Now that I've gotten my complaints about school out of the way, I can blog about happy things. Yesterday to celebrate the half-way mark through our Sophomore year (wow that's wierd)! My friends VaNeta, Crystal and Tori came over to eat pizza, watch Bridge to Terrabithia, and laugh and talk. My parents, like you didn't know already, are the coolest parents ever. My mom loves to have parties and knows exactly what to do with teenagers; give them yummy food, let them know you're there, and then leave them alone:) Crystal cried the most during the movie which was awesome for me because I'm usually the best crier:) We were all kind of emotional with sleep deprivation, stress, and relief with the end of term, so it was good to have a good cry:) We laughed a lot and told lame jokes after it was 11 pm and we all wanted to keep partying, but we were so darn tired! Today, I will go to ballet; tonight, we'll go to the regional dance; tomorrow I'll have 9 am ward choir, church and a Presidency meeting, Monday and Tuesday I will put on a drama camp and Wednesday I have a Symphony performance. Oh and I'm giving a talk in sacrament meeting and I'm the new Mia Maid President and oh yeah, we have Ruby's Birthday party. Life never stops, but I'm glad because that's what makes it exciting!

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...
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 ...

Italia

Ciao! We are in Italy! We woke up at four and went to the airport. We cut it close, which means we just didn't have two hours to waste in the terminal;) the flight was so short! Luckily everything with our bags worked out which had been a little worrying since we took EasyJet. We arrived at the Argenti's and almost immediately left to take a train to Venice. Another American family is here staying nearby who are friends so they also came to Venice. It was weird to speak English to someone besides Ruby! Venice was amazing! It's so pretty and colorful. It was very hot and kind of crowded so we didn't stay in touristy parts the whole time. The water is turquoise and the buildings are intricate and charming. It's kind of like Paris but sassy. If that makes sense. We got yummy pizza and gelato. I told the dad my and Ruby 's order for gelato and he thought it was just mine. So I got two scoops! So much ice cream! Italian is so beautiful and basically a combination of...
