bomb prom

Yesterday was pretty interesting here at the JC.

After an afternoon at Ein Karem, sirens went off in the city. Having no idea what this meant, a few of us stood outside to find out what was going on. A few seconds later, we were called inside and into the bomb shelter {were the first ever student group to use it…yeah were pretty special}. We only stayed in there about a half hour after finding out what happened. Missiles were fired toward Jerusalem but landed a couple miles south of Bethlehem. We were told to resume normal, daily activities. So all is well here and we’re as safe as can be!

To celebrate, we decided to have a JC prom.

Since there are around 3 times as many girls as there are boys, we had polygadates {2 or 3 girls per guy-and we wonder why people think we’re weird}. The boys were given slips of paper with their dates names on them, and they were to ask the girls to prom that night.

So at dinner, after walking away from my plate for a second, I come back to a napkin over my food with my name on it. After I open it up, it says “Amy, will you go to Prom with me? –Jordan”. So of course I said yes…then helped him ask the other girl date-Rosie.

Rosie randomly found these old fashioned, somewhat hideous wedding dresses in the shek shack. We proudly wore them the whole night. It honestly looked like a man just married two women.

Quite the night, quite the night.
