Brittany and Lorraine Pictures...

This year for Christmas Brittany and I went and got out pictures taken by the same lady that took my families pictures for mother's day. We had planned on doing it last year before Britt got really sick, but pretty much right after planning it, she was in the beginning stages of the sickness.
We took these pictures for our moms this christmas. Years and years ago, Brittany and I had our pictures taken in identical dresses (Possibly around the age of 10)and haven't gotten our pictures taken since, so we thought it was about time for it...since its been 10 years ago!!! Here are a few of the pictures that I saved on my computer before I gave my mom the whole CD of pictures...these aren't all of them. There was a good picture of Brittany by herself like mine, but I don't have it on my computer!:(

I was cracking up trying to take this picture, for some reason my eyes didnt want to stay open because of the bright light lol....

There's a duck by brittany!! O_O

The leaves in this picture are awesome :D

This is one of my favorite ones of us <3

The Apartment

So I thought I'd post some pictures of the aparment. We're still in the process of trying to figure out where things go, but that's kind of the fun part! Its been so much fun playing house! Getting up early in the morning and making Timothy lunch and breakfast, making dinners and planning them. So much fun! Anyways, here they are!
The kitchen, not much of a theme going on here ;D

Moose living room. Lol..looks empty in here for now..no couch yet! ;) But we did just get a vacuum cleaner as a gift. I'm more excited about that then a couch! lol

Dining room....

Black and White bathroom ;) Timothy helped with this room. Picking out the colors and such...

Moving...

Six or so months ago, I wrote a blog post about trying to get an apartment with my little brother...well, after we let our credit built, we decided to apply for the apartments again. This time we got approved!! Everything is going by sooooo fast! We got a call on Monday(or was it Tuesday...?) from the apartments saying we were approved, and they said we could move in anytime this week. So here we are 2 days later getting packed and moving out. We officially have the keys to our home and are ready to move everything in tonight and tomorrow.

Already I'm being a baby about moving...seeing the bare walls and all the boxes getting packed, I'm in tears. Not because I don't want to move out, because I don't have to, but because I'll miss Poppi coming in my room each morning kissing me goodbye for the day, mom in the kitchen cooking dinner and coming in to kiss me goodnight, Jonathan in the computer room playing games...I'll miss just being with them. Heh, I knew this day would come some time, but wasn't prepared in my mind for it at all. It will be an adventure and I'm sure both Timothy and I will learn alot together. :) Can't wait!

Love you mommy, don't be too sad...I'm only a mile away. I still need you...<3

Happy Thanksgiving...

I can't hardly wait for Thanksgiving to get here! It's one of my favorite holidays because my whole family is all together all at once, and I just love seeing the faces of the people I love around the table. I know we get together quite a bit already, but for some reason this day is more special-er to me. I like to look down the table and think of why I'm so thankful for each one around the table, and what each one means to me.

And this year, we're having Sis. Carrie and Bro. Mark over for thanksgiving! (Sis. Tiffy's older sister and brother-in-law) Can't wait!

Russell, love you and hope you have a great thanksgiving! Will be thinking of you lots and tons! <3

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

Alllllmost Finished!

Alrighty, so here's the almost finished project! There's still a lot more to do, but its starting to look like a dress...yay! Thank you mommy for your help, even when you had a massively bad headache! <3

Its not the best looking picture, but it'll have to do. The top isn't connected to the bottom, so that's why its on the ground and not on me...;D
