Josh Preference

Josh went to preference with Peyton Fairchild. Their group went to the Contact Climbing Gym for their day date and then to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Then they went to Chuck-A-Rama for dinner. They were planning on Olive Garden, but the line was too long. After the dance they went hot-tubbing at one of the girls' houses. Josh said that it was a fun day!

Preference

Jaiden asked Cameron Hugunin to Preference...

Today was the day!! Other couples were Gwendalyn and Gabe, Emily and Maddox, Keirra and Keaton. It was pretty chill (and cheap) which is nice! One of the boys (Gabe Layton) was in a Rugby game today, so they incorporated that into their date. They went to someone's house and decorated posters and then they all went to cheer him on at his game! Then they had grilled cheese sandwiches at someone's house and painted little plates and mugs (the kind where you use special markers and then put them in the oven to set the paint.) That was fun, but all of Jaiden's sunflowers turned from yellow to brown after she cooked it, ha ha! 

They came home and got ready for the dance. Jenna is the newest hairstylist in the family and did Jaiden's hair for the dance. She is getting really good at it! Man, I sure could have used her skills last year when I was struggling to get Jaiden and Janelle's hair done up all fancy for dances at the same time! Jenna loves it and is always doing interesting hairstyles on herself and on her friends! Jaiden had asked me to take their preference pictures and so I took them at the Opera House. It was freezing! But at least it wasn't raining. (They moved the dance from the outside tennis courts to the commons area inside the high school due to the threat of possible rain in the weather forecast.) They then went to dinner at Keirra's Grandma's house (Cafe Rio style sweet pork). After the dance they came to our house for key lime pie and Jackbox games! 

Preference Royalty

Jaiden got voted to be on royalty (again)! Last time it was for Homecoming and this time for Preference! She was voted "Most likely to be on Broadway!" Topher received "Most likely to be on Broadway" for the boys. This morning they had their assembly. I really wanted to go watch, but I had an interpreting job in the morning that had been on my calendar for a month. I tried seven different interpreters looking for someone to cover it but no one could. Oh well! At least I got her to take some pictures for me! 

 

Preference -- Jared

Jared went to Preference with Charlotte Apple.  They went hiking in the morning with their group in Kayenta. It had been raining all day on Friday and off and on today, but must have been okay for their hike! They went out to eat at the Black Bear Diner and then to the dance, which was held at the Gardener Ballroom at DSU and then played games at one of the friend's houses. Jared said that the date was awesome!
