Big Thanks

My graduation party was today!!! It’s really weird to think that the day has already passed. I’ve been thinking that a lot of these events will never come, and then out of nowhere I’m reflecting on it! Makes me kinda sad. On one hand I want the moment to last forever. On the other, I’m ready for the next big moment.

Thanks to my family (and some friends), my party was all that I could’ve wanted! My Grandma Marcia and Leah handled the decorations, and they were awesome. We stuck to a sunflower/map theme. Sunflowers have always been my favorite flower, and I chose the map theme in honor of my first international trip this summer. My mom and Scott made almost all the food, and my Grandma Powlen made some food too. Talk about good cooks, I had all of my favorite foods. The menu included French “Mack”arons, “Mack” n’ Cheese, buffalo chicken dip, fruit, pulled pork, fruit pizza cookies, and A SMORES BAR!!!

Then, my lovely father devoted his time and skills to making a photo booth for me to take pictures with. It’s really nice to have a dad that can craft anything that comes to my mind, whether it involves welding, woodworking, basically any DIY project that us girls throw at him, he can do it. It seems like my family all has their own way of accomplishing DIY projects. Also want to give a shoutout to the fam bam that helped me set up and clean up! I was happy that I was able to gather all my awards and things pertaining to my life and show them to everyone.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with me. I had the opportunity to catch up with some old teachers, old friends, new friends, acquaintances, and relatives. Everyone made the day so special, and I truly appreciated the time I was able to spend with everybody who attended! I was able to get a picture with many people, but I know I definitely forgot to snag some people before they left. In addition, thank you in advance to everyone who gave me gifts or cards! I loved everything!

To all my friends that came, I wish you the best! Kinda weird that I won’t be seeing you everyday 😦 most of you have been good to me, and I am grateful. Sad that I only have a few days left with some buddies. Hopefully I can make it to everyone’s party!

SMELL YA LATER (but probs not)

P.S. I know I SUCKED at getting invitations out but I never got around to delivering all of them, sorry in advance! I realized afterwards that I never invited some people that I would’ve liked to include, and I feel really bad 😦
