2. Find a dress - WOW that is really time consuming. We went to 5 different dress and bridal shops and she tried on about 40 different dresses.
3. Find a place to have dinner - Melanie and I talked on the phone and came up with alot of different places they could dine. I called around last night and got reservations for 7 different restraunts in east Wichita. Sumo, Timberline, Carribas, Abuleos, P.F. Chengs, Olive Garden, Olive Tree. When the 12 young adults agree on which one to go to.....I'll let you know so everyone can show up to see her in her beautiful dress.
- nope, not this one either...
- not this one...
There are so many to choose from. You got the poofy dress, the fluffy dress, the straight dress, blue, pink, green, yellow, black, orange, purple, silver dresses, pastel or bright, sluty or conserative, shiny material, tafeta, lace, silk, ruffles, long, short, tee length, halter, strapless, speggatti strap, beads, no beads, rinestones and the list went on and on.
The blue one was very flattering on her. But not her favorite. I loved the rinestones around the waist of this pink one... but nope not these either.
After shopping and shopping.... it was down to just 2 dresses. The price of each one was about the same....So we went for the dress we thought grandma would have loved on her.......
Of course, it had to be the PINK ONE. She looks like a princess in this gown. She is such a beautiful young lady who makes her parents VERY proud. Julie cried when Jessica put this dress on... we knew this was the dress for her. My mom would have loved to sit through the whole prom procession this year to see Jessica in this beautiful gown. She would have clapped her frail hands together and cheered just like she did in years past for the kids she didn't even know! One thing is for sure, Melanie, Julie and I will be clapping and crying the whole time the kids walk in.... They grow up so fast!

She's beautiful! I'm crying just reading what you wrote! And I know I'll be crying again on prom night. The years truly have whizzed by...they should all still be playing at Discovery Zone! Our babies are growing up way too quickly.
WTH? I think of her as perpetualy about 10. Everybody knows 10 year olds can't go to the prom! OMG does she look lovely in that gown.
What a beautiful picture of Jessica! That dress is gorgeous. And so is she. I think they should go to all SEVEN restaurants before prom.
That dress is as beautiful as the girl wearing it!!
