Today my mom, Ruby and I went to the Salt Lake temple to do baptisms. If you are endowed, you have to bring family names to do baptisms so my mom just came and watched us. It was so pretty inside and I loved the huge paintings and it's so neat that it took 40 years to build this temple and that the pioneers sacrificed so much for it. I loved the handles, they were carved with intricate designs and had a beehive on the handle with the words Holiness to the Lord. It was so calm and spiritual! One of the names I did a confirmation for even had my same birthday and her name was Elisabetha Something.
My mom even has her engagement ring box in her temple bag that she showed me. It's square and black with a golden bang along where it opens. I love my mom's ring and the box!
After baptisms we went to a Vietnamese place and got the sandwiches my mom is obsessed with. They were not my cup of tea. I had pizza instead, still good:)
Yesterday I had some friends over for a fun girls' night. We watched Elf, had pizza, gingerbread cookies, and talked a lot. Elf is so funny! I'm so excited for Christmas!
Xanth also had a last minute party with lots of her adorable Chinese friends. Cute!
Even cuter! :)

I love my lights and ornaments!

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 ...

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! :)

Senior Flute Recital

*(I'm catching up)* November 21st Another rite of passage as my mom would say! Senior Flute recital! I had probably been practicing and preparing the repertoire for almost two years, not to mention the 8 years before that which allowed me to get to the level required to play the pieces. Cindy told me a Senior Recital wasn't required, but encouraged. It was good practice for auditions, stress and pressure management :) ;) and it was a good motivator to practice. I'm so glad I did it, even if it did seem overwhelming at times. I really started to love the flute during the months leading up to the recital. It was exciting to have something to work for and know that soon I could show what I'd been doing for so many years. I worked hard, but wasn't always the most dedicated student. Priorities often put flute behind school and ballet. Dance is my true passion and has been for so many years, but music has helped with dance and I'm thankful for the balance fl...
