dancing through life

temple

2010-01-06T20:50:00.000-08:00

today was a good day! first i had seminary which we had a really good lesson. all about Christ and our relationship with him. it was great.
second i had physics. gross.
except funny story, we were like measuring the acceleration of these little truck things. ya we didn't get it either. so sidney and i decided to do something better! we attached notes to the cars and put them into people's classrooms and offices. it was so so funny and we were laughing so hard. one of the best parts was that our physics teacher had no idea what was going on. it was so classic.
so...lunch is always good!! nothing to complain here.
third hour i decided to switch into honors drama. and it was so fun! our drama teacher was awesome and i love being in that class.
fourth hour was english which was ok... love pride and prejudice which is what we're reading so its nice to discuss that.

so came home, worked out, watched 7th heaven then went to mutual.
mutual was awesome. the laurels went to the temple and watched a really old church movie but it was about families being together forever. it was awesome! i love the temple and hope that one day i can be sealed there to a husband and we'll have a family of our own, forever. i can't wait.

high school musical

2010-01-05T20:49:00.000-08:00

so second day of the semester and it was very good. first hour i had healing of america and it was pretty boring today (basically learned all about the monetary system) but i can tell it will be a good class. i'm way excited!!
second hour was bowling. which i'm going to drop. thank goodness
lunch was good :)
third hour was stagecraft and it went really well. but soemone dropped a piece of wood on my head and it hurt pretty bad. but we cleaned and organized the shed and it looks SO much better. it was such a mess and now it looks great.
fourth hour was the musical!! which i am thrilled to be in. like really, i'm so excited. we are doing
"high school musical" so it should be a blast. we did call-backs today and they went really well. i'm just excited to be in it. it'll be so much fun.

then work after school. more money is all i can focus on there. woohoo!
good day :)

beginning of the end.

2010-01-04T20:24:00.000-08:00

today was my last first day in high school. weird.
it was a good day though. woke up at 6:58 and my ride was coming at 7:05. uhh yeah.
so i rushed to get ready, decided on doing make-up in car, then rushed to family prayer, then ou the door.
btw, i LOVE my school. it rocks. the building, teachers, classes, everything. and my friends are just the best ever. like, they really, are!
so first hour, Seminary- it was great. lovedit.
second hour- had no class, so wandered for a while then stood in line forever to get my schedule fixed and it took forever!!
lunch- now lunch was an adventure all in itself. went out to meet my friends and they had left. so i decided on jack in the box and after i ordered my tacos, i sat and watched the people in the restaurant. now this was very interesting because there is defenitly an assortment of people at this certain jack in the box in downtown mesa, as you can imagine. but i couldn't keep my eyes off of one man. he was homeless i was sure. he was carrying a pillow, and a plastic bag with like a toothbrush i believe. when he got up his shoes were the next thing i noticed. they were so torn up and just in terrible shape. at that moment i felt so immensely grateful for my life. but then i felt this terrible guilt. that why do i get such a better life than this man when i don't even deserve it. if i needed a new pair of shoes ( not that i do because i have SO many pairs in my room) i would be capapble of buying them or i could ask my parents who would gladly provide some new ones for me. then i felt i love for this man. i could feel his sorrow and i wanted to fix it for him. i had to do something.
so i grabbed my food and headed to the nearest atm. in fact i ran to it because i didn't want him to leave somewhere. i got the money and ran back. at this time all my friends were walking out of the restuarant. i ran past him and reached my hand out with some money in it.
i could barely talk because of my emotions, but asked him if he needed some new shoes. i gave him the money and told him to go buy himself some new ones. my emotions overcame me at that point. my friends were all staring at me and i didn't know what to do!! so i just burst into tears. i'm sure that they all were wondering what was wrong and probley some of them just blowing it off and saying i was just being "emotional" whatever.
this was one of the neatest expeierences ever. i felt the spirirt SO strong and i knew that i needed to help this man. my patriarchal blessing says that i will be able to give selfless service to those around me. and as i do this my spirituality will increase as well as those around me. this was defiently one of the fullfillments of this promise. so so so neat!
third hour, Senior Art- i'm terrible at art. like really, really terrible. might drop that class.
fourth hour, English- pride and prejudice, woohoo!!

so pretty great day. the sunset was beautiful.
i'm SO happy to be me! :)

reverent and meekly now

2010-01-04T20:17:00.000-08:00

my sunday was great... slept in, fasted, forever strong

then i got ready and went to church. "reverently and meekly now was the name of the sacrament song... i felt this was very fitting because our ward was LOUD today. just like super loud. so when i saw that this was our song, i totally silently laughed to myself. (by the way, i really like loud wards... they are the best)
sunday school was good of course. we are learning about the old testament this year which i'm not thrilled about, but it'll be good.
then young womens which was AMAZING! we learned about Christ and drawing closer to Him. it was an inspired just amazing lesson. i love my Savior and have a testimony of him and can't wait for it to grow stronger.

love my ward family, like ALOT!

footloose

2010-01-02T23:28:00.000-08:00

super good day!

so first i slept in until like 11 until my mom forced to me to get up and do chores... gross.

then work. i work at krazy sub. its pretty fun. but pretty sloooow day there. krazy sub is like the best job ever though. i love it!

after four looonngg hours of sub-making went home and did more chores, then i went to the rassmussens to see my girls.. i just adore them and love being their sister/aunt/bff :)

then my friend from LIGHT got married today and i headed over to her reception. it was so cute and cowboy-ed out. and her dress was GORGEOUS... one of the prettiest i have ever seen!! She looked so dang happy and i was so happy for her.

afterwards, we went to my dear friends Carlie's house. she is amazing! her sister as well. i just ADORE those girls sooo much. Chuck was having a bonfire thing and it was so much fun. there were old light people there and new ones and it was so fun! we danced and ate and played games and just had a blast!! dancing was the best though. we did all of our old songs and it was so fun. i feel so blessed to have such amazing friends and people in my life :) i love them SO much! they are truly incredible people.

it was an awesome way to end the break. i love my life.
2010 is going to be great. i can feel it!!

2010

2010-01-01T18:17:00.000-08:00

so i really want to write in a journal. but i don't think that i will have the patience to sit down and write about my days. then i got a really handy laptop from Santa... so i think that i can spare 5 more minutes on this little thing to write about my days. not many pics will end up on it i'm sure. but hopefully i'll write something everyday.

anyways last night was SO fun.
it started out with me and my friend kayla watching 24... only our favorite tv show that is awesome! then we got all ready to hit the town... or the stake center!

yes we went to the stake dance and it was awesome!! SO MUCH FUN. i think that was because i just let go and was myself and just had fun. we rang in the new year dancing to party in the USA. oh yeah that's right.
p.s. my night didn't go as expected... but still SO fun

afterwards i was a genius and brought sparkling cider to drink and toast to the new year. well then we proceeded around the stake center letting people take drinks and you know... pretending like we were drunk... haha then like EVERYONE then decided to quote "avoid the appearance of evil" scripture to us and i found it pretty funny.

we met a real FBI agent afterwards and he works for a counter-terrorist unit. cool huh? and it was cooler because we are huge fans of 24,,, sweet huh??
oh and we listened to lots of Joseph's really stupid jokes.

then to bp's for breakfast that we didn't eat. so then we did some socializing then went to wal-mart to buy some essentials.

yes Cesar salad and Dr. pepper. hello!

then we watched more 24 and kayla fell asleep... sometime and then i dozed off around 5:30-6ish. Mom woke me up at 9 AM to go up to the snow with the Krummanachers.

Snow is BEAUTIFUL. loved it. perfect day. :) way to start out the new year.

sick day

2009-04-22T12:53:00.000-07:00

yesterday was a sick day.

i woke up at 430 throwing up the prior days food.

then proceeded to not be able to fall asleep.

then threw up again at around 7. so no school for me. . .

i thought this would be a good thing but it was soooo boring.

luckily i had the sound of music recorded. watched it twice then fast forwarded to my favorite parts including. .

16 going on 17

when the captain and liesl sing edelwiess

basically just the whole movie. . . :) love it so much

if you haven't seen it. . . go rent it. now

2009-03-04T12:15:00.000-08:00

I had such a fun time with light this past weekend

we started out at the bright and early hour of six in the morning. . .but bus rides are always so much fun! this bus ride included:

-blue gatorade
-ipods
-high school musical 3
-watching the boys watch high school musical (lets just say they weren't very happy)
-taking out my curls
-almost breaking out in tears from the curlers
-saying every 5 minuetes how dang attractive zac efron is
-"we're almost to sea level"
-the coke soap
-the zac move
-glow in the dark rubics cube
-and so much more

then we got to our beautiful hotel! and got to get ready for competition which included lots of teasing, hairspray, blush, lipstick and other various processes.

finally we got to competition. the point of our whole journey to LA.

competition is so much fun. our regular show was just incredible! i think i left everything on the stage! i threw it all out there and gave it my best. and i hope that it showed. i felt so good about it. i'm so excited for chicago because i know that i need to improve.

it was also fun because we got to meet some of the other show choirs. when you go to these competitions we have this automatic bond with the other choirs. its so fun to meet these awesome kids and be able to dance and talk with them.

after competition we quickly got on different clothes and headed over to the beach. the water looked so pretty with the stars and the lights from the pier reflecting on the ocean. it was one of those moments that made you gratful for this pretty world. then we got to eat pizza which was probley the best part of the night because we were starving. . .but the beach was pretty awesome!

the next day was six flags and it was awesome

some memories from there:

-riding on tatsu on the front row and feeling like you're flying
-eating our 11-freakin-dollar panda express meal
-waiting in the X2 line for over an hour then having the ride break down
-actually riding X2 (freaked me out) (is everybody in?....)
-the cutest little toon town
-frozen lemonade. . .oh its sooooo good
-riding goliath ( a classic, fabulous ride)
-being so dang excited to ride batman (i LOVE batman)
-buying my really cool yet really dorky batman shirt :)
-riding the stupidest log ride ever. . .thanks kayla
-riding viper two times and almost barfing
-buying the stupid 1 dollar lockers. . .four times (they totally rip you off at these places)
-closing the locker on kayla
-guessing which locker is going to open
-having the guy in front of me turn back and saying "i don't want to die!!" well dude, me niether!!
-riding superman (zero to one hundred MPH in 6 seconds= awesome)
-going on gold rushers and freaking out making the little kids thinking we were actually scared
-dancing to brittney spears in the middle of the park
-walking up this realllly loonngg uphill hike like 4 times
and theres a lot more!
it was such a fun day!

after we left we got to go to in'n'out because a cali trip is not the same without stopping at this great restaurant! i love it there!

then we loaded onto the bus for a long bus ride home while trying to sleep. trying to sleep on the bus is not that fun. but it wasn't that bad this time

anyways, this trip was AMAZING and i can't wait for chicago in a couple of weeks :)

bomarzo and grote

2008-06-01T03:39:00.000-07:00

so on friday we moved down to the country house in Grote, this cute little italian town. it's so cute and adorable. yesterday, we travled up to bomarzo, which is pitcured above. it was so cool. this guy just had all of these carvings made and all this random stuff, and he put it with riddles but no one can figure it out. its really pretty but the carvings and sculptures are so wierd. but it was gorgeous. in the picture is the crooked house which really is crooked. its very interesting. you feel out of whack in it. its cool. well, the house is wonderful and beautiful. we also went to the hot springs which was quite and experience. i sat in the same hot spring as michelangelo. that was cool. well, loves. can't wait until saturday.

“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air…”

2008-05-29T09:27:00.000-07:00

gorgeous huh? these are seriously everywhere!
the medditerranean sea, amazing and beautiful. i loved this picture because it was rainy the today when i went too. our plans were to go to the colseum, shopping then to a roman spa called a hamim (yes, i know, basically heaven) but our plans were changed when it was kind of rainy today. so we went to bonnie's friends apartment by the sea and had lunch. this was true authentic italian food and let me tell you. it was wonderful. i loved it. and i got ice! it was great. i ate all the ice in their whole house. she didn't want it. they believe ice is so bad for you and it blows my mind. well anyways then we headed to the sea. it was such a pretty drive. it looked like a movie. i loved it. and there are these little red poppies everywhere that are just gorgeous. anyways the sea was beautiful. i loved it. and it was just windy and beautiful. gosh, it was just wonderful! oh i love roma. off to get gelato! :)

gelato. . .my new best friend

2008-05-29T03:35:00.000-07:00

wow. . .i had heard about the gelato in Italy and how amazing it is. it really. i couldn't believe that it would be so good. i love the picture above too. my favorite flavor is usually the coconut but all of them are good. when i get back to the states, (haha) i'm going to be eating my gelato a lot. the best invention ever. (and no, i can't bring any home. i'm still trying to find a way)

roman holiday

2008-05-28T09:53:00.000-07:00

favorite movie of all time. . . even more now :)

when in rome...

2008-05-28T09:25:00.000-07:00

roma drinking fountian

you just drink right from them or fill up your water bottle

coolest thing ever

well, today we didn't do as much sight seeing. today we lived like the romans do. relaxed and taking it easy. first, i got to sleep in and then off to the market. it wasn't exactly like i had imagined it. the clothes were all really cheap but, not any i liked very much. i did get a couple of really pretty rings like the one above. they are cool because they look old and are big, and chunky, and just are from italy. i also got a pair of classic italian black high heels. they were really nice and cheap and i liked them. i'm excited for them. then my last thing i got was some really cute sunglasses. i liked the market. then we went to lunch at a little family-owned restuarant. it was so cute and delicious. they even grew their own herbs out front. it was so cool. after that we had to get swimsuits so i bought my own italian swimsuit and also so perfume that smells so good and its in italian. i love italy. tomorrow our plan is to go by the sea and eat lunch then go to this little town thats supposed to be like pompeii except bigger and better. i'm excited. one thing in italy that i don't like is the no ice thing. it drives me crazy!! i'm so craving ice right now. but one cool thing about rome is they have these water fountians everywhere that just run always that have fresh water coming out of them. they are so good. well, i'm going to take a nap on a swing in a garden. could life get much better??

2008-05-27T08:18:00.000-07:00

italy is amazing! i'm having the time of my life. we went out in roma today and it was great. in the morning we headed to the vatican to go through the musems. it was so neat. we saw the sistine chapel, some of michaelanglos work, some da vincis, roman and greek statues, and just some amazing works of art. the whole musem was just gorgeous with everything that was in it. it was hard to take pictures but it was incredible. the picture above is st. peters chapel. we got to it and the line was like 4 miles long. thats not even a joke too. we decided not to go in it but just looking at it and seeing the beauty was enough. we also got to see the plaza and that was just incredible. the columns everywhere and the balcony was just beautiful. probley my favorite part about the vatican was its pure beauty. i loved looking out the windows and seeing the pretty green trees and fountains and old buildings everywhere. it was breathtaking.

next we walked for a loooonnnng time. but it was cool to see all the sites and just roma. it was beautiful. everyone lives in apartments, like the ones in the very first picture. the traffic is incredible. everyone drives so fast, parks everywhere, and it feels like you are going to run into someone. seriously, there are cars and vespas everywhere. they are all small cars too. the vespas go up and down the lanes and the lines don't mean anything to these people. its really quite cool. they are always cutting each other off and its so great to watch. after we walked for a while we ate lunch at a litlle italian cafe. it was so fun and cute. the food was soooo good. so in italy, there are some wierd customs you have to get used too. first, they eat their salad after their dinner. that was wierd for me and i messed that up the first time. second, they don't like ice. i asked the waitress for some ice, and she gave me the funniest look. i guess europeans don't like ice. i love ice. i couldn't believe it. needless to say, she never brought me any ice.

after that we got to old rome. the place where all the history is at. its amazing. we stopped by a spanish piazza and it was so pretty. the work that must have gotten into these must have just been so hard. next we walked. ha. but then we got to one of my most favorite places. the trevvi fountain! (picture at the top) that place was cool. there weren't that many people there. but a lot. i got some pictures. (don't worry mom, i've been taking pics and i'm in some of them) and the best part, i got to make a wish and throw a coin in the fountain. it was great.

next place we went was the panthenon. we were walking down this little alley when, bam, there it was. it was amazing. a true roman buliding. it was everything that i imagined it would be. the inside was just beautiful. gorgeous paintings and sculptures. thats how the whole city is. there are baliscas everywhere with just some amazing artwork adn architecture. there are also little fountians and sculptures and all the town plazas. they are just so pretty.

i also bought my first souviners today. a really cool italy jacket that says "italia" on it. its blue and i love it. i also got sam's present. ;) but i bought this little poster for my room of audrey hepburn and gregory peck on a scooter in rome. its a ad for their movie "roman holiday" and its all in italian. i love it so much. if you haven't seen that movie go and rent it. its a keeper.

well, i got my first of many gelatos yesterday. my goodness, it was so divine. i got coconut, and it was just so good. holy cow, i've never tasted anything better. i think thats where i'm headed is the gelato shop. ha yea!

to sum it up i love italy so much. the best place in the world. i can't believe i still have so much time left. ciaobella!

italian word of the day- grazie (grat-zie) one of the words i use a lot. means thank you.

italy...

2008-05-26T09:40:00.000-07:00

so i decided to write a little more. italy is wonderful. the plane ride. . .not so much. i got really sick and it just feels horrible. worst headache ever. but my second cousin bonnie who i'm staying with helped me and i'm feeling a little better. i'm staying in a cute little apartment like the one above, and its really pretty. later tonight we're going to walk around, eat gelato, and eat dinner. tomorrow the sight seeing begins. yea!! i'm super excited to see everything. well, ciao!

Buenosera!

2008-05-26T09:34:00.000-07:00

well, i made it! its so pretty and wonderful. more to come soon.

LIGHT!!

2008-05-14T21:22:00.000-07:00

So i'm in this performing group called LIGHT and its amazing. The people in it are my best friends and will be forever and ever. The kids in it are amazing and wonderful!! I'm so blessed to be a part of such a great group. It costs a lot of money and i have no time for anything else but it is so incredible, its worth it all. We are always doing performances and firesides and they are so fun and great. You should try and come. This group has made me who I am today. The spirit is always there and it is so strong and amazing. I hope you all can come to a performance or fireside and be truly enlightened!! :)

* the first picture is us in Branson Missouri in our fireside outfits.

* the second one is in Independence and it was amazing because we got to sing there and it was beautiful.

After watching my mom and half the ward blogging i decided to join the blogging world!!

So today is Mothers Day. First off, I have to thank my mom for all that she has done for me! Shes amazing, incredible, wonderful and so much more!! Thank you mom for all that you do for me.

I love mothers day. thank you to all the women in my life. you are all examples of great women. Amy, Laura, Megan,(that's just the beginning) i love you all!!

personally, I can't wait to be a mother. its always been my dream to have a HUGE family with like, 10 kids. i watch movies like "Cheaper By The Dozen" and i think that looks so much fun. i love the little girls in the ward and i just am so drawn to them. i can't wait to have some of my own.(but not for a loooong time) i am one of those people that have planned out everything, from my kids names to the color of my future kitchen. yes, I'm a dork. today in young women's, our lesson was about preparing to go to the temple, and i defiantly can't wait. that will be the best day of my life. sister McDowell gave an amazing talk today that really touched me. i can't wait until I'm a mother.
