Tonight was Eva’s first High School Dance. Things have changed a lot since I was a student going to dances. for one thing you have to buy the tickets in advance and online. There is a cutoff date and time and there is no showing up the night of the dance to attend. It all has to be taken care of ahead of time. Kinda kills spontaneity but it also helps to know who is going to attend.
Eva had a nice time and was able to get together with some of her friends, dance and enjoy the night. I am glad that she decided to go and had fun doing so. The theme was Neon.
Tonight Allison and I went to Feehan for the new Feehan Family night. Tomorrow is the first day of school and while we sat int he auditorium with the upper administration for a welcome and also a question and answer period Eva was in her homeroom getting to know other students. We were briefed on how drop off would go and I assume how pickup would go as well. I don’t think that was ever stated explicitly but I will do my best picking Eva up tomorrow.
When we were leaving the auditorium one of my high school friends, Jenn said hello to us and told us how her daughter was excited to meet up with Eva again after being in plays years ago. They became friendly once again during Freshman academy. So, as we are walking out of the auditorium we look across the way and see Jenn’s daughter and Eva right behind her. They had found each other at their assembly and also some other friends from Freshman Academy.
