Saying good bye

Right before I left, we had a little Bon Voyage, Birthday going away party. My closest friends came and we just enjoyed taking, eating and basically reminiscing and saying goodbye as most of us just graduated and going on missions or college. It was such a nice night and I loved having them all together. I'm so mad and sad I didn't get a picture!!!!! But just take my word for it, they're the best, more genuine, nice group of teenagers you could find. I'm so proud of the boys for going on missions and for the girls headed to college, especially since I saw first hand the amount of work and dedication it took to get them where they are. BYU, U of U, Weber, USU and UVU are very lucky to be getting these friends of mine. Not to mention all the places worldwide that are gaining my friends as amazing missionaries. Saying good bye was so hard, but luckily the next day I was off to Europe and had quite the experience to keep my mind off it. But still, when I texted my friend Evyn about the whole ordeal, he told my other friend Nate to call and make sure I was okay and talk to me. And Emily sent me hilarious DMs to make me laugh. Also, BIG NEWS-Emily is coming to Europe with me and my parents in November, thanks to the extra miles we got because of the cancelations. I'm so excited, especially since we'll have something to look forward to being 4 hours away from each other!!
Yesterday a last goodbye was said over Skype. Thank goodness for technology! Evyn is leaving tomorrow and I can't believe it! We've been in the same ward for forever, so I feel like so much has led up to this. The Sunday school lessons, mutual nights, youth retreats, etc. And it's so exciting to think that the next time we see each other I'll be a returned missionary too! Huzzah! I'm so excited for my mish :)
we talked for over an hour on Skype them finally said goodbye. He's going to the four corners mission, so it'll be super easy to mail stuff :). It was sad to say bye because so much will be different in 3 years, but all the changes will be good, so it's okay.
good luck Elder Conrad!

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! :)

Happy New Year!

2014 will be a great year! It's 1:46 am right now so I will blog more tomorrow but I just can't believe it's January and the start of another brand new year! Yay for 2k14!!! On New Years Eve I went to a friends house to party! We watched Back to the Future and had treats, played games, and talked. We counted down, watched the ball drop, made fun of Miley Cyrus. There were a lot of people so it was really fun. On New Years Day we visited Nana, saw Frozen, went to Coco's and dad, mom and Ruby and I went to dinner. I'd been wanting to go to Rio Grande for awhile so we drove up to SLC. When we got there it was closed! So, change of plans, we went to Royal India in Bountiful instead. I'm so glad we did!! I love Indian food and it was delicious!! We got garlic, regular and a sweet naan and lamb sagg, coconut chicken and butter chicken and a mango lasse! Heaven. It was fun to just spend time with my parents and Ruby. They are really good about taking time to give u...

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 ...
