The Weekend!

Hey Guys! Wow, i'm really getting good at posting more often! yay! 

So this weekend was an eventful one!

It started off with the family traveling to Knoxville to watch my sister Amy graduate. 

We left at 2:30 on Friday morning to make it to the ceremony at 7:30. Amy graduated from the college of arts and sciences as a graphic designer. We are all so proud of her accomplishments. She has a bright future ahead of her! 

After graduation we went out to eat at Steak N' Shake and then helped Amy get ready for her Art show. 

Here is Amy with her display table! She has amazing work.

and here is a funny picture of Amy and Amy haha! 

It was awesome having the whole family together for this occasion. Living so far apart from each other makes it difficult to spend time with one another so we cherish the times we do get to spend together.

On Saturday, my church held a senior banquet for all of the graduating youth. It was a very nice banquet with an amazing meal and speaker.

 This was the cute little present that each senior received. 

This is what the present turned out to be. A cute bracelet with our first initial on it. This is me and the other Hannah's bracelet. We got matching swag :) 

The boys got a nice black watch instead of a bracelet. Their watches came in a box that if you water it, grass will grow! 

Here is a blurry picture of all of the seniors!

Me and Jesse. He is the one who started taking me to this church 3 years ago and I can't thank him enough for it. 

and me and my mommy! I love her very much. :)


Sunday was Mothers Day and I spent the whole day with my mom!

My brother and I got my mom a butterfly tree decoration, a candle, and a picture frame with our recent family photo.


My mother is an inspiration to me and I don't know what I would do without her. :)






well, that is it for this blog. Be with me as I finish my last week of high school and take part in the senior festivities!


sooo...

My Phantomesque Week!

Hello everyone! 

So these past 2 weeks I have been consumed in my school's production of The Phantom of the Opera.

It is mostly because my little brother, Evan, was the Phantom.

Isn't he just the cutest? :)

What is the Phantom of the Opera you ask? Well it is one of the most popular musicals in Broadways history. 

It is about a Phantom who hides in a shadowy existence, far beneath the majesty and splendor of the Paris Opera House. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.

This musical is by far one of the hardest to perform and the cast pulled it off magically. 

Here is a picture of the cast, crew, and orchestra members.

I can't even begin to tell you how proud I was of my little brother. Being the Phantom is a huge role and he pulled it off, making me cry every time I saw it. (Which was 4 times haha)

Me and my Phantom on opening night. :)

Me and Christine (a.k.a Ashley Stevens)

Me and Raoul (a.k.a Peyton Benett)

and here is me and the composer. I love you Corwin Davis! :)

the Phantom family!

The Phantom and his sibling on the second night. 

I didn't get a picture from the 3rd night but here is me, Jesse, Kelley, and Evan on the last night.

and now here are some pictures from the performance!

The Phantom is angry after being betrayed by Christine.

Making Christine chose between the Phantom and Raoul.

"You alone can make my song take flight, it's over now the music of the night!"

I loved every minute of the performances and I am actually really sad that it is over. I love my brother and I am so proud of all of his hard work. It really paid off and he gave one hell of a performance. I love him very much. 

Oh! I almost forgot! I bet you have been wondering what the Phantom was hiding under his mask!

well there it is! His gruesome face. :)

Well, be with me as I finish out the last few days of my high school career, attend senior banquets, luncheons, and award ceremonies, and watch my older sister, Amy, graduate.

Soooooo....
