Merry Christmas!

Flight to San Francisco in two hours, I plan on doing this for the next 9 days:

Awkwardly crawling and climbing to take pictures, as always. This was from a few weeks ago, but I'm still pumped to bring my camera to CA! San Fran, Sacramento, Tahoe, Muir Woods (fingers crossed)- so I should be able to get some good pictures! Be back soon :)

Christmas Christmas Christmas Almost Here!

Holidazzle Parade

 Picture quality is just... a little sloppy. Not too bad, though. But Madeline is the cutest thang. 

 LOOK, IT'S SANTA!!!!

 I like my friends. I will miss these girls. 

 Taking Minneapolis by storm?

Welcome to mah hood. 

Welcome to MinneSNOWta

 This is my road... driving... meh. 

 I'm cute I know- pfft, don't judge me. 

So, it has taken me a while to post. I've just been lazy. But a few weeks ago, heaven decided to let lose and dump on us- IT'S SNOW TIME! Ahh, the months of wearing sunglasses all the time (damn you- blue eyes!), sledding, slipping on the roads, and leaving my house fifteen minutes early every morning just to clean off my car. 

I'M GOING TO COLLEGEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whitman College Class of 2017!

Brandi Carlile stuck in my head 24/7

... and so translated onto my ukulele. Ignore my mother alerting me that dinner is ready. 

Perpetually Awkward.

Senior Pic!

One of the many incredible shots that Will got of me- I highly recommend, he's awesome! Check out his blog http://willchiz.blogspot.com/ :)

IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMASSSSS

 Julie and I are obviously the best Gingerbread House Makers on the planet. Obviously. 

 CHRISTMAS PUPPPPPPY!!! He got a haircut!

My mom got crafty and made an advent calendar this year. While a lot do have typical things like candy, they also have coupons for her to make us hot chocolate and jingle bell rings! 

 Like I said, we are fantastic. 

 SNOW? SNOW. SNOW!

Finally editing pictures?

Don't be shy, girl, go bananza, shake yo body like a belly dancer. 

Pictures from a long time ago- finally got around to editing them yesterday!

Into the Woods

Long weekend, but really happy. Now tired, but utterly okay with it because it's been a good last few days :) Here are a few pictures from backstage during Into the Woods. Hopefully my photographer friend will give me some of his pictures to post here so that you can see the set and the whole shabang! 

 My senior ladiessss :) Ya'll touch my heart, ya know. 

 Mmmmmm Lorenzo! 

 Well, I literally broke my shoes in. 

 Waddup, sexy lady and... Puritan? My life. 

 10,000 CIGARETTES REUNITED!!! 

When Rapunzel loses her hair at the end of the last show... 

Where's [Marra]?

So, this is what has been happening in my life. This show is so hard, so difficult, and I have a somewhat large part (I'm the narrator). I have had no time really to do anything else for the last couple days, I haven't had dinner with my family in about a week, and haven't even seen my father in the last seventy two hours. Ahh, but this show will be spectacular when it opens tonight. Tuesday I was at school until 10 pm, then back again at 5:30 am to be on the news. Tonight we open, and I could not get a full night's sleep (out of anxiety or excitement? Hmm.) Anyway, this is me, doin my thang -

Also, here is the required publicity, because, if you are actually reading this blog, you are awesome. And awesome people come see the shows at Hopkins! 7 pm Thurs, Fri, Sat, and also a matinee at 2 on Saturday. Thursday and Saturday matinee are both student discounts- BOGO! So, come see the show, we've put a ton of work into it. Plus, you would get to see me basically dressed as a Puritan (pictures to follow).

I'm going to try to get more involved on this website. I'm starting to understand it better, and I'm getting some great feedback from strangers! Wahoo!

Thanksgiving- Snow, Food, Friends, OH MY!

 THE WINTER IS BEGINNING!!! A;GR9EIRYTH;POE

Unedited Shots- Sunrise Thanksgiving Day 2012

Totally worth getting up early. Totally. One of the most gorgeous sunrises that I have ever seen, but the day kept going, getting colder and colder and colder, until eventually it snowed. Happy Thanksgiving!
