It's Kortney Official!!! I started beauty school! I'm working to get my esthetics license so I can be certified to give facials, skin treatments, waxing services, eyebrow and lash tinting, eyelash extensions and makeup! I'm sooooo excited. I can still give services as a student and I'll let you guys know what my prices are on here later. Love ya! -Kortney "I see myself as sexy.

I cannot believe it!!!!!! My baby girl is already halfway there! She is 6 months! This can't be happening! This time last year I was pregnant and eating everything in the kitchen and complaining how hot it was. And it seems like just yesterday I was on here blogging about how I couldn't wait to see her and how swollen my feet were. Time goes by so fast. I still can't believe how fast she is growing :'( Happy 6 months Gabriella! Oh yea and happy half birthday my sweet girl! Haha ;) Speaking of half birthday... It's time for me to start thinking about her first birthday party! You guys know I'm too festive for my own good. Lol. I definitely have some great ideas in mind. I was thinking maybe a circus theme! ;) You'll just have to wait and see what comes out of my sleeve ;) -Kortney "Believe you can and you're halfway there." ~ Unknown 

I cannot believe it happened. I'm done.Officially done. My day started off with rehearsal. I have no idea why they would do something so stupid as to put the rehearsal on the day of -__- But hey that's my school for you. We were so excited that it was finally happening. This is it. Like Michael Jackson, this is it. After today our lives will never be the same. My aunt Ashley was crying the entire time while I was getting ready. She has seen me grow up and has been there since I was born. So of course this was an emotional time for her. Unfortunately due to the stupidity of my school having our rehearsal 3 hours before, I was rushed and my entire pre-graduation vision was ruined. -___- Dummies. Lol oh well. We all rushed to get ready and I passed out everyone their tickets so they could get in. We sped back to downtown Dallas which was a good 30 mins away and we laughed at how ridiculous schools were making a big deal out of everyone MUST have a ticket to get in. The entire...

Most students don't care too much for Baccalaureate only because not all are really and truly about religion. To me, Baccalaureate is about people coming to speak to high school students about life and how to succeed, which is kinda pointless because we've been hearing that for 12 years throughout our entire school life, and its a chance for family members who cannot attend graduation get to see you in your cap and gown. But I still honored the moment and took it seriously. Though I was a so late, that I almost missed the entrance, I was sweaty, hair was puffed, and my heels were about to break, I ran to Armoni who had already saved a spot for me in line ;) I love my friend. Our speaker was a Jewish man who is also a radio host in New York City. He told us great personal stories and left us with some awesome advice... Don't be a dick! The speeches seemed long but it really went by fast. After it was all over, we preceded into the reception area where we had nachos and de...

It was a very short day. Very dead day. You can tell that the school was missing a heartbeat. A certain kind of energy running through the halls and the classrooms. Very quiet. We came to school to pic up our cap and gowns and tickets. Then we just left. But before I left, I had a mini moment haha. I sat in the middle of the foyer and yelled I am done! Lol my friends were doing it with me. This very foyer I walked in when I was an 8th grade hopeful just trying to make it in and here I was now, walking out and saying my last goodbyes to the school that I have forever called home. It was a bittersweet day for all of us. We are done. Officially. Last time in these halls. (Awesome quote!)

So today was our last day. Not officially but it was our last class day ever. It was amazing. We would never have to see a high school classroom ever again. It's tradition at my school that we have "Senior Scream" where we go out into the school's foyer 10 mins before school lets out and we just scream our class number, hold up signs, yell, go crazy, and just bask in the moment that this would be our last time we hear that bell. It was soooooo much fun. We threw "gold dust" (Gold glitter. Because our class song is "Gold Dust" by DJ Fresh dubstep remix), shook tambourines, threw streamers and silly string, had some drums going from the musicians, and just yelled so much because we were done! (Video will be uploaded) After all that awesomeness, it was time for the Senior Awards. First we broke up into our cluster awards. Dance cluster had ours in the studios (of course) and we had BBQ for dinner. Ms Weiss had our baby pictures as centerpieces. It ...

It doesn't even seem like its been 5 months. It seems just so much more shorter than that. :( My baby girl is growing up so fast. OMG..... Just realized next month, she will be halfway to 1 year. 0__0 Can't you tell the difference from 1 month old to now?!  Please stay my little baby! -Kortney "What you allow is what will continue." ~ Unknown
