Graduation

Hello everyone!

How's your week been?  Mine has been pretty fabulous because I had a wonderful graduation, on Wednesday and then a wonderful party yesterday evening!

The actual graduation was pretty fun.  Our ceremony started at 2:00 p.m and we had to be there at one.  Before the ceremony I was just hanging backstage talking with all of my friends!  The ceremony itself was just all right, the speeches weren't terribly inspiring, but it was still fun!  So now pictures of graduation.  I'm sorry I didn't get many pictures after or with my friends because it was so chaotic after the ceremony.

Class of 2013!  In case you can't tell our school colors are green and gold!

Yesterday was our graduation party!  My family took six of our friends to a restaurant in a town about 45 minutes away from Anchorage.   The restaurant is called The Double Musky Inn and it looks like a fishing bar, but do not be fooled because they have amazing food!  It was really good! 

This is a group picture (minus Mariah) before we left.  In the back (from left to right) there is Regina and Thea.  Then on the couch (from left to right) is Zach and Haley, Anna, Kendall and me. 

Unfortunately we didn't all get to sit together at the restaurant because there were twelve of us.  My grandparents from upstate New York are here.  They came for our graduations, but anyway the party was still super fun.

 Here is a small taste of the delicious!  It's a virgin pina colada that I had. 

At the restaurant my sister and I opened up are graduation gifts!  I got earrings from Anna, a computer lock, for my laptop from Kendall and I got a wonderful picture frame with a picture of Thea and I at prom, all the gifts were really sweet and amazing! I also got a one of a kind, handmade bracelet from my parents! 

This is the bracelet my parents got me!  This bracelet was made by Lisa Nortz.  She makes lots of pretty jewelry.  Here is her website, if you are interested:    http://www.silverbenchjewelry.com/

I would like to thank all of my friends and family and everyone at my high school for their love and support.  I have gone so far this past year and it's just the beginning, thank you so much, everyone!  

Tomorrow my family leaves for Seward, where on Sunday we will go Halibut fishing.  I will take lots of pictures and post about it and after that, I will try to make this blog more about Turkey and that sort of thing.  To anyone who reads this, thank you so much for reading and I will leave you with a picture of my graduation cards.  :)

Till next time
