Graduation pictures

Finally finished with high school. My parents took me to an amazing vacation up to Virginia where I was able to see some old friends and make some new ones--not to mention meet a bunch of people I knew well but had never seen! The joys of online school...

One of my absolutely favorite people. So lucky to call her my friend; I don't think you can meet a cooler person :-)
 
These are some of my fellow graduates and our friend Enoch at the dance. We weren't doing much dancing, can't you tell?



Our attempts at dancing. The dance called for four people; we tried to pull it off with five, then with four with one of us in the middle. It didn't work, so we just stood around watching everyone else dance.

This is the church I graduated at. St. Thomas--ironic, since St. Thomas supposedly went to South Asia :-)

 

My wonderful parents. Can't say they brought me into the world, but they sure made my world livable.

I know they're not all looking at the camera. Try getting thirty people to look at a hundred cameras at the same time. This wasn't all of my graduating class, either; some of them didn't get to come and do this, but I know they deserved it.

No comment.

At the dinner. The picture doesn't capture how much fun we were having.

Two very cool people. One's a violinist, one's a potter/author.

 

One more :-)

Thomas's idea.

A walk through Lancaster; beautiful town.

This picture's so ridiculous I can't say anything.

we've graduated! took us long enough. I think we all kind of look annoyed in this picture...annoyed of High school, probably.

  2. These photos are wonderful and what you've said about them is even more precious. Those were a few of the best days I've ever lived. Love you, Bliss!

    1. I agree, and I hope we have days like that again. All of you are so amazing I can't understand why God has blessed me with you...you live so close comparatively, it's so weird to know I can make a day trip to your house

  3. I've been having trouble with my prayers lately. I'm still regularly thanking God for that week and am frustrated at my own inability to express--let alone live out--my gratitude. I can't even express how far short my expression falls from the mark. It's annoying.
