Peronne

We spent a total of three days in Peronne, Genevieve's vacation home which we absolutely love. We had about a week to stay when we came two summers ago and Ruby and I fell in love with the vineyards, cherry trees, gardens and French landscapes. I was so glad we got a few nights in Peronne before and after Lanselvillard. We also stayed in Catherine and Genevieve's father's home. He died a few months ago and they are going to have to sell the house soon. It's a mansion from the 1800s. We stayed there two nights in all and on the last one, Olympe, Ruby and I watched The Aristocats (Aristochats in French) on VCR in the attic we slept in. We watched it in French and I understood everything! Granted it's a kids' movie, but I was pretty proud! Then after dinner we watched Jurassic Park 1 before we fell asleep half-way through.
In Peronne I went on a walk at dusk around the gardens listening to An American in Paris. I found an adorable black kitty that I played with for a while and it was just such a serene, movie-like moment. Peronne is so French and so beautiful, I was sad to leave!
 We went to a little art show in a nearby village while Catherine bought groceries


 The view from the attic, it was raining and made it oh so cool, lovely and it smelled so good! And rain always makes things more cozy and enjoyable



 The Aristochats!
 Emily's friend Spencer and Evyn had farewells on the same day. This is my sad face for both of us losing our best guy friends




Meanwhile, Evyn's farewell was going on!

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 ...
