Senior Pictures

'EllO! I took my senior pictures about two weeks ago, so here they are.
Enjoy, ya'll :]

Perfection

I couldn't have asked God for a more incredible weekend!

It was the official icing on the cake of senior year.

Friday- Had the day off of school! Yeah! So, needless to say, I got to sleep in til almost noon (which I haven't done in a gazillion years) and it was amazing. Then I washed my truck and worked on my tan. A win-win situation for me. I went shoe shopping for prom with Kari, which turned into us spending almost an hour and a half in Victoria's Secret figuring out how to work this super awesome bra. We came home and watched the DVD from State sophomore year, then she left and I went upstairs and got stuff ready for Saturday and went to bed early!

Saturday [the best day of EVER]- All the girls had to be at school around 8a.m. and we had a nice practice. We cleaned the entire show in an hour, which is impressive. Kurt showed up for the last run through. He makes me nervous, I tell you! I dropped my lay-down toss because I knew he was watching. Such an amazing friend. ;) After practice, we hopped on the bus to Desert Vista High School. Got there just in time to hang out with Williams Field while they were in holding right before they went on. Such an incredible group of girls...None of them had touched a flag til this season. Their performance was indescribable. They got the crowd into it, and you could just tell that they were excited to be there. Couldn't have had a better performance for Championships! We then hopped on the bus to Williams Field HS where we practiced for about 3 hours. I wanted to die. In fact, I probably almost did. My knee was throbbing and I was feeling some shooting pain every once in awhile. Got back on the bus and headed to Desert Vista HS, where we watched Highland HS perform their (dung dung dung dung *ballliaeowlakwj*) show, then went outside, threw a few tosses and headed into warm up. I've never seen our girls so focused. Talk about determination. God, I love them! We continued on to holding, and then to perform. It was kinda freaky; in holding, we could hear Gilbert's music. I had to stifle my nerves. When we stepped onto the floor, I just knew. I knew it was going to be a great performance. And it was. I don't remember anything between the first "Fiat" and the final "Let there be light"! All I remember was the feeling that I got. AH! AMAZING! All through awards I was super nervous. We knew Casa would take 4th, Corona in 3rd. The rest was up in the air. When the announcer said, "And in second place, with a score of 85.22, Gilbert Black,", my heart screamed. We won State Championships!!!!!! YAY! I've never been so proud of a gold medal before.

Sunday- Well. It was Sunday. Church, lunch, homework, chores. Blah. Oh but I did get my Senior Pictures back.

pictures will be coming soon. :]

State!

Guard state is coming up on Saturday! Woo! I'm rather excited. It's kinda funny. Sophomore year, I remember being bumped up into Scholastic A class, from Scholastic Regional A, and winning. We always said, "How cool would it be if we got bumped into Open class and won, by senior year?". I don't know if anyone has noted this, but...It's senior year. We've been bumped into Open class. Now all we have to do is win. *Knocks on wood* And by winning, I don't mean leaving the high school with a gold medal. I mean leaving the high school fully knowing that we rocked our show and were focused, and the audience was captivated by us. That's how we win. We win in our gym, during practices. It's not about a number, and yeah, staying focused on that is really hard. But in the end, it'll be worth it. Gold medal, or not.

Something New

Well, welcome to my new blog!

I thought I would give this a try, compared to the other MySpace and Facebook alternatives.

Bear with me, I'm learning! :]
