Today was Prom for Erika. Her date, Alastair Leavitt, came and picked her up at 10:30 am and their group went to Boondocks until 3:00 pm. While they were gone, she asked us to pick up the boutinneere we ordered from Macey's last Tuesday. When we went to get it, they had put the wrong color of rose on it. The flourist at Macey's was gone for the day, so Brian and I went to the Flower Patch and asked them if they could put one together for us in a couple of minutes. Of course, they were busy doing many corsages and boutinneers for other students, so they had the flourist on hand. We purchased the correct Hot Pink Rose color and then we let Erika pick which one when she came home to get ready. Then they went to lunch/dinner at Brick Oven from 3:30 until 5:30 and after that she came home to get ready for the dance. One of our neighbors is in hair school, so Erika had asked her to do her hair. Thanks Katherine, it looked so cute. Alastair came at 8:30 pm with the corsage. He was so nervous to put it on Erika, as well as Erika putting on the boutineere on Alastair. They were so cute and even let me take pictures. They went to the Provo City Library for pictures, The Promanade and the dance. She invited us to come to the promanade at 9:30. There were so many other parents there it was crazy. No places to park in the whole area, but we finally were able to see her come down the stairs with Alastair. The announced their names as they came down
(Alastair Leavitt and the beautiful Erika Brown). I recorded them coming down and we yelled out to her as she was coming down. She saw us a couple of minutes later and said, "Was that you guys yelling out at me?" Of course we said, " Yes." They went and had ice cream at the Malt Shoppe and she arrived home at 12:00 - yes midnight. She had a great time with all her friends and the group. We can't wait to see the professional pictures in a couple of weeks.
