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!

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
