I will start with how she was asked, about 2 weeks before prom:
She was in class when a girl came to her class asking for Audrianna (everyone calls her Audri or Audrianna so she figured it was for her, and it was) The girl had a fish bowl filled with Gold fish crackers and a note that said: "If wishes were fishes and you had 3. I hope that one would be to go to prom with me" Then also something to the effect that she would have to search thru the goldfish to find out who was asking. He had written the letters of his name on the back of a few goldfish so she had to find those and unscramble it. It was a good friend of hers, Devan. <><
She responded by baking him a giant chocolate chip fish cookie, making a tinfoil hook in it's mouth and wrote in frosting "I'll Bite!" She was going to have it delivered it his classroom, but he wasn't at school and it was a friday so she just took it to his house later that day. <><
Fast forward a couple days, I suggested Adrie try on her dress (which we had bought back in September) to make sure it still fit. It didn't!! And she only had a week till prom. Not good at all! First she checked with her friends. None of her friends are the same size as her. Her best friend, Malin, is a twig...5'10 and wears a size 0! Most of her other friends are at least a couple of sizes larger than Adrie, so no one had a dress that would fit :( Then we went to all the dress stores and I about had a heart attack. For prom dresses they start around $300. Not gonna happen!! We also were looking at a few home based businesses that rent dresses. With less than a week till prom, pickings were very very slim. I had messaged a couple of girls who were selling their dresses on ksl and one finally got back to me. We called and went straight over there, she had been a student body officer in high school and went to every dance. No joke, she probably had 20 dresses in that room, all either for sale or for rent and they were gorgeous! Adrie was set on red, black or white, and the girl only had one dress that fit those requirements- it was red. She tried it on and it fit perfectly!! Yay!! And for only $75, only a little more than it would have cost us to rent a dress for her elsewhere, and it's hers to keep or sell down the road.
Finding the dress was a huge relief...I think we found it on tuesday. Phew!!! Prom was Saturday, cutting it way too close!
Fast forward to Saturday, the day of the prom. For their day day they got together and went downtown to the Union Station in Ogden. One of the moms planned a scavenger hunt for them, so they first had to solve the riddles and figure out what they were looking for and then go into the various businesses on 25th street and ask for the items, silly things like toilet paper rolls and stuff. And some of the items on the list were to take pictures of themselves doing silly things. Adrie and Devan got the most items on the list and won the scavenger hunt :) Probably cuz they are just friends and didn't have to bicker and fight over stuff like the other "couples" lol.
The scavenger hunt went from 11-2ish then they rushed home, grabbed their dresses and makeup and tuxes and everything. The girls went to Kelsi's to get ready and the boys headed to one of the guys homes.
Malin, Adrie, Kelsi & Azhia getting beautiful!
The plan was to be ready and at Olive Garden by 4:45. Parents could come to Olive Garden then if they wanted to take pics. Didn't work out quite that way, they were running behind and didn't make it to the restaurant until about 6pm and it was getting cold and windy but I was able to snap a few pics.
My favorite pic of Adrie

Their little group (they were part of a bigger group)
They had a wonderful dinner at Olive garden and 4 other couples joined them there also then they went back to Kelsi's house where the Limo picked them all up (in 2 groups, I guess 16 kids was a bit much for one limo to handle, lol). The prom was held at WSU's ballroom. Adrie said it was really pretty and they had a blast. They took some pics there, which I will post below and got group pics taken, can't wait to see those! Then they danced the night away. Adrie says the boys hardly danced, but the girls danced all night long. It went until midnight and they stayed the entire time and had a fabulous night! I am so happy Adrie was able to go to her junior prom and other dances too. She has had a lot of fun and made a lot of memories <3<3<3
Adrie was worn out after dancing so much and had to sit for a bit
