Anna Olson decided to ask her roommate, Jacob Williams, to accompany her to prom this year. Jacob was honored to be asked, and quickly said yes. He couldn't wait to get dressed up and go dancing. When the day of prom came, Anna and Jacob invited their families over to take pictures. Both prom-goers got ready in a flash and enjoyed all of the compliments from their families about how good they looked. After taking pictures in the backyard, Jacob and Anna went out to eat before heading to the dance. While walking through the halls of the school before grand march, Anna saw a lot of classmates who complimented her on her dress, nails, and hair. Anna smiled and clapped her hands after each compliment. When Anna's and Jacob's names were announced during grand march, the whole crowd cheered and applauded. After walking through and waving to the crowd, Jacob talked to his family for a little bit before the dance started. Anna and Jacob were the first ones on the dance floor. Anna enjoyed the music, and Jacob really enjoyed the flashing lights. After roughly 45 minutes of dancing, both Anna and Jacob were all danced out and wanted to head home. They both had a lot of fun, and Jacob said that he couldn't wait to go to his school's prom! A Night at the Prom SAVE THE DATE!
