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!

Good News

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Why I Am Choosing To Serve A Mission

Although this is very difficult to articulate, dare I even say impossible, I am going to try! I am choosing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I will serve for eighteen months. I do not choose where I spend those eighteen months, or even in what language I will speak during that time. I will take a break from school, from my dancing and leave my family. It is a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make because I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me so that I can repent, learn to love fully, and become like him. To become better and to learn during my lifetime. I know that he died for every one . I know that he knows each of us, individually, and wants us to be happy. Heavenly Father also loves and knows each of us. He has guided and directed me numerous times, in ways that cannot be explained without fully recognizing His divine hand. The relationships, experiences, trials, and blessings I ...

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...
