Homecoming highlights


The day started off with a trip to the lake. Ashley said they had a great time. I was worried because it was cold and windy... but she said it was still lots of fun. She got home with just enough time to shower and then go get her hair & makeup done. Michelle Garrett did it for her and did a great job. It took a little longer than expected and I was all nervous because she didn't get home until 5:00 and Brandon was coming to get her at 5:20! Luckily he was running a little late too. Leah and Alex were home for the weekend so they came over to watch Ashley get all ready. It was cute!

She looked gorgeous when Brandon arrived.















She got the boutonnière on all by herself!






They went over to Brandon's for a few group pictures. They all looked so fabulous!














After pictures they went down to Build a Bear at Fashion Show Mall. They made this cute little bear named "Stuffy". Then they did a scavenger hunt in the mall. Ashley and Brandon won!

Then they had dinner at Christian Bolick's house. Ashley said it was a five star meal!

They were running late, so they got to the dance 10 minutes before it was over... which was a bummer! Oh well... then they went to Brandon's for pie. It was a great night!!

You look beautiful Ashley!! I guess you were the lucky one who got to go with Brandon. I remember him when we car pooled and he was in the 2nd grade and
he is still just as cute and polite and perfect!! I love the way you write too! You are a doll.
