my baby girl is growing up!
Well, the 2007 Oly pagaent was rather nice, and I actually made it there relatively on-time. Luckly it started a little later than it said, so I didn't miss kelsey and my dad coming up on stage. In fact, I actually got to see them before they went on so that was nice :). She did a great job and had on this fabulous teal dress, which I think I would've been rather envious of in high school, heh.
It was kind of weird though sitting there and hearing people mentioning over and over again about how hilarious Kelsey is. Now don't get me wrong, I think she's a funny person and all, its just not how I see her. Margaret and I talked about it during intermission because frankly it baffled us all, and we kind of came to the conclusion that most of our family has the same sort of humor more or less so we don't see it the same way. I guess other people in my life have said that I was hilarious to some extent at one point or other, but it just seems natural, I don't know what it is...It was kind of funny to hear everyone throughout the pagaent mention it. People were talking about it during intermission, the pagaent director kept mentioning it, and even Mrs. Stanford (mother of Jessica Stanford, who was a student at Sprague and died 11 years ago of Leukemia), said that her daughter Jessica would've loved Kelsey's jokes. I felt kind of bad for her friend Caitlin though because she was other MC/coordinator and nobody ever said anything really in regards to her. Oh well, it was kind of funny.
Another funny thing was watching the slideshow, which obviously had mainly pictures of Kelsey, but also other pictures of our family, etc, its interesting to see how other people react to pictures, granted some of them were funny, but people were going crazy over our random pictures at disneyland, everyday life, etc. crazyiness.
In the program, all the contestants & coordinators/MC took time to thank their teachers and families, Kelsey even wrote something to me, which made me cry a little because I'm a baby and cool like that...
I want to thank you so much for being a great sister all these years. So I must say even though you are the black sheep of the family by going to the University of Oregon I must say you are my favorite black sheep! You are also one of the smartest people I know, I think it has to do with all the wheaties you have eatedn these past years. Your spontaneous personality is one thing I love about you. I am so proud of you, I know that whatever you do in life that you will succeed and that I will always be here cheering you on!
But to try to wrap this up somehow, I just need to say that I am proud of my baby sister! its really weird to think she's 18 and is going to graduate in June. We're quite different in many ways, and haven't always gotten along that well, but lately we seem to be getting closer, and I think I like that...
