Here's the recap of my night(pics soon to follow)
I picked up my date(her name is Joycelyn) at her house around 3:45pm(she looked very pretty BTW) we went up to the high school to take pics with a bunch of other couples that were riding the coach bus that our group rented for the night. I had fillet mingon steak with american fries and green beans, she had grilled chicke mariette. We got to the high school(about 8:30-9:00pm) and we made our way to the gym, she went to talk and dance with her friends, I kinda stood near her and BSed with a bunch of other guys. About a half hour after we got tho the high school she asked if I wanted to dance with her.(which I did, and afterwards I started to break outa my shell and participate more and not just stand around.) Since we were on royal court we participated in the grand march and danced after the march. One of my buddies was crowned king and a girl who I'm good friends with(her name is Amanda) was crowned queen. My date invited another guy to grand march(but he didn't get to dance with her last nite hahaha) after grand march and endless photos we started cleaning up decorations. After prom I took her home so she could change and take her own car to post prom. There isn't much to be said about post prom. I feel like I really impressed her(I know I impressed her parents), I tried being a gentleman as best as I could.

Glad you had a good time.

Yeah, I've never lived that one down! One time, I was doing the laundry trying to help out where I could. Unbeknownst to me, A colored dish towel made its way into the whites. It was no longer brown. I caught you know what for that for a long time. That is until she did the same thing one day and tye-dyed my underwear! Sometimes, I get the last laugh.

Way to go Jacob. Always be a gentleman and it will pay off. Chivalry isn't dead, it just needs to be awakened sometimes. Good job and glad you had fun!

Well since Jacob shared about his school dance I guess I will share mine to lol.
It was last saturday on a huge yacht called the San Francisco spirt with only Sophomores on board. I was my group of friends that I was hanging out with till about half way threw the cruise. Then I saw on the third floor a girl I had a crush on. So I went up and talked to her and asked her if she wanted to go to the back of the boat and talk and she said yes so for the last 2 hours we just sat there and every thing just clicked and it was awesome. So I was thinking on the bus about it and when we got back to school I asked her out and she said yes!
