Real Men

In case you didn't know, my Daddy is an excellent writer. He writes independent screenplays as well as the screenplays for the "Liken" series.

Oh yeah, he also has a blog. He is actually the one who inspired me to start blogging. You should check out his blog HERE. His most recent blog is a beautifully written post about Abish actually. My daddy uses words in a way I have never been able to. It's amazing, really.

He also heads up a site called 'mormon daddy blogs'. You can go directly to it HERE. (PS My original intention wasn't to advertise for my Papa, it's just happening.) It's a site dedicated to the dads of the LDS church who blog. Why? Because there seem to be a lot of blogs written by LDS women. (Nie for example! Goodness, she is amazing...) So this site just gathers all the blogs written by some of the men of the church for those simply browsing.

This evening as I myself was browzing it, I saw that "Liken" was a sponsor. And what did it say? (I captured it...)

"Because real men watch musicals with their kids."

I don't know why but I absolutely love this! It made me chuckle. And wanna know something else cool? My daddy probably came up with that... because he is darn talented. And I love him. (oh and the me loving him part is irrelevant to his creativity but I just wanted to throw that part in there if that's okay with everyone... so... yeah.)

SURPREEZE!

Okay. One last post about May I believe. And here it is: (oh and I'll make it fast because I'm sure you're all ridiculously bored with my, 'living in the past-ness'... so here we go.)

Ya know how Mr. C's birthday was at the end of May? Well a couple of his friends and I planned a surprise party for him. And it was so fun! Why? Because I've never planned a surprise party before! I felt like I was on the party planning committee from The Office. Hopefully I was Pam and not Angela or Phyllis... wowie. Anyway! I failed and didn't take pictures at the party. But we took some afterward... it's the thought that counts right? And here it is...

me and the birthday boy.

It would appear I am not very good at taking pictures of myself (and others)... pity.

Remember...

..my 30 day blogging challenge?
Hahaha funny joke:)
Thanks for sticking around anyway.

Because we can.

Why did the graudating class of 2011 do a FLASH MOB during graduation? Because we can. Oh baby. It was so very fun to be apart of!!! My class is awesome.

Enjoy:)

oh dear. i miss high school. already.

Tonight I went to a graduation dance. (It's kind of just a dance where all the seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshman get to dance one last time together.) It wasn't for my school, as I have been graduated for a week now (oh my goodness, I'm so old!), but it got me thinking about high school. And how much I love it and how much I'll miss it. As tough as it was at times, it was... amazing. And I wouldn't trade any of it for anything.

What do all these pictures have to do with it though? Well let me tell ya. Chris, Amos, and I were all in the same English class. And at times, we were supposed to do silent reading. But did we? No... not always. We took peechas. Lots and lots of peechas. Here are just a few:

But wait! Why am I sharing these with you? Because moments like these (photo shoots in English), and other spontaneous adventures, are one of a kind. And the one of a kind experiences are what I'll miss most.

conjoined twins. at the head. obviously.

personal favorite.

peechas. prom and senior ball.

Remember when I told you I'd share Prom and Senior Ball pictures ASAPERS? Well the time has come! Let me share with you pictures from two of the funnest nights in my entire high school career...

Ladies and gentleman! Boys and girls! I, Alexandra, graduated with honors, an overall GPA of 3.9, and three letters, from high school on May 26, 2011. YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!! And what do I have to show for it? This little baby:

Boo-yah. I am overjoyed just thinking about it. It was an intersting ride, but a wonderful one at that. I'd like to thank all my wonderful teachers I've ever had, as well as my fellow peers who I have been honored to meet.

Many pictures were taken at the ceremony. Here are just a few...
