Well, Kelsie has just been picked up for her first ever school dance. Actually, that’s not entirely true. She’s been to a couple others dances before, but she was in jeans and red canvas Converse hi tops, so it wasn’t “formal.”

Tonight’s shindig was formal, complete with the shopping for a dress, not finding what she wanted, fight with Mom, finally settling on a 50′s style dress, having the zipper come out a few days before the dance (and having to return it and go through the drama of buying the same dress a size larger only because her size wasn’t in), almost losing her boyfriend’s class ring, realizing where she left it, calling to confirm it was there (at a friend’s house; it was), getting ready, then sitting for 14 minutes waiting on him and freaking out the entire time.

When all was said and done, she and her boyfriend Jacob left for the dance (transported by his parents) without a hitch, and order was restored at Casa de Wally.
