Texas Prom 2019

So not sure if this is the correct place but I’m posting it here and Nate move it if you need to...

As some of you know years ago and I’m still not sure why to this day Don approached me and said you need to speak to this guy Ashley from Texas. Honestly, I rolled my eyes similar to the day Don called my shop and the wife told me I needed to stop my weekly 3.5 hour mowing job to call him back. So since then Ashley and I have become pretty good cross country friends, to the point Don thinks we’re related. In the meantime my oldest you know Baylee has become friends with Ashley’s oldest Lexi.

So fast forward to I think it was Weds night this last week. Ashley texts and he’s pretty hot under the collar. Lexi has a boyfriend who decided to dump her a week prior to prom. Add to it the fact that she goes to a small school in little Gary east Texas. Her friends all have dates and after exhausting all resources went back to the clown bf to ask if they could just go to prom as friends. Guy hadn’t even rented a tux. So Dad (Ashley) has a valid reason to be upset in my book. As it were Lexi was now not going to the big dance. You get the idea, hair and nail appointments made and dress bought.

So as we’re texting about this I said “well, Baylee has a dress or twenty.” Immediately Ashley states I wouldn’t ask her to fly down here. To which my reply was “it’s just a short plane ride.” He then does the most stand up Dad thing ever and says if she’ll come I’ll buy the ticket. So I call Baylee up and tell her what’s up, no hesitation she says “I want to go!” So we clear the program with momma and rest is history.

Baylee flew to Shreveport Friday evening and it just so happens Monday is a day off of school for Baylee. She will be back in Denver at 8:30 am. Couple poser shots for you crusty old guys....

Very nice ending for such a mess to start with.

Thanks guys and Charles we all know who to call when bodies need disposed of!

Last I heard everything went as planned and they made it to prom and we’re having a great time. Word has it Ashley bought a new sxs (not that we would know because he never comes around anymore) and Baylee was promised a ride today.

That was a selfless act from the lady from Colorado, coming to the assistance of the lady from Texas.

Way to go!

I love kids like Baylee and Lexi. You hear so many stories about kids these days it is heartwarming when you see what is rarely ever reported. We still need a status report of how it all went! I'll bet they had fun. There are events in a kids life that tend to stick out and prom seems to be one of them.

Ken--- I'm sure that kid is my wife's! LOL and as a side note. I am really grateful for the choices my kids have made relative to who their friends are and who they hang around. Takes a little worry out of events like this.

Everything went well, she just landed and at airport waiting for her to get off the train.

Having chaperoned multiple Proms.....great solution, and kids who go as friends, group of friends almost always have the best time anyway!
