Depending on how tired I am, these captions may or may not be very detailed. I think I'll drop in about an hour or so.
These are from Wednesday. The bus ride and Opening Ceremonies. So here they are.
IMAGE HEAVY. For serious.
Part One
On ze Bus
My first picture last year was like this, and also had Jada in the middle. It was just a coincidence.
I began sewing my dress on the bus. I'm pretty sure it took the wole ride to hem the two inside layers. It turned out really well...
...except for this part, when I sewed my finger to the dress. It didn't hurt. It never really does whenever I accidentally do it.
The best picture of Cristal ever.
Steph and Cody.
I don't know why our tongues were out. I think we thought it was really cool.
T.J.
Lakyn and T.J.
More of T.J.
Lakyn and I looking pretty hip.
"It does not MATTA!"
A good picture of Tim.
I was trying to get a picture of Jada and Ian facing the bus. This is after we were registered.

Rachel looking happy.
I think we had about three hours to get ready. Rachel's hair (coming up) is courtesy of me, which is kind of funny because I can't do my OWN hair.
I'm drinking a bottle of white grape juice, and that is my leg...with my nasty Godspell bruise.
Sarah, who looks a lot like Brittany Morgan in this photo.
Sheila
Rachel looking really awesome.
Sheila and I being Russian together.
Group picture. Yay for self timers!
On the way to the bus: Jada and Taylor's hair blowing in the wind.
Cristal and I
Closing Ceremonies
It's always nice to go to Tampa, walk in Morsani, sit down, and hear Michael J. Higgins say "Welcome home." That man is amazing. We sat in a balcony for opening and saw really great performances.
T.J. with my sunglasses.
A Margaret and Nate beacon.

Sheila and I fighting each other with our shoes: the same make and brand from Payless.
50's housewife. We went back to the hotel and I made Ramen for dinner. Mmm.
