| Junior Prom |
Kelley Lynn at Between the Bookends and Emily R. King are hosting an “Oh, Those High School Dances! Blog Hop” today.
People are sharing photos and stories from high school dances.
I thought I would put a 2012 spin on my 1988 junior high school prom.
Here’s a tweet, if there had been Twitter back then:
Prom date works at flower shop. Can you tell? Dancing night away w/ #friend @BrotherWaylon #verycasual #havingfun
I attended Junior Prom with a friend I met at an FBLA camp — that’s Future Business Leaders of America. Oh, I had so much fun traveling around the state of Georgia attending competitions, camps and conferences in high school. It was a great way to get out of the comfort bubble of my small hometown and meet new people. I met my friend and future prom date Brother Waylon (I can’t remember why we called him Brother. I did live in the South).
If you need a dose of high school inspiration or maybe a giggle at our outfits, visit the other blogs on the hop.
Dana
This brings back memories! Love the tweet–those flowers are something. 😉
Stacy S. Jensen
They were Dana.
Karen S. Elliott
What a fun idea! I’d have to do some serious digging to find any of my prom photos!
Stacy S. Jensen
Karen, I ran across this during my search for A to Z photos. I was just lucky I found one.
Joanna
This whole prom things is such a foreign concept to a European, as is the big graduation thing in high school, but sure am enjoying these blog memories today.
Stacy S. Jensen
Joanna, It makes for funny teen movies here in the U.S.
Danielle B.
The flowers were a nice touch! And you guys look great. Love the tweet!
Stacy S. Jensen
Thanks Danielle.
ilima
Those flowers are pretty cool. And I love the balloon rainbow. 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
Ilima, The balloon rainbow/arch things were all the rage.
Emily R. King
The pearl necklace adds a nice touch. Ha! And look at all those balloons. Nice!
Stacy S. Jensen
Emily, yes fake pearls are always classy.
Tyrean Martinson
Love that twitter post, and those balloons – so 80s . . .I remember.
Stacy S. Jensen
Tyrean, I wonder what they do for present day proms!
Small Town Shelly Brown
I was going to mention the flowers but you beat me to the punch (and did it so much better than me as well. that tweet was made of awesomeness)
I also love that you called your date Brother. I hope that wasn’t too awkward 😉
Stacy S. Jensen
Shelly, Proms are intended for awkwardness. 🙂
Michael Offutt, Tebow Cult Initiate
THis blog fest is kind of fun. I like peeking into people’s lives.
Stacy S. Jensen
Yes Michael. It is.
Johanna Garth
I think we had the same balloon back drop! You look adorable!
Stacy S. Jensen
Thanks Johanna. You are too kind.
Jenny Morris
Love the flower and the pretend tweet. ;0)
Stacy S. Jensen
Jenny, I thought a tweet might make for a shorter post, but I still rattled on.
Kelley Lynn
The pretend tweet is priceless! I’m sure that’s how its done now 🙂 haha
And I love that… ‘not sure why we called him Brother’ haha
Stacy S. Jensen
Kelley, When you get old like me, you tend to forget some of those details.
Angela Cothran
LOVE the tweet! I will admit I noticed the hair first and the freaking long flower second 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
Angela, I was trying to ignore the hair issue ….
Annmarie Pipa
haha the tweet is funny.

Stacy S. Jensen

Lara Schiffbauer
That is a flower, all right. 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
Yes. Lara. Yes it is.
Patricia T.
Love the photo — can’t believe you graduated in 1988 — 19 yrs after me. I never went to a prom.
Stacy S. Jensen
Patricia, I actually graduated in 1989. This was from my junior prom. 🙂 I would have survived without the prom experience.
elizabeth seckman
Your dress is so tame for the 80’s…way to go classic!
Stacy S. Jensen
Elizabeth, Thanks. It was different from many of my classmates dresses.
Trisha
Lovely 80s number, but yeah, it’s not that freaky. haha
Stacy S. Jensen
Trisha, Thanks.
Leigh Covington
HA! This is great! And your tweet just set the tone perfectly! I love the flower though. It’s pretty, but might make dancing a little difficult! 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
Leigh, I’m sure I left it in the car after the pictures.
Candylynn Fite
Great photo, Stacy!!
Stacy S. Jensen
