The ball! Hooray for the ball!

After months and months, the day we seriously thought would never come finally did arrive. I absolutely had a blast! I thought everything went off very well. All the guys behaved, no hutting, and so on and so forth. We began with the Grand March, in which I was escorted by Jesse, and the night flew by in a magical whirl until we came, unbelievably, to the last waltz with my wonderful and incredibly talented and handsome dad.



A few memorable moments. The Spanish Circle was announced and my partner Mr. Evan Yerkes wished to begin dancing with my lovely sister and her partner Mr. Jordan Yerkes so we led a "dignified trot" across the floor and slid into place just before Miss Sarah McClure and Mr. Joshua Jones, and I felt very bad because we stole their place. But then we all had a good laugh because it was the Yerkes, dancing with the ********** (last name ommitted), and the Jordans were dancing together.
The ribbon on my dance card came untied so my father was retying it when Daniel Alders came to ask for a dance. I didn't know what to say so I said "I would be delighted, but my father is retying my card so you'll have to wait a minute."
My dance card was:
Grand March and Waltz Mr. Jesse Rasmussen
Virginia Reel Mr. Joshua Jones
Oslo Waltz Mr. Jordan Yerkes
Lili Marlene Mr. Daniel Alders
Road to the Isles Mr. Drew Alders
Apat Apat Mr. Caleb Jones
Waltz Mr. Nicholas Reese
Yankee Doodle Mr. Nathanael Dean
Spanish Circle Mr. Evan Yerkes
Come Let Us Be Joyful Mr. Joshua Jones
Miss Joy Jones
Broom Waltz Mr. Branden Selman
Virginia Reel Mr. Nathanael Dean
Waltz Dad



And now depression sets in. After months and months, the day we thought would never come will never come again. It's over.
