PCA Senior Prom 2010

It was a grand day! The weather was perfect. I went and got myself a haircut, picked up the boutonniere, then we headed to the salon. Harleigh had chosen a Sarah Jessica Parker 'do and we brought along some flowers to add in. Two hours later we headed home to get ready; we found her gown at a consignment shop over 8 months ago (for under $100!); it needed some alterations, but Grandie helped with that. We had to leave the house by 2:30 to be at Jenny's by 3:30 for picture taking with the dates. Harleigh went with a friend, Rhys, who used to go to PCA before transferring to Norcross High. And so he was excited to be asked to prom and see all his old friends. Once at the venue, Villa Christina, there were more pictures to be taken, and then the Senior Walk where each senior is announced along with what college they will be attending. For the prom itself, there was a sit-down dinner and then the dance. Afterwards they had their after-party at Jenny's house. Harleigh said it was the best prom/dance she's ever been to. And nothing made me happier than to see her glowing. And when she laughs, the way she crinkles up her nose and throws her head back . . . it warms my heart.
