Take Me Back Tuesday ~ 2
It's time, once again, to go into the photo archives of the Mrs. It's really interesting the things you can find if you just dig to the bottom of the shoe box.
I give you, my very first homecoming. (I've cropped out 2 people to protect their identity.)
Yes, that goofball was my very first love. I was in 9th grade and he did not go to my school so I had to get permission to bring him. (insert eye-roll here) Also, the rules about the dresses girls were allowed to wear were so strict, I chose to buy a pretty pant-suit instead. Isn't that sad? I was comfortable but MAN, what a strict school. Hmph! Oh yah...I almost forgot...there was NO DANCING at this homecoming. NO WAY. You show up, listen to music and eat. That's it.
Don't you wish you went to my school? lol
I'll give them credit and say they did loosen up after a few years but we had to "fight for our right to paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarty." (If you want to call it a "party".)
Well, finding this picture helped me start my morning with a giggle. I wonder what ever happened to that goofy guy.
Don't forget to visit Kari to play along!

You are so cute! It sounds like something from "Footloose"! I cannot believe you could not even dance. Thanks for sharing!

Great photo AMy, you are beautiful and your date was not too bad either. :) I would have loved to have worn a pantsuit. We had to have our dresses inspected, er, approved prior to dances.

You look so beautiful! Forget the silly dress code you rock everything you wear.

You look so nice, great memory. I can't believe they wouldn't let you dance!

Too cute! Sounds like a very strict school - hmmph! Mine was a bit more relaxed, but still held a decent dress code. Though I never actually attended any high school dances. Not a one.

It looks like a dress, very pretty. You both have great smiles! Did you read about the kid that was suspended from his really strict private school this week for going to a prom at a public school?

I have to agree with Speedy, it sounds like you lived the movie Footloose! Crazy!
You are adorable and your date looks like he was a lot of fun. I am always afraid to post pictures of ex's on my blog for fear they will actually find me.... :)
