No Longer 16 going on 17

 Yum!

 I gave a talk on Sunday that I'll post later. My red lipstick from recital stained by lips in random places so I had to just reapply so it was at least even. It didn't end up looking horrible! 
More yummy food from the 'Sunday King Prebirthday Barbecue Feast'
 Lunch at ParkStone



Trying on a 1.2 million dollar wedding ring at O.C. Tanner, just for fun! When he said the price, I got nauseous! haha, I'd be way too scared to wear something that expensive. 
We tried to see Angela's artwork, but the gallery was closed. We peeked in and saw one of her pieces that was inspired by the pictures we took on our trip to Copenhagen! :) Amazing art!!
Alright, so...I love looking at wedding rings and rings in general. We went into a little jewelers on Main Street in Park City. My dad mentioned to the lady that it was my birthday and she said they had a section of amethysts; my birthstone! She let me try one on and I loved it. It's a tricut which has religious significance because of the trinity and it's also said to provide protection. My dad asked the price, and asked "Well do you want it?" I couldn't believe it! Of course I did, but did I really want him to buy me something so nice after everything else he's done? He insisted and after a quick sizing...it was mine! 
The lady was really nice. She was from Sweden and we chatted about our trip to Copenhagen a few months ago. 



My dad bought me a book at Dolley's Bookstore. 
Dinner at Grappa was amazing! We got thee best table and the yummiest food. I got chicken with mashed potatoes, and some greens. My dad got crusted salmon and a zuccini side (the menu described it much better, my description didn't do the flavors justice!) We also got a pita pizza thing for an appetizer. It had lots of fresh veggies and it was the best flatbread I've ever had!! And the bread...oh the bread! :)

My friends are pretty much the greatest!
Truffle dessert! The semisweet chocolate one was the best. That one's not pictured because we ate it on a bench in PC while we waited for the ring to be sized one half size smaller

The book Popular. It was funny and cute and entertaining. I'd been intrigued because it was written by a fifteen-year-old. A great summer read! 
 The morning was spent being Ana teaching a bunch of cute kids about ballet and crafts
 Parkstone salads

 BEST DAD IN THE WORLD!.... and the best flatbread in the world ;)

 The necklace I bought at Charming Charlie's with the giftcard Anna and Sarah got me.

 Absolutely Delish

This song came on on the way to the Ranch. My dad is the Magic Man and the day was as magical as one spent in Paris. Which is saying a lot.


Thanks Mom and Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...

So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)

You need a little chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star ~Friedrich Nietzche Doesn't that quote just give you chills? Since I'm a dance major, it really applied and hit me when I first read it. But really, couldn't it apply to everyone? Everyone needs that inner fire, the unorganized but driven, passionate part of their souls. One of my ballet teachers explains it as a dragon, sleeping below your ribs, ready to be awakened. I love that image because it makes me want to take initiative, to be strong, to let go of fear, and be a little wild. It's exhilarating, and freeing for a girl like me to tap into that more powerful, tenacious part of myself. For me, dancing lights that inner fire. I feel free to express myself and I feel vibrant and strong. Sometimes it's strange to have what used to be my "hobby" and "outlet" be my focus of study and possible career. You have to balance the academic, progressive part of it with the passion an...
