Prom-a-pa-looza or Holy Photo upload, Batman!

1996 So this was Junior Prom. I was 16. My date was Jason Breton. Aka Pork. We went as friends. We rode in his dads car I think. I remember feeling very uncomfortable. Not because of my dress. I loved my dress. I didn't like the compliments I was getting. You have to remember when I was in school I was a slob. I didn't realize I was a slob. But I hated the girly stuff. I was a tomboy. So being all dressed up and getting compliments made me feel very uncomfortable. It was nice getting compliments I just didn't know how to handle it.

This was me when I bought my dress

This was my mom's friend Red Head Debbie. She was about them most stylish person I knew at that time in my very naive life.

This was me starting to become very uncomfortable with the whole "get dressed up and look nice" process.

And here's the crew. Matt Kaus our neighbor to the west, Me, Jason Breton, Ben (my brother) and Tim Pohl our neighbor who lived down front.

We ended up leaving early. I think both of us were just uncomfortable with the whole situation. and then the thought of Dancing (I didn't dance then, I felt stupid and didn't know what I was doing) We went and got Wes (my cousin, we were kinda the 3 amigos, Wes, Pork and I) I don't remember what we did that night (not because I was drunk or anything, I think I spent the night at Pork's house and went to Church the next morning in my dress.

Now Senior Year. 1997

I ended up going to 2 proms. I went with Ian (i don't remember what his last name was) He was a Junior at Attica. He was best friend with my best friend Rachel. She already had a date leaving Ian dateless, so he asked me. (Sure why not) I had a softball tournament that morning. So there for I had some Horrible tan lines. I did my hair the same way that I did it they year before for my Junior prom. (so original) I had just recovered from Ankle reconstruction surgery so putting heels on was not so much fun. I remember my ankle being swollen beyond belief by the end of the night. I drove us. We had a pretty good time. Went to an after party WAY out in the woods somewhere. Attica people! There nuts! I ended up leaving him there and heading back to the house I was house sitting for that week.

Took my dress to the cleaners, so I could wear it for my prom and the cleaners melted the sequens off the front. a few days before my prom I had to go buy a new dress. It was plain black ugly and I rocked the green one so much better.

Now fast forward a few weeks to my senior prom. I went with Kyle Messenger. A great friend during my Senior year. Kyle, Jamie Keister and I all took freshmen Algebra 1 together as Seniors. We laughed our way though. We had some great times that year. So the week of prom we had a softball game and I took a line drive during warm-ups off Coach Falcone's bat right in the eye!



Nice! (DAMN those furry catapillars on my forhead, why didn't anyone speak up and send me to an exterminator)

I ended up getting some special cover up from the make-up counter at Dillard's or something it covered up the black eye, but left my face all shiny in the pictures. Being pissed about the eye, and dress, I didn't do anything to my hair.

So here we are:Me, Kyle, Jenny Williams, Jeff Waiter, Jamie Keister and Brian Kelsey. I think Jamie and Brian were actually dating, but the rest of us just went as friends. We rode in Kyle's new truck. A red Dodge truck. We smoked cigarettes on the way there. We stayed the whole time had a great time. Laughed DANCED!

I dip, you dip, we dip. was a popular song then.

Kyle had some mild acne and had some prescription strength stuff he was supposed to use, but need to stay out of the sun. Well he got sun burned on our senior trip and ended up with that red burn mark on his nose. We were a perfect couple. Me and my eye and him and his nose. We went back to Brian Kelsey's house afterward. We had a bonfire. I got really drunk and puked up my dinner in front of everyone. I didn't care then but when I think of it now. How obnoxious and embarrassing. I guess I was just trying to be cool and fit in. I ended up passing out on the living room floor. got up the next day, Jamie took me home and I felt horrible the rest of the day.

This was the 1997Alexander Trojans Softball Team (10-6)

Jessie, Jamie, Katie, Me, Sarah, Beth, Marcie, Katie, Jaydriene, Brandi, and Stephanie.

I counted up and I think between these girls we have 16 soon to be 17 kids.

Me and Brandi have the most with 3 each. (Brandi is in the gold dress in the front row. Stephanie is about to have her 3rd (she's in the

front row black dress next to Brandi)

Garter shot! mine sucked it was homemade and rolled up all stupid when I took it off.
