Well, last night was quite the interesting night. It all started when we were at Cresta's house for pictures.
The Pictures 6PM
The people in attendance were: Chase, Sean, Jacob, Stephanie D., Cresta, Sandra, Melissa H., Brittany Neiles, Sandy (Cresta's mom), Mike (Cresta's step-dad), Pam (Stephanie's step-mom), Steven (Stephanie's dad), Donna (Chase's mom), Pat (my mom), Sandra's mom, Stephanie's mom, and Mert (Chase's dad). Well, as you can probably guess, there was a little tension at the picture-taking event (nothing was said, but I could tell). We took the pictures, and Chase's dad left early to go reserve a table at Granite City for us. We left after pictures and when we arrived at Granite City, our table was ready for us.
The Dinner 6:30PM
We sat down, and were helped immediately. We all ordered and just sat around talking enjoying ourselves. Our food came, and we began eating. It was very delicious. Half-way through dinner, Stephanie's cell phone rang. It was her dad. He said he wanted her home by midnight. This dampened the dinner, but we all tried to stay happy. We told Stephanie that Cresta's mom would talk to her dad to tell him that it would be fine for her to stay there, and that the boys wouldn't be spending the night. We finished our meals and proceeded to the school for the grand march.
The Dance 8:30PM
Well, after arriving, we went upstairs and waited in line for the grand march. They called our names, and we walked down the grand staircase. After succesfully making it down the stairs without falling, we decided to unite the parental units to discuss the night's events. After much discussion, Stephanie's dad was bent on the fact that he wanted her home by midnight. Stephanie's mom, however, said to go to Cresta's after the dance. She decided to listen to her mom, and disobey her dad. The dance was fun. We danced ALL night. We didnt' sit out for a single song. It was so much fun. I danced with a bunch of people, including one that I hoped I could dance with. I enjoyed that very much. After the dance we took some pictures, and headed off for Cresta's house.
The After-Party 12:30AM
We went to Cresta's house to watch some movies. Cresta's parents talked with Stephanie's mom, and she said that he would probably show up to take Stephanie home. She told them, that if he did, they were to call her. Well, we began watching some movies, and enjoying herself until, we got a phone call. It was Stephanie's dad. He was on his way to pick Stephanie up. Stephanie called her mom to tell her that he was at the house, and she told her to call the cops. We called the cops, while Stephanie's dad was outside knocking. The cops arrived, so did Stephanie's mom. We all hung out inside while the cops did their thing outside. Stephanie's mom came inside and said that he would probably come back. He did. He didn't try to come inside, but he just took Stephanie's car and drove off, leaving his car behind. The cops were called again, and they couldnt' do anything. The just told Stephanie that it would probably end up with a power struggle between her parents. She may have to emancipate herself in order to stay in Sioux Falls next year. We left to go eat breakfast at Perkins.
The Breakfast 5AM
We arrived at Perkins, and had a lot of laughs because we were so tired. Everyone knows that everything is funny when you are tired. After eating, and seeing some friends from Lincoln, we paid and left. We all went to our individual homes, and Stephanie's mom picked her up at Perkins. I arrived at home at 6:30, and I went right to sleep. I woke up at 4:30PM. Overall, it was a fun night. A good friend of mine told me once, that "things will turn out the way they are supposed to." Lots of love.
