Kyle also got to help Shawn get ready, which consisted of helping him with his tie (boys are so different!)
After all the getting ready and taking pictures, Shawn, his girlfriend Cassidi, Juhee, and her date joined a group of 14 (I think) other prom-goers for a dinner party at different houses. The Murchies had the main course, so Kyle and I helped a bit with that. It was so much fun to see all the kids dressed up, and wow have the dresses changed since I was in high school! They are so bright, colorful, and tropical! I loved them all!
After the kids left to go to dessert at Cassidi's house and then on to pictures, we cleaned up and ate. The food was amazing! We always get to eat sooo good when we visit Kyle's parents, they are such great cooks! After eating we went to Grand March. For those of you who have no idea what Grand March is, I will explain. Its basically a fashion show. You know how all the moms always want to see pictures to see what everyone else was wearing at homecoming or prom, well that is not a problem out here! The entire town (well mostly...) gathers in the gym and each couple walks down a sort of red carpet (purple in this case) while being announced. It is so much fun to see all the dresses and couples. I think the west coast should adopt this habit, although I would have been so nervous! At Grand March they announced that Shawn won Prom King! We were so proud of him and excited!!!
Altogether it was such a fun weekend. I am really going to miss visiting Cando on the weekends. It is always so relaxing and calming. But at least when we get to come visit after we move it will be for more than a weekend!
