Dawn's Homecoming.. (Photo Intense)

Yesterday was the big day. And what a day it was. We had an assembly at school at 11:00am. This is where they announced to the students the winners for homecoming court. Minus the friends that Dawn couldn't keep a secret with this was the where the rest of the students learned the results of the school votes. They announced the freshman winners first. As the freshman were announced there was some cheering and clapping. Then they announced the sophomores. When they announced Dawn I really didn't know what to expect. She has only been attending this school now for 5 weeks. I expected some to cheer (friends mainly) and was hopeful the school would except her as winning a good thing and cheer for her. To our surprise when they announced Dawn's name the entire gym erupted in cheers, applause, all the varsity cheer leaders sitting in front of Mandy and I jumped yelling.. It was quite a sight to see. This Georgia girl who had only been in the state for 5 mths, and in school for 5 weeks to make this kind of an impression.. It was freaking AWESOME!!! After the assembly Mandy and I rushed Dawn to the start of the parade. Students and teachers all swarmed Dawn to get hugs and pictures made with her. Dawn rode in the back of a 1966 Mustang convertible for the parade along with the other sophomore guy that won homecoming court. She had a blast. Later that day we headed over to the ball game and waited for half time. 13 Cives folks including wife's and kids all showed up at the game to support Dawn. Long story short it was a fun and awesome time. For us and for Dawn.. Pictures below.. (Click on them to enlarge and scroll through)
