Brittany's Senior Prom...her last one...was on Saturday night. The day started off by taking her in to get her hair done. I loved sitting there watching the transformation from an 18 year old girl (in MY eyes) to a beautiful young woman. It just about took by breath away!
After we got home, we ate a quick lunch, then Brittany began putting on her makeup. I'd walk past the bathroom every few minutes or so just to make sure things were moving along smoothly. Thankfully, she didn't have any "makeup malfunctions", as she calls them. Whew...one more worry off the list! After she finished her makeup, she slipped into her dress. Ever have one of those WOW! moments? Well, that was definitely one for me! I know she's my daughter and all, but she looked drop-dead gorgeous! See...

Patrick arrived right on time and gave her a pretty corsage. Here she is attempting to pin his boutonniere on without stabbing him in the chest. I think it was a close call! 
Everyone met over at Chateau Elan for pictures and to get picked up by the limo. It was so windy and all the girls were in a panic that their hair was getting messed up...Brittany, especially! Here they all are together...they looked like a rainbow!
Here's one last shot of Brittany and Patrick...yes, he is VERY tall! Brittany was wearing 3-inch heels!
And here's a picture of the entire group lined up in front of their limo! They had such a fun night! Brittany got home at 3:30 AM and came into our bedroom to tell us she'd made it home alright. Her voice was music to my ears!
Looks like I survived yet another milestone no worse for wear. Now, the real test is only two weeks away!
I'll do my best to visit all of you today or tomorrow. Abby has her final choral performance this evening, so I'm short on time. I so appreciate your continued support and understanding during this crazy, stressful, and emotional time in my life. I'm trying to savor each and every second the best I know how!

Been there, done that, survived. My daughter will be 30 in a month. The milestones will continue and you will survive them (with a few...ok...buckets of tears). Brittany was so beautiful. I actually went and pulled out Kat's last prom picture after reading your post...before commenting....tender moment...hugs to you!
