8th Grade Formal

This past Friday, we had our 8th Grade Formal! We got to get all dressed up which I thought was one of the best parts! It was a "sweets" theme so the decorations were adorable! It was a lot of fun!

The End

Britt Nicole: Gold

I recently got the new Britt Nicole album: "Gold" It is my favorite album by her so far! It has a lot of really neat songs!

Kisses from Katie and my beaded necklace!

 

    A few days after this book came out I had a friend tell me about a girl named Katie Davis who lived in Uganda. She also showed me her blog. I instantly fell in love with her story and wanted to know more about her. The first chance that I got, I ordered the book and started reading it. It tells many of her stories with the people that live around her, young and old, girls and boys, the healthy and the unhealthy. These stories will touch your heart and will change your perspective on how you view the "things" around you. I highly, highly, highly recommend this book! If you want to get it you can click the Amazima icon on the right that goes to her website. Amazing!
     Just like quite a lot of African based organizations, the non-profit that Katie started called Amazima sells beaded necklaces that a group of women she knows makes! They are beautiful! Here is a picture of one that I got on Easter : :)

Wicked

                                                                       
This past Thursday for a Chorus fieldtrip, I got to see the show, Wicked. Amazing. Everything about it was "Wicked"... :). The characters, music, acting, story line, how they portrayed it, everything! It is the pre-quel to the Wizard of Oz. It is definitely a must see! Here is my  favorite song from it:

Dynamite Announcement

I saw this video on a friend's blog and was just in awe. It is the coolest thing! Adoption is truly WONDERFUL and life changing!!
