Freestone's Party!





Ruby, Ari and I all had our 8th birthdays at the Lion House. I think it was my favorite Birthday party ever! I want to work there when I'm older, way older:). It is in Brigham Young's past house. The hostess tells pioneer stories; how the house came to be and other fun stuff. Did you know he had 56 kids?! No wonder the house is so big. We played Button, Button Who Has The Button? And ate little sandwiches, lemonade, pretzels and carrots and cake and ice cream of course! I love the cake, it is so yummy. The chef hides 1 gum ball in the cake and whoever finds it in their slice of cake gets a whole year of good luck! This time Tanner got it. Henry, Chase, Tanner, Jake, Ari, Ruby, mom, dad, me, Jackson and Collin and obviously Freestone came. The boys got to wear coonskin hats with real raccoon tails and the girls wore pioneer bonnets. Free got some cool gifts and he loved being the leader where ever we went. The boys had lots of fun, especially when we got to pull taffy! They all went home with a little bag of their taffy, a gingerbread/sugar cookie and a lion house bib. Brigham Young wore a bib type thing over his beard because he had a dream he was in such a hurry one morning, he gave a whole talk at church with crumbs in his beard, and the whole congregation was laughing. The boys thought that was pretty funny. Happy Birthday Free! Love ya!

Good News

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...
