Snowdaze 2015

Last month, my friends and I spent too much time getting ready for our last snowdaze dance altogether. Some of my friends (including my sister) who are juniors, will still have next year to go to, but for us seniors it was our last one. Senior year is already half way over and these last events have really been bitter-sweet.

So on January 31st, 2015 I attended my last snowdaze dance with my best friends and we danced all night long and had a blast!

Love these girls with all my heart!

Homecoming Queen {2014}

It's my senior year guys...You have to go all out for senior year! Whether it's helping the freshmen, making a fool of yourself, being a role model, or dancing crazy...Just have a blast and make some memories you won't forget! In this case, all of the above happened at our annual Homecoming Dance.

This year it was a Sadie Hawkins theme, which means the girls ask the guys to the dance. Of course you don't have to go with a date (like me) and it's still a blast. The senior guys (some of my best friends) all went to the local thrift store, bought some crazy stuff, and came to the dance all ready to have some fun. :) Otherwise, the dress code was "country" or "casual".

I have never been to the Homecoming dance before...It was my first and last homecoming dance and this year I was nominated with 2 other girls and 3 guys from the senior class, for homecoming royalty.

Twice a year we have secondary (9th-12th gr) dances, not including PROM. And every dance we nominate 3 guys and 3 girls from each grade for royalty. For homecoming, they just do the seniors and it was such a blast! They announce us at the pepfest and we get to play a little game in the gym, in front of the whole secondary side. (7th-12th gr. including teachers)

Varsity captains announcing the boys soccer team

Me and co-captain Hannah (#6) announcing the varsity volleyball team...Our girls like to have fun :)

Senior girl royalty nominees

The pepfest is 30 mins and then school is dismissed. That night, our school hosts the Homecoming Dance and that starts at 7pm. As everyone comes to the door, they vote for 1 guy and 1 girl from the senior nominees to become homecoming king and queen. Coronation starts at 7:45pm...

Left to Right: Kevin, me, Ryan, Emma, Cam, & Megan (yes she has a slushie)

Drum roll please......................................

Kevin was crowned king and I was crowned queen :) 

It was such a fun night and we made lots of memories! Senior year has been a whirlwind of never ending fun and craziness and I'm loving every bit of it. Just to top it off, here are a few more fun pictures from Homecoming night.

Just Checkin' In

Hi everyone!

Wow, I'm really good at abandoning my blog. ;) Life has been exciting, stressful, and hectic lately. School projects and papers and speeches and more projects have all been due in the last 2 weeks, and it's been very stressful. Glad that this week will be the last one, where numerous assignments are due.

I do have some exciting news though...I got into the PSEO program at my school. So next year I'll be taking college classes at a community college not too far away. My sister Erin and I both took our placement tests, and now we're just waiting for our acceptance letters. We're excited to be able to get free college credits and still see our friends from school. :)

I got asked to PROM! My friends and I all went to watch some of our other friends play a co-ed soccer game and that was really fun to watch. Then we all went out to eat afterwards and as we were leaving and walking to our cars, I noticed that there was something in my car. So, I opened the door and there was sign...I read it and realized I was actually going to prom. My good friend Karr was right next to me and as soon as I finished reading the poster, I turned to him and he asked me to go with him to prom! :) I'm so so excited, and it's only 3 weeks away!

Otherwise there isn't too much happening. Just staying busy with school, constantly looking online for my dress, running (yay the weather has been beautiful), and counting down the days until summer. :) Thanks for following along to my crazy life!

As Time Passes {Wordless Wednesday}

Snowdaze 2014

Snowdaze came and gone again this year...sadly it was all too fast and me and all my friends wish we could just rewind to Saturday night! 2014 has been my favorite Snowdaze dance so far! We always have a blast and make memories that I will never forget. :)

Everyone from The Posse made it and we danced and sang and made each other laugh all night long! So much fun! Believe it or not, we didn't try to match or coordinate any of the colors. Everyone met at school and we realized that we were all wearing mostly black, blue, and some sparkles :)

So glad I have these friends in my life...we always have the best time together! Until next year...

The dresses were gorgeous.

The dancing was crazy and so much fun.

The DJ was great and funny.

The people were amazing and entertaining.

The music was loud.

The decorations were beautiful.

My friends were the best!

T.G.I.F

Thank God it's Friday!!

Wooo! I made it through our 4 but LONG day school week, of the 2nd semester.

I don't especially enjoy most of my new classes, but I do have a few favorites.

It will be something to get used to in the next few weeks.

In my last catch up post I said I had found a Snowdaze dress...

And people the long awaited day of Snowdaze 2013 is...TOMORROW!

So I'll be posting sometime soon about all the fun details of that. :)

I just have to wait for our graphic design and publishing team/class to get the pictures on the website.

I've loved reading your blogs recently! Some favorite posts are:

Classy Girls Wear Pearls - Her posts are so great and her style is so original; I love it!

moments with love - A mom who documents her life of adoption, life, and love with 9 kiddos.

five lists on Awaken - What she loves and wants.

Life as a Missionary Kid - Just started following her and she gives a sneak peek into her life; just a little older than me.

Mr. Sassy Photoshoot at be lovely - Real life, funny, and teenage stuff; this girl is great!

EM on a Mission - Teenage girl who just moved to live in Uganda permanently to serve her Lord and be the hands and feet of Jesus to orphans.

Are you glad it's Friday?
