seven- a person or a thing that has had a great impact on your life.

Okay, this one is definitely a cop out, but it would have to be my parents. So many of the things i'm interested in/LOVE are because my parents introduced me to it.

Did you know that my parents met in a theater? My Dad came to see a show my Mom was in, (although he came to see some other chick), and I guess it was love at first site. They had mutual friends and it just...worked out! My Dad proposed to her after going to see Phantom of the Opera together. Oh yeah, and they sung "All I Ask of You" at their wedding. I guess you could say that musical theater runs in my system...

Even though I'd like to take credit for the piano thing, (cuz i begged my mom when i was five to take lessons.) it would never have happened if my mom and dad didn't encourage me to work hard and practice. I wouldn't be were I am now if it wasn't for them! (well...OBVIOUSLY.)

Most people say it's your friends that influence you the most, but I think we all know it's really our parents. I couldn't and wouldn't have done everything that I've accomplished to this day without their support and encouragement. I am so blessed to call them Mom and Dad.

wrapping up junior year

Wow. What a year.

I have to start by saying that my junior year in high school has been one of the most busy/fun/productive/hectic/exciting/tiring and INCREDIBLE years of my life. I've had sooo many great memories from this school year and LOTS of awesome new friends.

Here are just a few highlights of my year:

~Demi Lovato concert with Alyssa. "Nashville is the GHET-TOE at night." Lys, that was sooo much fun!! I lost my voice for three weeks after that...

~Tie Dye at Pinkerton Park! "You guys fail at this." :P

~West Side Story at Pull-Tight. Wow, what a cast. Even though Cranky Cathy almost killed me in my sleep, it was worth it. Logan, you will forever be the butt of many jokes, I love you. :)

~IHS homecoming. My first 'real school' function. I don't think i have EVER seen so many...umm...well...PDA's? :P Lindsey, thanks for being my date. ;) (oh yeah, and borrowing your dress.)

~MAKOS!!! wow, SO many memories with you guys!! The bonfire at Ben's house ("I can talk like a black woman!"), THE TEA PARTY ("Crime of Passion!!"), Girl's night a my place (this is when Charli and I realized we were soul mates), and Allie's-not-so-surprise party (so. SAD!), The Cheesecake Factory, Our photoshoot (Maddie, your amazing) Jason' Deli after the Riverdale Meet ("It's a BOAT!!"), and of course Prom. (BEST. NIGHT. EVER.)

~My never ending day with Charli. Wow, I don't know how. in. the. WORLD we have so much fun all the time?! We had a photoshoot, tried on hats, ate sweet cece's...I'm going to miss you sooo much. :*(

~WOZ at IHS. Wow, my SECOND school function!! Haha, even though it was totally and completely stressful, it was fun to hang out with all my awesome public schoolers. You guys will go on to do great things. Let me know when you get to Broadway!!

~Junior Miss. haha, even know this was a completely RANDOM blip in my life, it actually paid off! I was awarded "Most Talented" and received a scholarship of $200!

~GETTING MY LICENSE!!! Haha. FINALLY. After waiting for TWO YEARS I am now street legal. Turns out being able to drive wherever, WHENever is totally not overrated...haha.



~My first College visit: Lee University. It's really scary to think that by this time next year I will have already been accepted to a college!! As sad as it will be, I'm SO excited to see what God has in store for me in the upcoming chapters of my life!!

~PROM! WHOAA. I never knew that dancing in a ridiculous dress could be so much fun! My favorite moment of the night? The Single Ladies Dance. Maddie, Kay and I kept bugging the DJ and he finally played it!! Just goes to show that nagging pays off...not that I have experience or anything...;) and girls, you are the most beautiful, funny and talented girls I have ever met. Thank you for inviting me as your "third wheel." You guys are fantastic. :)

As much as I will miss these fantastic memories, the time has come for newer and betting things!

Senior year, here I come!

till the gown is donned,
