West Nassau High School Prom

Nick & I chaperone the West Nassau High School Prom every year. Out of the 12 years he has been teaching I think I've missed just one, the year I had Rocco. Some of you remember the difficult time I had after that precious boy's birth.

First we went out to eat at Chili's. That was kinda of weird because we were so dressed up. The service was terrible, which surprised us because we love Chili's. (That's where we had our first date in February 1996.) I had the Buffalo Bite sandwiches (Yum-O) and Nick had the same-ole-same-ole, Cajun Chicken Pasta. Ofcourse we enjoyed chips & salsa first.

After Chili's we went to the prom, at Alltel. It was nice, as usual. One our favorite things to do is pick out our favorite dress. (Don't tell Nick I told you he likes to do that too.) This year there were several I liked. I will tell you that I don't think the short ones are dressy enough to be 'prom' dresses. I know mine was short but I'm a chaperone, so I'm not supposed to be as dressy. My favorite was gorgeous! It was a dark blue on the bottom and shimmery stones on the top, all the way down to the buttocks. (Did I really just say that?) You really had to have the right figure to wear that dress and that girl did!!

We enjoyed our annual meeting at the round table with Brian Simmons. We missed Audie & Pam Ash.. The food was cut WAY back so I'm glad we went out to eat first! I tried to talk Nick out of it, "They always have a big spread there." Must have been a budget cut..

We had a great time. We served at the souvenier booth from 10:45-11:15 then made it home by 12am. There was one sweet girl who open her souvenier frame and handed it right back to us saying, "This isn't the right one, that's not us." LOL I felt so bad for her, Nick just rolled with it and gave her another one saying, "I'm so sorry. I must have switched them, this is yours." I guess she thought it was like at the ammusement parks where you pick up your picture afterwards.. I told Nick we should have told her it was the King & Queen's picture. I did feel bad though. We have ALL had 'those' moments..

One more prom down.. I missed my own so I make sure to go every year now.
