Halloween Dance

Last night was Davis' Halloween Dance and it was so fun!! We dressed up like hippies and rocked it. Thanks Whites for the costume! My date wore a black long wig that was so funny! When I came to the door to pick him up, he came out and said "If this scares you I can totally take it off", pointing to the wig. hahaha!
Our group had 6 couples and 3 of them were dressed as undercover superheroes and 3 were hippies. I'm glad we just went with the costume we all wanted to do/was easy :)
We also got our Nutcracker sweats and pictures yesterday! I love them!!

Emily's costume was classic! Last minute DI find with her mom a few hours earlier. Her shoes were pretty great. Putrid orange flowered stilettos for 3 bucks. She looked adorable. Like seriously who else could pull off those flowing red pants?
We went to Alyssa's house to carve pumpkins and take group and couple pictures. We decided to carve the classic jack-o-lantern face instead of attempting something too creative :) Emily and Zach Calder carved a mean peace sign though

After pumpkin carving we went to Sarah's for dinner. It was amazing! Her mom had gone all out. Halloween decor, lots of yummy food, goodie bags, rootbeer with dry ice, the whole 9 yards. We had baked potatoes, ribs, salad, and mint brownies. She even had her little sister and her friend serving us, wearing matching witch costumes. They were too cute
Then finally, we made it to the dance. It was so fun seeing everyone's costumes. There were quite a few more hippies, but we were definitely the hippest ones :) And Zach wins the best dancer award. He was great. The dance was so much fun. I still can't believe sweaty teenagers dressed up in crazy costumes dancing awkwardly in a lunchroom is so fun.

After the dance we went to my house for a caramel apple bar and a showing of Watcher in the Woods.
Me & Zach, Sarah & Seth, Zach C & Emily, Connor & Mallory, Alyssa & Caton

We couldn't get over Jan's hair. The bad 80s hair somewhat lessened the scariness, thankfully ;)
Hey and that blue mascara I accidentally bought finally came in handy! It really complimented the purple in the headband ;)

Thanks for being an amazing date Zach!
Happy Halloween everyone

PS These pictures are so funny.

I didn't even mean to look stoned in this picture. Don't worry I did not go fully hippie at the dance ;) And I'm doing a peace sign...not flipping anyone off

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

Navajo Nation

The Honors Program sponsors a bunch of activities they allow the students to sign up for. They are as simple as a paddle boarding excursion at night, to a four day road trip to Navajo Nation. I signed up for the Navajo Nation thinking that I wouldn't get in and that it was forever away. Then someone else couldn't go and I was informed it was in two days. I am the world's worst decision maker and I had a hard time deciding to go. I would miss 5 dance classes and a biology class, plus the possible opportunity to go to the BYU-Boise game and the singles ward. But I might never get the chance to go to Navajo Nation and I didn't want to regret the " what if's ?"  College is for being a little crazy, going out of your comfort zone and utilizing all your resources and claiming every opportunity. So I decided to go. I met the group at 6:55 am, realizing that I was about to spend 7 1/2 hours in a car with people I didn't know. What was I thinking?? But th...

A brief testimony

Excerpt from an email to a missionary friend:  I went to Young Women in Excellence last night and Ruby and Ari spoke. It was super neat because I was in charge of New Beginnings back in March and the themes of both nights were the same: Embark. Back in March I still didn't know what school I was going to, whether I'd serve a mission at 19, etc etc. And now, I kind of have embarked. I'm living on my own, I went to Europe for 6 weeks since then, I'm no longer in Young Womens, I'm at college and getting ready for a mission! It was a really good thing to think about, remember and analyze whether or not I'm letting Heavenly Father steer the course of my life. There are some stormy seas in life, but I am so thankful that I have a testimony that I know I can rely on and that Heavenly Father will work with and strengthen. Even if strengthening my testimony means more trials, I feel more peace and comfort than I ever have because I have come to see that God really...
