Congrats Anika!!

Today we went to Anika Larson's open house party! She looked SO awesome! Besides Laura Dubs, Michael Haugaard, and me... she's part of our '09 grad click for this year. =P Yay! The party was a ton of fun, and the decorations looked awesome. Her colors were black and pink... and possibly white? I'm not sure... There was some white, but i think the main colors were black and pink. But anyway, everything looked great and everyone had a fun time. There were a lot of people coming and going basically the whole time. So it was fun to see all the new faces. Anika must be reeeeally popluar. ;)

Anika, you are an AWESOME friend, and you have a winning smile that can melt anyone. Keep being the wonderful, amazing person that you are! We all love you and wish you the best of the best! We're FINALLY done with the first twelve years of school! LoL, now I'm gonna ask you the same question that drove me crazy (and still does! lol)... Soooooo. What are you gonna do now?! =P C'mon! Fess up! We all know you're going into nuclear science. =P lol... ok maybe not.

Well, Congrats again!!! I hope you had a great rest of the day. And... ahem... can I add....

(LOL! I love this. "Maybe no one will notice if i take one of these....")

I'm BAA-ack! =P

Hey guys! SOO sorry i haven't posted in FOREVER! This graduation stuff is keeping me on my toes. =S But i've finally gotten caught up... (for now)... and I'm gonna use this spare time to post!

Well, thursday was Joshua's 8th b-day! Since my dad wasn't home till late that night we celebrated on Friday at Ihop. (he really wanted to go there for some reason) =P Josh got some cool stuff, but he's extra proud of his new BB gun. (Rachel and I flipped when we heard that he was getting one.... "head for cover!!!") So he's been out practicing with it non-stop ever since then. He couldn't believe it when he got it. =D So, anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!!! You're such an awesome little brother. Even tho we get on each other's nerves at times, i want you to know how much i love you. You are a !handsome!, talented, smart, and caring guy, and I can't wait to watch you become a teenager! =P lol. But you're pretty awesome just the way you are... even if you still treat me like I'M the younger sibling. =P lol. Love you Josh!

And THIS Sunday is the graduation!! (AHHHHH!!!!) I just finished my picture board and wrote the first draft to my speech. My dad is currently 'red penning' it. =S That's always scary, but i'm glad they fix all the 'spleeing' errors and grammatical mishaps. I might look pretty UN-grad like otherwise. =S lol. But otherwise i think everything is going pretty well. There's just a few other details to finish and I think we'll be ready. I'm getting slightly nervous now that we're down to one week. But i think the most nerve racking thing will be either the speech or the duet Laura and I are singing. =S I'm not looking forward to either. But hopefully everything will go ok.

Well, let's see... what else is new?? Umm... Hmmm... I think that's kinda all for now. I'll have to get some pictures up after the graduation. =) My dad wants to go over the corrections in my speech now... so I guess i'll go. I'll post later! Luv ya!
