Sweetheart Dance


Tonight is the Sweetheart Dance at the high school. It is a girl's choice dance, so the girls get to plan the evening. It is also slightly formal, so Tori need a new dress- can't wear the same one as last year (gasp!) Actually she said she would, but I have so much free time these days I thought I would be brave. I made her dress and wonder of wonders- it turned out great. And miracle of miracles- she likes it! I don't usually pick out clothes for Miss Tori. She is a little bit picky. But she was out of town for a school function and I got the stuff to make this dress. We like the godets- don't ask us how to pronounce it though. They are the triangles at the bottom- way cool!

Tori has a hard time taking a picture without making a face. Her date is Alec Russell. They go is groups and Alec's brother is going with another one of the girls- don't have a picture of the whole group. But this is half the group, Lisa and Gage. Since this is a Tori post I will tell about a couple recent "way-to-go's". She took the ACT a couple of weeks ago and got an impressive score- 31. She applied to go to something called Girl's State and got accepted. She will receive college credit and get to spend a week at Southern Utah University learning about local and state government. They chose 5 girls from her school. She is working hard to get all her credits done to be able to walk for graduation.

Valentine's Day

We had a Valentine's dinner/dance at the church Saturday night. Which was a huge success- kudos to all involved! One of the nice things available was a picture of each couple. I don't have the one of Brent and me yet, but here is Brent and our friend and neighbor Adam. It is pretty classic. Adam was not nearly as scared and freaked out as he appears in the picture. The Basua link in the list to the right will take you to their blog where you can check out Adam's prettier Valentine, his beautiful wife Melissa.
