I was originally going with a certain person - who will remain unnamed despite the obviousness of who he is to anyone that knows me -but to make an unnecessary long story short, he quickly turned out to be... well... a big fat jerk for lack of better terms. So this all went down about 2 and a half or three weeks before formal, so I still had plenty of time to ask a not-so-jerk. Of course I put it off, like I do so many things sometimes, until the week of. I asked John, a guy in BYX who I'd recently met. Okay fast forward to Saturday fun!
I had two dresses, a short one and a long one. I decided to wear the long one even though it was an awkward champagne color. I went to my friends apartment to get ready, and oh my gosh I was pushed for time! I didn't even get to put on my makeup!! :( At least I still had a little left on from that day so that helped. But between hair, fashion tape and shoes, it was so stressful and nothing was working my way! Oh man, that fashion tape! I wanted to kill it! haha .. but I guess it kind of saved me that night :) Gotta love being a woman!
The guys came and picked all of us beautiful girls up! We had such a sweet little group and we all looked so good!! We were running a little late but thankfully everyone else was too. The actual formal was at a place called the Ice House. It was a gutted out warehouse that was an art museum. There was artwork all over the walls. It was actually a great place for a dance! Carinos catered and it was so yummy! The DJ was a little ehhh.. but we are the ones that make the fun, not the music or anything else. And let me tell you.. it was FUN! Such a great time! After formal a big group of us went to Daybreak and had some night time coffee and some interesting conversations for sure! I absolutely loved getting to know every date over coffee. They were all so amazing and so fun! I'm just so sad that it took so long for me to meet these wonderful men!
Okay so now I am gong to take a second to brag about these guys!! I know.. bragging.. bad.. but these guys so deserve to be appreciated for everything they did that night! I still cant get over how amazing or dates were. Just as I was starting to get so fed up with all the guys I would meet and their shadiness and inconsistencies and lack of respect, I met these ones and my thoughts definitely changed! They were so respectful to us, showered us with compliments, and were perfect gentlemen. And not because they were expecting anything, but because they genuinely wanted to. They really treated us like princesses and I am so grateful for them. Even the little things, like opening our doors, pulling out our chairs, buying us coffee, carrying things for us, walking us to our room. It was so sweet and so appreciated. If that wasn't a slap in the face from God, I don't know what is. So silly of me to think that all guys are jerks and that I will never find the one that treats me like a princess. Saturday night God showed me what I deserve and what He is capable of giving me. I loved it and I am so grateful to have met these sweet men. So thank you for putting the cherry on top of might night.
Now for the fun part.. Pictures!! :
So adorable!

Haha! We both blinked the first time we tried this, so we tried to keep our eyes wide open this time! So silly! That's actually really unattractive.. lol
