Post-Grad Life

I have officially graduated!!!!

Saturday, May 28, 2011 I graduated from homeschool high school with a life-long friend. It went very well.

There was a slide show of our lives, and we did a Praise and Worship time at the end before we went to eat and fellowship.

There was a chocolate fountain, two different kinds of cakes, three different dips with chips, home-made mints, an assortment of nuts, and three beverages.

For my presents, I, of course, received a rather large chunk of money. Along with that, I was given a three piece suitcase set, an iPad and leather case for it, a very cool, very big pocket knife that has a seascape with a boat on both sides, a BIG box of chocolates and a very nice journal and a toiletry bag. I love all of my gifts, if anyone gave me anything, I would like to say here: Thank you for your gifts and your presence at a huge moment of my life.

Now, I can no longer say that I am homeschooled. L But there are bigger and better thing that are ahead of me. My best days are ahead of me, as Danny Gokey’s single from his first album says.

I have finished up with a lot of things that I will no longer be attending as a full student. I finished orchestra and choir and private music lessons. I am sad that they finished, but I am excited at the same time as well. Is that a bad thing? Now if I ever go back it will be to visit with friends.

The VBS decoration process has started back up. This will be my first VBS not being homeschooled. It’s sad, but exciting.

As I talk of VBS, it reminded me of summer and swimming and that we opened our pool a few weeks ago and I had my first swim of this year today!! Also that I go a new swimsuit.

This past semester I have been taking a class with my grandmother. It is a class for Swedish Weaving and Huck Toweling. I have been enjoying it very much. It will be going through the summer and into the fall.

I will be going to college in the fall. I will be going for English.

I think that is it for now. I will attempt to keep up with posting now that school is over and that it is summer.

Happy Fourth, Late

Happy 4th everyone!!!!! Sorry that it's late. I've been at my grandparents house watching fireworks, eating, swimming, eating, talking, eating, you get the picture. Lots of eating there.

Well, I'm 16!!!!! Don't feel 16, but I felt that way when I turned 15, so we're good. I had a good Birthday. I'm pretty sure that Kara will put the pics on her blog.

I had the weirdest dream last night. We(My family)and some people from Orchestra lived at mall. Don't know how that flew, but it did.

One More Post ;)

Hi, just felt like putting another post out there.

Last night our friends the P.s and Micah R. came out and swam. It was fun, and scary all at the same time. The reason I say 'scary' is because Josh and Micah did this little dance when the were leaving that was, lets just say, interesting. OK more like really really scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I have a meeting for V.B.S. There is a downfall to it though. It takes place during lunch. :( But I know it will be fun. We have to come up with stage names and crazy hair styles. We also get to wear these coats that look like lab coats but are really nurse coats. Because one of the people that I am working with is a nurse. We are doing the Power Lab this year. I really like the music this year.

Catching You All Up

Sorry for not posting in awhile!!! :( I have been preoccupied with other things.

For starters, I have been working with some other people for my churches Vacation Bible School. I am working in the music station this year. Like I have for the past two years, it is just something I like doing. My favorite part of the station is in seeing the faces of all the kids when the finally get through the whole song that we had just done without messing up once. It's also fun to see if I mess up with any of the actions in the songs. I did that once last year, and it was embarrassing!!!!!!!!!! I looked out to see if anyone had caught my mistake. Only one that I remember caught it, he was a cerw-leader though, so none of the kids saw it, I hope. If they did, I never saw it. I'm known as the one to look to if anyone forgets the motions.

I still have not watched the second part of the Two Towers. It stinks, to tell you the truth. I can't remember when we started it, but it seems like it was an eternity ago. Hint to mother.

We have swam the last two to three days in our pool. It gets tiring ofter awhile. The kids were asking us older ones if we would go out and swim with them today. It was like at 10-10:30 this morning when they asked us this. We told them not today. Because us three older ones have music lessons today, my mom has to go to town at 1, and we have to get some more school done.

Well, I had better go. Blog later.

More on the Lord of the Rings

I still have not watched the Two Towers. Hopefully, it will be soon.

We are getting a pool!!!!!!!!!! It will be fun, fun, fun. Now we won't have to wait to go to our grandparents house to swim.
