Open House Videos Part 6 and 7

FINALLY finished them all! I used "I'm Gonna Fly" by Sydney Forest. It's from one of Bry's favorite movies "Kiki's Delivery Service". I also used "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen. And "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews. No Bry doesn't have a grandmother named Rosemary, but the rest of the song fits her pretty well! The last video uses "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars and "Hall of Fame" by the Script and will.i.am. We only have 6 more days until graduation. I have kept the tears at bay. Hoping the dam doesn't flood open on Saturday! Gonna take lots of kleenex just in case!

Open House Videos Part 5

Got another one done! This one uses the songs "Firework" by Katy Perry (Appropriate for a girl born on the 4th of July) and "All or Nothing" by the Glee cast. And since Bry has big plans to marry Darren Criss (Blaine from Glee) someday, I thought I should use one of his songs. :) We are now into the summer before her junior year!

Open House Videos Part 4

Got part 4 done! Only 1 song with this one- "Shooting Star" by Owl City. I have been busy working on the center pieces for the tables today. But the one song did get us from 6th grade into the first half of her eighth grade year.

Open House Videos Part 3

Finished part 3 of Bry's open house videos tonight. Once I have them all done, I plan to put them all together into one. Easier for me to do a little at a time! The songs in this one are "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder and "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack. This got us into the very beginning of Bry's 6th grade year. Gotta find some more songs before I can do anymore. Only 3 more weeks until graduation!

Senior Prom

Sent my girl off to her senior prom last night. She went with her friend, Blake. They had a wonderful time! In four weeks she will be graduating high school! She finally made a college decision- Purdue University. I am so happy because it is only about 1/2 hour away from here! She really had her heart set on the University of New Haven, but money-wise it just wasn't feasible. Purdue is a great school and I know in the end, she will realize she made a good choice. Especially when she isn't drowning in student loans! She has been working really hard on applying for scholarships. She has already gotten a few! I am so, so proud of her!

This is the "real" Bry...

Oh, the drama of it all!

Taking a bow

Steve and I at our senior prom in 1992. Bryson and Blake headed to their senior prom 21 years later! I love that we both wore purple! :)

Bryson Open House Videos- Part 2

Got the 2nd video done! Songs in this one were "Daddy's Little Girl" by Michael Buble and "Shine Your Way" by Owl City. This got us into her 6th year! Just about 12 1/2 years more to go! Only 4 more weeks until graduation!

Bryson's Open House Videos

I have been working on scanning pics and getting videos ready for Bry's open house. Here's the first one. Songs used were "My Girl" by the Temptations, "My Little Girl" by Tim Mcgraw and "Your Song" by Elton John. Wasn't sure if my emotions could handle the Tim McGraw song, but I sucked it up and made it work! I got her first 2 1/2 years done tonight!
