day 85
Today was a lazy sunday. I'm finally caught up on the 365, only to probably be falling behind this upcoming week. But that's okay because our school play is awesome.
day 84
This day I woke up and took photos of awesome people, then went shopping with my mom, went to the library, hung out at coffee with more awesome people, ate dinner with Matt's family, watched pokemon, and had adventures at carrs. This was a good day.
day 83
this might be cheating, but I scanned these photos for the play and I just love them.
The top left is my mom as a little girl with her uncle who used to live in Alaska. Top right is my mom holding a cat (I see where I get it). Bottom left is my grandma and her husband. And bottom right are my parents while they were still dating.
I love these photos so much. And while I was talking to my mom about them, I learned that my grandfather loved photography and even had a darkroom in his house. Love how passions are passed down through generations.
day 82
this was the senior celebration and Matt's pokemon badge.
day 81
Aaand a random photo of my face.
Hooray! I'm caught up! Sorry about not being on here in a while, I've really missed blogging a ton. But sometimes life gets in the way and that's okay. I love having a happy medium between being at home editing photos and blogging and going out with friends and being busy with work. But sometimes priorities have to change, and this week it's the play. After this week I'll do an awesome post to tell you all about it and then I should be back to that happy medium!
In the meantime, have a great week everyone!
day 80
Aaaaaw a family portrait with the entire family! This photo is infinitely better than the one I took before, and I already ordered this to go on our "living room wall" in the show!
So I'm going to have to talk for just a moment about something suuuper important: SMART SHOPPING. Haha okay, maybe not that important, but hey, everyone likes saving money, right? So before I ordered the photos from Walgreens (and I'm seriously in love with Walgreens photos right now), I quickly searched the internet for any coupons. There are always coupon websites that list codes for some pretty good deals, and lo and behold I found one. (I never like giving out my information to random websites, so be sure to look for one that doesn't require anything ... I got my code without even an email.) I'm not quite sure what the code specifically was for (just because I don't remember, hah), but it took twelve dollars off my order! Score! So my advice to you is this: always always always look for discounts before you buy something online, and ask if there are any discounts when you go shopping in real life. You never know if you'll save money if you don't try!
But on to this photo. I seriously love every single person in this. We've grown into a real little family of awkward and crazy and awesome drama people. I've just been having a ton of fun with this play, it hasn't been stressful, we've all bonded and had adventures and made memories together, and I will be so sad when it's over! Like always, I can guarantee next week will be so scary since we're actually performing in front of people (haha it's always right before a show I question why I ever even got myself into this mess), but man, I will be sad when it's over.
These are some of my favorite people ever. I cannot even repeat it enough. I love them.
p.s. Don't forget to enter my giveaway!! Tomorrow's the last day!
day 79
The next two weeks will be filled with simple photos, as I am busy with our school's production.
But here is a photo of my dear sweet man. Today was our thirteenth monthaversary, 'cause we're lame like that.
Today was our first tech day, with the play exactly one week away. My friends Amy and Miss Williams, along with Ryan and myself all went to go get the couch for the play. (Ryan went on to the school with the couch, while we followed behind.) Then of course Amy's gas light came on in her car and we rushed to the gas station on fumes, proud that we got there in time. But then (ooh man it was just like a movie), none of us had money to pay for gas! The boys back at the school didn't answer any phones, so we walked to the bank and broke in to get money. (Actually Amy was able to withdraw money without a card or i.d. ... thank you nice bank lady!) We payed for the gas after working through a faulty pump, and finally made it back to the school, without man's assistance, haha. It was super hilarious.
And of course there has been the typical cast silliness. In the upcoming days (if I have time) I'll post some photos I've been taking of it, and certainly I will post all about it after the performances.
In the meantime, we have rehearsal until 7:30pm. So Lauren has hardly any time for anything. But that's okay because this play will be spectacular. :)
