My English Post I rather enjoyed!!

Have you ever been really emotional about a certain something because it means so much to you, that it has literally become your whole life. Well when I look at this picture I receive that exact feeling. Dancing is a piece of my life I feel if were ripped away Im not sure what I would do. It lives inside of me, when I slip on my ballet slipper and touch a toe upon the wood floor looking into my reflection gazing back from all sides, I lose myself in the moment, its a whole new world where all that matters is the music playing and how your body feels and reacts to the sounds allowing your mind to wonder freely, becoming only what you will allow yourself to be. Have you ever just dreamed yourself into that certain something wishing that it was all nothing, but reality forever. Just like a love for dance, I hope to find that one true prince charming love to share with me all the things in life I so cherish. Love can be just like a dance. It's like that day you walk into your very first ballet class, you don't no what to expect, yet you slip your shoes on and swing open the door just preparing yourself for the hour ahead, after you get started and you learn how difficult learning ballet is you don't' want to come back next time, and don't think you will ever try again. Yet something about the class makes you not able to stay away a slow addiction to the princess like feelings you feel as you stand in that studio. Like love we may meet the one person we feel will impact our lives and are so excited to begin the journay of that relationship, but as you get into it you find there are certain things about this person that just drive you up the wall and some more serious then others. As you struggle getting past them and trying to work them out you find yourself asking if this person is really worth or if you should just move on. Excpet when it is that mr. or ms. right, then you can't just move on, something about that person makes you love them despit the annoying things. So after you have returned to your dance class and it has now become a weekly habbit for years you find yourself wishing for no other life and all you dream about each day is that chance to step inside that studio and lay everything out forgetting the world for a short period of time, you know the moves and music so well that you no longer alway's look to the teacher to know what to do, but follow your heart and the flow of the music taking one step at a time. Love can be so simple yet so complicted it can take years before you know all the steps, the most wonderful part though is you are no longer doing the dance alone, you have grown and now have a partner standing beside you learning a whole new type of dance together. It will be rough and bummpy, sometimes you one will want to quite but the other will be strong and slow down allowing the other to catch up and truly understand. One day you will be that beautiful couple standing in your final pose taking in the amazing journey that has been taken, having that last dance together.

Time in a Flying Machine.

Well Oh my goodness it's almost already Christmas again.... I can't believe it, I just had Christmas last year a few day's ago ;) But things are moving quickly and I am having fun right now, I have been adjusting to life after volleyball. I did physical therapy for a few weeks to heal my ankle when I finally got done I was able to start dance again last week which was wonderful I missed it too much. I have been to a basketball game and that was entertaining lots of people to socialize with. Im keeping busy with starting to plan prom, graduation, and all the senior parties. Though I having fun with it this time Im starting way in advance and I have exciting ideas, and this time Im doing things right I will involve other people by starting committes. College is stressing me out a bit, I have lots of scholarships to continue doing though I already have turned in quite a few, then I am trying to work things out with Idaho State Universtiy right now but they are being kind of a pain to work with, really slow about informing me on all the nessicities. But in the next two day's I will be heading down to Nevada with ALL my family and I am so excited I get to see my brother and sister-in law I haven't seen in way to long and then all the sisters and grandparents will be there :)

Senior Year.....WHAT!!

Well this is my Senior year, and Yes it is starting to sink in everything but yet I still feel so excited for the opportunities to head off to college. I won't come quite that easily though because I have to get through this year, which is fun and deserves all my attention. I think I got through the biggest week of my life by making it past homecoming week. I have never planned so much in my life. There was constant work to be done, we did a saltine cracker slap for our kick off assembly and it went really good, then we had a volleyball game of boy's soccer verses boy's football I got to coach the boy's soccer..hehe that was lots of fun. We had a lot of activities during lunch like the rootbeer chug and senior lost because a boy wouldn't step up to do it, and we had stick savors licking gummy life savors and sticking them on a person's face. There was our volleyball breast cancer game and we dressed up in all pink shirts and socks, but ended up lossing our game. Then of course the Powder Puff game and wow that was too fun I didn't get killed and that's a benefit I also played quite a bit, I was proud of how much I learned about football it means a little more to me now, though I still love the quote "soccer is for boy's, football is for whimps, rugby is for men" !! Our homecoming football game was fun because all the seniors from last year came and it was awesome to talk to all of them again. Though we lost the game :( For the dance I had my first expereince setting and decorating which didn't go the smoothest it could have but its alright, I learned my lessons and am preparing much better for prom. I didn't get asked to homecoming this year but It didn't bother me to much, Im just going with the flow on the whole boy thing, I have lots of good guy friends that I enjoy hanging out with, and NOW there all leaving on missions which is hard to believe but so exciting! Everything else in school is keepign me very busy vollebyall season was time consuming but after all was said and done I just don't know what ot do with myself. The heartbreaker was on districts day within the first ten minutes of the first game I rolled my ankle badly on top of a girls foot, and I was in so much pain I was taken to the doctor and got it x-rayed but thankfully found out it was just a bad sprain and I tore a ligament but I have to wear a brace for a month or so. It was so hard not to play in my last couple of games though, I wanted to be there so badly. I have turned in my first two college applications one to Idaho State University and another to University of Idaho, and am working on filling out scholarships like a mad women. Im not sure what exactly I will do but Im putting together all that I can and come towards the end of the year I can look at it all and figure out where I feel I need and should be!

From School, to Summer!!

Well its been a while...wow life has been full and AMAZING. The end of the school year came very very quickly and Graduation was amazing I had a slight difficult time seeing all those awesome close friends leaving but I knew that I would see them and that this was a huge new step in life. Before the year ended, I became the Senior Class President (which I am very excited for), The President of National Honors Society, joined the debate team, and Had an awesome time at all the end of the year activities such as Prom, the huge water party we had outside back of the highschool. There was a large water slide and many water balloons. Then summer came and WOW, who knew how fast and busy things would be. I started right off with Piano camp for a week at ISU which was a LOT of hard work and constant playing but i really feel like I improved tons and it was a great experience. Then the next week I left Sunday morning at 4 am for Girls State at the University in Nampa. What an opportunity to learn about goverment for a whole week I did campaigning which I lost every position I ran for the big one I did was U.S House Representative, but I won the Primary and Lost the General but just slightly it was close. Then I took a goverment class where I learned about all the different terms and presidents and so forth. We had a chance to break up into House and Senete and we debated bills which was the best part it was sooo fun, my bill made it past the transportation committe but never showed up in House because we had like 96 bills but I have a feeling it would have passed. So the entire week I got no sleep I stayed up usually till about two writting speeches reading and all kinds of things, but I also made some of the best friends in the WORLD they became my family and I have still been keeping in good contact. After that i have been at home working on ACT prep and studying, hanging out with friends, I have been out swimming and went boating with Collin for the first time it was a blast, he taught me to water ski, but I never got up and stayed up, I got up several times but it was really hard. The fun part was tubbing WOW it was a total blast, one occasion his dad got us going sooo fast that i litterally bounced off collin which killed my hip but probably hurt his had and then did like a cart wheel in the water with my long legs flyin hahahah!!

Day 5 of Christmas Break!

Today was finally Christmas aaahhh and I was up bright eyed and bushy tailed at about seven!! I got up and got dress but it was still early so I usuallly open my stocking to help put off opening present until everyone was awake. Then my dad who also was awake stopped and said I needed to wait for mom to look inside, so instead I just go into her room and literally jump on her waking her and saying "ITS CHRISTMAS, COME ON", she then after a couple minutes walked into the living room dead, and I did my stocking. We then had a really good family breakfeast and cleaned up the kitchen! The best part had come the opening of presents everyone had at least one except me who had a few others. It was a very laid back, relaxed, simple christmas but i decided those are the best. It was a wonderful day, and latter that night Vicky and Chuck came and we enjoyed some visting time and playing games but when the Monopoly game we started was finally down to just my dad and I Chuck decided to be a hassel and I ended up lossing he kept teasing me about being a bad bussiness women!

Day 4 of Christmas Break

Today has been a wonderful day. When everyone was up and ready we did all of our menu and food planning for the day creating a list then going shopping for everything. Grandma, mom and I all walked down to the Gorcery store (which I love being able to walk basically anywhere in this town), and dad and grandpa made the trip to the Post Office. We all did some reading, relaxing, and for me napping for the afternoon, then the fun started we did some work and cooking in the kitchen and while doing that grandma, grandpa, and I played Monopoly which I love playing any kind of games. Though to my surprise grandma and grandpa were really good at the game and were the winners. We had a wonderful carefully made dinner for the evening then sat down to watch a movie together. A new tradition I think Iwant to start is reading the Christmas Story on Chrsitmas Eve and hopefully I can pass it on to my own family one day. When I do have my own family I want to create new and different traditions! Tomorrow is CHRISTMAS, I can't wait, I don't think I will sleep at all tonight and then I also sleep out in the living room so Santa is going to have to be sneaky to get past me :)

Day 3 of Christmas Break!

Today was an even EARLIER morning everyone in the house was up showered and had eaten by nine HOLY COW. Then we all decided to go into St. Geroge, Utah which is about an hour drive to do some shopping. We first went to Costco and grandpa was so funny his favorite part and the only way grandma says she can get him in there with her is all the food sampling tables throughout the store :) We then headed over to the mall and did some quick yet satisfying shopping for clothing. Afterwards we all went to grandpas favorite eating place Chuck Arama.
