Sweet Sadies 2011 :)

When a group of people plan a dance a lot more goes into it than you could ever expect. There are hundreds of things to consider. DJ, theme, food, date, cost, decorations, assembly, royalty, the list goes on and on! You are constantly feeling stress to live up to expectations and for every little thing to go as planned. You have to worry about purchase orders and admistration being okay with everything. You have to worry about what money and money and money. But the best part of planning a dance is going into it all out, putting your whole heart and soul into it. Then walking out of that newly cleaned gym and feeling the weight just lift off of your shoulders. Knowing, that you did your absolute best. But it doesn't stop there.. cause then you get told that your dance, the dance you have been planning for months and months and months, was the most attended in ten years. Yah that makes everything you worried about worth it. Completely. Sadies was my baby and I'm sooo proud how it turned out! During leadership conference at Utah State this summer we came up with the theme Sweet Sadies. All of a sudden all these ideas went pouring out. We started to think about chocolate fountains and willy wonka and ballons and sooo much more! Of course we had to figure out how we were going to put all of that into reality. It became bigger than any of us had ever expected. We also had to worry about Juniors Week. It came faster than fast. Lightning fast. But looking back it was one of the funnest weeks I have even had in my life.

I'm kinda a nerd! I love assembly practices and lunchtime activties. I guess I just love being involved :) I also got the honor of being nominated for Junior Royalty! Boy was that unexpected! I was sooo touched that people would actually vote for me. Me! The girl who everyone said was nice and pretty but never really knew. The girl who used to sit in the quiet corner scared to get in front of the class, well that still happens sometimes, but I felt soo good when I saw my name on a couple ballots, but to be on royalty. Well that was a dream come true! Probably the most stressful of anything was the assembly recording. You see, because of our whole high-tech awesome world we do most of our assemblys like a movie. Execpt for when the cheerleaders, falcettes, etc. perform. Soo much easier! We did our assembly all about Willy Wonka. I was Veruka Salt and had to act snobby. If you know me at all you know I am not snobby, and I can't act. It was interesting!

But we still manage to have a fun fun time :)

After days and days of staying after school until seven we finally were done! Well until the day of the assembly. We are total bosses! Lunchtime activities went extremely well! We had..

Peanut Butter Jelly Wars :) where you had to feed someone else a peanut butter jelly sandwhich as fast as you can! got kinda messy.. :)

Doughnut on a string :) and then my least favorite, but most eventful! When the royalty got to get pied in the face..

Me and Syd before..

That was sooo gross! Dont worry I got ben back.. muahaha ;)

Went to fourth period smelling like old spoiled milk... I will never eat whipped cream EVER again. That is a vow I will take! Then it was Friday the big day! Assembly day! I was so proud of this hiliaroius assembly. My mama even came to see it <3 I love her!

I walked down in front of the whole school. Me, Rachael Fresh! I got nominated 1st runner up. Well I tied with the goregous Sydnie Adams! Geeez what a confidence booster! I was soo happy. Seemed like everyone enjoyed it! Well I know I enjoyed being humiliated. Now I can't walk through the halls without hearing "charlie bit mee!" ohh my. I love that :) haha! Now some of the weight was gone. All we had to do was decorate.. all night long! Ohh and in the morning! But we also got to do the guy's makeup at lunch! That was interesting.. :)

When we are all surviving on basically no sleep.. we get kinda crazy! hahaha

Now the fun part! Day date at Lazerzone, ice cream at farrs, dinner at Iggys and then THE DANCE!

I had the best time ever planning this dance! I hope everyone had a great night full of memories! Whats next for me?? Running for SBO.. wish me luck :)
