| This is my BFF Hannah. Her clothes match my blog. |
We arived at the Junior High with a whole team of last years students. The dedicated students that brought me mounds of joy last year. I haven’t talked to most of the people on this team in a while, but as soon as we walked through those doors as almni, it was as we never left. Still family, but as teaschers this time.
Hannah and I got there first, and as we were waiting a couple of friends walked in that we hadn’t seen in a while. Well, of course we ran as fast as we could so that we could exchange hugs. Well as I was runing in my cowboy boots I rolled my ankle. Hard. I lymped over to them and exchanged hugs. I shook off the pain. Maybe it was the fact that I was so excited to see them, or that I was so excited to relive the memories of Dinner Theatre, or the fact that I am a gymnast and I am used to shaking off pain, but none the less I shook it off and acted like it was all good and dandy. And it was! Well…kinda… helping was a blast today. I remember the feeling of stress at this point in time last year, and all the help the high school students were to help me get ready to perform. Today we were the ones who got to be the directores and we were the ones to help the students fix their scenes. It was fun. I even performed my scene for everybody and I can’t even tell you how good that felt!
After that we made ginger bread houses {actually we made hotglued-grahm-cracker-houses} It’s a tradition with our family, and the Daniels family. We tried real ginger bread one year, but with 9 kids, grahm crackers are the way to go. We built some funky houses this year! It was fun.
Well, here I am in my bed icing my swolen ankle. Yippe! Probubly sprained.
So I had a request by the girl in the picture above to do a post disecting a song that is very dear to us as a theatre class so here it is!
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives would never be the same
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
Long live the walls we crashed through
While the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered
I said, remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, this is absurd
‘Cause for a moment a band of thieves
In ripped-up jeans got to rule the world
While the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I’m not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming, long live the look on your face
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
And you take a moment
Promise me this
That you’ll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you
While the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I’m not afraid
Singing, long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered
