Homecoming was October fourth. this is the one night that everyone in the school is excited about. You get to dance with friends, go out to diner,dress formal and let your energy out. This dance allows you to be free of rejection( for the most part) and just dance the night away.



My morning started by going to get my hair and make up done. My mom and I went out to Dearbon to see my cousin at her salon. When I walked through the door I was overwhelmed with chaos. it was a very small hair salon. I guess it wasn't just Livonia Stevenson's homecoming either because there were a lot of girls getting there hair done as well. It was a lot of fun, especially since it was my cousin doing it. I find it not as fun and some what awkward when you don't know the person doing your hair. I thought my hair looked so cute,my make up shocked me at first because my cousin said it would be "subtle" if my make up was subtle, I can't imagine what regular make up would look like. I enjoyed getting my hair and makeup done but the whole time I was anxious for the dance to start.

On our way home, we had to stop at a few stores. Going into the stores was weird because I had my hair and makeup done all fancy, but I had jeans and a T-shirt on. Although I got many complements, it was still uncomfortable. When I got home, I got dressed in my dress and heels and was so excited. I couldn't wait for my friends to get to my house. We spent about an hour and a half taking pictures. It was so fun. I felt like we were being attacked by the pauperizes because all the parents were taking pictures at the same exact time.

Next, we had reservations at Papa Vino's Italian restaurant. The food was delicious! Everyone was so full afterwards. Our reservations were at 4:00, and we was done with dinner within an hour, so, we had a lot of time before the dance started. We walked around outside in our dresses and heels in the sixty-degree weather. We went to Kroger's, Office Depot, Lohman's, and Petsmart. By the end of all the stores, our feet killed. Luckily, at the dance, we were able to take off our shoes, which I was grateful for.

We got to the dance about fifteen minutes early. So, there wasn't too many people there. Before we started to dance, my group put our purses and shoes in a bag that was guarded by a parent until after the dance. The dance was so fun! I can't wait for next year. Homecoming came and went. It was sad that it had to end, but it will always be in our memories.
