And thats a wrap!

I cannot believe how fast the time has gone.
Just wanted to fill you in on some of the happenings
during the last few weeks of school.
Because I am so late,
I guess the most efficient way to do so
is through pictures.

A week following Honk! was
prom week.
The theme was Party at Gatsby's.
 Despite a last minute
meltdown that I was the only one of my friends
that had not been asked,
and almost deciding not to go,
Sarah, Brielle, and my mom
convinced me to go.



Me and my Parker boy!







Am I glad I went? Yes
Was it the best dance of highschool? No.
I am glad I went because I would have always wondered what
I missed out on if I hadnt gone,
but it wasnt the funnest night.

Not long after prom week,
I had AP testing.
My AP psych teacher gave us these funny papers a week
or so before we took our test!
So funny!
I had two
and took both of them on the same day.
I had my AP Environmental Science (APES)
in the morning,
and then took my AP psych test that afternoon.
Needless to say, it was a long day.
I should find out my results
in early July.
Fingers crossed!

We also had our Senior Luncheon.

 
 Best Friends





I am so grateful for Jessie Burckel!
She was our Senior class president,
and I am so grateful for the opportunity to get so close
to her over the past few years.
She is a pretty incredible friend!

And of course, I dont think I couldve made it without
my mama by my side 100% of the time.
I am so grateful for her!


Also, Ashley, Kate and I had so much fun supporting
John as his last couple of track meets.
Pole vaulting is actually a really cool thing to watch.




Even when it was freezing cold!




It was so cold and windy that I had to improvise
on how to stay warm.
So I wore his warm ups as a jacket! Haha
"SWIGGITY SWAG!"

Ashley and I even surprised him with a poster and candy
waiting in his room when he got home from the away meet that night.
the night that he vaulted 12"8' which
qualified him for state!
We were so excited for him!

We also had our senior sunset which was a lot of fun too.
We also did our senior prank which was awesome, even though it got caught by the cops.
And our last week of school,
the seniors did a senior spirit week which was seriously
so much fun!
And of course, we had our senior awards nights where we got our chords,
and our senior assembly which was extremely cheesy and very very bittersweet!

So I guess thats as good as its gonna get as far
as wrappin up high school.
Sorry it was so late!

HONK!

Alright!
This post is looong over due but I finally have time to post about
DCC's spring musical "Honk!"
And what better way to do so then in pictures right?
[These may or may not be in exact order of the show..]

My husband Drake (Grant) and I at the beginning of the show.



This picture must have been during a rehearsal because
the nest isnt done.

The end of the opening number,
A Poultry Tale

The Joy of Motherhood




Talking into the cell phone

Saying goodbye to the family and Maureen
before I left on the journey to find Ugly.








Crying over Ugly, when I think hes dead.


Right after all my ducklings hatch.

One day during rehearsal



As self centered as it may seem,
my whole life I have dreamed about running out on stage
for curtain call, all by myself.
This year,
that came true.
And let me be the first to say
that it felt good!
Although it was a small thing,
it was a huge reminder to me that this is what I want
to do for the rest of my life.
And that is a pretty exciting thing.

Sarah and I finally got a picture of us performing together!


After the show!

 






We love Ihop!

Duck faces!

So although this was a crazy unorganized post, 
I thought I should still post, even though it was
almost two months ago!

I am grateful for the experience, 
and for the great reminder that I
dont want to do anything else besides music and theatre
and I cant wait to see what BYU-I's
programs have to offer me.
