Christmas Around the World

I feel like whenever I have a performance and I only tell people about it, not posting anything on the blog or on Facebook, people get mad that I didn't publicize it enough and that is the reason they didn't come. Yet, when I do put information everywhere and talk about it all the time, no one ever comes.

So, if you are wanting to go to Christmas Around the World, please let me know so I don't miss you the night you come. I would really like to see some family there since I rarely get that. It would mean a lot to me and I know you would enjoy the show.

Please get your tickets now, and say that you are getting them from Back-up. We need all the help we can get.

Roller Coasters Anyone?

Roller coaster of my life.

I went from having a boyfriend to not dating him anymore to, a week later, dating him again. Gabe and I are dating again as of Wednesday and I am so happy. It was very sweet how things came about between the two of us.

On Wednesday, I also found out that... drum roll please..... I MADE SPAC!!!! Ah! I am so excited! It is going to be a blast!

Last night I found out that Ammon was in the hospital, thankfully he is home now. I have been worried sick about him all day.

It has been a roller coaster week, but it has been a good week. I hope you all have had a great one too!

Happy Holidays! 

6 days until Thanksgiving/My Birthday (20)!

Let the countdown BEGIN!

Or continue... It isn't like I have been counting down for the past month or anything because that would be ridiculous.

In any case, it is the best time of the year. For one reason, MY BIRTHDAY! For another, Thanksgiving! And last, Christmas music and some snow. I love November. It is the best month.

And now for some things on my mind...

Last night I had the opportunity to go to the Young Ambassador's show Harmony. I didn't know what it was going to be like, even though it is the same show they had last year. The show is all about finding harmony in the family, how music plays a part of it, and how to cherish those you love. It was very powerful. It was adorable. Gabe did such a great job! He is a fantastic dancer. I made sure to tell him that I never wanted to hear him say otherwise ever again. He was by far one of the best guy dancers, and even better than a good number of the girls. He has a natural way of moving. He is a natural dancer. The show overall was fantastic!

On Wednesday I auditioned for the Spring Performing Arts Company, or SPAC. It is the winter/spring folk team, that is almost identical to Back-Up, but they go on an in state tour to the elementary schools. I will find out if I make it in a few weeks. I am excited to know. I am thinking that I will probably audition for Young Ambassadors this year. I will also be trying out for PAC, the top performing company in the folk dance world, and if I get on PAC then I will do PAC regardless if I make Young Ambassadors. PAC is what I want so I will be working very hard to get on. I love the atmosphere that the folk dance community at BYU has to offer and I want to contribute to that.

This week I had an injury come upon me. I have a build up of scar tissue in my right foot and it has been causing some problems for me this week. Also, my tendinitis has been acting up.

I want to go to the temple this coming week. I want to go do baptisms at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.

I need to sell my contract.

Countdown: 19 days.

Ballet Midterm

I just had my DANCE 291 (Ballet) midterm yesterday. I never thought that I was a ballerina or even remotely looked like one. We had our midterm this week and we filmed it. This is a clip of the center adage we did. I actually think I did quite well on it. There is a lot that I need to work on but over all, I am very pleased and think that I actually could be one and look like one. Enjoy. :)

Now if only I could look like this....

In honor of the new look

In my attempt to load more pictures onto my blog I changed the look. It looks just like pintrest! hahaha
So in honor of the new look, here is a picture of what I want to make sometime soon.

Don't they just look so good? I know they do. Now stop drooling on your computer and get back to what you were doing before you got distracted by this amazing blog of mine.

An average night

I kind of have an addiction to Facebook and Pintrest. My friend Evan made a bet with me tonight to not get on Facebook for a whole week starting on Monday. I will be doing that. It will be a mess after a whole week of not going on the Book of Face but I say bring it on. I need the $5 and if I am successful in not getting on Facebook for a whole week then I will gain that amount of money from Evan.

Tonight Kayla and I made Junior Mints. They are really good, not hard to make, and filled with so much powder sugar. I got the recipe from Pintrest.com. The recipe came from zuppas.com. They turned out good but they look super weird because we had the hardest time trying to figure out how to actually get them covered in chocolate. 

Here is a horrid picture of them. You wish you had them though. :)

Tomorrow I will be singing at a farewell for my friend Rachel Kimball. It is a beautiful arrangement of How Great Thou Art. It is actually arranged by S. Gordon Jessop... Mom's old band teacher. I will give more info about it when I get back. I hope I can sing though after being sick all week and the AMAZING football game. Cody Hoffman. Thank you for rushing all 93 yards on a kick return to make a touchdown. It was an amazing play. Way to go MVP of the whole game.

So ready for conference by the way. This will be a good week. Excited for a letter in a few days. :)

Secrets of World of Dance

While the girls of PAC were performing their part of the Slovakian number during World of
Dance, the boys thought that they could do it. Well, that they did. They did it, and pretty well I must say.
