COM Prom

We had Prom this Saturday evening and it was quite fun. I got another wear out of M.B.'s bridesmaid dress (it is a stunner) which is nice, except that it has about a two-foot train on it, so after it got stepped on by three different people, I had to hitch it up and tie some of it off with a rubberband. Oddly enough, I got more compliments on it when it was hitched up and tied off, which is so strange because I looked really bizarre.

(Mom and Aunt Lisa- that is actually sweet tea in his cup.)

Caleb and I DID end up choreographing an 8-count too. We only busted it out one time though because Caleb did it way too fast, so he looked super gay and I looked like a crazy pageant mom shrieking, "don't do it double-time!!!!"

Hey recognize anyone in this picture other than Caleb? Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, that is Stuart Salters on the far left. He has become a regular hang-out buddy in Mobile. While Christmas shopping at the Eastern Shore shopping center, I pointed out a guy and told Caleb it looked just like Stuart Salters from Mississippi State. And it was him, so we've been doing fun activities together ever since and he escorted Kacie to prom.

Oh and another story about Prom! There was this guy with a huge camera taking pictures, so naturally, I assumed they had hired a "Zaps" guy, just like we did in college for KD parties. Well AFTER we posed for a quick Zap Pic, we discovered it was not a Zaps guy, but a second year med student with a VERY spiffy camera. Ooooops.

As for any other news, there's really not any. I'm coming up with more Bridal Guidelines daily but no complaints because business is good. OH! I was going to share some of the creativity of the college students in the Sunday School class Caleb and I help with... I've been teaching this month about churchplanting and this Sunday we divided up into groups to develop church ideas to reach specific demographics of unchurched people in North America and I thought their ideas were awesome (and often hilarious):

Group One: "Hammerin' for Heaven" a church for construction workers that meets every Wednesday on construction sites during lunch break.

Group Two: "Center Stage" would meet for 10 minutes every day in the middle of Times Square to reach the gazillions of tourists.

Group Three: "Dude....God" reaches out to the surfer crowd and will meet on the beach at night around a bonfire.

Group Four: I can't remember the name of the church, but it would meet in a gym and reach people working out.

They were also clever about how they would get the word out about the new gatherings- for instance Center Stage would pass out pop tarts with information on the packaging, and Dude....God would give out surf board wax with information. Oh to be 18 years old and super creative again.
