Prom asking and answering

Michael asked Jenna Bowen to Jr. Prom. She is a soccer player so he got a soccer ball and wrote the letters of his name in the white sections of the ball and left it with a note on her porch that said "I have seen your (candy bar) Twix on the soccer field and would have a (soccer ball - think ball) if you would go to Prom with me". Here is her answer.

Today at swim Katie has just started her warm up and was coming in to the wall and saw her name underwater. She came up and the coach and a few others were smiling and watching her. She went back down and read the whole sign that was hanging in the gutter and weighted down, a prom invitation!

Here's the back side. The letters to Andrew Harrison's name are in the red boxes. She answered him with an Easter egg hunt. She wrote YES on a paper, cut it up into jigsaw like pieces and then put the pieces into plastic eggs. She left a basket on his porch inviting him to search for his answer while we ran around frantically hiding eggs. His mom came from across the street as we were in the midst of planting eggs and said "Who's getting egged here?" then covered her eyes and said"I didn't see anything!". Caught in the act! I think the creative asking and answering process is a Utah thing. We never did anything like this in Alaska but it sure is a fun way to get asked out for a dance.

Remember my Spring flowers? Well, it's exactly that around here. The snow keeps coming and then it's warm and then it snows. I think we are all ready for warm all the time.
