Aaron Graduated!!!!

Herculean task (explained later)

:) Ahh... Such a cute couple!

(I know I'm a little late, but) Aaron has graduated from the University of Virginia Law School!!! He's such an awesome brother-in-law. Congratulations, Aaron!

As we were walking to the gym where Aaron received his diploma, my dad compared Aaron's schooling to having an AP exam every single week and that's how hard Aaron's test were. I'm surprised he can think straight, much less, graduate! But he did it.

So, obviously my family went up there, or else I would not be writing this post. But do not think it was some sure thing. We decided to actually go only a few measly hours before we actually went. One moment it was, "Well maybe we should stay home, go see 'Prince Caspian'..." No complaints there. The next moment it's, "Why aren't you packing?! We're leaving for Virginia soon!" AAAH! Thankfully, I'm a pretty quick packer, and I had clean laundry. So, we were off.

I had soooooo much fun. I got to spend time with both sisters and I saw "Prince Caspian"!!!! All of it was awesome.

Now, the actual ceremony was on Sunday, and they were going to have it inthis nice green thick carpet of a lawn (the type of grass that only football players get to see). That was Plan A. Well, there was a chance that it was going to rain, so they had to go to Plan B. Plan B was in the gym. With a ton of people. In other words, multiple bodies packed closely together in a very close space with a roof, walls, a few small, inadequate doors, and NO AIR CONDITIONING.

It was awful. I even fell asleep. Thankfully we had the magazine thick programs of who all was graduating. Near the end, I got very excited because I thought it was about to finally all be over. Oh no. We had the mostly foreign students. I wanted to scream! But, eventually it was over. Finally!

We then walked to take the Herculean task of a picture made even more difficult by number of cameras. It turned out well. Good job, Cummings! (And innocent bystander, who we actually had to wait for. They all disappeared when we wanted a picture. Hmm...) (Note: I only thought it was difficult because I am so unaccustomed to taking a picture of so many people smiling and looking in the same direction at the same time.)

This video was inspired by Katy's awesome post.

It's the Official Twilight Movie Trailer!

Here is a link to the trailer.

Do you see what I see?

There have been many references to a black snake, who lives here. I hope you can find it. When you find it, the saying will probably be, "Since it is a snake, it could have bitten me."

Bullseye On My Face

I know the second picture is a little intimidating, but that's how I felt, except to the right and down a little bit...

For those of you who didn't know, I had a soccer tournament with my rec. soccer team. We had a lot of fun. We won the 3 tournament games on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but lost the championship game today, Saturday.
On Tuesday, we played a team that liked to make big, hard kicks. Well, me being the stupid, brave ball magnet I am, went for the ball when the girl was about to kick. Correction, kicking. I see her face, and the next thing I know, I'm curled up on the ground, just trying to breathe. Thankfully, Dad had brought ice, so I was good in a little bit. I'm all better, nothing bad left.
