Sarah Goes to Mormon Prom!
Today Sarah and a bunch of the 16+ kids from our ward went to an area-wide “Mormon Prom.” This is a more formal church dance for all the Priests and Laurels (16+). Tickets were required and to go, you had to agree to abide by the church’s dress standards. Dates are not required but many get dates and go. Sarah went with a group of girls and a couple of guys. They got corsages and boutonnieres and all went up together. Before the dance, they went to Olive Garden and had a nice sit-down dinner. Sarah had a lot of fun and even danced a bit. They had pictures taken as well.
Angela and I went and picked them up after the dance and the whole way home, they didn’t stop talking about it. Sarah was excited to go rather then going to the school-sponsored dances. It seems as though the school ones are getting worse and worse. There are things that go on during some of the school dances now days that I can’t even type here. It’s nice to know that there are opportunities like this for the kids to have some clean fun and feel good about themselves when they get home.
