This was my second wedding shoot and it was for my cousin Marie and her new husband, Charlie. They had 3 kids together, she had one from a previous marriage and he had 3. (one of his sons is missing in the picture). It was a beautiful family wedding even though they kept saying it was a 'redneck wedding' which fit pretty well.

Congratulations!!

What A long Time It's Been

It's been a long time sense I've posted here and I apologize to all my readers, friends and followers for the absence. I've had a pretty busy couple of months filled with annoying drama that I really never wanted to get into in the first place and new discoveries. Summer's almost over and I'm about to start my Junior Year. I can still remember my Freshman year. It seems like it was just days -maybe weeks, ago. It's weird thinking I've know my best friend Lillee for only 2 years. But within these two years, we've gotten very close and I can't imagine my life without her. She's always been there for me and normally is the only one I can go to when I really need someone. I know she's got her opinion's about my things, and she voices them. Normally, she's always right and I -very stupidly- try to do things anyway even though they always end the way she says their going to and I would have been able to save myself a lot of pain if I had listened to her.

It's been a pretty intense summer. I found out that I was allergic to the Sun, so I'm stuck inside most of the time and whenever I go outside I have to wear a lot of sunscreen and wear cloths that cover all skin. This is a huge difference seeing as I used to wear mostly tank tops and dresses. I can still wear them, just under my sun cloths and when I'm inside a building away from the sun. I've also spent a lot of time on my photography this summer. I did a Senior Photo shoot for one of my best friends, James. And I've taken a lot of photos of my nieces and nephews when they're over or when I get to see them. Babies are my favorite topic.

Also, like most of the world, I've been sucked into the Olympics and nearly fallen in love with Ryan Lochte. He's adorable. My favorite events were Gymnastics and Diving just because they are both so amazing to watch. I wanted to watch Synchronized Swimming, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure why, it was just never on when I had the time to watch.

To close this post with letting everyone know I'm going to change the theme and background of this blog and going to re-start my swap sponsors. If you want to swap with me, please email me at alishastar1234@gmail.com with "Swap" in the Subject box.

First, I would like to say sorry for not posting in like 2 weeks... things have been crazy. The play opened and closed last week and things are finally getting back to normal, meaning I can blog more starting now. :)

Here are some pictures of the play (the ones I'm in were taken by Sabrina Ruiz (who played Helen).

Blanchet Speech Tournament

Saturday, March 3rd 2012 was our Last Speech tournament before Districts. How'd we do? Well, not so well. No one on our team finaled. But I did have a really good talk with some amazing boys on my team and it was a really good day anyway. Plus, I got to flirt, which is ALWAYS fun.

That Darn Kid

Charlee has never liked her hair. Her mom refused to let anyone cut it until she was 16 years old. Well, that was so, until her dad moved in with some new girl and they decided they wanted it cut. So my mom, being the 'Hair cut lady' of the family, cut it for her from butt-length to shoulder length last summer.

But, On Monday, I came home to a surprise... hair in the cat litter box?! A kid with bangs that stopped more than halfway up her forehead?! She had cut her own bangs and then lied to us saying my mom had done it. However, my mom was home all day and had gotten just as upset when she found out.

Kinds Will Be Kids I suppose... I mean, what kid didn't cut their own hair at least once in their childhood?
