Memories of a Wonderful Time

Graduation time again...this time of year always makes me look back and remember...memories. My senior year was a great year, we goofed off ALOT:) (shhhhh dont tell my mom that) I graduated in a class of four, me, Dakota, Ben and Bryan...YEHAW:) Our senior meetings were the highlight of our day...and I do mean we had them daily...or almost daily. It took us months to plan our senior trip, at least that is what we told our teacher. Then the big day finally arrived. I was not nervous until we walked into the conference room for our meeting with Pastor Howard right before the service...talk about nerve racking....Then it was off to the ceremony....I am proud to say it went off with out a hitch :)

Might as well add some pictures for those of you that only read for the pictures....

Me and my family

The graduating class of 2009

Ha!! That is me giving my speech...here is a sample of it....

"It was the end of my fourth grade year that I found out my family and I were moving to Oklahoma. In a short period of time my world changed drastically, but I made friends and soon my fifth grade year was starting. That year I found out that the world was a dangerous place to be, especially if you were sitting in front of Ben and Bryan. At the time their career goals were to become Navy Seals and save the world. It was kind of difficult to finish my spelling lesson when I had fighter planes flying around behind me, dropping bombs on "the enemy". It was that or they were using their machine guns to fight their way through enemy lines. It is no wonder I am so bad at spelling. :)"


I sat down and read my whole speech in the process of typing this and I could not help smiling. Oh these were the good times....

New Grobonite

Oh yes we did!! Marissa and I went to Josh Groban's concert Friday night. IT wAs AMazINg!!! I have only heard a few of his songs and have never gone out of my way to listen to his music soooo... I was not really sure what to expect. But, boy howdy, can he ever deliver. THAT DUDE CAN SING!! Not only is he a good singer but he is also a wonderful performer. Groban's voice can bring you to tears (from its awesomeness or from the loudness of the sound system;) while he is singing and then he can have you laughing so hard your ribs hurt seconds after the song is over.

One thing I found out about him during the concert....in the case of a zombie apocalypse he plans on covering himself in crunchy peanut butter and hopping it will be over really fast:)

Josh made his entrance directly below us and started the concert on a small raised stage in the middle of the crowed.

AnD this picture is out of order but it is to much trouble to fix so deal with it...Dear blogspot, do us all a favor and figure out an easier way to organize pictures on a blog. Thanks, Frustrated Picture Poster

The backdrop for the stage was a white wall that looked very... greekish... with a broken arch and white material draped across one side. BUT as you can see in this picture they used it like a projection wall. It was an ocean...window...and the inside of a machine. Basically he coordinated the backdrop with the songs.

Oh lookie, we are back to the small stage in the center of the floor. I tried to get a picture of the bodyguards that chased him around all night but they stayed in the dark as much as possible. One of them was a really big guy that was cracking me up...I almost expected to see him talking in to his watch...or pull out a FBI jacket :)





Sorry these are so far away....







He did my two favorite songs of the night on the little stage....Galileo and Awake....

This would be me and Marissa....Not a great picture of me but I thought it was cool that you could see all the people in the background.

:) Marissa and I spent the night laughing, listening, and leaning away from each other....just in case people might mistake us for a couple :)

Life Goes On

NO I dont have anything earth shattering to share. Since I last posted I have finished another semester of college, worked for two weeks straight, and my grandmother has moved in for a month. Needless to say life has been anything BUT boring. Each and every day at work is a new experience.

Side note: Who ever came up with employee reviews is a JERK with too much time on their hands;)

Nana being here with us means I get to sleep at Granni and Granddaddy's while they are gone. I have not yet decided if I like living by myself. Oh and I can not forget, Nana means CINNAMON ROLLS!!! Eat your heart out world :P

Just for the fun of it...

My lop eared son :)
