Poker Night

Jorja had a long day. She was gone from the time she got up until midnight. She loved it though. Jorja helped Dawson film all the different classes for the welcome video. She filmed, went to lunch with Luke Vickery, back to filming, got Swig with Janelle and her car died, back to filming, painted with Janelle, last minute Poker date....

The Senior class officers... dressed as seniors...

Lucas ~ president, Ella ~ historian, Janelle ~ secretary, Jordan ~ PR, Carson ~ VP

Ella, Jorja, Janelle

Jorja was so excited for her lunch with Luke. He was the financial chair last year. He brought LOTS of things for Jorja. Things that have been passed down to the financial chairs for years. He had a flash drive that he told Jorja was the most helpful thing to him. They also had a financial chair book where the financial chairs for the last ten years have written things that have worked for the fundraiser, advice and hijinks they got up to. Jorja is so excited to have this information and to be able to dive into trying to pull off a fundraiser during the crazy corona.

Jorja & Luke

Jorja had her camera set to live and this made me laugh.

Giant dragon flag Luke gave her. Yep, lots of random stuff gets passed down.

Luke ~ advice is written on the back of those (three) signs he has

Jorja finished up filming with Dawson. Her car broke down twice in the Swig drive thru, then once again on the street. She pulled into a 7-11 and called me. She left it there and they got a ride back to school. Mike and I drove down to get it. Mike drove it home. He said it was super hot, but seemed to be doing okay. Hopefully it is fine.

Sophomore class officers...

Ian, JJ, Dash, orange vest (Paige and Vivian are missing)

Junior class officers...

Senior senators

Jorja and Janelle spent a lot of time scraping last years theme off of the windows and painting this years theme

While they were painting, Jorja got some text messages from Aiden and Lucas. Both had asked her if she was busy tonight. Aiden started typing, but then Lucas called her. Lucas asked her if she wanted to dress up and go to poker night at Bode's house. After saying yes, she saw Aiden's text asking her to the same thing. Jorja told Aiden that she just said yes to Lucas and asked him if he wanted to ask Janelle. He didn't. He said he has never even talked to her. Jorja told him that Janelle and Lucas are best friends, maybe he could call and ask Lucas if he would take Janelle instead. So, that is what ended up happening. Jorja called me to pick her up, since she had no car. We hurried home, but Aiden had already stopped by. He told Mike he would come back. Jorja threw on a dress, put on some jewelry and fancier makeup and was ready to go... paint stained legs and all. She had such a fun time and loved the spontaneity of the date.
