Prom 2018

Chloe and her best friend Rider McClendon

Tamra, Rebecca, CoCo and Rider
We were waiting on Katelyn Matthews to show, but she had a wardrobe malfunction...we'd
planned to take photos at the Birdeye Store and the cemetery but it didn't happen

August and Stella come every year to see Chloe's dress...so sweet of them!

Saturday morning of prom, I had to work and Chloe changed up her plans to go to JB's steakhouse
with Rider and invited all her friends over to a light dinner then they all went to prom....which
was fine but I had to get some food, clean up the house and take Chloe into town for
hair and makeup so here I am still in scrubs

Tamra and Chloe have a very funny sense of humor...I hope they'll be life long friends

Tamra's mom and Rider's mom ended up staying over for our light meal which was Hay's
chicken strips (reheated and for the record, you really shouldn't re-heat them they're much
better straight from the deli!! Lesson learned) mac and cheese, fruit and her choice of
freezer cookies.  For the record, Jackie didn't show up at all.  He hid in the back watching
ESPN...then we he did emerge when he didn't hear laughing and carrying on, he said,
"that food was terrible".  That is a quote.  And it didn't bother me because I had to throw it
together so last minute and waiting until dusk for a girl who didn't show, it was all fine for me

Well, we survived another prom, thank goodness.  Chloe asked a good friend, Rider, to go with her which was fun for her.  She did hang with her group of girls so they all went as a group.  Chloe said it was a lot of fun.  Afterwards, they all changed and went to Hijinx in Jonesboro, which is an arcade place then they went to Buffalo Wild Wings then to IHOP.  Yes, she got home at 3 am and Rider's mom came and got him at 4 am.  It was a long night!!  But they all had fun and were safe, thankfully.  I enjoyed talking with Tamra and Rider's moms over a light meal.  They were a sweet bunch.  I loved too that Tamra's mom asked why I don't use paper plates...she said it's so much easier to clean up....That's what Jackie said on Easter when he wondered why we weren't using plastic forks and paper plates at Easter!!  Hilarious.
