Photo Friday: The best friends edition

Well, Friday certainly snuck up on me this week. I’m still trying to catch up on all the blogging fun I’ve been so lucky to be a part of this week, and I completely forgot about choosing a theme for this week’s Photo Friday post. Whoops.

As I was trying to decide what to post, I remembered that it’s my best friend Jenny’s birthday today. After wishing her well a couple different places, I decided that friendship would be the perfect theme and, since I have a bunch of pictures of my friends and me over the years already posted, why not collect them all in one post?

So, in no particular order, below I give you a dozen pictures of my besties and me over the years, from high school, through college, and beyond. I hope you enjoy my little picspam…

Seriously, you can’t promenade alone

For my seventeen post, I’ve got another prom story to tell. This one is about my junior prom, which was by far the most memorable prom of them all.

Despite this being a more enlightened age, I am somewhat stuck in the past when it comes to who should ask out whom. Probably this is because I fear rejection and failure and also because I’m a big chicken. As a result, I waited until the last possible moment to ask someone to prom. Of course, everyone already had dates by then, so the three people I thought to ask were taken. Out of desperation, I asked Mr. Junior. You may or may not remember him from such other prom-related posts as “You can’t promenade alone, can you?”

But first, some back story.

You can’t promenade alone, can you?

And now I’m back on schedule! Woot!

I was fifteen and a freshman the first time I went to prom. I can hear it now: “How the…What the…Huh? Aren’t those for upperclassmen?”

My freshman year, I befriended an upperclassman who asked me to go to prom with him. I, of course, was flattered beyond belief and quickly said yes. Since he waited till the last minute to ask me, I scored a great dress for a nominal price. A couple of older girls took me dress shopping since I didn’t have a car and even offered to do my make-up for me. Dressed to the nines, I was all set to enjoy my night, despite the fact that we were being chauffeured by his parents because my date couldn’t drive.
