Freestone's Baptism









This was such a special day! Freestone got to be baptized with Jake and Collin (his cousins) on the same day! They are all such good friends and I'm proud of all of them for their decision to be baptized. The Holy Ghost is such a blessing in my life, and I know it will be in theirs too. Since Michelle and Jake are living with us at the moment, I've shared a room with Freestone. It's been great to bond together more. I read scriptures with him almost every night and tried to talk to him about baptism. The conversations weren't always successful with Free's big imagination, talkativeness, and how easily he's distracted. But when he could be serious:), he impressed me with his testimony and knowledge.
The boys each chose their favorite color for the color scheme of the baptism. It ended up being surprisingly coordinated and cute together:) Lime green-Collin, purple-Jake, and bright red-Freestone.
Lexie and Ruby gave talks, Grandma Dopp and Gus gave prayers, the Grandpas were witnesses, Grandpa Dopp conducted, and I played John the Baptist on the flute with Lex, Ruby, and Ari. There was even an adorable slideshow of the boys we watched while they got dressed. Ryan baptized and confirmed Coll and Jake and my dad baptized/confirmed Freestone. It was very spiritual and turned out perfectly. I loved the tissue paper with the theme colors, the balloons, and the beach buckets on the tables. Congrats Freestone, Collin, and Jacob! I hope Freestone remembers this awesome day forever! I love you Free!

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Help!

Since I'm making the important college decision in a few months, give me some advice! What was your favorite part of your college experience? Do you feel the one you attended was the best choice? Did you stick to the major you went in declaring? If you lived in a dorm, how was it? Thanks!

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...
