Chelsea's Dance Pictures..

{for a little back-story, please read the post before this one}

Recently, Springville High School had Homecoming..

The first High School dance since Chelsea graduated..

It, as I said in the previous post, made me "wax"..

Since I started this blog long after the High School Dances started, I thought I would catch everyone up on 3 years of Chelsea's Dance pictures!!

Lucky you, I know..

Bear with some of the details.. doing this for posterity, you know!

Sophomore Year

Sweethearts
February 2007

Date: Daniel Tullis.. {sophomore} {see previous post}

Type: guy-ask-girl

Dinner: homemade by Su Tullis.. {Chelsea still says its the best chicken she's ever had}

I don't know if this is the case, but I think Stuart ALSO wanted to ask Chelsea.. Since she was taken, he didn't go..

The bad news? The camera broke down, so they didn't get an official picture taken..

We only have the photos we took when he picked her up..

The next bit of bad news?

Can't seem to find the photos we took when he picked her up..
{I promise when I find them, this will be updated..}

They had another couple in their group, Matt Skaggs and Jessica Cooper..

Oh, and it rained..

A funny piece of trivia.. Daniel had his driver's license, but hadn't had it long enough that he could drive with others in the car.. So, he walked the 3 houses over, picked her up, {in the rain}, and walked her to his house, where his mom had made dinner..

AND his mom drove them to the dance..


el Cheapo
February 2007

I guess this dance is either way.. girl-ask-guy OR guy-ask-girl..

There are rules.. I don't want to explain them..

This is.. well, a cheap dance.. I guess the object is to make it as cheap as possible..

Dinner: fake scavenger hunt.. {all food pre-planted by other girls in the group}

{group, by the way, people Chelsea has never really hung around,
still not sure how this worked out}

Chelsea asks Stuart.. He can't go.. Suggests she take Daniel.. She does..

Ironically.. Can't find this picture either {really, there are photos in this post}
{again, when photo is located, it will be added..}


Is it a conspiracy that our 2 missing pictures involve Daniel??

Oh, and it rained..

Preference
March 29, 2007

Date: Christopher {Phe} Brooks {junior}

Type: girl-ask-guy

Dinner: Los Hermanos

{don't ask me about the Phe thing.. it's what he goes by.. even his parents call him this}

Okay, we don't have official pictures from this dance either..

Let's just say that these 2, in combination with the other couple in their group, Rachelle Moss & Cameron Foster, were notoriously late for everything.. Steve Brinton and Amber Beutler were also in their group..

Arrived at dance with 15-20 minutes to spare..

Didn't spend it in the picture line..

Oh, and it rained..

Sweethearts
February 9, 2008

Date: Colton Loftus

Type: guy-ask-girl

Dinner: Tucano's

We always enjoy the evolution of Colton's hair through these pictures.. {he had to shave it the week before the dance for baseball}

Best dance story! At dinner, in addition to their dance group {of 3 couples} there were many people in the restaurant that were dressed very wild.. {like Mardi Gras, or something} LOTS of short, short skirts, LOTS of cleavage etc..

When it came time to pay for dinner, the waiter handed the bill to Colton, and waited..

This seemed odd, but Colton went ahead and opened the bill..

Inside there was a note that said:

"Thank you for your example and modesty"

.. and their bill was paid!!

Oh, and it snowed..

Wow! Still love Alec's socks in that Prefence picture. Well now I am thinking I should post Dani's pictures while we remember everyone's names. HAHA! Although no one posted any comments on my last post. I am not bitter. Well maybe a little. :)

Casseron said...

This was a way fun post!! I sorta want my mom to do this for me!! HAHA Also just as a side note Phe Brooks is called "Phe" because when Justin was little he called him Christophe (yes, like luciphe on Cinderella) and eventually Phe just stuck! Also, I agree with Chelsea on the photo of her and Colton that is her favorite, it is mine also!!

Bryan and Elissa Johnson said...
