Homecoming
So I'm two days late.....who cares. Homecoming was AWESOME! The events of the day follow:
So I got up took a shower...and GOT A HAIRCUT! Yes! That's right ladies and gentlemen...my hair is....well...not as long as it was. After the haircut...I thought to myself...why did I take the risk and choose to cut my hair on Homecoming night?! Not the smartest move I've ever made, but the cut looked good, so I can't complain.
After the hair cut...I ran some errins including: going to Leonda's to see the layout for the night, picking up corsage and seeing the lovely Lindsey F. in the parking lot, trying on a tux someone had laying around, deciding to wear the tux instead of my suit since the tux fit great, and running to K & G's to get a bow-tie and cumberbun. It was an UBER busy day. After all that running around, I came home, had some Mac 'n cheese, and got all pimped out for the dance.
At around 6 P.M. I arrived at Emily's house to do the corsage deal and take family pictures. Nichole looked...BEAUTIFUL. I don't even know how to explain it...she just looked classy and elegant. She was wearing a black velvity dress with black like...nettingish stuff in a "v" at the top and bottom of her dress in the back. There were little silver shiny things all over the top frontal area (the chest) and lining and connecting the v's in the back. She wore diamond earrings and necklace and bracelet, and she quite simply looked gorgeous. She had her hair up/down....I dunno how to explain it. It was all curly (not tight curls) and flowy...beautiful. Nichole...you were stunning.
So after feeling like a simpleton compared to Nichole, we headed off in Emily's boyfriend's (Neil) 90's white Mercedes with red leather seats. We went and got early pictures which were extremely painless.
Then....it was dinner time. Now just a little background here, the day I asked Nichole to homecoming I told a really nice woman from my church that I was asking her, and she replied with "OH YOU GUYS SHOULD COME EAT AT MY HOUSE!!!!" So I presented this idea to my groupmates, and Nichole seemed fine with it, but I think Emily was a little hesitant about eating at some lady's house whom she doesn't know. Leonda and I planned our butts off, and I was sooo excited, but a little worried about Emily's opinion of the situation. (there's the background.)
Back to homecoming night...We got to the house, and went in....IT WAS AMAZING! Leonda outdid herself. She decided to make the theme silver and icy blue, and she had TONS of candles. It was so nice. We went in and had hour devours which were waiting in the living room. It was comfortable, and we talked a bit. Then, we decided to have dinner. I called Roger and he was AWESOME! He acted like a waiter and he did an amazing job. Thanks Roger! We had options for everyone, the ladies didn't want sparkling cider, and we were prepared. We gave them....OJ! That's what they said they liked....haha. So the main dish was lasagna, but Emily didn't like beef...no worries. Planned on that. She got her choice...Chicken Caesar Salad. The conversation was good at dinner. Not too many awkward silences, and I didn't want to talk too much so I just let the ladies talk it up while I ate my heart out (politely mind you). Then we had desert...SO GOOD! There were two options...apple pie with ice cream or a kinda creamy chocolate mint pie. Nichole and I had the chocolate mint while Emily and Neil had apple. It was great...as I said...Leonda outdid herself. Then we all brushed our teeth...Leonda's idea for the toothbrushes.
We went to the dance next. That was fun..lots of pretty people.
As you can tell the highlight of my night wasn't the dance....it was nice, but everything else was better.
After the dance we were a little short on time (Nichole's curfew was 1 A.M.) so we went bowling for 2 games. That was pretty awesome. There were other groups at the bowling ally which was fun to see, but our ladies were the coolest since they stayed in their dresses. Neil was pretty good, he had a mean curve in his throws, I was thoroughly amazed. The first game I won, but that was just our warm-up. The second game...Nichole won, she beat me by 2 points. Oh and the first game I got 105 or something of that sort. One thing I noticed was that Nichole still looked elegant even while she was bowling. It was kinda awesome. Here she is, throwing a ball down an ally with neon bowling shoes on...and she looked beautiful. That girl holds herself well.
After bowling...it was go home time. I had an AWESOME night....thanks everyone!
