In the life of Paige...: April 2012

Yeah, yeah, I know it has been about 7 months. I don't even know where to start!
September: Well, after my birthday, I got my license and I took over mom's Buick, which is now my car :) My birthday present was a room makeover!

Before...

After!

October: Besides the fair, crowning in the pageant, and Halloween, October wasn't very busy. Here are just a few pics:

Kylon was in the Womanless Beauty Pageant at school...This disturbs me, but he won prettiest face!

November marked mine and Kylon's 3 year anniversary. I know that God has placed each of us in each other's lives for a specific purpose, and I have no complaints! He treats me like a girl should be treated, and that is hard to find these days! I love him, and I couldn't be happier.

December: Ahh, Christmas time! December is by far my favorite month, but also my busiest! With all of the regular Christmas activities, I also had Dinner Theater (which is a huge fundraiser that show choir does every December) and our youth went to Winter Extreme in TN!

I love these girls! I am blessed with so many amazing friends!

Nothing like hands raised worshipping Jesus!

My beautiful mother and me at Dinner Theater!

Yeah, yeah. My boyfriend spoils me just a little bit..

All bundled up in downtown Gatlinburg on New Years Eve!

February: For Valentine's Day, Kylon planned a special date for us! :) He wouldn't tell me ANYTHING about what we were doing, and it was driving me crazy! My friends said I would love it, and I sure did! When I woke up and got dressed (which is hard to do appropriately when you have no clue where you're going or what you're doing) I got in my car with no idea where to go. He told me to check my mailbox, where I found a rose with a note tied to it. I soon discovered that I was on an intense scavenger hunt around Ellisville. It was so much fun! He sent me with "clues" to places that were special to us or places that we liked to go together, and at each place I would find a new rose with a new clue. After I found the last rose, I was instructed to meet him in Hattiesburg at my favorite resturant, which is obviously Tabella. We ate lunch and spent the day together! I couldn't have asked for anything more thoughtful or special! Honestly, I was impressed that he did it all on his own! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures!
February 21 was Kaylie's birthday, so a few of us went out to Mi Casita to celebrate :)

Love these girls :)

March: Well, March was very busy, but the main event was my trip to FAME ORLANDO with South Jones Company! The trip was a lot of fun; I always enjoy time with my friends and my show choir family. We went to Universal Studios, where we not only had a BLAST at the theme parks, but we also competed at the Hard Rock Live in the Fame Competition series for regionals. We placed First Runner Up, with VERY close scores! We were all very excited, because... this meant that we were advancing to the Nationals competition in CHICAGO! We are so very blessed with an awesome director and great parents that helped get us where we are and mold us to who we are now.
We leave for Chicago next Wednesday and compete Saturday (April 21).

Sophomores with the trophy!

At Harry Potter World! (it had been raining)

Cassidy won Most Beautiful in her school pageant! I was one proud BFF :)

Recently/April: As you can tell, the last few months have been so very hectic. I can't believe the school year is almost over!
Easter was last week, and as always, I was reminded of the amazing sacrifice that my Savior made for me on the cross over 2,000 years ago. You know, as I sit here and recall all of the things that have been going on lately that have kept me so busy, I realize that I don't stop what I am doing often enough to thank the One who gave me life- the one who makes all that I do possible. I am blessed beyond words, and God deserves every bit of me. Easter shouldn't be the only time that we remind ourselves of the amazing, unthinkable things that Jesus went through and suffered for us all. I am challenging myself in all of this busy/craziness to take the time that God rightfully deserves to thank him and use more time to do his works. After all, that is our sole purpose as Christians for being on this Earth. I hope everyone had a great Easter and continue to have a great Spring! Here are a few more pictures:
