My High School Graduation!

     Yesterday was the big day--no gigantic day!!! Probably one of the greatest moments of my life is yesterday all wrapped up in a big package. I loved everything about it! Whether it was my whole outfit (new dress and shoes included) coming together, or my march down the aisle, or the talking to everyone after and giving a bazillion hugs, or even getting a peanut butter cup milkshake at Black Bear Diner afterwards--the truth is that I cannot point to one thing in particular and say that that one thing was the best thing that made the whole night special. It was just a combination of everything.

     I do want to thank my family and friends that traveled from out of town to attend the ceremony. I appreciate it, and I love you guys!!!

     Now, the question you all have been asking. "How did the speech go?" Well, it went FANTASTIC!!! At least I think it did. . . everyone was telling me it was awesome but the whole time they are saying that I'm just thinking my head. "Gee thanks! That's really kind of  you to say even though you are probably just lying through your teeth!!!" No, but I think the thing that really matters is 1) I feel really good about it and I know I did my best 2) I didn't cry up on the platform and 3) the crowd laughed and chuckled at the appropriate times. I would love to go on talking and talking about this day for many more pages but the fact is that I had a long day at work today, and I just played some hardcore walleyball (volleyball in a racquetball court) with my siblings so I must hit the hay. :)

     Before I hit that hay however I would like to share with you the same quote I ended my speech with for those who were not there to hear it. Enjoy!

  "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." -Apple Inc.
