on saturday, ryan went to his first high school dance - well it wasn't at the high school but it's just the same. i've said it so many times but it's so much more difficult for me to have a son go through high school than it was for me. two hours before the dance, the gal he was going with wasn't sure if she was going - she didn't have anything to wear...such a girl thing. well she decided to go - one hurdle down. we had to return the jacket we rented because it was way too small so right before we left, ryan wanted to get dressed. well, now the pants were way too small. wear jeans - they'll look awesome and they did. randy and I went to take the jacket back (and the pants now) when they informed us that dress code wouldn't allow him to wear jeans - now what. get another pair of pants - take out the hem in the other pants - get a refund on the jacket (gave us too much - didn't have time to tell him - we'd figure it out the next day when we brought the tux back). headed to rory's house (him and mary were going with ryan and ani). mary and ani brought flowers for the boys - rory bought a flower for mary - we forgot a flower for ani (way to go - totally forgot!). after pictures, they headed off - man how i hate watching him leave with a group of teenagers. it never ever gets easier. they went out for pizza, movie, dance (stayed until 11), movie back at mary's then sleeping at travis'. he said he had a good time - "some good, some not so good".
