TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF).

BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
It makes me feel old that I had finished law school before some of you kids went to your HS proms...
You're not THAT old.
I spent this evening at a HS graduation party for the daughter of one of DH's high school classmates. One of the girls said that she hopes that she's as cool as me when she's "old." I know she meant it as a compliment, so I'm taking it as such Also, I am literally twice her age, so I probably do seem really damn old.

General question: Were juniors also able to go prom, even if their date wasn't a senior? Our school was grades 10-12 and only seniors could go (seniors could bring juniors or sophomores as their dates though). My senior year they brought up freshman to the high school, so I don't know the rules changed after I graduated.
I know my school was and still is seniors only. But seniors could bring a guest aged freshman-20 years old if they do the correct paperwork.

I had to think for a second about the math, then I remembered that your DH is the same age as mine.
I go out to do assessments on teenagers whose parents are younger than me. That makes me feel old.

Did you have fun at prom? Yes.
What year did you go? 2006, 2007, 2008
Who did you go with? The first time I was a sophomore invited by a senior (this dude has a major crush on me for ages). I went with two girlfriends and we all swapped each other's dates for the evening because they pissed us off. 2nd time. I took some poor sophomore and it was sooo awkward I ditched him and danced with another guy all night. Which was more awkward when said guy tried to go on a date with me later (not my type). Senior year I went with my boyfriend that I was madly in "love" with at the time. He later dumped me after I went to college via email. #winner Are you still in contact with them? None of them. But I don't live back at home either.
What did your prom attire look like? Dress 1- shimmery lavender spaghetti strap with handkerchief hem (very I dream of Jeanie) Dress 2- tea length black dress with white belt very classy Dress 3- beautiful blue satin halter top
Was it held anywhere cool? Two years it was at a local college. Senior year was at a carriage house on a historic plantation. So not really. Typical ballrooms.
Did it have a theme? It did and I don't remember.
Did you do anything fun before or after? No & no. Unless you count going back to my boyfriends house senior year
And other details or stories you want to tell us? Don't judge me for ditching my date...... It was sooo awkward.

Ours was for Juniors and Seniors but a younger student could go if you were dating a Sr or Jr. My HS was grades 9-12.

Can I play?
Did you have fun at prom? Yes
What year did you go? 2003 & 2004
Who did you go with? 2003 I went with my best friend from church and her brother who was a year younger. She went with another church friend who's younger brother is now my BIL. I was homeschooled that year so the only people we knew were each other but the homeschool coalition in our area threw a big "prom" for everyone. 2004 I was back in public school and went with my HS boyfriend
Are you still in contact with them? Not really, the first family moved to a different church and I see them on Facebook but that's it. My HS boyfriend and I got married and divorced which puts a damper on friendly contact.
What did your prom attire look like? I wore the same dress both years but my senior year I sewed on black lace embellishments and liked it way more. Junior year: Awkward prom photo
Mr. Icecream cone is the one that is now my sister's BIL
Senior year: I can't find my prom album but this was stuck in my senior book.
Was it held anywhere cool? Junior year was just a random auditorium. Senior year was a convention center downtown so that was kind of cool.
Did it have a theme? Senior year was a night in Paris. I don't remember junior.
Did you do anything fun before or after? Junior year I spent the night at my friend's house and her brother, her, and I swam in her pool until we got tired.
Senior year we did a cook out at his parents before and then after we did post prom/Denny's/ then crashed at his place.
And other details or stories you want to tell us? H and I went to the same high school but never dated. As I was going through my senior book I came across this gem of husbandcarder
I didn't go to Prom. Between ages 14-19, those were some of the worst years of my life.
I am sad that I can't get those years back. Everytime I see a prom re-do on a tv show or movie, I fantize that my husband will do that for me one day. But that would be stupid and a waste of money. But a girl can dream, right? Ha.

Awww that would be sweet. Maybe someday at least a RTR dress, get hair done, nice dinner, and go somewhere with dancing? Or come home and dance in the living room all dressed up? You'd probably have more fun than a lot of us did at our proms!

Actually, when you put it like that, it's very doable. Great idea!
And other details or stories you want to tell us? I took my boyfriend's virginity after junior prom. I should mention he was a couple years older than me. I was not a virgin. He didn't even tell me until after! Woops!
Oh and he also happened to be my bffs step cousin. Fun times.

We had a prom for juniors and a different prom for seniors. I think you could bring anyone in the school but needed permission if they went to another school. We had about 450 kids in each graduating class so we had plenty of people to support two proms.

I didn't go to prom. My boyfriend and I broke up about a month or so before so I didn't feel like going. I did however throw the after party which was fun!

What year did you go? 2003
Who did you go with? My boyfriend at the time.

What did your prom attire look like? It was kind of a plain black halter dress. The two piece sequined dresses were really in but I was all damn the man and wore black.
Was it held anywhere cool? Just at the local event hall place where they had pretty much all of the proms.
Did it have a theme? I'm sure it did.
Did you do anything fun before or after? After we hung out with some friends and drank, then went to the school's after prom party. I remember it was actually kind of fun but we had all sorts of raffles and I didn't win a damn thing.
We weren't virgins, we partied pretty much every weekend, I remember prom wasn't a big deal to me but I guess I went because that's what we were 'supposed to do' ::shrug::

I think it's adorable that Rama and @mrsjohnmarston married their high school sweethearts. So sweet. Both of my sisters married their high school boyfriends too.

I am grateful every day that I did NOT marry my high school sweetheart!
Did you have fun at prom? Yes. The senior year was better though. What year did you go? 2005 & 2006
Who did you go with? Junior year I went with a friend and we decided to go the week before so we had to scramble. We ended up dating off and on until I graduated undergrad. Senior prom I went with a guy who I was sorta dating but it didn't last long. We were in the same group of friends.
Are you still in contact with them? No. But senior proms sister does my flu shot every year at work. Which is awkward.
What did your prom attire look like? Halter dresses both years. Junior was coral and senior was cream. Princess poofy.
Was it held anywhere cool? Event center downtown.
Did it have a theme? Yes! Our mascot was Knights so it was always something like "A Knight to Remember"
Did you do anything fun before or after? Junior we just went back to my house and watched movies. The other couples we were with went drinking and we were both not interested. Senior year we went to after prom then someone's parents made us breakfast and we hung out and watched the logging competition because nothing was on tv.
And other details or stories you want to tell us? I'm pretty sure I threw out my prom pictures. It was weird looking at them after I got married.

My school does a Junior/Senior prom. Juniors and Seniors were allowed to invite any student at that school and needed to fill out paperwork to invite cross-school/slightly out of school people.
