theater banquet 2010!

Hey its chels :)

i figured i should talk a little bit about friday and the theater banquet!
I guess you have to know something about me first. i don't act like a senior...at all. I mean, everything a kid dreams about when being a senior...like ditch day, senior prom, and senior banquet...yeah i didn't do any of those. And i'm perfectly okay with that. I spent those nights doing other fun things like going to see a musical in chicago, and spending time with my friend lindsay who i hadn't hung out with in much too long.

anyway....theater banquet was the first time that i actually felt like a senior. I was proud to be sitting at the head table with the people i have spent all four years of high school with. oh, and then i won best supporting actress :D It was such a great feeling.

Brian and i decided to match for this banquet since it would be one of the last things in high school that we would get to dress up together for. Here is how it turned out :






Here are just some random pics from the night :]


Best Actor - Tyler Mills
Best Actress - Emily Hogg
Best Supporting Actor - Mike Flores
Best Supporting Actress - Chelsea Keith






After the dinner brian got inducted into ITS and we both recieved a theater letter :) Also, we performed our duo from state and as much as i am bored with that song, i enjoyed performing it one more time with my best friend :)


Oh yeah...and also, brian and i decided to change into some ghetto outfits for the dance...and we looked goooooood.





...see? :)

overall the night was so much fun and i'm glad it ended out my senior year in theater :D

almost forgot!

I haven't told you, but i have a new baby cousin! :)
My aunt Tammy and Uncle mike had a baby boy almost 3 weeks ago. His name is Andrew. He is a character...except when he is alseep (which is about every time i see him haha)

here are some pictures :)

Brian's first post. :p

Just Brian right now, and I'm kind of excited that this is my first blog by myself, but also sad chels isn't with me right now :/

Things have been rough lately, problems with friends...problems with relationships...just a lot of problems. Except those times show you who you can count on to be there and who maybe just isn't meant to be a part of your life. I've had to think about a lot lately. I had to think if these people were positive influences on my life or not...unfortunately no. I had to end things with a certain someone.. she wasn't mean, needy, or anything bad, but after awhile things just weren't there. It was no ones fault, but it was still hard. I'm glad that she is still apart of my life as a friend though. Speaking of friends... When someone wants to cut you out, its best to let it go. Theres no fixing things that are one sided. But in the end, I'm ok with it.

On a happier note, I love my job. lol i work at dunhill tuxedo with my best friend and even though we aren't always scheduled together its always fun :) We sometimes sing when theres no customers or just tell funny stories. Theres never a dull moment. Just this past Thursday we were going to close in 10 mins and i got a call from a lady who was 10 mins away and wanted us to stay open for her. I had to tell her that if she got here before 8 we would gladly help her, but we would be closed at 8. So everyone was joking with me that it was my responsibility because we've had bad experiences with people cussing because we didn't stay open. so we had a count down and i waited at the door for it to turn 8. It was still 7:59 and we didn't see a car but we were all laughing and just slap happy. So the second it turned, they yelled and i ran and locked the door and ran back inside. I jokingly yelled to turn off the lights and literally dove behind the counter screaming HIDE! no one really came but we sat there laughing for couple minutes. Tracy almost peed because all she saw was me jumping n landing on the ground in my dress clothes. I don't know how funny it may sound on a blog, but it was pretty great. :)

I'm about to go becuase my friend who i haven't hung out with in months is coming over to play video games and watch ninja assasin.

chels - is it bad that i'm still kinda shooken up by today and really just want to curl up in a ball or get a hug? lol

brian - shooken up? i thought everything was good?

chels - it was. but idk. Once again i feel like i don't really know who iiii am. idk why i feel like that but it's like i spend so much time trying to work on friendships or trying to fix them that in the end i fell like i am nothing without my friends. like they define me.

brian - No, you define ur friends because you have such an impact on everyone you meet.

chels - you really feel that way?

brian - with all my heart chels.

chels - idk what to say. that's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. i'm kinda speechless.

brian - well it should be said more often, becuz it's true n you should never feel how you felt. i love you chels :)

chels - and you should know that out of everyone that I have been trying to fix friendships with, YOU are the one i call my best friend and i wouldn't want it any other way. Love you too :)

brian - well i'm honored to be your bestfriend, bestfriend lol




---this is just one of many examples we have. people may question how we are still friends after all of the crap we have gone through. this is why.

Hey. It's just Chelsea todayyy.
Sorry no video. The point of this post is really just to say how thankful I am for the people who I know love and care about me. It's nice to know that you aren't alone in the world. I had a pretty rough day today and it was nice to get a text or phone call of encouragement from the people who know me best :) it really allowed me to
focus on some stuff that I need to deal with.


So I will leave you guys with this
Romans 8:28

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,  for those who are called according to his purpose.


Love you,
chels :)
