Home in time for Mormon Prom

When Spaulding wanted Meghan to stay until the end of May, we knew that was just not an option. Prom was coming up and seeing everyone dressed up, was a high priority for us. Uncle Jeff lent Cameron his Corvette for the evening, and Meghan didn't have to ask her brother twice for a ride.

A top priority for Meghan was to visit two of her favorite people: Her counselor, Mrs Stege and her House Principal, Ms Coggins. These two wonderful ladies have supported Meghan since her re-entry into school last September. There are angels absolutely everywhere--even in school--and these are two of the best!

We said "Goodbye" to our exchange student from Korea, Fred Cho. (Yep, what a year to be an exchange student in our household! We gave Fred the opportunity, in November, to move to another family, but he chose to stick with us through all the ups and more ups!) It was wonderful to meet his family, including his little brother Alex, who wants to be an exchange student in 5 years. Fred is going home to Seoul, Korea, for the summer but he will be returning in September to Emory University in Atlanta. "Good choice Fred"--he hates the snow!

We have had such wonderful weather since we have been home. Luckily Dad opened the pool early this year, and Meghan has taken advantage of it. When it's 85 degrees outside, we do therapy in the water. Here Meghan is swimming with Dad and Mallory.

Riley came over for some more Wii challenges. I think that the game now is "Mario Cart".

Aunt Shannon hosted a family dinner in her backyard to welcome Meghan home. Meghan loves the noise and chaos of family dinner. Notice the kids all around the table: Cake must be served!

The morning of Prom: Cameron gets up at 8AM to wash the Corvette. He is still washing it at 10AM, noon, 2PM.....and no, it hasn't even come out of the garage yet! Uncle Jeff, your Corvette hasn't sparkled like this in years!

Obviously Cameron managed to clean himself up at some time during the day. Cassie, Cameron's date, had not felt well yesterday, so Cameron promised Meghan that if Cassie was too sick to go to Prom, Meghan would be his date. Sadly for Meghan, Cassie recovered and looked beautiful for the event.

Something is missing at this prom—and everyone will be glad it's gone. It’s prom night: girls in fancy hairdos and beautiful dresses; guys looking their best, some in tuxedos or suits. There’s music, decorations, a catered dinner, and even door prizes. But there are a few things missing from this particular prom, like crude dance moves, offensive song lyrics, girls in immodest dresses, and alcohol & drugs. The solution: put on your own prom, but with Church standards as the guide.
