Today we slept in accidentally until 12:00!! I've never done that in my life! I think with the time change and the jet lag we were just so tired! We usually wake up at eight or nine so that's what we told them. The dad laughed at us when he came home from work for lunch. They understood and we very nice but tomorrow we will not do that again! The French have fancy meals at about eight, noon and about eight or nine at night. They have a snack at about three I think. Today we had chicken curry and bread and yogurt and rice and green beans. It seems like wine, bread and yogurt are always served at lunch and dinner.  (But don't worry we won't try wine!) Today the dad said that the we have the saying "this is the last straw" and he thought it meant the last beans because they say in French "the end of the beans" or something like that. We told him it was like hay that horses eat not beans. Haha:) Olympe also asked yesterday if we would like to hit something. We laughed. I pretended to hit Ruby and said quoi? She laughed and said I mean eat something! Now we are going into to Lille to shop and we will take the tramway home. There is a big sale going on that started yesterday so we are lucky to be here now! Au revoir!!

  2. I'm glad you caught up on your sleep. I'm not coping well with you gone. I had so much fun in NYC! I'm so glad you get to have this experience. Post some pictures if you can. I bought you a snow globe for you to remember our NYC trip. I will put it in your room and keep in out of Tziporah's little hands. Have fun. Love you.

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...
