Cultural Dinner and a Homeschool Ball!

   This week (on Friday) we had the end-of-year cultural dinner with the vanguard group. There was so much good food, my favorites were probably the chicken mom made and the ravioli stuff. After we did the awards I gave the mentors:
   Sister Bates: The wise Kong-Fu mentor
Sister Edwards: The youthful grandma
Sister Bird: Fantastic food and frank facts
Sister Johnson: Our favorite Fibonacci
Sister Pack: The snazzy secretary
I got the award of "A joy to be around" and they gave me an "almond joy" :)
  
 I was really nervous for the ball but I didn't have a choice so I went off with the other girls to go get into our prom dresses. My prom dress is cream white with a pretty bead pattern it's strapless... But prom dresses are hard to find with sleeves :). Cassia's dress was so pretty It was a dark midnight blue with little sparkle jewel things It looked so good on her! But we were both so nervous, all the other girls were so excited freaking out but I could not see what was so good about it. I had no clue how to dance I had never been to a dance and I was so scared. So Cassia and I stayed near the back as we all walked in, unsure of what to do...
   We waited for half an hour playing ninja while we waited for the music to start when they finally got it working Nic (the DJ) got up and said that we were going to have every-other-one a fast song and then a slow song. I was so relived! I didn't think there would be any fast songs, just slow boring songs that would make everything awkward. The first dance was amazing and from then on I enjoyed myself. The first slow dance as the girls were being asked to dance I went over to Kylee and Ashley who were sitting in the back and asked them to come and dance. Which they wouldn't. Then they both kind of smiled looking at something behind me I didn't realize it until someone was right behind me and put their hands over my eyes. My first thought was "Dad?" But no! I turned around and there was Nic He grinned at my shocked face and asked me if I would like to dance with Isaiah who proved to be an amazingly good dancer!! But my mission to get Kylee and Ashley to dance did not fail for Nic went over and asked Ashley who said no :( and then he asked Kylee who said yes :).
  
 The next slow dance Nic asked me to dance And the one after that was girls-ask-guys so I pushed Cassia over to Nic against her will but to bad and asked her to go ask him... Which she did :) I liked all the fast dances. Even though many times I was out of breath :) Sadly Ashley did not dance to any of the slow dances :( maybe we can get her to next time!
   It was a good end-of-year celebration! Even though I'm sad it's over.
