All grown up...

So this weekend my little brothers graduated from high school. Nolan and Sawyer are the youngest out of all of us. Everyone came into town, Grandpa and Grandpa Hemmer, Grandma Orr, Uncle Kenny, and even my cousin Calli whom I haven't seen in many years. The ceremony was Friday night, and before the valedictorian could even make his speech, it started to pour down rain. Luckily my Dad brought an umbrella and it made for a lovely memory.

After the rain passed, graduation continued and finally Nolan and Sawyer received their diplomas as honor graduates, and have now ended the Hemmer Kids highschool journey...the last ones to graduate. Now, we are on to the college graduates. Hopefully, myself and my oldest brother Jason will be graduating soon.

Nolan and Sawyer's graduation was really emotional for me, because they are my little brothers, they aren't supposed to grow up. They are going to Temple next year, which is in Philly, and I won't be able to see them as much. I am so proud of them.

What is "pretty" anyways....

For my english class we read

Toni Morrisons

The Bluest Eye

It is amazing, everyone should read it

just words

"...the only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are made to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything
at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing,
but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles
exploding like spiders across the stars
and in the middle you see the blue center light pop
and everybody goes 'Aww!' ..."

On the Road
Jack Kerouack
everyone should read this book...

What's next...

During the month of June and July

I will be attending the
American Dance Festival.

I will be living in Durham.
Hopefully, I will have lot's to tell people
(amelia and kristina...my fellow bloggers)
about all the experiences
I have.

Oh Sweet Summer...

Seeing as how I haven't updated my blog in over 5 months...now that winter is gone, finals are over, and the sun has been shining for the past 2 weeks, it's time to write about fun stuff.

My favorite photography to inspire summer time happiness!
