May. 25, 2006 - Class of 2006!!
Well I graduated saturday!! Yea me!! It was so crazy! lol. Well ill start the day off for you. Saturday we had to be at the Hangar at 10 to finish setting up and run sound checks. Well at rehearsal I realized one of the chairs was wobbley so being me..i went into the back room to replace it and I tripped over something on the floor and landed flat on my stomach. it hurt sooooooo bad!! I got up and walked out of the room and went to my mom and I had a bruise already from the top of my rihgt arm to my wrist, and 2 big scratches on my right leg...well we put ice on it and it helped somewhat...then i got a phone call from Stefani. And she talked to me for awhile. She made me happy! Not that I wasnt happy to begin with lol. but she made me even more happy. lol. So poeple started showing up and it started getting confusing. Then pictures...oo we had group pictures...and one we threw our caps in the air and Caylors tassell flew off her cap and landed on top of the progector. So someone had to rush home to get antoher one for her...and so she didnt have a number on her tassell. Ok..well then more people showed up lol. I got gifts and as i got them i would open them...and then thank the person...well then...more and more people showed up and we got called back to line up...the ceromony was about to start! Once it started we all walked in...backwards...so i was the second person in...which was weird lol...but thats how we had to line up. Well then we said the Pledge...and then our guest speaker...Dan Cathy (yes the one from chick-fil-a) gave us a speach. He told us that we needed to be like Christ...he shared stories..and then he told the story about how when Jesus went and washed the feet of his disiples. And how we should live our life like that..and he gave us all a shoe shiner...and he showed us how to us it...and said that we need to go shine someones shoe, who needs encouragement and stuff, and then when your done give the person a hug. It was a neat demonstration and the brushes are cool. OK moving on...when Mr. Cathy was done we had the powerpoints. Some preformed live with theirs and others didnt ( I didnt) After lots and lots and lots of pictures it was time for the charge...Caylor gave the charge. She did a great job on it! I know she was nervous. lol. but she did good. Oh Caylor gave us all playdoh....and while she was talking some of us pulled it out..and well the guy 2 seats over from me made a mustache and put it on..it was green playdoh..i was laughing so hard I had tears running down my faces. After the charge we had the presentation of diplomias. Both our parents walked up and gave us ours as Mr. Steve and Mrs. Lynne read a short bio about us. Mrs. Lynne read mine! lol. After that we had a prayer for the graduates...we lined across the front of the stage..and then after the prayer we turned our tassell...and the Mr. Steve said "I present the Class of 2006!" and we all took our caps and threw them. It was great..then we walked off lol. As we were walkign down the row i saw some poepel that werent there before hand lol. They were the ones I stopped at first.I saw like ALOT of poeple im not even really sure who i saw. It might sound crazy but its true...like i remember my friends being there....but as far as adults go...it was hard keeping up with them. After everything was over and many pictures were taken i started cleaning up my table...and i looked under it were i had set my gifts...befroe the ceromony started there were like 3 gifts under there...awhen i got there afterwards there were ALOT more. I laughed about it. Im like my gifts grew! I opened them all there. They were great! I got alot of neat stuff! I do have to point out one gift i got casue it made me cry. i opened the gift from my middle school discipleship leader...and as many of you knwo I do want to run an orphanage when im older...well Mrs. Angie knows me a little to well its kind of scary lol....well in it was 2 little kid books...and there was a note on it..it said...these book are to be the first books in the libary in your orphanage. They are favorites of Amy, Brooke, and Christina....it made me cry...i loved them! Like I said I got alot of neat stuff and alot of stuff that made me cry. So thanks to everyone!!
