I'm not positive how it came about, especially since our rule about dating is that you have to be 16.
BUT, when you are a 15 year old Junior, and have shown yourself to be trustworthy (AND, your mom is driving you), then sometimes it is OK to bend the rules a little. His dad and I figured that if we made him wait until he was 16, then he would miss out on all the fun stuff- but we did make it clear that this was the exception to the rule. So, Jesse got to go to the homecoming dance:
Jesse and Emily.
She is a freshman or sophomore, and their family goes to our church.
She is a freshman or sophomore, and their family goes to our church.
Her brother, Jared, has been one of Jesse's friends for a few years.
The four of them went out to dinner and then the dance.
And he was one happy, tired boy.
