Decision Day!

Yesterday was a day of decision for Benjamin Sloan Strait!

Benjamin is going to the Prom!  He asked a girl to Prom, and she said YES!  Of course, in modern parlance, it was by text, while they were in class together.  What can I say?  I used to pass notes back and forth to girls I liked (ye ancient mode of texting).

This will be his first school dance, except for one in Junior High, which he attended because he was a character in a movie Film Club was making.

He does have dance experience, working under the tutelage of Sarah and David Rollison at Cotillion.  Now, Benjamin helps Sarah with the new Cotillion classes.  And he did dance in The Addams Family (hey, he was better than me!).

Mama and Dad have tickets to Waitress in Jacksonville on the afternoon of the night of the Prom, but we intend to race back here for the Senior Walk.  

Also yesterday, Alison, as she was looking at registration information at a college Benjamin had been accepted at, asked Benjamin, "If we wait to see if the University of Georgia accepts you, are you going to want to go there?  Or are you going to decide on this other college anyway?"

"You're right, Mom," Benjamin said (or a reasonable paraphrase thereof).  "I've already decided I'd rather go to the other one."


Sooooo...

Georgia College & State University it is!!!

Woohoo!

Decisions made!

Prom, here comes Benjamin!

Milledgeville, get ready! 

Double woohoo!
