This. Was. Life. Changing. I cannot even...



Jewels on pages within Shakespeare & Co. bookstore






Decided to Metro over to Sacre-Couer while I waited for Amy's bus to get in. I leisurely walked back the way I thought was the Seine, then found another Metro and rode a few stops back to the Louvre



So interesting to see depictions of an affusion baptism of Christ.






I cried a little when I saw this painting in one of the sections of the aisle. It says "sing Ma" which literally means holy Mary. It refers to the Virgin Mary.















hahahahha, maybe someday we will come with our husbands and have a real Eiffel kiss. But I don't plan on getting married for a while, and I don't think I will be coming back to Paris extremely soon. I have other places on my list that I have never ever been to.











You always make these hearts in Asia

This crepe literally made Amy cry.
She CRIED!
You haven't lived until you have eaten a strawberry-nutella crepe in Paris



The D'Orsay!!!!!!!!!! We waited in ZERO lines. It's one of the best museums ever, in my opinion. While Amy sat to rest after hours of oohing and speculating over canvases, I wandered over to French Art Deco interior design. While standing there wondering about the details and life of 20th century Paris, a late 40s/50s something man started speaking to me in French. Harnassing all my high school French abilities, and thinking he would just state a brief observation about the ornate fireplace, I pretended to understand. Until it was too late and he spoke a good ten sentences before I hesitated awkwardly between one of his musings. Long story short, he said I looked completely Parisian, I almost died because that is like the best compliment in the world, then he ran up to me a minute later and gave me his phone number and suggested we get coffee the next day. There's a first for everything: get hit on by old French dudes.

























I crave this literally alllllllllll the timmmmmmmmmmmmmme














This girl's outfit was SO cute. And she reminded me of a modern Little Dancer.


















 Amy made me laugh so hard I cried










Virgin drinks at the pub in the Latin quarter. Best burger I've ever had. And the drinks were great too

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 ...

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...
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! :)
