Junior year has been so much fun. The homework is kind of overwhelming but I am just loving High School.

Homecoming 2013 was a blast! For the day activity we helped one of the guys with his Eagle Scout project which was actually really fun. Then I left to go to the Dance Company tailgate dinner that dad, Ari, Free and Xanthe got to come to and then we all met at Davis for the Homecoming game! We killed Viewmont! We left a little early since it was so cold and it was 32 to 0. We got hot chocolate and went to Junstin's house to play games. We played a really funny game similar to Apples to Apples that I won. The next day I had ballet and Nutcracker and then got ready. My mom was sewing the sleeves of the dress on a few hours before I was picked up. We got a pretty vintage dress from a French boutique in Bountiful. My grandma made the straps for me and my parents ran around everywhere trying to find a little jacket after deciding the sleeves weren't thick enough. I was a little stressed but of course it ended up fine! My parents are so willing to get/do whateve...

Just so we can look somewhat educated on Facebook... You're= You are. As in, "YOUR'E annoying me with wrong spellings of this word." Your= your.  As in, "YOUR spelling book in third grade covered this." Too= As in, "Do you think grownups spell this wrong TOO?" (Yes, they do) Two= Come on people, as in the number. To=As in,  "Are you going TO go back TO elementary school to learn this?" There= Go over there and practice these words. They're= They're always going to be this dumb. Their=Their English grade must be bad. Thank you.

Ruby and Ari did not make it. Freestone and I did. I'm devastated for Ruby, but I'm so happy and grateful to be a Maid and Waltz. This must have been a hard year. A lot of very talented girls didn't make it. Just goes to show that seniority and "connections" do not make a difference. This will be a hard year with Ruby not in it and this being my second to last Nutcracker. Congratulations to everyone who tried out! Sometimes casting is confusing and hard. But.. Here's to a fabulous 2013 Nutcracker! 

Nutcracker auditions are a bit of a big deal at our house. It's such a fun Christmas tradition to participate and I just love the "magic of Nutcracker" as Emma and I say :) I am also a perfectionist, so auditions can be stressful for me, but I also love them in a way. The excitement, rush, work, practice and thought that goes into them is fun and fulfilling and makes the performances even more worth it. Ruby was in my audition this year as well as the 34 other Advanced dancers at the studio. The audition was from 8-10 am but some of that time was for warming up before the judges even showed up. There were three judges again, one that is always there and two others that I recognized. We got numbers that Sarah made last year that stay on nicely. The numbers were assigned based on where you stood at the barre during warm up so lucky me… I got number TWO! Going in the first group was hard, not going to lie. You have no time to watch and get the combinations concrete in your...

I Am From 769 East Oxford Drive I am from the nice china my parents got at their wedding, I am from the big wooden dinner table and original paintings on the wall. I am from the creaky swing set, the left-out bicycles And the flowerbed of sunflowers, as busy as New York City with the buzzing bees and jittery grasshoppers. I am from the Varney’s golden marigolds, the Steed’s nostalgic bench And the Weir’s two red lawn chairs. From the middle names Christine, Kristine and Cristine. The Robisons, Hills and DeBrys. From the woman whom I’m a namesake for; Golda Jane Burton King. I am from the “It’s just growing pains.” And the “ ‘Et’s be goo!”, and the “Get in the car!” I am from the crockpot, the chocolate-chip cookies, the Christmas treats and the Cafe Rio salad. I am from affable family gatherings, Gelastic dawns and active after-school action. I am from the vibrant callings of the orange wall in the kitchen And the bowl of grainy seashells and ...
