After a delightful week of warm weather, snow just about all melted, including a high of 68 on Tuesday, the weather changed and Friday the weather became colder and we woke to snow on Saturday morning with a total of over 6 inches by nightfall with a bit more this morning. Of course this was also prom weekend, so yesterday 74 girls in beautiful long dresses ventured out into the weather with a daytime high of 36 and snow pretty much all day long. It was wet, cold and not very prom-like. It was fun to see the girls coming into the high school for grand march with prom dresses, sweatshirts and mukluk or ugg boots.
The girls attending with Rachel.
Rachel attended with friend Scott Ducharme. They were in speech together and at one point had agreed to go together as the state speech meet is usually the same day as prom and thus difficult for anyone who qualifies for the state speech meet to go to prom as well. Scott ended up dropping speech this year and Rachel didn't qualify, but by that point there weren't many unattached who planned to go.
The group of ten.
Rachel had a wonderful night and enjoyed the experience. She had two women come along side and help her get ready. Debbie Griffith was her Sunday School teacher last year and has always loved Rachel's features. Scott is her nephew and when she found out they were going together, she took charge. She did Rachel's makeup and convinced another woman, Pam Rooney to come and do Rachel's hair. I was grateful as I had to work until 3pm and pictures were at 4. Thank you to both of these women for their assistance.
Rachel and Scott were part of a group of ten who went to dinner together and then after post-prom (at 5am today) went to one of the boys house to watch a movie, doze and have breakfast before she came home at 10am for a bit of sleep.
The theme was Secret Garden. The woman coordintating the decorations went all out. The kids all came out these 'garden gates' for the march.
The bridge the couples posed on during the march. Many of the girls were afraid they would trip and fall. (No one did.)

Brought tears to my eyes to read this. I am so happy that Rachel had a wonderful time. I told Opa that she was the most beautiful girl there. I AM a LITTLE biased, but she is beautiful. We love her hair, her make-up, her dress, and most of all Rachel, who she is, quite a grown-up young lady!
