4th of July!

The day started at 6:30 am. I was due at DHS at 7:30 to go to the Centerville parade. We all got in one of the 5 buses and were off! In true Davis Marching Band style, we were always on time or early. After the Centerville parade, we got a water bottle and a granola bar and headed to Kaysville. I had a nap on the bus ride:) The Kaysville Parade was a tad longer and hotter, but I was pleasantly surprised that both parades were shorter than I expected. It was fun (and hot) to march in the parades and sure gave me a taste of what the Rose Parade will be like. These parades were barely 2 1/2 miles long; the Rose Parade is 7 1/2! The crowds were awesome, and even though I couldn't see most of the people that cheered me on, I heard you guys! Thanks!:)

Tizzy's first 4th!

Lexie was in the Kaysville parade too, obviously as a Cheerleader:) And the Ry & Jen Dopps and Kings came over for a quick Doppwagon breakfast

Very cute and patriotic bunch!
Awww!

Even the Centerville people who are in the Viewmont boundaries cheered when we went by.
After the parades I was pretty tired and dehydrated. I made it for the end of the Kaysville parade and drank a few bottles of water. Xanthe even gave me a piece of taffy! :)
After we made it home with most of our blankets, candy, and squirt bottles, the Bazails came over! They live in Miami and have been traveling Europe (Italy this time). Alex and Lincoln are so cute and have gotten so big! Tricia and Jim came over too. Sara and Rolland looked great and very tan! It was so good to see them all!:)


Then we went over to the Dopp grandparents for a fun barbeque. It was delish! The kids played in the hot tub and kiddie pool. It was so fun!





4th of July wouldn't be the 4th of July without fireworks! I invited some friends to come watch 'em too, so I got to sit by family and friends. Best of both worlds! :)
Josh and Bill, showing his cool Nike jacket his friend made him. His initials are on the back:)


The fireworks were awesome and I'm pretty sure there weren't any major fires due to them:)
Such a fun, filled day! Happy 4th!

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

At The Car Wash

Registering my car has been quite the ordeal. I have class until 5 every day and rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday, so finding a time has not been easy. One of my rehearsals was canceled today, so I drove to an auto-mechanic to update my registration. I knew I could get Safety and Emissions done, but thought they could also register my car. Nope! I have to go to the DMV. Then my car was failed, not because of the fact that the rear-view mirror is cracked (I bumped it in my apartment garage on a pillar-not my finest moment) but because there is a smaller circular mirror in the corner of it. It seemed like a tiny adjustment to me and couldn't believe they couldn't repair it right then at the mechanic! But it's fine-plus the owner gave me a free car-wash! Not just any car wash, "The BEST Carwash". It was $9. So I pull into the car-wash and jets start spraying all over and I can't see through the window from all the soapy water. And I'm like this is so cool! I ...

Celebrating, Italia style

My awesome mom took me to Settebello's tonight to celebrate my 4.0! It is an Italian pizza place in Station Park. It's the real deal. Italian pizza! It was first time going and we got two pizzas; all the toppings included roasted pine nuts, sausage, olives and artichoke hearts and mushrooms. YUM! I also had to get gelatto there. I've been craving it for so long and the ultra fresh raspberry and the hazelnut/chocolate flavors hit the spot. It was so cozy in there with delicious food and the pretty snow outside. Such a fun night talking to my mom about whatever and celebrating all the work that went into my first term of High School. Thanks mom!
