Homecoming

We have been planning this night for sometime now. It all started with Gregory getting a Football and having me write on it "Lindsey will you go to Homecoming with me #74".

Then during halftime at one of the Football games, an announcement over the stadium loudspeaker called for Lindsey to go down to the Football field and she was presented with the Football. This was all very cool and I would have pictures of this however my camera battery died( I'm a little bitter about it... Johnie has since remedied this problem by buying another battery for me). It was fun helping Gregory with the Tux fitting, getting the corsage and just generally getting to spend a little more time with him. I couldn't wait till the big night. Gregory couldn't either If nothing else just so mom would have no more reason to ask him REALLY IMPORTANT questions or bug him about all the details. Depends on whom you ask.... hmmmph whatever!!... In his words repeatedly, over every question I had, he said "MOM I GOT THIS" ! Hmmmphh really! I was quite sure he didn't HAVE THIS... We will have to settle that debate later, moving on... The big night approaches Gregory was mowing the lawn, cleaning the bathroom( all without being told...Oh my!!) and cleaning Dads truck !!! HUH.?. Why you ask, was he cleaning Dads truck. Well , there were a total of six young peeps all going together and Gregory was the driver. Dads truck holds six peeps, not comfortably mind you. It's an extended cab truck and in order to get in you have to pull forward the front seat. You get the idea...waayyyy cramped. Gregory had this brilliant idea to borrow moms brand new truck because, you know, it fits six people more comfortably and has four doors. Well, Gregory barely stated his case and Johnie shot that idea down real quick... Once again I have no pic of the expression on Gregory's face when he was deflated... But trust me the look of disgust was a prize winner... So here we finally are...

After all the pics were taken and the kids were walking out the door, Johnie said "maybe we should let them take your truck"...SAY WHAT!!!! your kidding right???? AWWWWW Johnie has a heart, go figure!?! I knew it all along, but lets not get used to the idea, don't want to ruin his rep... Johnie had seen how nice everyone looked and I think it finally dawned on him that his truck just wouldn't do...Gregory was in shock and they were totally excited, Johnie and I had what we think were the beginnings of a coronary....Soooo yes,we let a bunch of teenagers take off in our brand new truck, call us crazy. It all worked out, we got great pics, the kids had a fun night and most importantly returning my truck the way it left...Woot..Woot.. ;-)

Check out these cute couples....
