Sophomore Year

Sophomore year has been a great one. My first year in High School. My first year at DHS!
I've really gotten to love this school and I'm grateful I get to go to such a great school and one so many of my family went to as well.

Some of my favorite memories from this year are...
~Performing in the Rose Parade!
~Making Dance Company
~Going to Disney Land with the band
~Watching Tori yodel in front of the whole school during lunch
~Going to IB with the family during Spring Break
~Planning/finding out about our crazy "preposterous plan" of trips this summer!
~Finishing Personal Progress
~Being Mia Maid President
~Making new, amazing friends
~Watching Bridge to Terrabithia when Crystal cried hysterically
~Our Park City trips
~Hearing Ashytn teasingly say "It's like trying to baptize a cat," about trying to humble our not-so-humble guy friend :) You had to be there
~French class
~Finally getting a 4.0
~Finishing the AP test!
~Watching Anthony Bourdain; Parts Unknown and House Hunters International with my dad sometimes
~Helping Freestone memorize his French lines and having him correct my pronunciation
~Eating lunch outside with my besties
~Watching Tizzy grow up (into quite the independent, sassy little thing)
~Shopping with dad and Ruby
~Performing at Abravanel Hall with Davis Youth Symphony
~When Abi asked the model who was being photographed at our ballet studio for a picture
~Teaching ballet and art camps for kids
~And a whole lotta other awesome things! :)

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...
