Metelka Wedding 2014

One of my very best friends is getting married just a few days from now. August 16th is the date. Trisha and I first met at Julies School of Dance 6 years ago. 2 days left!!!

Trisha started as my dance teacher but quickly evolved to my best friend. Trisha and I have danced together in many pieces and I always love getting to be in a number she choreographs herself! I remember the first dance I was ever in that she choreographed was "Wash that Man Right Out of my Hair"! Her classes are always so much fun with her crazy personality and face paced teaching style.

One Saturday she asked my other two friends, Kelli and Sara, and I to meet her for lunch at our favorite Mexican place in Hermitage. Of course we were all asking about her proposal and looking at her ring and then she asked us to be her bridesmaids. Kelli, Sara and I have been waiting for this moment ever since her and Jimbo, her fiancé, had been dating. We were beyond excited! We had so much fun going bridesmaid dress shopping and planing the wedding shower and now finally getting so close to the wedding day! I know I could not be happier to be able to share this very exciting moment in Trisha's life with her!

Trisha, I love you and I cannot wait to celebrate this day with you!

Two more days!


A Separate Peace Book Trailer

 For English class, this summer we were required to read the book A Separate Peace by John Knowles. Now our teacher has asked us to create a book trailer for the book that shows the themes and symbols. I used Anamodo to create my video. Each image represents something special. The first picture is a staircase. The staircase is a symbol because it is where a lot of important events happens. Next is the lake because they would always jump from the tree to the water. Then there is the tree. The tree was very important because a lot of things having to do with Gene's and Finny's friendship happened there. Lastly they were friends through the war. Not just the actual WWII but the war of friendship.

Before You Knew It.... JUNIOR YEAR

         Ware taking quite a big step from when I last posted. From the end of freshman year to the beginning of junior year. Of course it is important to have goals because if you do not have goals then you are just wasting your time. One goal for my junior year is to pass honors chemistry. Well.. I would like to do more than pass it! Hopefully make only A's and B's in the class but right now it is already very hard. Luckily my teacher, Mrs. Townsend, is very helpful and is willing to do whatever till we understand it. Another goal I have is to gain a deeper relationship with two of my best friends Tiffani and Autumn. We are in out youth group together and they are both younger than me but I really love them and want to keep encouraging them and mentoring them in their walk with Jesus. My last goal for this year is to become less afraid of standing up for what I believe. Everyone has those friends who sometimes may have conversations you don't like or you see a kid being left out. Well this year I want to be able to convertibility stand up for what I believe and not be so hesitant.
