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

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...
