Lagoon Day

I went on this and LIVEDDDDD












This Lagoon Day was a little different......I went on the rollercoasters!! I am usually a huge scaredy-cat, but I decided it was kind of now or never, and I had a lot of positive encouragement. Like my six-year-old brother going on the rides haha-good motivation!
 I went on the White Rollercoaster, Colossus, Wicked, and the new one Cannibal! I still can't believe I did. I told myself when it was being built that I'd NEVER go on it, EVER. But there was a cute, tiny little girl in line that said it was her favorite ride, and her dad also was very convincing in the ride's fun-factor and smoothness. Plus he was wearing a Superman shirt, so I had to trust him right? I'm so glad I took the kid's advice and went-it was so much fun!! Afterward she gave me a high five :)

Jeremy will be working in Arizona during my farewell, so this was the last time seeing him before I leave for a year and a half! My first goodbye! I got a little teary-eyed
Grandma being escorted out ;) We were the last ones to leave!




With my new found bravery, I wanted to go on Wicked again (this time opening my eyes) and so Jeff came with me. It's not often I get one-on-one uncle time so it was fun to talk in line together and hear all of Jeff's mission stories in Mexico. (Plus a few business India trips)  I HAVE THE BEST UNCLES!
Lex, Jackson and Juvol. Juvol was quite the support on Cannibal. His sarcastic comments definitely made me less nervous ;)

I'm in front of a Chinese ride and going to live in China soon, so the pose was necessary
This peacock had us all in awe!
A few years ago, seven to be exact, all the grandkids took a Wild West picture. At the time, these six cuties weren't born, so they finally got their big chance. It turned out deadly in its adorableness!

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! :)

You need a little chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star ~Friedrich Nietzche Doesn't that quote just give you chills? Since I'm a dance major, it really applied and hit me when I first read it. But really, couldn't it apply to everyone? Everyone needs that inner fire, the unorganized but driven, passionate part of their souls. One of my ballet teachers explains it as a dragon, sleeping below your ribs, ready to be awakened. I love that image because it makes me want to take initiative, to be strong, to let go of fear, and be a little wild. It's exhilarating, and freeing for a girl like me to tap into that more powerful, tenacious part of myself. For me, dancing lights that inner fire. I feel free to express myself and I feel vibrant and strong. Sometimes it's strange to have what used to be my "hobby" and "outlet" be my focus of study and possible career. You have to balance the academic, progressive part of it with the passion an...
