Graduation

Last night was the night I've been waiting for since Kindergarten. Ok, maybe not Kindergarten. But at least the last four years. Now it's over. It came and went so quickly. It was amazing though. I had butterflies all day long. Most of the relatives just chilled most of the day and the day passed very quickly. Before I knew it I was throwing on a dress and had my tassels tied around my head. Wait, those aren't an awesome headband? Oh. Sad day. 

Then came the robe. We had to buy our robes and keep them. I think I'm going to wear mine for Halloween and be a High school graduate at college. Oh wait, all of them are graduates too? Ohhh. . . Then came the pictures the pictures pictures in the front yard.




There were a lot of other pictures but they all looked the same as the ones I took, so they won't be featured in this blog. After pictures we headed up to Boulder. We had dinner at a Moose Cafe. My mom picked it, she really likes moose. Meese? What's the plural of that? Anyways. It was pretty cool. I was too nervous to really enjoy my meal of chicken noodle soup and salad. According to my mom they have the really good kind of chicken noodle soup with the good noodles. 

The drive to the arena was pretty stressful for me. There were cars everywhere, and the bestby was already there asking where I was which was stressing me out because I'm usually the one who gets to things absurdly early. It all worked out though. I got there and saw all my friends. I wasn't thinking when I took my camera back with me, I had nowhere to put it! Luckily it had a strap and I was able to very sneakily attach it to my dress. 



Noellyn!



Kelsey wore a dress!

And butterfly shoes!


Noellyn and I both had the really long robes while other girls had the really short robes, so she was going to go down the stairs like that. 

Justin!
Then, the waiting. Waiting for an hour until the walk. There was lots of hugging, comparing of heel heights, peeing, and cussing. It was pretty boring. The counselors came around and made sure they knew how to pronounce all our names. Once again I was told my name looks like it's pronounced a different way than we say it. Sometimes I wonder if I should conform with the rest of the world and say my last name right. Nah. 


Getting Seated



The Bestby Graduating





Fiiiinnaaalllyyyy my turn. It stinks being at the end of the alphabet sometimes.




There I go!









Got my hug!







Turning the tassels



I threw my hat, a tiny tiny bit.

Gotta fix the hat hair


Going to get my actual diploma



I FOUND MY MOMMY!



They made Sammy and I signs





The bestby and I :) His family gave me flowers, so sweet. He lost his hat when he threw it.








Yep. I'm graduated. Now starts real life. I applied for a bunch of jobs today. I sure do hope I get called back, and then hired. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
