Recital week has been so much fun! My dances were... ballet; Virgo, modern; Shadows, jazz; Night Sky. All my teachers were amazing and I'm so blessed to go to such a great ballet school. I love it! Recital week wouldn't be recital week without a party in the back of the minivan with Lexie having a laughing fit. After the dress rehearsal we rocked out to Sweet Caroline, Lucky I'm in Love, Party in the USA, and Everybody Talks. (After going to an Italian Ice and frozen custard place) Lexie, Ruby, Esmae, Charlie, Ari, and Xanthe did so well in the recital. Lex and Rubes have gotten so good en pointe and always look gorgeous on stage. And thanks everyone who came to see us!
We find out what class we're in on Monday, and I'm super nervous, but I'm just trying to focus on my Birthday today! What's better than 2 performances on your Birthday?!   
Here's to the last performance! Hope it goes well!

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...

Places

California is warm, humid. It is cool mornings of dolphins emerging from salt water, and surfers catching the dusty turquoise waves. Montana is earthy, wild. It is shy deer, proud bears, and lazy buffalo. It is walking around in cowgirl boots to town, and riding horses through dry grass. San Fransisco is bold, fun. It is the golden gate bridge spanning your imagination and adventure. It is China Town; red, gold, jade. Paris is rich, beautiful. It is modern galleries, and centuries old cathedrals. It is walking, crepe in hand, to a new place that hundreds of years ago, a King walked too.It is watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle like a new constellation that was made just for you. Idaho is comfortable, familiar. It is sitting by your cousin roasting marsh mellows and listening to the river and the crickets.  Utah is different, scenic. It is hot summers, and snowy winters. It is looking at a pink smear of sky, glowing like a constant candle behind navy and ivory mountains. It is ho...

On the seventh day of Christmas

December gave to me....early out from school! Davis made their goal of getting $6,500 in 5 minutes during our "Dash for Cash" and earned a 'Christmas Officer Talent Show Assembly'. Otherwise known as 'Go Home After Four Shortened Class Periods.' So we got out at about 11:45 and Emily, Amy, Ruby, Emily M and I went to Fiiz and Bowman's to get stuff for friend gifts. I got some Lindt truffles. We went to Emily's for lunch, then Emily and I went to Farmington Station for a successful holiday shopping trip. Then we went and got her little sisters; Christina and Ellie, and I got Ptolemy and we went to Alexander's Bad Day at Kaysville Theatre. My mom ended up going too and taking Xanthe and Tizzy, who we hadn't had room for in Emily's car. It was such a cute movie! Then I took Ari and her best friend Ellison to Yogotogo. They're such cute girls. It's funny to hear their Junior High stories/experiences/slang. Oh those good ole' awkw...
