Woodstock Middle School has a homecoming dance every year. Last year Abby went with her friend Jessica. This year she went with her boyfriend Mark. She has talked about Mark and how she was excited to go. We had planned on dropping her off and her meeting up with him at the dance. Earlier this week she asked if it would be alright if Mark and his mom picked her up at our house. Sure I said. It didn't hit me until he came and I saw them together, that this was the first boy that has picked her up. Sure, she has had little crushes on other boys but she and Mark have been "dating" since school started. I really wanted to cry! When did she grow into this beautiful young lady! I was watching her getting ready and she seemed so grown up! I still can't believe she is 8th grade! She will be in High School NEXT year!! She looked so pretty!
She is taller than me even without heels!
We had called and talked to Mark's mother earlier in the day. She is Abby's PE teacher at school. We felt very comfortable with her driving them to the dance. They arrived and we had to get pictures! He was a gentleman. He introduced himself and shook our hands. He brought Abby a corsage too!
Look how cute they are. He even has his arm around her. OH MY GOSH he has his arm around her!!!
This was a silly picture. We told them to point and look up!
They were ready to leave. Mark said it was nice to meet us. They walked down the driveway. He opened the car door for her. Then off they went. My baby was on her first "date"! I really, no kidding, wanted to cry!!!
Oh my...so not looking forward to this one day. Yikes. Thank goodness I still have a few years.
