THE BEST TEAM EVER!

So Being on this team has been the best experience ever! I have learned so much since I have been here. The thing I love the most about this team is that you can just feel the love everyone has for each other, there are no judgments, meanness, or drama... I love it! When I dance on this team I feel a certain spirit that can't be found elsewhere, and it makes me feel my saviors love =) Anyway these are just some random pictures taken a while ago, I'll hopefully have ones from the past 5 shows up soon, woohoo!

Welcome to the good life...

2010-03-13T23:28:00.001-08:00

Wow ok so I have not updated my blog in quite a long time... and A LOT has changed, so here we go =) Well I am currently a freshman at BYUI, I absolutely love it here! Today we had our last Extravadance show it was awesome! It has been a pretty winter and now hopefully the snow will melt soon... all my classes are going well, except things would be a lil easier if I was good at math haha. I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the world, and I'm so lucky to have him in my life, he's truly amazing =) The one thing thats hard is not being able to be around my family and old friends I miss them dearly, things just aren't the same without them, but hey we all have to take that step that helps us grow right? So besides missing my loved ones I truly am having the time of my life, I've made wonderful friends who have been there for me whenever I need them, and I have been able to finally been able to spend time with Ian regularly, I'm so glad we are out of the long distance thing right now... its gonna suck when we are apart again but it will be worth it =) alright it is now my bed time and im exhausted so I am going to turn on I love Lucy and go to sleep. Sorry it's been so long my friends love and miss you all!!! xoxo gn

SO THIS PAST WEEK HAS BEEN PRETTY AWESOME! SO IT STARTED OUT AFTER DANCE, WITH A SUPER FUN ADVENTURE WITH MY BEST FRIEND MELISSA, WHEN WE FOUND OUR SECRET SPOT... IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO PEACEFUL. THERE WERE FLOWERS EVERYWHERE AND A CUTE LITLE LOG, ACTUALLY IT WASN'T LITTLE BUT ANYWAY WE

HAD SO MUCH FUN :) THEN FOR FOR THE 4TH OF JULY I WENT WITH MELISSA AND HER FAMILY TO OCEAN SHORES AND SHE PRETTY MUCH SLEPT ON MY LAP AND MADE MY LEG FALL ASLEEP FOR THE WHOLE CAR RIDE ;) JK. IT WAS SO NICE TO HANG OUT ON THE BEACH AND RELAX. P.S. THE FIREWORKS WERE INSANE!!! THEN ME AND MY FRIENDS FROM MY BRANCH WENT TO EATONVILLE FALLS EARLY IN THE MORNING FOR P-DAY BECAUSE ONE OF OUR FAVORITE MISSIONARIES (ELDER HUNT) WAS GOING HOME THE NEXT DAY, HE'S SUCH AN AMAZING PERSON! AND THEN ME AND MY FRIENDS TOOK HIM AND THE OTHER MISSIONARIES TO A PARK AND SURPRISED HIM WITH SLIP N SLIDES WITH PUDDING INSTEAD OF WATER HA AND DECIDED IT WOULD BE FUN TO ATTACK HIM WITH PAINT (PAINT BOTTLES, AND WATER BALLOONS FILLED WITH PAINT, YA KNOW THE WORKS) IT WAS CARZY!!! BUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH WE REALLY LOOKED RETARDED... HERE WE ARE FREEZING OUTSIDE IN THE MORNING SOAKED IN PUDDING AND PAINT AND THEN WE ASKED THIS NICE LADY IF WE COULD USE HER HOSE TO CLEAN OFF HA. WOW. ANYWAY AFTER ALL THE CRAZINESS, WE ALL WENT TO THE TACOMA, WA MISSIONARY TRANSFER MEETING, IT WAS SO INSPIRING TO SEE ALL THESE YOUNG MEN AND HEAR THEIR TESTIMONIES, IT WAS SO AMAZING. TRUE HAPPINESS.

SUN? OR RAIN?

2009-06-26T23:58:00.000-07:00

So... summer is here. The wild flowers are blooming once again, the sun is shining, kids are playing, there's ice cream and popsicles, cute little bugs come out to play, the birds are out flying, people say "what more could you ask for?" WELL... hmmm... "lets see?" Besides the sun that shines in my face so i can't see and gives me a headache and makes me sleepy, or the kids that decide to run out in the middle of the road after the ice cream truck, or all of the lovely insects that try to attack me, along with their lovely friends the "devil birds" as I like to call them that love to wake me up nice and early... yeah;) ummm... I WANT A RAIN STORM. Sun sun go away come back another day. But... I have to remind myself "Happiness is a CHOICE" so I'm going to choose to be happy :) haha so I'm done complaining the fact is... that I truly love my life. There are so many new things that I seem to learn in life every day. And realize just how much I have to be grateful for: My family, who I am starting to understand more and more every day and see just how much they love me. I feel so lucky to have been blessed with them as my family, they truly are amazing people. I'm also so lucky for my wonderful friends that are ALWAYS there for me, and encourage me to be the best I can be. I have learned so much from them and they are amazing role models. I love my happy little puppy that makes me smile every morning, and my cozy bed i get to wake up in, and for my scriptures that bring so much joy and happiness, and for my heavenly father who is there for me... in my head all day :) always wanting me to be my best. I love you all and hope you're enjoying your wonderful summer. xoxo

THE WONDERFULLY AWKWARD TUESDAY...

2009-03-05T12:28:00.000-08:00

Tuesday was a very interesting day for me. It was very emotional... hopeful, sad, happy, curious, nervous, peaceful, concerned, confident, content, weird, and loved. All of these things I felt over an 8 1/2 hour talk. This talk reminded me that I always need to be open-minded, open-hearted, with a contrite spirit. I feel so comfortable with my faith, and love in the gospel, and question after question, that doesn't change. With the gospel comes such a wonderful peace that nothing else could ever fill. As I was talking to a wise lady she said, " Your faith journey is a never-ending winding road, you will make mistakes, and you will learn lessons. " Then a wise man said, " I believe you have found God... and I do not judge anyone that is searching for the truth, just remember to follow Jesus." When these things were said there were many things running through my mind. I could have looked at this almost like a slap in the face, but what they are saying is absolutely true. And the biggest feeling I received was happiness. Because I know that I HAVE found the truth, because I HAVE followed Jesus, and I did let them know that. Any way after our long, extremely draining talk, we were able to respect one another, and wanted this conversation to continue. I am so thankful that God has given me people to help me understand things, to make me feel loved, and to strengthen my testimony. All of my wonderful friends that are reading this, know that I love you SO much! Which is probably like 2-3 of you haha. I hope you have a wonderful day... know that you're loved xoxo

THE WONDERFUL CHAD :)

NEW YEARS EVE!!!

2009-01-02T19:50:00.000-08:00

So New years eve was pretty much amazing!!! Better than i thought it would be actually. I went over to Chad's house around six, then me, him, and his family went out to dinner. nummy! Then we went back to his house Nikky came over, and brought Chelsey, and Chelsey's sister... ya they did not wanna be there ha. oh ya then we watched the stupidest video of me and nikky, because nikky just happened to have it in her purse, wow that was embarrassing... anyway then we went to the YSA dance at the fairgrounds it was so much fun!!! I'm not gonna li i was a lil worried at first because right when we got there this guy was singing a rap about elders and brother, ya a lil scary but it was funny... (thats when chelsey and her sister left) haha but anyway after the "SUPER COOL" rap the dance was way fun, i met some new friends and hung out with some old friends... oh ya and this guy, his name was Riker asked me if I wanted to swing dance with him, and I told him I didn't know how to swing dance...ha. so he taught me a few things and I actually got the hang of it, it was so much fun :) After alot of dancing me and nikky had to leave at 11:00 so we could be at home with our family at 12:00. I went home and Melissa came over and me, her, and hannah (my cuz) made cupcakes at 1 in the morning, it was a lot of fun, and they turned out really good, we ended up going to bed about 3:00, and all of us smushed in my bed, but that wasn't a problem I've had 5 in my bed before ha. but anyway over all I had a great New years Eve!!!I hope all of you had a good new years, and have a wonderful year!!! love you friends!!! xoxo.

So I received my letter from Nikky, in the mail yesterday and I just had to take a picture of it. Yep this is just one of the crazy reasons why she's my best friend :) Thank you so much, it put a huge smile on my face!

Notice the little flower in the middle, ya that was a very long scroll that unraveled, HA, (filled with TINY writing) it was so long, only my best friend would think of that, and at first to be honest I was thinking, "hmmm... Thats not like Nikky to write so little..." but OH NO I was so right I just hadn't realized the book that she wrote in the mystery flower, haha. xoxo.

And thats besides the fact that I can't go to sleep either:) Liz let me just tell you how thankful I am to have you in my life, I'm so glad you're a part of my life... you're always there to talk to, and help me with everything and anything (even at 1:00 in the morning) ha, I can't thank you enough. You always have a way of cheering me up and making me laugh, even when I don't want to. You are also very good at making a joke out of a not funny situation, HA. Even though it always cheers me up and makes me laugh. So thanks I guess :) No but seriously I think you are an amazing person, and I love you so much. And I really dont know what I'd do without you. I hope you have a super-fantastic-wonderful-happy day thanks again. Oh and ps- sorry about worrying you, my bad... I promise I won't do that again xoxo. ttyl.

I miss seeing her smiley face in aerobics everyday, and whenever one of my friends doesn't wait for me when im doing somethings this is the girl that always come to mind. "Melissa woul've waited for me:)" haha. and thats because she's a good friend... ahh i miss saying that, it's funny cuz sometimes ill wait for someone and they'll be like "oh you dont have to wait" and ill be like "oh its ok, im a good friend" ha and then they just look at me like wow ur really full of yourself, haha...oops. I need to like not say that around other people, because then i feel like i owe them an explanation, but i never wanna talk about because it makes me sad, and makes me miss her even more. anyway i know im rambling on, but ya i really dont care, j/k kinda. but ya I do know that this girl will always be a part of my life, and that our friendship is different for some reason, and it WILL last forever. Melissa I love you so much you're one of my bestfriends, and i'm sure ill talk to you soon. Kepp having fun in college, xoxo. peace and love.

I MISS MY BEST FRIEND :(

2008-10-03T00:05:00.000-07:00

Ok so I miss my best friend... although I'm happy shes having fun. When she first got to University of Oregon she told me she was concerned about her dorm, haha, and that it was really small and dull :( Here's a picture of it when she first arrived...

Ya, anyway so after seeing that picture I was scared for her to, ha, but knowing Nikky I knew she would find some way to make it fun, bright, and annoying, haha. I'm only kidding (kinda, haha) no... she made it really cute, I think she jazzed it up pretty nicely :) So anyway looks like things are going pretty well... I love you...ps (you need to make a new post, so I dont have to, haha) xoxo.

PERFORMING

SCHOOL FRIENDS

GIRL ALL-NIGHTERS

SNOW

FOOTBALL SEASONS LOOKING GOOD

2008-09-26T23:18:00.000-07:00

So this a picture of Tony and his best friend, Gannon... Tony's on the right, isn't he ADORABLE. I think so :) So tonight I went to his Game they played Spanaway, they were awesome, they won 40 to 7. So far they are undefeated, and doing just great, they have an amazing team. Well anyway I ended getting there a little late because I had to teach, and it was SO crowded so I didn't know where Tony's family was sitting, but it was all good because then Scansen (my old aerobics teacher) called me to see if I was at the game cause she wanted someone to stand with, haha. So we chilled and just talked the whole game. I mean of course only at the time outs I was totally focusing and into the game, I mean I don't even know, haha. Ya not so much but I do have to say watching Tony out on the field is always fun :) Any way I just thought I would brag about my beyond AMAZING boy, who I love so dearly, haha. Off to bed, peace and love.

MY ENDLESS SCRAPBOOK...

2008-09-20T17:15:00.000-07:00

MY FAVORITE SHOW

2008-09-20T15:07:00.000-07:00

Ok so don't judge me but my all time favorite show is the Sing Along Let's Go to the Circus... it's AMAZING! Any way one of my favorite scenes from this show is in this clip, and I love the whole show, but if You're not interested in the dancing/singing monkeys, or the trapeze guys in their cute little tights, haha you can fast forward to 4:15 that is where the best part starts. I love watching this show... it brings back so many memories. I watched it with my Dad all the time, and we would try to copy them, and then if it didn't work out... we'd do what we could, and then create our own cool tricks, haha. But for real this video has inspired me so much, and at a young age made me realize what comes out of hard work, and practicing. I dedicate this video to my Dad, xoxo. I love you with all my heart, and you've made me who I am today :) Thanks for being the amazing Dad you are, and getting me this show when I was little, haha.

THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

2008-09-19T00:05:00.000-07:00

This past saturday I was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and then confirmed sunday. It was the happiest day of my life. Tony baptized me, and I had my wonderful family there, as well as many friends. During my baptism Liz gave a beautiful talk, that I'm pretty sure had every person in the room crying. Kelsey Pollard sang a very pretty song, and Christy played the piano. and everything was so, well just beyond perfect, I couldn't imagine it going any better. My loving family surrounded me with smiles and made this day so special for me. Im so lucky to have them as my family. I also have amazing friends, A loving boyfriend, my best friend (Nikky) and our sister Jessica xoxo, Liz (who flew up here just for me), and many others, some I didn't even know about. This day was so extremely special, probably the best day of my life, actually it was the best day of my life. It was such a blessing, and I will never forget the feeling I had that day, and that feeling has only continued to grow stronger day by day. I won't go into detail about my feelings about my baptism or confirmation... because it's a little too deep, for computer talk :) But lets just say this is the best decision I've ever made in my life, it has made me stronger, and happier than I have ever been :) xoxo. Peace and Love.

ONE MORE DAY

2008-09-12T11:55:00.000-07:00

Alright I thought I would share with you all, just how happy I am. I am SO excited for tomorrow, it truly is ridiculous. Tomorrow I get baptized, It's going to be an amazing day, I'm counting down the minutes. It's going to be such a special day, and I'm so thankful for everyone that is coming, (even though a few are missing) I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. Tonight I'm going to pick up Liz from the airport, I'm so excited that she's coming, it means so much to me that she would come all the way up here just for me (for the second time)... She's brave, haha. I think tomorrow will be a day that none of us will forget, and I am so unbelievably ready to spread my wings and fly, and embark on this new journey. I also just wanted to touch a little bit on my family I'm so blessed that they are supporting me, and wanting to be involved with my baptism, it means the world to me. They're the best parents anyone could ask for, I love them so much! I think to tomorrow will be one of the best days of my life, and I'm so anxious for the morning to come. I also forgot to add that my amazing beyond wonderful boyfriend, will be baptizing me, it's going to be so special, I love him so much, and it just makes this day even more special :) Wish me luck. ( Something will probably pop up, and we'll have to do it again, ha.) xoxo.

IM GONNA MISS THIS GIRL

2008-08-30T21:47:00.000-07:00

Ok so today I went up to Melissa's Lakehouse, we had so much fun. I'm gonna miss her so much when she leaves, and goes to Western :( Today we went on a boat ride, and she drove... it really scared me, haha. Anyway then she convinced me to go on the rope swing, OMG, ya I don't even know what happened there, ha. Lets just say I have absolutely no upper-body strength, it's truly rediculous. Then her and her dad were telling me I just didn't have the right grip... ya i didn't think so, haha. I looked rediculous :) It was embarrassing. But besides that lovely part of the day, We went into the sauna because we were freezeing and we just talked, it was very relaxing. Oh ya we also played egyptian rat screw, she kicked my butt, but that's alright cuzz then I beat her 5 times at yahtzee, haha. It was really funny. Anyway overall we had just a great/interesting day. Her family was really nice, and we had fun being retarded together, as always. I love her so much, it's gonna be so hard not to see her smiley face everyday. We have had so much fun getting to know eachother this past year, and now we have to go our seperate ways, I don't know what I'm gonna do with out her :( But it's all gonna be ok cuz we're gonna be pen pals, haha. Well here's to a wonderful day, I love ya girl... and we're always gonna be friends :) Promise.

This is the river where Nikky and I shared the most fantabulous hug, haha. It's pretty so I thought I would show a picture of it :)

THE DEFINITION OF A GOOD DAY

2008-08-28T16:09:00.000-07:00

So last night me and my best friend shared an interesting evening, to say the least. But overall I think we had a good night. So today we woke up and decided to go on a bike ride, on the Orting trail. Before we turned back around to go to lunch we decided to stop at one of my favorite places, along the river. We sat on a log for quite a while, then decided for some retarded reason to go walk across the river... yes in our clothes, ha. Don't ask :) Any way we went about half way and it was really slippery so we thought it might be a good idea to stop and go back before we both fell, and got completely soaked. Before we turned around we shared the most amazing hug... I mean who can say they have hugged their best friend in the middle of a river, haha... that was Nikky's idea :) After our 13 mile bike ride we shared a turkey sandwich, and it was really funny because a song that she had given me once (when I was going through some hard times) was on the radio which happened to be right next to our table (what a coincidence) and that was just weird, I don't even know ;) But there was def. an awkward silence and we both just started laughing... oh jeeze. The song is called, Are you who you wanna be, and it was also the song she picked to use for after a talk she gave at a retreat. But ya, let's just say... ;) You get it, anyway we also played rock band, of course it's amazing... and p.s. Nikky can't play the drums. :)

MY MOM

2008-08-24T16:52:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of my Mom and me. I love this picture because I think this picture totally captures our relationship. She is always looking over me, and is making sure I am choosing the right choice, and when I look at this picture I can totally see that in her eyes, as well as the all love. I love you Mom, xoxo.

MY DADDY

2008-08-24T16:47:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of my Dad and I, I'm in my sr. ball dress. I would have to say this is one of my favorite pictures of us, and whenever I look at it, it reminds me of our special relationship.

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING

2008-08-24T16:13:00.000-07:00

Okay so I felt I needed to talk a little about my family. Let me just tell you they mean the world to me. They have always been there for me, even at the toughest of times (...and even if they don't agree with me.) I love them with all my heart, I don't know what I would do without them. I'm coming to a point in my life where I'm getting ready to spread my wings and fly, and I know they are going to be the ones who keep me going, and pick me up when I fall. They have helped create who I am today, and have always been a great example for me. I've looked up to them all my life, and will continue to do so forever. Mom and Dad I love you so much :) xoxo.

EATONVILLE FALLS

2008-08-23T19:58:00.000-07:00

Ok so today, I had to babysit my cousins. Idecided to go to Eatonville Falls, and have a picnic. They asked for Tony (my boyfriend, not my dad haha) to be our guide. So Me , Tony, Nikky, Jessica, my brother (Anthony), and my cousins left for the waterfalls. We went swimming, on top of the waterfall, it was freezing :) but we all had alot of fun. My cousins adored Tony, it's really cute, and they both love Nikky and Jessica too. Infact Hannah gave Nikky a ring as a present when we arrived home, and she said, i quote, " this is how much I love Nikky as a friend". How adorable is that? Anyway, overall today was a blast. It was sunny, I was with family, my best friend, and my loving boyfriend...at a crazy waterfall, it doesn't get much better than that. Even though there were a few stressful points throughout the day...these wonderful people seemed to lift my spirits right back up, that's what friends are for, right? Peace and love my friends :)

Addicted to Rock Band

2008-08-21T22:54:00.000-07:00

Okay so tonight Tony and I played Rock Band it was pretty much amazing. Pretty sure it was the coolest game like ever invented. I played to drums and Tony played the guitar. We make a great team ;) Anyway we also played pool he won once, and I won once, but I think he was just being nice and letting me win...but that's not the point...I still won :) So, dinner went surprisingly well, we had shishkabobs (I don't know how to spell that, haha, but we had meat and vegetables on a stick) and chips and salsa, while having conversation with my parents. My parents adore Tony, and think he's awesome, which makes me very happy (since he's gonna be baptizing me, and they don't know yet...yep that's gonna be fun to tell em', ha but ya) Anyway overall tonight was a blast, I love spending time with him, he's my best friend and we can make anything fun together.

SUMMER

2008-08-19T23:25:00.000-07:00

OK so it's been a crazy summer! Interesting, weird, fun, busy, a little stressful, but overall amazing summer. I would have to say its been the most memorable summer of my life, for sure. I have performed my last recitals as a student, and everyone that is important to me was there, and I had the privilege of Liz staying at my house for the week of the show, she was so supportive, and lets just say she changed my life :) After the shows I got the opportunity to be a part the the Celebrity Crew staff, which is a dance competition. When I returned home, I had summer session, and then headed off to Florida for IDC nationals. We did very well, and I had a lot of fun not only at the competition, but enjoying the company of my family and friends in Disney World. After this trip I was home for a few days, which was when the most amazing guy became a part of my life. After two incredible days together, which consisted of a small hike to a river where we sat and talked for hours, and a lovely lunch the next day. It was time for me to leave for Colorado to visit Liz and stay with her, and her family.I was there for 15 days, which was a great break for me. I had an absolutely amazing time. We did yoga, heated yoga, hot yoga (Ya I don't think I'd ever do that again, haha) watch movies, play games, we had a picnic at the Garden of the Gods, we went to church and talked to the missionaries, and over all just talked a lot. When I returned home I stayed with my best friend Nikky, because my family went on a fishing trip in Canada, where my Mom suprisingly caught a 22 Ib. fish! The next few days Tony (That's the amazing guys name :)) and I went hiking at Eatonville Falls, along with Nikky, and we swam on top of a waterfall, and relaxed in the sun, it was a blast. The next day Tony planned a trip for us to go to Ocean Shores. It was awesome, we went skim boarding, boogie boarding, had a picnic on the beach listened to music, and the waves, and just enjoyed each others company :) Now this week is choreography week, and I think our dances are going to be amazing!!! I'm really excited for this coming year. OK I'm done, wow that was a lot, it's been a pretty intense summer. DON'T FORGET TO SMILE :)
