The One Where I go to Prom...

 Huge weekend, everyone! I had the first of my last dance recitals and then I left immediately for Senior Prom. With my best friend since childhood. How did this homeschooled girl get so lucky as to go to a Senior Prom? Well, it starts with having an amazing guy.
I have no idea what is with

 When I was three years old we became friends with this amazing family. They had a son my age and we became close friends. We even did kindergarten together, we go camping every summer with them, we did band together and we took some senior pictures together. We keep in contact and hang out, but not as much as we used too, due to the changing seasons in each of ours lives and the busyness of being Seniors.
 About a month ago, when I got back from Oklahoma. I came back from dance one night and Mom said I needed to call Brandon. I figured it had something to do with graduation and coordinating getting together or something along that line. So, I called him excited to talk to my friend. He answered and we chatted for a bit and then he said: "So I was wondering if you wanted to go to prom with me?"  Or something to that effect. I was so excited I don't remember the exact wording. Needless I was going to prom with a wonderful guy. Obviously, I accepted and we began planning throughout the following weeks. The color of my dress, who is picking who up when and getting me to the right place at the right time since I also had the first show of Peter Pan that weekend. Excitedly,  Saturday night, May 6th came and mom helped me quickly change from Peter Pan to a girl going to prom. We awkwardly, pinned flowers on each other. Took some pictures, waved goodbye and we were off to prom.

We decided to stop for coffee. When we got in line for coffee the barista asked if we were going to prom and we said yes and she asked: "Will you order frappuccinos, so I can take your picture and post it to our FB page?" We were like sure! So she did and it was really fun. Brandon decided we were going to be famous.  After that adventure, we made our way to prom.
Ready for Prom!
At prom, Brandon introduced me to all of his friends and it was fun to put faces to names. All of them were nice and seemed to really like Brandon. We danced most of the night and had more fun than I can describe. His sisters Gracie and Abby were there. Abby had a date and Gracie brought a friend. It was fun to see all of us doing our own thing and hanging out.
After prom, we had an ice cream party at Michelson's. It was a great night full of memories that I will cherish forever. I am so blessed that Brandon and I got to go to Senior Prom together. He made it so incredibly special and I am going to miss him so much while we are off doing our different paths at college. To get to go to prom as close friends and share these special memories together makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Thanks Brandon for such an incredible night.

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

Meet Riley!

 Hey, so you remember all those posts I did in July? Yeah, me either....I am sorry guys. Summer has been great! Full of adventures and fun. We had our VBS, celebrated the 4th, I had my college orientation (a hopeful future post), we went camping, and enjoyed many days outside in the sunshine. Along with all these fun summer activities, there has been an addition to our family.     Everyone, meet Riley! A fun-loving, three-year-old, German Sheppard. She came to us through Spokanimal, but she is originally from LA. There, she was found on the streets and had just had puppies. We don't know what happened to the puppies but are thrilled to have her in our family. Riley loves grass absolutely loves it. She rolls around in it all the time and wants to be outside as much as she can. So far, she has loved everyone she has ever been around. The first day we got her we had our VBS team and a couple guys came over and she loved them. Last week we had twenty band kids over for a c...

New Roads

Another adventure I have been up to is driving, I started driver's ed about 3 weeks ago and what and adventure it has been. Between navigating the DMV for my permit, learning to deal with teachers and classmates that are different from what I am used too. Not to mention the actual driving, hehee that has been entertaining. One of my first times out, there was an incident involving a Zip's parking lot, a turn lane and a learning what a drive thru lane is. Moral of story I now know what a turn lane is, everyone lived and I am sure that the guy in the drive thru wasn't in shock for long, whoops! Last night's adventure involved a car trying to cut me off, driving in too close at the gas station,  a imaginary person in the road and hitting a porcupine. (Which I actually cried over) What I am learning is that I am never going to be instantly perfect at something I am going to mess up. The important thing to remember is I have amazing parents here to help me learn, a class ...
