graduation celebration



                                             My graduation party has come and gone.
I'm actually partly relieved its over. Between work and preparing this I was on my feet a lot causing Friday night and Saturday to give me the sore feet pain, but nothing rest/being off my feet couldn't fix. ;)
I snapped some photos before the party, but was to busy partying to get any during the party. =)  Some how I think your all okay with that. *smiles*

                                                  (left to right) Morgan, Jessica, Mikaela, Blythe (myself)
 
        Photos of when were little in North Carolina.
 
Mik, Lydia and I picked some beautiful 'weeds/flowers' for a bouquet for the table to add something to it.



 
I'm so happy the way my cake turned out. If you ever want to try the roses....they are SUPER easy and I'm only saying that cause I'm horrible when it comes to cake decorating. I think the frosting seems me as an enemy which is okay only, when I want to eat it.
Which in actually we have a love/hate relationship......So glad we cleared up my frosting issues. Moving on.
 
Darling Micky.....
She was a great helper and I enjoyed helping you after you tripped in the dark... at 3 AM after you took your contacts out...of course after I was done laughing my heart out.

                                                                                 Sisters
                                                Totally forgot to take my apron off for pictures.

Beautiful Morgan working away.
She was such a fantastic helper and did all my makeup.
We had so much fun! Thank you Morgan.
 





 
As beautiful days of fun come to an end, so must a post.
That is all the photos I took...:(..... (at least all the presentable ones).
 
I know I haven't been posting much, but I hope to purchase a laptop before long and I'll be back to posting more frequently.
 
If you have any good laptop referrals under $400 I would love to hear about them.

lets have no regrets



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Highschool graduate! With only 14 days worth of 1 school subject left before I 'officially' finish highschool the reality of life is really hitting me. I'm an adult. I'm finishing school. I can be a college student. Yikes!! Life is scary folks. As I finished up my scrapbook last week I looked through it, starting when I was born until I reached the end. Life flies by so fast. Oh, the joy to be 5 yeas old again, care free not knowing the evil lurking in my small world I would find almost perfect.
 
To think I'm old enough to start my own family. Note: I'm not ready to start a family, but the thought that I could get married without having to 'legally' need my parents permission is kinda weird.
As I looked at the last page of my scrapbook I wanted to write out sort of a graduation speech of sorts, so at 11:00pm at night I took out a pen and started writing.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

             "I want to thank God for every gift He has given me. I have been blessed beyond what I deserve with Christian parents and 8 siblings to grow up with as friends and classmates. He blessed me with awesome friends old and new. Life truly is a gift that I am realizing more and more. A gift.....one that I don't want to sit down and simply go through it. I want to live it to it's highest and fullest point, not only that, but I want to live it for Christ. We only get one chance to make an impact for Him. One chance as we go through this adventure called 'life' that I don't want to waste. There are people who need love that need to know they are loved and that over 2,000 years ago someone died for them and wants them. I want the rest of my life to glorify and point to Him in all that I do. He has given me so much and taken me on various journeys not all were smooth, but He carried me through the rough patches. Life is short. We don't always know how short, but I don't want to have regrets on things I wish I had done.














 
 

                               Live life, Love people and point them to the light of Jesus Christ.
                                                         That is my mission for my life!
                                                        Don't waste Gods gift, use it!
