FRO me to you~"Pretty in Pink"...

 

Remember any of those school dances or even the proms?

I remember my Junior one because it was the last one I went to. and as a single girl...(before meeting my much older boyfriend aka knight in shining armor my hubby.)

After a broken heart my Sophomore year...I swore all boys off the summer after...

As a result my grades came up the next year. Friendships multiplied and the best part was my mom and I spent more time talking to each other instead of yelling. Who knew?!

It was easier than I thought it would be until prom time arrived then I spoke (read whined) to my friends in class..."I've gone to every dance since the 6th grade I don't won't to miss getting dressed up...besides I've got a cute pink dress altered shorter that needs to come out of the closet and I could order some of those adorkable pink dyed shoes. Hey I already have a new perm (yeah Kristen I thought it was cool then too...) and of course those press on nails (that I could make last forever) Umph...{singing "Poor~ poor~ pitiful me!"}

So later I'm walking from one class to another and here walks by an old friend (we'll call him "R") who says "so what color tux should I get?"

"huhn, what are you talking about?" 

R says..."I've known you since 2nd grade, I heard you want to get all dressed up and I know you have sworn off all boys...so I'm your guy...besides my mom and sister are pestering me and you would look cute in a pix with me (winks) no conditions and then everybody's happy, even me."

"So your willing to take me "no strings attached" can you throw in dinner too?"

I know I was a bit pushy...but hey we really took some great pix and had a fun time.

The teachers voted this handed down from my sister's girlfriend 4yrs old pink dress as "the best dress" and my friend "R" will always have my appreciation for being "one of the good guys" who allowed me to have my "pretty in pink"moment!

{Before dress/hair and make-up...applying those plastic claws and boy what I'd give to be able to sit like that again...and still be able to breathe}

                         

{First time to wear a strapless bra, mom was doing her best to "sew me in"...I was a bit nervous can you tell?}

"and check out that Fro"

{That can of spray held up to the hours of dancing...as my hair rocked (literally it was a rock!)...that was some serious stuff.}

What a blessing to look back to see just how  the Lord provided...even when I was not looking to HIM, still HE was looking out for me.."

"Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
       Who created all these?
       He who brings out the starry host

one by one,and calls them each by name.
       Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing."

Isaiah 40:26
