Lagoon Day

Yesterday was the best Lagoon Day ever! The weather was perfect, the lines were short, and I ate a lot of chocolate chews!
Tizzy was so cute and I took Tolly on his first "roller coaster." It's called Bombora and his face on it was priceless. Going up the hill you could tell he was nervous. After following uncle Ryan's suggestion to put his hands up, the G-force knocked his head down to the side and he clenched his jaw with his eyes wide. He liked it though and told dad "It was fast and scary and slow at the same time!" :)
 
Ice cream at Pioneer Village was fun. Jennie and my mom now have techniques for getting the biggest scoops. I got mint chocolate chip and tried some Rocky Road, Almond, and Cheesecake.
After my dad used Tolly as a shield from the water on Rattle Snake Rapids, I didn't really trust him to go on any big rides with, but I forced myself to do it:) We went on the Spider, then Wicked! It was my second time on Wicked and I opened my eyes for some of it this time:) It was actually really fun!
My mom and I went on Air Race in which her sun glasses almost flew off and she inhaled a bug!
After being forced out of Lagoon by some nice security guards:) my mom took Ari, Free and Tolly to Cherry Hill only to find out it was closed, then going to Oakridge for a 2 minute dip. My mom is so awesome!!
 
Tizzy really did have a great time! Her and Jersey thought they were just too sophisticated for the seatbelts! ;)

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! :)

You need a little chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star ~Friedrich Nietzche Doesn't that quote just give you chills? Since I'm a dance major, it really applied and hit me when I first read it. But really, couldn't it apply to everyone? Everyone needs that inner fire, the unorganized but driven, passionate part of their souls. One of my ballet teachers explains it as a dragon, sleeping below your ribs, ready to be awakened. I love that image because it makes me want to take initiative, to be strong, to let go of fear, and be a little wild. It's exhilarating, and freeing for a girl like me to tap into that more powerful, tenacious part of myself. For me, dancing lights that inner fire. I feel free to express myself and I feel vibrant and strong. Sometimes it's strange to have what used to be my "hobby" and "outlet" be my focus of study and possible career. You have to balance the academic, progressive part of it with the passion an...
