Prom 2009

Putting on the boutonniere!
I am a pro! :)




We're so cute! haha


Spencer wearing brown socks...
Just to bug me!



Me and my cute sis!

Prom was a BLAST this year! Dear Spencer is a very very funny boy... we laughed. A lot. Our little day date didn't work out so well.... its a long and complicated and very very awkward story... but also very very funny! Well the actual prom was very fun! We went to dinner in our regular clothes, which was a brilliant idea on Spencer's part! Then took pictures at the Harwell's, much more enjoyable than school pictures I think! Then took pictures at Mike's and Spencer's. Spencer's whole family was soooo funny when we went over! They all LOVED my dress and fauned over it a lot, it made me feel like a princess! Well then we drove down to the dance... We went to the wrong building at first, and it had a bunch of stairs leading up to it, and I got a great idea! So we did it after the dance. But the dance was SO fun! Me and Spencer have very similar dancing patterns and so it was hilarious! We danced funny a lot and Spencer got much better at the swing dance! Everybody looked very pretty! Spencer's tux was very classy, white penguin tails baby! And the corsage he got me was really pretty! Bright orange flowers looked great with lime green! Well on the way out of the dance, the plan went into action. I said, "I have to go!" and left my shoe on the stairs and ran. On Monday, Prince Charming is going to look for the girl with the perfect fit of the shoe! HAHAHA!


Our cool shoes!

Well, it was really really fun! And I got to stick my head out of the sun roof, which I have always
wanted to do! Thank you very much to Spencer who helped me have a wonderful time and took me! He is awesome! I <3 Prom!

ROOMMATE!

Well...
I am so so so excited!
I have a roommate!
Actually I have 5 roommates!
It is going to be sooooooo fun!
So we are going to have a lot of K names...
Kaitlin, Kylie, Katie, and Kristen!
And then Rebecca and Julia!
We are definitely going to have a blast!

Mixed Emotions...

Right now I am feeling...

Cold. Probably due to the fact that there is about a foot of snow outside my door.

Unhappy. In fact due the large amounts of snow outside my door.

Slightly Annoyed. Probably because of the unmistakeable voice of Spongebob that has been coming out of the nearby TV for the last couple hours.

Antsy. I want to dance with somebody... I want to feel the beat with somebody!

Excited!
#1 - My prom dress is really pretty and prom is going to be super fun! Both of them!
#2 - Kyle is almost done with school and will be moving back in the next week or so!
#3 - School is almost done! Hallelujah!
#4 - I am a valedictorian candidate!

Confused in a couple ways...
#1 - I don't know where anybody is... Well the boys are all doing their own thing, of course. Haven't seen Kelsie about all day today. Carly is nowhere to been seen for the last couple of hours. And saw my parents leaving about 7ish...
#2 - I swear when I walked past the front door it was locked, but walked back past it about 30 seconds later it was unlocked...
#3 - I got out of a ticket today? haha

Frustrated. I wish I could play the guitar better than I do.

Worried.
#1 - My grades are not the very best right now shall we say...
#2 - Some people haven't acted the same towards me lately, I don't know if I did something or if it is just me and nothing is different.

Tired. But what's new?

The Underlying Energy Level is... wanting to break out... but how?!

Laughing. A lot. My parents just came back with the story that Carly ran her car onto the railroad tracks and ruined two tires. HAHAHA.

Happy. Life is going really well for me right now. I feel like my testimony is growing, I am getting more friends, learning a lot, getting along well with my family, mostly doing things right.

The funny thing is, even though I am feeling all these emotions, if you looked at me right now, I don't think you would guess any of them! The one you would guess... I am assuming since my mom just did... is out of it, distanced, eyes glazed over, weird mood. Strange, I know.

But under all these layers of emotions....

It's KAITLIN!

Nationals?!

I did it.
I am officially a nerd!
Four eyes, suspenders, the smarts, and the talk. I got it all down baby.

Alright, excuse that little blip.
I made it to NATIONALS! For science fair! Who would have thought?
If anybody would have asked me 5 years ago, 2 years ago, 6 months ago even, if I would even think about doing a science fair project, I probably would have fallen on the floor from laughing so hard. And yet, here I am, geek to the exactness!

Osmotic Priming lowdown for normal people: osmotic priming is soaking a seed in a primer (certain chemical) and that will make it have a much better germination rate in adverse conditions! Corn, barley, oats, grass, they all grow better primed!

So why is that even cool you might ask?
Well... besides the fact that I got an $80,000 scholarship, $50 check to pocket, and 2 wicked cool trophies... Nationals?! How many people can say they've done that, eh?

I would just like to thank my father for yelling at me daily when my seeds were all over the counter, Kyle for helping me label them, and Spencer and Mike for letting it go every time I made a mistake AKA every day or time we worked on our project!

So look out Nationals... here we come!
