karen had her baby. he was born yesterday at 4:32 pm and weighed 10 pounds 13 ounces. steve said that he looked just like him. no name yet. congratulations to my friend!
last night was the harvest ball so i got all dressed up. i even wore the necklace natalie got me for my birthday. it is really too much for me--something i never would have picked but i was in the mood to go over the top. besides it kind of matched sarah's red shoes that i was going to wear. it was fun at the ball. we didn't sit with the clarke clique--maybe that is because we were there first and not exciting enough to sit with. i had invited some friends to come and so i spent most of the time with them. brent didn't dance with me even once, but i was asked by other people--kind of a different thing for me. i don't think anyone besides dad or brent has asked me to dance since my single days. the first guy was that older guy with the weird son who asked amy on a date last year. the one whose dad said to get one for him while he was at it. he got me when i was just going out, so i said no, but felt kind of guilty. the other one was a williams boy. the older socially inept one. apparently brent was jealous. on the way home he kept asking me if i was disappointed that we didn't dance. actually i wasn't. i know brent doesn't like dancing so i go with low expectations on the dancing front. its more about dressing up and socializing. amy came just after our friends left and she came and sat with us. she shared her chocolate with me. it makes me feel special that she will hang out with me at something like that--like we're friends and i'm not too old to be her friend. haha. silly, but true. i remember last year's harvest ball where lots of guys and old men were asking amy to dance. she wore bethany's prom dress and brad kept caressing the netting or frills or something on the bottom of it. haha-poor amy.
