Happy holloween!

happy holloween people!!! If anybody reads this, I don't care if I've never heard of you. COMMENT  I want to know what your costume is =).

I went to two costume parties as a flapper, but at the second of these someone bumped into me and spilled all over it so I can't wear it again ='(. So we go to plan B. Herione Granger =). I washed my hair last night and did nothing to tame it this morning. I already have jeans and a white button down shirt, but I am still looking for a red and gold striped tie =/.

My brother and I already have plans for next year...Max Smart and Agent 99 =).

So again...COMMENT! I love hearing new ideas! =)

Today is happy.

Today is happy for many reasons.

#1 My sister is home! Yay! 

She goes to school in Oregon and this Summer she stayed up there to work. She is home for about a week for my Mom's birthday.

#2 I am getting baptized on Sunday! We scheduled it for a time when Madelaine would be at home. I am very excited! I went on a mission trip a few weeks ago and the lady who lead it and her husband are gonna be my Godparents =). I am very happy about that. I can't wait to make the Krauses even more like family than they already are.

#3 I've been shopping a bunch lately so I have a bunch of really cute new clothes, all of which I got really cheep!

Rainy Mood and Just Girly Things

Wow...I am a terrible blogger. I need to start doing this a little more often! Maybe when school starts again and I have more of a schedule than I will make it a habit to blog!

Anyway...

I recently found (and fell in love with) two things on the computer.

#1 http://www.rainymood.com/ check it out. It's awesome!

#2 Just Girly Things. Just Girly Things is a collection of memes about things that girls - in general - love, do, wish for, think about, and so on. A few of my favorites:

Did I mention there's about a billion of them? =D

...so...what's up guys?

Yes I am sorry...again. Truly. But I said that last time too so you really have no reason to believe me again...except that it is true.

So: more updates.

First: I dyed my hair, for (almost) the first time. Last time it was only a little darker than it is naturally, and it was a demi-permanent dye that washed out after three washes. This time it is also a demi-permanent dye but it is way darker and it has lasted for over a month. I love it.

Before: 

After:

We put a little tiny bit of red in it too =). I was way fun and I love it...but I'm thinking of cutting it in a bob and dyeing it blond with peach streaks =)...but I haven't really decided yet...but I would love your input. Beware though that I will - as Henry Higgins says "Listen very nicely and then go out and do precisely what she" - or should I say "I" - "wants" but I would none the less like to hear your opinions =).

Second: I was in the play! It was called "Quest For Honor: A King Arthur Musical". I played Morgana LeFay, and had way to much fun being evil =). I also got to be dead drunk in my first scene. It was waaaay to much fun =). 

Me as Morgana with Josh, the guy who played Sable Night, my partner in crime: 

The cast was wonderful! I had so much fun with them and made some really wonderful friends =). We had a wonderful stage, it was a amphitheater style theater with the stage on level with the first row of seats. It was tons of fun and I got my own set, and got to throw confetti at one point...it was awesome =). 

Third: MY BROTHER IS NOW MARRIED!!!!!! The wedding was beautiful =). 

The bride's maids lined up ready to walk down the isle:

The vows:

Ringing the bell:

Cutting the cake:

"Don't you dare Zack!":

My beautiful mother in the middle with my beautiful sister on her right and me on her left:

First dance:

They're married! Celebrate with a bang!:

Leaving the reception while everyone waves sparklers: 

Didn't I tell you the wedding was amazing? It was at her family's house in Idaho, so we got to road trip it up there and it was beautiful! They are on their honeymoon now and I can't wait for them to get back. They have an apartment ten minutes from my home and I am gonna be hanging out with Faith a lot this summer I hope =).

If I am ever rich...really rich =)

I would live in one of these places. http://www.groupemobilis.com/en_annonce-achat-NF52-2253.html http://www.groupemobilis.com/en_annonce-achat-BA70-277.html. In any of them I would; thoroughly refurnish, remove all red, and replace the floors with pale (almost white) wood, except the bathrooms which would have white tile floors and the kitchen which would get a black and white checkerboard patterned tile floor =). And I think I would leave the checkerboard pattern on the floor in the entree way in the apartment.

Dream come true!!!

First of all...aren't you proud of me??? Something happened today and I am writing about it...today!

...Anyway...

Ever since I can remember I have loved acting, and wished I could be in a *real* play...preferably a musical. The only problem is I can. not. sing. But today, I met with a woman who used to be a professional actress/singer, and who now devotes an amazing amount of time to a theater production specifically for christian youth ages 8-18, but which also includes some adults. And they have a vocal coach who can, hopefully do something for my voice =). I am VERY excited =). We are doing an original play written by her, that is based off of the King Arthur stories. It's a musical, and, Mrs. Wilson writes parts for every one, there is no "ensemble". The only problem with that is...she says, I'm gonna have to sing a solo. But still, I am very much looking forward to it!

News updates...there is plenty =)

Well, hello again! Have you missed me? I am going to delude myself into thinking you have =). I have missed you too.

First: my brother is getting MARRIED!!! *freaks out with excitement* I am so looking forward to adding another sister...plus, Faith absolutely ROCKS =). That also means that, (at least) one of my dreams is gonna come true: I am gonna be a bridesmaid! I'll write a long post all about it after the wedding, which is gonna be on June 29th "They say when you're married in June your a bride all your life" =).

Second: I have a new friend... correction; new best friend. Her name is Julia, and she has literally changed the way I think, the way I perceive myself, the way I relate to people. She has changed my life and I daily thank God for putting her in my life.

Third: I have a ballet showcase on June 22nd and we are dancing to Masquerade from Phantom Of The Opera. We get to wear bright tutus (mine is saphire blue) and mini top hats, and we are using fans in our dance. It is gonna be so cool. Plus we get to wear red lipstick and smoky eye-shadow (I am gonna put some blue on the edges of my eye shadow, to match my tutu). Plus the dance is REALLY cool! =). I am very excited!

Fourth: You absolutely have to look up Bobby Jo Valentine. If you have a face book look up his music page. His music is SO good!

Fifth: It has been RAINING! I am so happy! But I am also very cold. So much so that I am having a difficult time typing! Oh well, it's the price we pay =)

I think that's about all. But if anything else happens I am acctually going to tell you about it! I am! I am going to blog more. I promise.
