Today's writing topic (and the final one of my 30-day challenge): Something you're excited for.

Well, today that's an easy one--I'm excited for my son's first
formal. This means it's his first time having a date to an event, first time
wearing a suit (and shiny black shoes), first time getting to purchase a
corsage. The whole nine yards.
Tonight my Josiah will have the opportunity to be a gentleman--to
treat a young lady (who's also his good friend) as the precious, delightful gem
she is. To show value, honor, and respect--to think of her as more important
than himself, putting his very best foot forward to ensure an enjoyable evening
full of laughter and grace.
Tonight I am proud as I see the boy before me transforming into a
man before my very eyes. Offering his arm--as a prince to a princess--as an
escort, a friend, a valiant champion. Nobly representing his fellows in the
great ball we call growing up.
