an epic week!!! *yawn*

Have you ever tried living with your good friends for an entire week? You might want to try it sometime--it helps you get to know them a lot better:) (That was an understatement.)

Our homeschool teen drama group was working on the production Sleeping Beauty this past week. (See a trailer of it here.) We'd wake up early, drive to rehearsals, play games, eat, sleep, practice lines and choreography, tell jokes, make up silly songs, (repeat process) and stay up till midnight for 6 days in a row. Hopefully that's sufficient enough to explain why I haven't written a blog post recently:)

But all of that work paid off. Our 3 weekend performances were extremely successful with audiences of over 200 people, and reports that they were highly enjoyable, professional, and most of all FUN!!!

So back to the part about living with your friends.....
Needless to say, a lot of goofy things can go on when this happens. Like washing your hair under the sink faucet, throwing around the purple monkey, busting random dance moves, writing notes to eachother, glueing on fake moustaches, drinking as much caffeine as possible, and hacking into eachother's cell phones/laptops. (Oh! and going to buy pizza in full costume with stage makeup on...)

The point of this (random) blog post is to say thank you to all of my friends that went through this awesomeness with me!!! I had a BLAST!! doing this with all of you!!
I also want to thank my parents and other adults that worked extremely hard to make our production possible. --It couldn't have happened without them.

Now I have to slip back into reality and start working again, but fortunately I have countless memories to buoy me until..... NEXT TIME!!

(Here is me in my crazy costume..... I loved wearing it.)


 
And here is (mostly) everybody on stage at one of the practices:
