The Reservations are Made...
I called yesterday to make reservations at a local restaurant where Jared and Gabs will dine before the prom. The owner was wonderful-making special accomodations so that the kids can have their own table, with my sister, her husband, and John sitting with me at a nearby foursome. Poor prom kids-it'll probably be like being on a reality TV show with us watching their every move! I told Jared the reservations are under his name. I can't wait to here him announce their arrival to the hostess. Small things mean so much more when the road to adulthood has been a long and curvy one. Gabby has been prepping as well. She tried out the manicure color that she will be using: "I'm in the Mood for Love"...She told the girl at the salon that Jared would like that color...He better not like it too much! Gabby has been working on her tan as well. Flashes of my past come at me as I listen to these kids look forward to their special day. I remember laying on the paved driveway in 40 degree weather trying to work on my tan as well-love these NY Springs! These kids are living the dream, and we are so blessed to be a part of it! I'll be sure to send pics after the big day...It's coming up in about a week and1/2!

Randy the funny things was that when Gabby originally started to tan she had her sweatshirt still on. When I asked her what she was doing she replied tanning for the prom. I could not stop laughing and before long Gabby and I were both cracking up about tanning in a sweatshirt. She finally got he swim suit on and did get a little tan. I think I have her convinced to go with the French manicure for the prom and to leave this current color for beauty and the beast this weekend. Not sure the hot pink polish is going to go with the dress. I know that we are looking forward to this magical night. As you said before and my sister said to me tonight, and we will cry. Happy tears of course but WOW, this is exciting for both of them. Who knew years ago that this would even happen. A friend of mine has a brother who is in his 50's and she said this past weekend how she wished her brother would have had this opportunity. Thank goodness for IDEA
