Change of Plans

Last Thursday, Bryon was voted into the Homecoming Court. What? Yeah, that's what he said! He came home rather surprised and skeptical. He thought his friends were pulling a prank on him. Surely it finally sunk in when he was called up to the stage at his school assembly on Friday. He came home telling me it was for real, donning the official, glorious sash:

The girl he was voted in with was Kate (on the right), a friend of his from school and seminary.

This turnout was completely baffling to him, especially since neither he NOR Kate were even planning on going to Homecoming at all and had other plans for Saturday night. We were laughing about it at home, creating extreme senarios in our conversations. After scrambling for a new plan, Bryon met up with some friends for the Friday night game:

 then showed up to the dance to fultill his courtly (is that a word?) duty. After the dance, he and his friends enjoyed a homecoming party at one of their houses...

and came home having had a good time, (even though it "inconvenienced" him a great deal to have to attend Homecoming) instead of playing some game on the town called "Commandos".

All in all, Bryon decided he was glad that he went to homecoming. Turns out the guy that arranged the whole game that night, went to homecoming instead too. 

Ahhh, the joys of High School!
