Downton Abbey Fashion Show

Pollywog (16), Sweet Pea (13), one of my dearest friends and I were excited to be a part of a Downton Abbey era fashion show. There were pictures of the actual event, but I don't have them yet. Hope you enjoy these pictures, though. 

 The lovely lady on the right is one of my dearest and longest friends.  Even with a 15 year time difference, we still make it work. Mind-blown? ;)

So blessed by her friendship. And our costumes were incredible (mine may look a bit familiar).

It was fun having two different costumes, although my sister Pollywog and I felt pretty scandalous changing from full-length 1890's dresses to 1920's flappers. I don't have a picture of Pollywog's other dress yet, but let me tell you it is one of the most gorgeous dresses upon which I have ever laid eyes.

 

'Model' poses. :P

Love these girls so much. Sweet Pea had the most adorable girls' basketball suit. 

I'm hoping to post more pictures soon, if they turn out. :)

Legal/Medical End of Year Ceremony

I cannot believe how fast the school year has gone by. Since last September, I have learned and grown so much. The Legal/Medical Office Applications program was such a blessing. I know that I could not have learned what I did myself. Between God giving me grace and my wonderful teacher, it happened. As a class, a few of the many things we learned included professionalism, proofreading, social and office skills, transcription, and legal and medical terminology. Many of us also became Microsoft Office Specialist Certified in Word and PowerPoint.
 
Last Friday was our 'End of Year Ceremony' for the program, and it was a blast. Had to share some pictures.
 

 

I had the tremendous privilege of giving a short speech on behalf of my class. :) Talking photos never look nice, but the presenting was so much fun that I couldn't exclude this photo. If that makes sense.

 

Receiving our certificates of completion.

 

 Some of the lovely ladies also in Legal/Medical.

 

 

 This girl is so sweet. <3

I am so thankful that God allowed me to have this incredible opportunity. Looking back, I know I would never have expected to be where I am today, and I cannot wait to see what He has in store next year.

Fantastic Sibling Moments Post#9: Black Death Flower...?

I got a new case for my cell phone today, and Mozzarella (14) exclaimed, "Hey! It's like a black death flower! I love it! Very inspiring."

I'm...flattered?
