Oregon Trail Qualifier Picture Post

So, last weekend, I competed in the NCFCA Oregon Trail Qualifier--a speech and debate tournament. Omygoodness!! Was it amazing! Oh yeah! And so many of you made it even better! Together, alot of us qualified for regionals (myself in biographical narrative and persuasive!)!!! I thought it would be fun to post some pics of the weekend...so...here's to our Rainmaker craziness!! :P

SOBE!!

Sparkling cider late at night with friends :)

"I think I broke a nail..." Nice, Luke!

Popcorn late at night

Friends debating friends. So Bittersweet to watch.



This is what keeps me awake to time debate rounds in between my speech rounds. :P



Katie and I with our switched nametags--I have decided that she is my adopted little sister. :)




Amy and I -- Friends Forever!

We're crazy like that--and we're matching! Coincidence? I think not!
