My Prom Night in Eau Claire

So as I am sure you have read in previous blogs (if anyone reads them...) that I was asked to prom by my friend Jake Sutton... or as I like to call him... Billy. So after several months of waiting and getting ready for prom the time was finally here. Here is how my Saturday went.. I woke up at ohh I would say 10:30 am. and I woke up to Jake texting me, so I decided I should probably get up. So I got up and got ready and left my house at about 11:25 (a little later than I wanted to leave…) and I traveled up to Oakdale where my mother and prom date Jake’s mom had a meeting with several other Ladies in Relief Society. And so I rode down to Eau Claire with Mindy (Jake’s mama) and grand mother and another lady from his ward. Once we got to the house we see Jake and Bob and Jake’s Grandpa working on the car. So we got out say hello to everyone and I brought all of my stuff inside. Mindy and I had to run some quick errands and while we were out we got food for Jake and Bob and Mindy and I. So we went back to the house and ate then the real fun began… We got started on the hair. It did not take as long as I thought it would so that was a relief to me. And I sat very still for the whole hour it took to do my hair, and for those of you who know me… that never happens. And so after the hair was done Mindy polished the acrylics Sarah put on my fingers a couple days ago. When that was done I decided to do my make up and I think I did pretty well at doing my make up all by myself… I think I’m growing up. Once I was done doing my make up we had about 15 minutes till my family was going to be arriving to take pictures so I went and changed. And Mindy had to help me zip up my dress and then I put on my jewelry and slipped on my Cinderella shoes and went up stairs. Now it was time to wait. About 5 minutes later my family pulled up with a little addition to our little family. And that would be baby Nate who really isn’t a baby anymore, but I am so used to calling him that. About 5 minutes after that Scott and Mi Mor came and the real fun began. LOTS OF ENDLESS PICTURES!!!!!!! Eventually we got away from the Sutton’s and went to Scott’s house for appetizers then back to the Sutton’s for steak and potatoes… yummmmm. Then off to the dance after a quick stop at Jake’s brother Jim’s house to say hi. The dance was at a beautiful garden place. After the dance we went to David and Collette Staples’ house for a bonfire and to watch a movie being projected on the side of their shed. Well the bonfire wouldn’t start so we just watched the movie. After we got to cold Jake and I left and went back to his house, and finished watching Enchanted and watched License to wed after that. Then that ended the night of prom.

Slight Update...

Soooo I have a friend... Yes I know I do have them. And he was recently in Iraq and I would like to say he has come home safe, (and boy am I glad). And I have gotten to talk to him alot since he has been back and he is EXTREMELY happy to be home safe. And so am I. (To the Left is an older picture of us...) Today while we were talking we were talking about when we met... and it was pretty funny.And I was at work and I work at a flower shop as I am sure anyone who reads my blog knows... WELL my favorite flower is the Gerber Dasiy. So I took a picture of it. Then I went to the Manzella's house (where I have been staying for the week but now had to give my future home back.) well I went to their house and played with Vader their very very active dog. Well I had pictures with her but they were very very Dark...

Oh and I bought my prom dress. It is soooo adorable. I love it. (Pictures will come soon.... well maybe.)

My Trip to Eau Claire

Since Jake asked me in a creative way, I had to answer in a creative way. Mac & I made this with valentine heart candies. There are 311 glued to the board. Jake had no idea that we were coming, and he was totally surprised when I jumped out of the room and he saw me. I had planned it out with his mom, Mindy, that I would come down and say yes. I called Mindy on the way down and asked her to think of a reason to get Jake out of the house. I gave her an hour and a half to think. So I called her when Emily and I were 10 minutes away and she said "Ok see you then." She sent Jake away to coldstone for her client's daughter's birthday. All the while he was texting me complaining about how his mother, who woke him up and HE had to go to the store for HER client's daughter's birthday (blah blah blah).
I said YES!

He was surprised!

My Tuesday in a Glance.

So I got up just like normal. I got up went to seminary and then went to school. Well my friend Jake, from Eau Claire, didn’t have school and so I was talking to him all day and when I asked him what he and our friend Scott were doing he avoided the subject… whatever right? Well then Emily text messaged me while I was at school and asked me if and what time I worked. I answered her and then we decided we would go out to lunch... a weekly occurrence. So I went through the day at school. Then I went to pick up me and she had said Jake had sent me a package. So I told her I wanted to open it before we went out to lunch. So I walked into the house and my favorite song was playing so I started singing it and looked in the living room and Emily wasn’t there. So I thought oh well she is probably in our room… so I walked to the door and saw a sign that said “400 Balloons 1 Question” so I opened the door or at least tried and I couldn’t but I stuck my head into my room and saw that my room was PACKED full of balloons. Em was hiding in the balloons and then popped out and started taking pictures. So then Jake was calling her and I talked to him. And he mentioned that I had to pop all of the balloons to find the puzzle. So I played in them and showed my whole family… went to work, came home and played in them some more. And my mom Sarah and I had A LOT of fun playing in the balloons and taking pictures.

My friends Scott and Jake came to my house at 9 in the morning and started blowing up balloons. Emily helped them and they didn't leave till 12 ish. and they only had to leave because they had to go ask Scott's girlfriend. In this next slide show there are pictures of Jakey and Scottie blowing up balloons.
