Hello all 🙂

This past weekend, a high school phenomenon happened- more commonly known as Prom.

What is this “prom”?

NOUN

  1. informal – NORTH AMERICAN
    a formal dance, especially one held by a class in high school or college at the end of a year.

Now that that’s covered, let’s get to the point of this blog post, shall we?

I’ve dreamed from a little girl to have a HUGE poofy dress. Well, for my senior prom, that dream finally came true.

Babe and I before his prom.                                       Simba proudly wears “the poof”.

So, the irony in all of this? My prom’s theme was “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”. You know, the song by Elton John. From the one and only “The Lion King”. In case you need a reminder:

 

This was the bottom picture on our photo booth picture strip- along with a little lion.

So yeah, prom was pretty awesome. Time with my favorite, lions everywhere, it was nice.

In my first post on this blog I mentioned how amazing my boyfriend is.

Now, I’m gonna brag a bit.

10 Reasons I love TJ:

  1. He dresses really well.
  2. He knows how to make me smile.
  3. His hair is fantastic.
  4. He’s a really talented musician.
  5. He’s a great person, period.
  6. He’s really cute and romantic and sweet.
  7. He does stuff like my Relay for Life fundraisers with me.
  8. His family and friends are great.
  9. He talks about me to his friends… as embarrassing as that actually is.
  10. And finally, related to this post, he’s a great actor.
