Relaxing.

Thank you comfy clothes for always being there to do homework in when I get home.  You make me smile.

CALlies

Last night I attended my annual high school CALlie awards!  For those of you who don't know the "CAL" in "CALlie" stand for "Change a Life," which is our department's theme.  The CALlies are my high school's version of the Tony's.  It is where people are nominated for and receive awards, perform, and even announce the next year's theater season.  This year I was nominated for a few things, but I took home one award last night, best featured actress, which was amazing. It was a fun way to end the theater year and seeing everyone all dressed up was so great.  I'm going to miss the CALlies and every moment of my high school theater experience.

Relaxing.

Life slowing down towards the end of this school year has been SO nice.  In fact, it almost seems... too nice.  Sometimes I have too much down time!  I have time to actually do what I need done after school and at home and still be in bed at a reasonable hour.  It's incredible!  I guess getting to sleep before the next morning is good for me... so I guess I'll learn to live with the change.

School ends in a little over a week.  Can you believe it?  I can!  I feel good about it, and it feels about time for it to be let go.  It's a bitter-sweet feeling to think about leaving what I love at school, but going on to bigger and better adventure.  I've gotten to know some of my roommates for school, and already I am so stoked to be with them.  I kinda love that I have no idea who I'm living with.  It's like a blind date! ...Except with a year long contract.  It's awesome!  I'm also very excited to be at school with my siblings, which I've never done before because of the age difference.  So I guess it'll be a new adventure for more than just me in my family.  You know what they say... "Let the good times roll!"

Hello All!

Thank you lovely Harmon's Grocery Store for providing the most delicious pineapple I've ever had today.  You just made my weekend!

Senior Dinner Dance

Yesterday I had my last dance concert of High School.  Oh man... I'm going to miss that.  It was so fun!  I was in two pieces:  the first I choreographed (it was about Alzheimer's Disease. Watch it here! ), and the second was a Bollywood number choreographed by my lovely Indian friend Namisha.  It was so fun; all of our hard work paid off and it was a huge success!  Great way to end my high school dancing life.

Below you will see a picture of me and my Bollywood-babe, Namisha, who choreographed with me in the dance concert.  Love you girl!

Today my brother and sister-in-law, Dallin and Mariel, left for DC for the summer.  My brother got an internship down there so they'll be there for a few months.  The stinky part about that is they won't be here for my graduation, my birthday, or my family trip... which is poo.  However, I'm so proud of my brother and very excited for their journey!

I'm cutting my hair!!!  No, I'm not chopping it... but I am doing something kind of different.  I'll have to post a picture afterwards, but only if it turns out!  I'm nervous... I've never really gotten what I want out of a haircut before so I'm scared I'll look so different after.  But I need one because I look like Hagrid, so I'm going to have to buck up and take it like a woman!  Wish me luck!

Later tonight is my Senior Dinner Dance! I'm going with a bunch of girlfriends since it's a "non-date" dance, and we're going to have a ball.  This is the final dance of the year and ONLY for seniors.  Seniority rules! We're going to get all shnazzed up and get some good groovin' on.  I'll make sure I take plenty of pictures!

I Have a New Address for Fall!

Daily Gratitude Shout-Out!

Thanks to the stage crew at my school.  Without them, our show would be nothing! 

The Wedding Singer!

Our wonderful production of The Wedding Singer opens this Thursday and runs through Saturday.  Show starts at 7:00pm, so if you're in the area come and check it out!  It'll be a fun show for a great night out!

More News!

So as I might have mentioned before, I will be attending BYU in the fall.  This is wonderful because it made me eligible for scholarships, of which I received a merit scholarship for Theatre!  How exciting is that!?  On top of that, I finally got my new home for the fall last night! It's crazy. Time flies so fast at the end of your senior year.  I hope with the show opening and all of my senior activities, the rest of my year year will keep moving and all of my final fun days will make it all worthwhile. 

Tah-tah for now!

Catching Up

Daily Gratitude Shout-Out!

"Thank you" goes out to my sister, Brianna, for the fun night we had last night together catching up!  We had dinner together and saw Water for Elephants, which was great.  Love you Bri-Bri!

Where Have I Been? 

Sorry it's been a while!  I was gone for a week in California with my performing arts group.  We performed in Disneyland and took an amazing workshop in Hollywood!  It was a beautiful trip.

After that I've spent this last week staying busy with homework and rehearsals.  Our show opens in about two weeks so rehearsals are getting later and later.  Also, AP and IB testing starts this Tuesday so everyone's been busy prepping for that.

News!

I have so many announcements!  First announcement is that I graduate in a month! Woo!  Speaking of which, I was selected to speak at my graduation which is a huge honor.  I was also accepted to BYU where I will be attending school in the fall and I cannot wait!  I will be rooming with one of my best friends, Clarissa.  Then my brother, Matt, received his mission call to San Diego, CA!  How amazing is that!  I'm so proud and excited for him!

This week...

This week things are going to pick up again as rehearsals go an hour later than usual and my IB testing starts.  I'll try to keep you posted along the way!

Much love!
