Part of me was ready for this and part of me couldn't believe I was looking at my son, WITH A DATE!
Homecoming is the only dance Freshman are allowed to attend. I'm very thankful for this as it cost us over $300! (Suit, tickets, corsage, dinner)
We didn't get through the evening without some drama...
As I've mentioned before, Cameron is shy to a fault! It was shocking that he actually asked a girl to the dance. Of course, he did it by text - God forbid he would actually have to talk to her! And that was the problem - as of 5:30 on Saturday evening we still weren't sure she was actually going to show up!
The football game the night before, he didn't say a word to her and I watched her all night walking around with two other boys. Then he "texted" her after to make sure they were still meeting between 5 and 6 and all she said was "I guess so".
Saturday he had an out of town football game (we lost 12-6, our record is now 4-1). When he gets home, there is no message from her so he texts again. Nothing.
He then tells us that he bought her ticket and gave it to her the day before - what's to stop her from just going with someone else? He also phones his friend who is supposed be going with her friend and he doesn't even have his date's phone number to check what is going on! (my son is not alone in the disorganization department)
So, being the hyper organizing Mom that I am, I start arranging for him to meet up with other friends and go with them. I even consider getting my friend's GORGEOUS senior daughter to escort him.
Then at 5:40 p.m. the text arrives - "I'm on my way".
...And she was lovely! She had been getting her hair and nails done and didn't have her phone. 
They had a really great time but I expect they will just remain friends. Cameron would actually have to continue talking to her for it develop into anything more and why would he do that when he can just text his innermost feelings?!

I'm sitting her LOL.. I'll tell ya way in a minute.. BUT 1st let me tell you how handsome your young man looks... Those are some great pictures of them.. I do hope they had a great time.. and WOW $300 for a dance.. YICKES.. don't think my boys are aloud to go to dances when they are older LOL..
OK now for why I'm LOL.. Princess my soon to be teenage daughter and her friends went to the 7th grade football game lastnight and I ended up being the mom taking everyone home and there talk in the van was like so and so thought he was going out with so and so and thought that for 3 weeks but then he found out he wasn't going out with Abby he was going out with Addie..
I was all like "OK how do you NOT know who your girlfriend is" they all looked at me like I had two heads.. and one of Princess friends said "Well Justin got a text from Abby asking him if he wanted to go out with Addie because she really likes him He didn't read it right and though Abby was asking him out.. So he said Yes he would go out with her and he has been hanging out with Abby at school, at lunch at football game for 3 weeks now thinking she was his girlfriend.. when really it was Addie who was his girlfriend. Then Yesterday Abby texted Justin to let him know that Addie wanted to break up with him because he never talks to her or hangs out with her"
I just started LOL.. and then had a long talk with all five of the girls in my van.. that 1) girls should wait for the boys to ask them out, 2) never say yes to go out with a guy over a text.. if he ask you out on a text, text him back and say call me. because on a text you never know who it is behind the words it could be a friend or a brother or sister messing around with someones phone and 3) never say yes to go out with someone if they have someone eals doing the asking for them.. if they can't come and ask you then you dont want to go out with them anyways..
I honesty think these kids today don't have a clue how to pic up a phone and call someone it is text text text 24/7 don't get me wrong.. I'm all for texting.. but not at the cost of learning to talk to and with people... and these girls were just cracking me up..
