London 2012

 
The Olympics have been great this year and I love how it was in London. We missed the Opening Ceremonies on our trip, but maybe I'll watch them on youtube sometime:)
My favorite thing to watch is Girls' Gymnastics. We had a really good team this year which people are calling the Fab Five or the Fierce Five. Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney make up the team. I wasn't a fan of McKayla because when she didn't win gold on the vault, she wasn't a good sport about it. Jordyn was the favorite to win gold and when she didn't make the finals, she cheered on her teammates who did and was super nice. I also liked Gabby, she's so strong and you could tell she was excited to be there.
I also like watching Swimming. I'm sad Michael Phelps is retiring but it was neat to see him win gold in his last Olympic swim. I can't believe he's won 22 medals, 18 of them gold! Missy Franklin also did great winning 3 gold medals and breaking a world record and she's only 17!
The Olympics are amazing to watch. Humans are capable of so much and it's awesome to see people who are so dedicated and willing to work hard represent their countries. My favorite part is that the whole world comes together. Even though we've had war against each other and our culture, history, and appearance is different, we can all watch our athletes compete and celebrate their achievement.
Go team USA!

So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...

Happy New Year!

2014 will be a great year! It's 1:46 am right now so I will blog more tomorrow but I just can't believe it's January and the start of another brand new year! Yay for 2k14!!! On New Years Eve I went to a friends house to party! We watched Back to the Future and had treats, played games, and talked. We counted down, watched the ball drop, made fun of Miley Cyrus. There were a lot of people so it was really fun. On New Years Day we visited Nana, saw Frozen, went to Coco's and dad, mom and Ruby and I went to dinner. I'd been wanting to go to Rio Grande for awhile so we drove up to SLC. When we got there it was closed! So, change of plans, we went to Royal India in Bountiful instead. I'm so glad we did!! I love Indian food and it was delicious!! We got garlic, regular and a sweet naan and lamb sagg, coconut chicken and butter chicken and a mango lasse! Heaven. It was fun to just spend time with my parents and Ruby. They are really good about taking time to give u...
