The jokes of blue tuxes, boot casts for shoes, and forgetting the corsage were staples around our house leading up to the first prom for our son.\u00a0 A little good natured ribbing is a part of the fabric that makes up our family; so the jokes were just the norm.\u00a0 As the mother of the\u00a0young man\u00a0in the couple, my traditional role was to help pay for\u00a0the tux (which after seeing the final bill made me think that creating one out of duct tape might not have been a bad idea after all).\u00a0 As shared in a previous blog, my gift of love for the young couple was to make them a coursed meal from scratch.\u00a0 http:\/\/kandynolesstevens.com\/2013\/04\/30\/one-tired-momma-and-lots-of-fun\/<\/a>\u00a0While definitely a labor of love, it was worth every scrumptious bite.<\/p>\n
