We're Pretty Formal, but We're Here to Party

So Thursday was formal. Our last function of the year and usually our best function of the year. This year was, of course, no exception

However, no night can be completely perfect. Nick was there with a girl from the pledge class below me. Since she is my sister, I will not say anything against her. I'm still just in shock that he didn't think that it would upset me that he came. I can't understand how he wouldn't think that it might hurt me by being there. Seeing him definitely felt like just ripping off the bandaid of a still healing wound. While I have accepted what happened, and while I have moved on I don't want him at MY formal, for MY sorority. I would NEVER have gone to a date function at Sig Ep or to Sig Ep's formal, and IF I did, I certainly would have had the decency to at least ask if it was okay that I was there. I know that that is his place and wouldn't want to overstep. It definitely was an eye opening situation. It was a lesson in how far I've come and in both of our maturity levels. The situation definitely showed me the love that my other sisters have for me here. 

That drama aside, the night was wonderful. My amazing little, Emily, set me up with one of her friends from high school and he was perfect. Cole was so much fun to be with and a great date. When we finally got to formal we had an awesome time. I can't believe that this was my last function with my little, but it certainly was the best way to go out. Emily; her boyfriend, Alex; Cole and I danced the night away with our other friends. I haven't had that much fun in a very long time. The band Backroad Anthem played for us, which was so cool. I learned how to two step thanks to Cole. I don't think I was very good at it, but it was fun to learn, and probably more funny to watch me. Thank you so much, Emily for getting the boys down here. It seriously was the best formal I've been to yet. 

Formal was definitely a night of lessons: a lesson on my ability to rise above, a lesson on the strength of my friendships, a lesson on maturity levels, and a lesson on the strength of my sisters who surrounded me when they knew I would be hurting. I am thankful for that. I am thankful for the friendships I have. I am thankful that I had a wonderful, and super cute, date. Mostly, I am thankful that my last function with my little was absolutely incredible.
