Moments: A first dance.

Our first Semi-formal with K. Ain't she a peach? It's not a nice feeling knowing she's in the care of another teenage boy now and then....not a nice feeling at all.

But...seeing as I changed the diapers of the kid who escorted her, I suppose she's safe. They've grown up together.

When I was in high school, we didn't have 'semi-formals'. There was Junior-Senior Prom. Unless you were invited by an upperclassmen, you couldn't go as a frosh or sophomore. We had little dances after games and such, but they were a joke. Girls on one side, boys on the other, sweaty hands for everyone. No fancy dresses and suits.

Things have changed. Now we have Semi-formal (and don't let the name fool you. They wear gowns and corsages. Fancy updo's for the hair. Sparkling earrings and bangles. Nothing 'semi' about it at all.

With two in high school now, I'm realizing I need to have a separate budget for 'semi-formals'.

Ah, but ain't she a peach?
