Our Homecoming dance is over, but it was a blast! The eventual event was nothing like what was planned, but the night was quite a success.Our original plans were to go for a ride on the Heber Valley Railroad's Comedy Murder Mystery Dinner Train. Hence the train in the background of the poster. Sadly, the railroad called the day before to cancel because the cast had H1N1.
We had less than 24 hours to scramble for plans. Thankfully, Jeremy came to my rescue. Within minutes he found us a backup plan in Park City.
After a fun family dinner, Elisha and I went on a double date with Jeremy and Brandon to the Egyptian Theatre for a night of stand-up comedy. Unfortunately, some of the acts balanced funny with vulgar, but overall we were able to enjoy the evening.
The best part: Jeremy and Brandon slipped away from dinner early and headed back to our hotel so they could decorate the room to look like a Homecoming dance should. They left flowers on the table, a bottle of sparkling cider in a bucket of ice, and this year's song was repeating on the CD player. There were streamers hanging from the walls, and lots of good luck charms everywhere.
Elisha wasn't expecting the tinsel on the floor, it was the first thing she noticed as we walked through the door. While I was busy turning on the fireplace, she thought the room had been broken into and trashed. Once she heard the music playing, she realized what was going on. Of course, then her heart melted.
Thanks for your help guys.
