Prom

Ok, a life-milestone. My daughter is about to go to prom. It's her first, so the pictures will be plentiful, I can promise that.

I understand from my days of going to prom that having a "guy" date is the best thing in the world...but I have to admit that I'm a little glad that her first "date" is her aunt Michaela. I know she will be safe and taken care of.

I agree with my sister-in-law that time does go by too fast and I'm not sure how to slow it down. The problem that I have is that I don't get much time with Martie anyway (since we got her at the age of 13) and then it has to go so fast.

I don't think that at the age of 31 or 32 I will be ready for an empty nest. I keep thinking about how we will fill our house again after she's gone (or start filling it before she leaves). I want to adopt an infant or toddler so bad, but it just doesn't seem to be in God's will.

Ok, wait a second, I was talking about prom. Enough with the drama, right?

Martie even gets to serve at the prom banquet, so that's exciting. She will be there...just not eating all dressed up like the juniors and seniors. But her time will come.

She has asked me to do her hair (Michaela asked me too) so I will be very busy on Saturday doing make-up, hair, probably painting nails (even putting on fake ones maybe). So our house will become the Soodsma beauty spa...lol...hmmmm.

And to top it all off, after I dress up the girls (maybe pull my hair up quick and put on a nice shirt and pants), watch them go to prom and make sure they are safe, Scott is taking me out on a date. All alone, just the two of us. I love when it's just the two of us. We act like teenagers again and hold hands, and get all smoochy smoochy. Actually we usually end up going to wal-mart or hastings and buying something for Martie. Since she's also the topic of most of our conversations on a date.

Anyway, that's how my weekend will be going. Busy, tiring, but lots of fun.

God bless and loves to everyone.
