It's up to me - I can see that now. My oldest son is much too modest and discreet to mention what happened to him last week - and so I will.
Any LU resident can pipe in and add to the story or correct any part. I speak only as an interested party far from the events.
Two weeks ago on the LU campus people were preparing for the annual Fall Fest. Josh was gearing up to throw himself into the week long promotion of his floor's queen. (That's what the guy floors do - try to get their pick to win the queen of the entire campus.) While he was busying himself with these type preparations, he received a phone call from a friend. She wanted him to meet her downstairs in the dorm lobby to go over some music with her. When he arrived downstairs, a large group of girls were there to meet him with the surprising news that he had been selected as their choice for king!
So his plans for the following week were drastically changed. Instead he followed the girls' directions and dressed up all week as "Joshua Jones (Willie Wanka) and the Chocolate Factory" since each floor promotes their monarch with a theme for the week. So anyway from my understanding, some of the girls dressed up as characters in the story and they took a series of pictures depicting the storyline to be shown at the Fall Fest last Saturday night. And then, all week long they escorted Joshua with his black shoes and pants and his shiney coat with a pink bow tie and his tall hat with a wide ribbon to all his meals and every class handing out candy bars and generally drawing attention to the spectacle. Those of you who know Josh, can imagine that he must have just LOVED being the center of attention. Yeah, right.
Then came Saturday night, the night of the unveiling of the king and queen of the LeTourneau Fall Fest. Everyone dressed up in formals and the brother and sister floors traveled to the event as a big group.
Guess who was coronated king? You're right - Josh!
I'm still waiting on some really juicy celeb. pictures, but he says that they are forthcoming. (He talks all high-falooten now that he's king and all.) You'll have to petition him yourself to post some royal photos on his blog.
Long live the king!

awww....that's exciting....of course, pictures would totally be appreciated-they sound hilarious!
In the great tradition of adherents celebrating their hero:
Huzzah!! Huzzah!!
Long live the king, indeed!!!! Pictures, pictures, I say, Pictures for the common folk! Pictures, I say!!!
Bah... I still haven't gotten the pictures I would like... I have a few more from the actual week itself, but I wanted to get this cheap CD from the photo club because it has pictures of the banquet. Like, they announced my name, the previous king puts the crown on my head and every camera in the room goes POOF. It was... dazzling to the eyes, so I expect to find something when I do get my hands on that CD. pictures forthcoming...
