graduation!!! squeep!

last friday night was the night of my graduation.

t'was a very epic night.

a night of joy, happiness, and such excitement.

i'm so SO blessed to have spent the evening with some of THE best people i know.

such larks! :)

i got to set up a table featuring my sewing projects, favorite books, posters from past shows, theatre portfolio, etc. 

i think it turned out really cute! 

i also had a picture frame that people could sign...such a fun idea. 

four pretty awesome graduates...if i do say so myself. 

the first official graduating glass of JOY. 

trendsetters. 

i totally remember starting to school four years ago and thinking about being a part of the first graduating class...it seemed so far away. and now it's gone and past.

i feel SO blessed.

and then my senior video.

 i SO love everything about it. the memories...the friends...the pictures...the songs. 

it's so perfect.

and so begins yet another chapter in my life. 

SO excited about where it will be taking me!!

squeep!

xo,

little letters.

dear new yellow galoshes...i love you.

dear sky...please rain.

dear friends...my giant reece's, mustache cup, and pretty wall decoration were perfect gifts. you know me well.

dear 2012...you're going to be the best year ever, i can feel it!

dear anthropolgie tea cup...i'm somehow okay with my sudden obsession with tea now that i get to drink it from you.

dear mom...watching lord of the rings with you is funny (his name is "saruman" not "sour man").

dear list journal...so much i love you.

dear hair...you've gotten way too long. after getting caught in someone else's teeth the other day, i think it's safe to say you need a little trim.

dear january 27th...you scare me. college audition AND interview on the same day? *can't breathe*

dear column awards...thanks for nominating the scrooge costumes for an award, this makes me happy.

dear applesauce...when all other foods fail, i know you're there for me.

dear passport...i'm ready for an adventure.

college people...!!!!!

 my dear friend and i did something quite brave last monday. i seem to be doing that quite a bit, lately. you see abilene christian university was having junior day on their campus. being a junior...and very interested in acu...mom and i just KNEW we had to go! ryleigh and her mom decided to come along for the ride (even though she's only a sophomore).

oh, blog readers. we were so nervous. i mean...there were COLLEGE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!! and we felt so small...and tiny...and YOUNG. well...ok we were. but that's not the point.

we walked into the building and were greeted by some very nice...college people. we sign in and sit down and watch other people sign in. and, i must tell you, i liked everyone's look! no one looked creepy, intimidating, or mean! (yes...i'm a sheltered homeschooler...DON'T JUDGE ME!) 

the rest of the day was just as awesome. i mean, when you've got a christian school, with an AWESOME (and wholesome) theatre department, friendly people, a beautiful campus, a starbucks in the library (EEEK!) and a CHICKFILA in the cafeteria (i'm sold)...what more could you wish for?!

acu. what an amazing college. the next step? prayer. scholarship after scholarship applications. prayer. work on theatre audition pieces (they only accept TWELVE people into the program each year). prayer. study study STUDY for the SAT. and, oh, did i mention prayer?

it seems...impossible. i know that with God nothing is. so i'm dedicating the whole thing to Him. and IF it doesn't happen...well...it was a nice dream.

tummy butterflies.

wow these next few days...well...they're going to be awesome!
