they use for parachute canopies?”

We had nearly gave up when, being a woman, I caught something shiny in the corner of my eye. We made our way to the wall where the small collection of dresses hung. It came down between two dresses, but really there was no question what dress it would be.
When she put it on….OMG…my beautiful daughter looked like a woman.

The pictures will go up as soon as she leaves on her date…I promised her no photos until then!
