Nutcracker was amazing. I loved being Snow. There's something so special about Nutcracker. The mood, practice, anticipation, rehearsal, excitement, costumes, dancing, lights, makeup, laughter, smiles, music, being onstage! It's basically the meaning of fun. It is so sad to see the Seniors dance their last year. I can't believe the year after next that will be me! We had some pretty funny moments let me tell ya.
~"Oh here comes a little hairnet!" -Ashley
~"Ya we're all secretly hoping he falls on his face." -Emma
~"My body is like a pear. It's pear-shaped"-Zoey
~"Hey fattie!" -Me and Emma
~"If I'm not married by the time I'm 21 I'll die." -Abby V
~"Oh honey I am THEE diva!" ~Abby V
Note: Some of these quotes sound mean or weird out of context but they weren't, they were funny :)

My favorite part was the Snow praying together every performance before we went onstage. We'd link pinkies in a circle and pointed one foot in and a Senior would say it.
I also loved the costumes and headpiece. It was so fun to wear. My other favorite part is being onstage in the front in the '2 big circles part' when the snow is falling on you and the lights are shining on you and people are looking at you and you get to do your favorite thing in the world. I love being onstage.
My other favorite part is waiting and getting ready in the dressing room. Clytie Su takes the whole first act to perfect her top and bottom lashes, and everything else. She's a pro at makeup. I was so glad to be by Emma K in the dressing room. She is a little fellow ginger and a funny, beautiful firecracker. She also gets the magic of Nutcracker. She's always saying "It's so magic!"
Rachel was Mouse King this year and of course did awesome! Ashley was Snow with me and we were the only 3 from Melissa's class in it this year! Rachel really wants to be Spanish next year, Ashley wants to be Reed Flute and my dream is to be Doll. We promised each other each ballet class we'd remind each other of that and to keep working hard so we can be those parts. I would love to be Doll!
Christmas is coming and I'm so excited the spirit is so wonderful and wouldn't be the same without Nutcracker!

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...
