What I've Been Up To

Well, it's no secret that I haven't posted something in FOREVER. But, here are some pictures of how my Fall Semester went....

Slacking

So. It's been a while. I've just been doing other things and haven't really thought about posting for a while, which I apologize for. Here is an update with what has been happening with my life.


Not much. For May, I was living with my brothers. Pretty much all I did on the days I wasn't busy, was watch tv and read. On Mondays and Wednesdays I had Aerial dance classes. They were a lot of fun :] I am going to be taking them all summer thankfully :] 


In a couple of weeks, I get the amazing opportunity to work with RDT. For those of you who don't speak dance, that is Repertory Dance Theatre. I am SO excited. I am taking a 2 week summer intensive and at the end of those 2 weeks I get to PERFORM with them!! Oh it is going to be LEGEN- wait for it- DARY!Hahaha :] 


I think it's been a couple of weeks since I have heard from my mish. Which sucks, but doesn't really surprise me. He's busy, and his family said that they think he should only write me once a month. To which he said that he wanted ME to choose. So I told him to suck it up, be a man, and make a decision. And that whatever he chose both me AND HIS FAMILY would have to deal with it. So we will see what happens. I don't like that this has turned into a "me against his family" thing. But for some reason, I think they want it that way. I just get this feeling that they don't really like me, or that I'm just some random girl who can be looked over. WRONG. But, what happens happens. 


My family is really tight on money right now and I am worried. I can't find a job because of all the dance classes I am taking. But I KNOW that these classes will make me a better dancer which can help with my future. We are all PRAYING that we can make it through the summer. Oh and our stupid vehicles aren't helping anything. The van can only be driven around town, the truck gets HORRIBLE gas mileage, the neon doesn't work at all, and the honda just broke down the other day so its in the shop. Wow do we have BAD luck in that department...


Well I think that pretty much covers what has been happening. Till next time! 

Aerial

I've been slacking.... Forgive me?

So remember how I said I was going to try and post more often? Ya obviously that hasn't happened... I have been WAY busy lately. Haven't had a break for like the past 2 weeks. I have either been at rehearsal or performances. KILL ME. Ha. But thankfully, schools almost out! Yay! I am 2 finals away from freedom! :] 


Our performances this past week actually went REALLY well. I had an asthma attack right before aerial BOTH nights but thankfully didn't fall or get caught in the fabric. I'M ALIVE!! :] Now only one more performance of Christmas Tapestry tonight and no more performances until next semester. 


It has been like 3 or 4 weeks since my last letter from my mish but I know he is just busy. Which is a good thing :] Lately I have had some friends with boys coming home and it hasn't been working out. And Satan keeps trying to show me things and tell me things that will make me doubt myself in waiting. However, Heavenly Father has a good comeback ;] He keeps showing me reasons why I am waiting. Some ladies in my home ward talked about their missionaries that are out and read some of their emails. I knew both of them and they have grown SO MUCH spiritually. I can't wait to see how much better my mish will be when he gets back :] He was so strong before and I just know God is going to mold him into something even more amazing. Plus, I believe me and Elder Cuddle Buns together is something that Satan is VERY scared about and SHOULD BE! 


Also, one of the ladies read the last part of this poem. It is amazing. Here is a link to a blog I found it on.

Four down... 20 to go!

It's been four months!! This post is kinda late  because his month mark was on Sunday, but better late than never right? Haha I cannot believe how fast time is flying. When people ask me how long he has been gone and I say four month, they are like "Oh, so not that long ago." But in my mind I am like, "Whoa! He has already been gone FOUR MONTHS??!?! It seems like he just left!" Which is a good thing :] My mom just sent off my Christmas package for him like a week ago as well. (My mom did it because I didn't have time) I hope he likes it.... I put in two ties, a leather planner cover, and a bag of miniature reeses. 

I got a letter on Monday, it had been like 3 weeks since my last one. He wrote it on Halloween!! Which means it took like almost a month to get to me. WHY CANADA POSTAL SERVICE WHY?!?! Anyways, in the beginning of the letter he told me that he was sorry that he hadn't kept his promise in a while of writing me every week, so he has a surprise for me and to be prepared. I don't know whether to be excited or scared!! I have no idea what it could be because that is all he said about it! Suspense much?! It was only two pages (the shortest yet) but I loved EVERY WORD. :] 

This past week was crazy. We had this guy named Vincent Brosseau come choreograph for us. Now, this was not your regular dance. We had 7 foot poles that weigh 10 pounds each... and we kinda pole-vault-dance with them. It is called Rippling Souls. Here is the video if you want to see. This is not my group but this is like exactly what we do. The part where they jump up and hold themselves there for like 10-15 seconds, ya I do that part. 

 

Today is Thanksgiving, and I am gonna get to see my Grandma and Grandpa on my dad's side and my Grandma on my mom's side. (My mom's parents are divorced and we never see my Grandpa. It's been like 6 or 7 years) I am so grateful for my family and everything they do. I would not be the person today if it was not for my family and friends. I am thankful that my missionary has come into my life and am proud that he made the decision to serve a mission. I am thankful that I have him as a best friend and that someday, I will marry him. I am grateful that I have the talents that I do and can share them with others. I am thankful that the Lord has blessed me with such awesome roommates this year who are helping me get through the next 2 years and will be my friends for life. Sometimes I complain, but honestly I love my life and wouldn't trade it for anything. 

The Wonderful World of Dance

Today I had the AMAZING opportunity to attend a concert by the Ririe - Woodberry Company. They were AWESOME! Wow the way they moved and the positive and negative space was very interesting. They have some amazing dancers and they are so strong! 


One thing that I liked is that they included the audience in their performance. VERY COOL! haha :] If you have not seen them I highly recommend it :]


Also for those of you in Utah, the Myan in like the Orem-Sandy area CLOSED!!! I am so SAD!!! Last year I had the amazing opportunity of performing Aerial dance there. We were going to go do it again, but now we can't because they have closed. *Sigh* Guess we will have to find some other dream ;] 

Rave Weirdness!

My roommates and I are total weirdos! We put our hair all crazy and what not and then wanted to go knock on people's doors and party then leave. Ha :] Anyways... Here are a ton of crazy pics we took. Enjoy :]

Attempt One at a star = not to bad

Attempt two at a star = sucky

Attempt three at a star = better

Attempt four = AWESOME! :]
