  • Sarah's hair styling appointment Saturday afternoon was a first for her. The clouds of hairspray and sizzling of the curling iron had her on edge during the one-hour sitting. "I'm a sexy mama," Sarah said when the styling was complete.

  • For Mike and Sarah, Saturday's prom was unlike anything they had attended together before. It was their time to shine in a formal setting. They were dressed to impress and ready to take on the dance floor for hours at a time.
