Prom 2014

Prom was last friday night. It was an absolute blast! I have a friend who has a friend who's in beautician school and so stuff is super cheap, so I went and got my hair and nails done; it was tons of fun. Mum wasn't home when Sam was supposed to pick me up, so she'd asked my dad and older brother Rex to take pictures before we left. He's a little protective =).

We met up with Julia and Mattias at Cafeteria 15L in Sacramento and took a few pictures in the courtyard before eating.

The food was so good! I had chicken and waffles - not very fancy, I know, but absolutely delicious! And we got two desserts to split, Julia and Mattias had skillet s'mores and Sam and I got a butterscotch brownie sundae, which was just butterscotch brownie still in a little skillet (a very hot skillet) with icecream on top. It was amazing.

We walked through Capitol Park again before Mattias put out a "ping" with a program called Lift. If you've ever seen those cars driving around cities with pink mustaches on their front grill you've seen a Lift car. It all works through an app; you put out a "ping" and within moments you get a page showing a picture of a car and a picture of a person and you decide whether you want them as your driver or not. If you decide you do - as we did - then you except it and it alerts the driver of where you are. He or she picks you up and you direct them to where you want to go. We had a very nice driver whose name I unfortunately do not remember.

We didn't have a camera with us this year so we don't have many pictures of prom itself other than the formal shots they took. Despite being absolutely adorable and quite photogenic Julia dislikes having her photo taken and down right refused to have it taken alone. But all the rest of us posed and they got some nice ones of her and Mattias.
