New York New York!

One day we were thinking about travel and vacation. My parents figured it would be crazy not to go to Paris with the apartment my grandparents had and the fact that my dad hadn't been for so long. We started looking up flights and we ended up with 4 tickets to New York. I wasn't sure how we went from France to NYC, but I was so excited to be going!! It was very spur-of-the-moment and actually Freestone will be going to Paris for his 10-year-old trip! So Ruby and I started saving for the trip and thinking about what it would be like. This is Day 1....
The airport

Our flight was a red-eye; leaving at 12 am and arriving at 6 am! The view from the plane was amazing with all the sparkling lights and skyscrapers. We got to our hotel, the Intercontinental and were pleasantly surprised to find they already had the room ready for us.The room was so pretty and the hotel was super nice!

We set our luggage down and headed immediately for the Statue of Liberty. We took a ferry that traveled past it and we took tons of pictures and laughed when it started pouring rain. We got off at Ellis Island and stayed in the museum for awhile. The Statue of Liberty was smaller, but prettier than I expected. It was really cool.

On the ferry!


Cute!

Sisters!

Where immigrants would come to become citizens

 Then we went to the hotel and took a nap. I obviously really needed one:)

After our power nap we headed to Junoon to dine for restaurant week. They had Indian food and it was delicious but spicy!
We saw Juilliard!

Times Square! :)

My first Broadway show!
We were lucky enough to get to see Mary Poppins on Broadway! It was amazing! The costumes, actors, choreography, everything! In the scene where they go to the park and Bert's drawings come alive, the statues in the park start dancing and talking. It was funny and they were amazing dancers! My favorite song was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! The costumes were super bright and happy and the dancing was so fun and it's such a feel-good song! :) I LOVED it!

What a fabulous first day!:)

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...

Why I Am Choosing To Serve A Mission

Although this is very difficult to articulate, dare I even say impossible, I am going to try! I am choosing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I will serve for eighteen months. I do not choose where I spend those eighteen months, or even in what language I will speak during that time. I will take a break from school, from my dancing and leave my family. It is a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make because I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me so that I can repent, learn to love fully, and become like him. To become better and to learn during my lifetime. I know that he died for every one . I know that he knows each of us, individually, and wants us to be happy. Heavenly Father also loves and knows each of us. He has guided and directed me numerous times, in ways that cannot be explained without fully recognizing His divine hand. The relationships, experiences, trials, and blessings I ...

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...
