Once upon a time.......
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A YOUNG GIRL WHO DREAMED OF HAVING BEAUTIFUL DRESSES TO WEAR. THE YOUNG GIRL'S WISE MOM ALWAYS HAD TO SAY NO THOUGH BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR HER TO WEAR THESE EXPENSIVE AND LAVISH DRESSES TO. SO THE YOUNG GIRL WOULD PICK OUT THE PLAIN DRESSES THAT DIDN'T SHIMMER AND SWOOSH AND WEAR THEM TO SCHOOL. THE SAD YOUNG GIRL WOULD FILL UP NOTEBOOKS OF DRAWINGS, SKETCHES AND DREAMS OF ALL THE DRESSES SHE WOULD OWN ONE DAY AND EVEN HAS DRAWN HER WEDDING DRESS. FINALLY THIS YOUNG GIRL ISN'T SO YOUNG INSTEAD SHE HAS GROWN INTO A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY AND IS GOING TO HER FIRST HOMECOMING DANCE!! OH WAS THIS YOUNG LADY EXCITED AND THRILLED MORE THEN YOU CAN IMAGINE. SHE DOESN'T EVEN NEED A DATE, JUST WANTS THAT DRESS AND SOMEWHERE FANCY TO WEAR IT TOO.
SO THE WISE AND SECRETLY NERVOUS MOM TOOK THIS YOUNG LADY AND HER YOUNGER SISTER SHOPPING TO FIND THE PERFECT DRESS FOR HER. HOW WAS SHE TO ONLY PICK OUT ONE WHEN THERE WERE SOOOO MANY THAT SHE WANTED. THE SISTERS HAD FUN PICKING THEM OUT AND TRYING THEM ON. THE WISE MOM TOSSED SOME ASIDE AND SAID NO WAY CAN YOU WEAR THAT ONE !! FINALLY WE HAD OUR TOP 3 PICKED OUT. A BLACK ONE, A SILVER ONE AND THE PURPLE ONE AND OF COURSE WE HAD TO PICK THE PURPLE ONE SINCE THE YOUNG LADY LOVES THIS COLOR. EVEN THOUGH THE PRICE FOR THE DRESS WAS MORE THEN THE WISE MOM WANTED TO PAY IT STILL WASN'T THAT BAD.
SO AFTER PAYING FOR THIS MUCH AWAITED DRESS WE HAD LUNCH AND LAUGHED AND ENJOYED OURSELVES. THE YOUNGER SISTER STARTED DREAMING ABOUT HER DRESS THAT WE WOULD BE GETTING NEXT YEAR WHEN SHE IS A FRESHMAN. THE POOR WISE MOM ISN'T THRILLED WITH BUYING 2 DRESSES NEXT YEAR BUT KNOW IT'S GOING TO MAKE HER YOUNGER DAUGHTER HAPPY TOO.
SO NOW THE YOUNG LADY HAS BROUGHT HOME THIS PERFECT DRESS AND IT'S HANGING ON THE CLOSET DOOR WHERE SHE CAN STARE AT IT ALL DAY/NIGHT AND DREAM ABOUT IT AND MAKING SURE IT'S REAL. SHE IS SO EXCITED TO WEAR IT AND CAN'T WAIT. THE DANCE ISN'T FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS THOUGH.
THE YOUNG LADY WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME WITH SOME OF HER FRIENDS AND MAYBE MEET A NEW PRINCE, WHICH MOM IS HOPING NOT... THE MOM AND DAD WILL BE SITTING UP WAITING TO GO GET HER AND HOPING EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FOR THEIR DAUGHTER AND IT'S A MAGICAL NIGHT.
THE SAD MOM IS NOT LOOKING FORWARD ALREADY NOW TO BUYING A TUX FOR HER LITTLE MAN WHEN HIS TIME COMES AND HAS DECIDED TO LOCK HIM IN HIS ROOM TILL HE'S 18, SO SHE CAN KEEP HIM HOME WITH HER. JUST THINKING ABOUT HER KIDS GROWING UP IS MAKING HER TEARY EYED AND WANTING FREEZE TIME.
THIS STORY WILL CONTINUE NEXT MONTH WHEN YOU SEE THE YOUNG PRINCESS WEARING THIS GOWN AND LOOKING BEAUTIFUL AND HAPPY. WISH THE MOM AND PRINCESS LUCK ON THIS NEXT ADVENTURE !!

ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking of locking both my kids up till they are 30 LOL. Its not easy, as a mother we want them to grow and spread their wings but we also want to keep them safe and hold onto them for just a little longer. Our kids grow up so fast and the ride is getting more scary, but I have to believe in them and wish them a safe but magical journey.
I am so looking foward to the big night.
Love me :-)
