The ball

Left to right: Kaitlyn, Ann, Brittany and me

We're baack! I dont even know where to start!!!! We. Had. An. Awesome. Night. lol! But, I forgot to take my battery for my camera to the ball and so I didn't get ANY pictures of what the mansion looked like or what everyone else looked like!! D: Such a bummer.
The mansion was gorgeous! It had christmas tree lights everywhere on it and around it. It looked amazing! They were white lights, and it had a romantic feel to it. lol.
We got there and pretty much went straight to the food since we were all starving! It was set up like a buffet and the servents and a maid stood around the table with all the food making sure that if we needed anything that they were there for us. Then we went and sat out in the gazebo which was huuuuge! It had glass all around it and lots of christmas tree lights everywhere. Later that became the dancing area for the night. ;)
After eating we toured the mansion and got our pictures taken by a professional. Throughout the whole night the photographer kept finding me somewhere and taking lots of pictures of me, lol, it was kind of funny,
Also we had someone ask us to be in a scene of their film they were making...we never asked what it was for! We're also getting put into the Portland Tribute newspaper this thursday possibly, so that's cool too! :)
Then we pretty much danced all night! It was reallllly cool! Lots of slow dancing in squares...looks exactly like what they danced in the pride and prejudice movies. ;D We all had so much fun, we were squealing all night, lol!

So here are some of the pictures after the ball....
This is just a close up picture of our hair. Mom did both of ours! <3

Finished

Last night Brittany and I dressed up early so that some of our family could see our dresses before the ball. Since they wouldn't be able to see us during the real dress up. I'll post more pictures in a few days of the actual getting ready and having our hair all done and make up on and what not and pictures of the other girls. We'll see if I can sneak a camera into the ball and take pictures of other people. ;) Also, Sister Dayna made our fans for us so that they'd match our dresses. Too cool, huh? Thank you sooooo much sister Dayna! :D And thank you Sister Dayna and mom for helping Brittany and I learn to make our own dresses. Next year its YOUR turn to come with us to the ball ;D

Night out

Yay! I'm so excited, I get to take Brittany out tonight! We're hitting the town to go watch a movie and go out to dinner. This'll be our first night out since she got bad. I've missed our date nights, so this'll be a treat! I'm a little nervous to go too, because we've gotta get her in and out of the car and into her wheel chair. I'm a worry wart, and I know it'll be just fine. Anways, I best get myself ready to go!

Musicals

Don't you just love the old musical movies? I do!! I know I'm probably a dork, but I've been listening to the 'My Fair Lady' sound track all week. Some of my most favorite songs my poppi sings around the house are on that movie...songs he made up words to, but kept the tune.
The movie above is my favorite song, annnnd the song that got me the nickname Raine in spain. There are some other great musicals...like "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (Reminds me of my brothers..too funny), "West Side Story"(They have the best dance moves in one scene), "Wizard of Oz" (Love the shoes and munchkin song), "Singing in the Rain"(Love the song singing in the rain...), "Little Mermaid"(I know its not THAT old, but it's my favorite disney musical ;) ), and a few others by Shirley Temple and Judy Garland...and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Anyone else like old movies? =o I know this post was pointless,but frankly, I don't have a whole lot to talk about lately. =B
