Dance and Choir

Life Right Now

I didn't realize how long it has been since I have written. Well everyone, I'm still alive and doing fairly well. This past week we have had region speech. Kylie and I took 3rd in Public Forum. So we are going to state. I also qualified in congress, which is pretty funny considering I was put in 5 minutes before we got to Duchesne, and I didn't know what I was doing. It was great.

I ended up dropping my math 1060 class. Lets just say it wasn't going so hot.

Sandra Swasey has been up and about. She has come into the store several times. It's been great to see her.

Well we got a new bishop and councillors. Bryon Richardson is the bishop. Rob Gordon is the 1st councilor and Yankton Johnson is the 2nd councilor. We sure know how to break them in. Within their first week we had 2 funerals. They were sad. I'm so thankful for the Gospel. I know I will get to see these great people again.

I am pretty positive that I will go to CEU. They are paying me full tuition. Got to love Sterling Scholar.

Hope all is going well with everyone!!

Feel Goods

Well in the past week I have had to really wonderful feel good moments. The first came last Monday. We had a work party at LC Ranch. Dough was able to bring Sandra. It is so nice to see her going again! I guess I'll think anything is better than what I saw of her this past summer. I have to tell you about a funny moment I had there. So Doug was coming around to all of the tables asking everyone where there spouce was or where their partners were. So he gets to me and asks, "Where's your partner Mandy?" I looked up at Doug and said, "I'm not Mandy, but she doesn't have one either." You could see the wheels turning in his head. Then he asked me if I was Megan. I told him no again that I was not Meg. Then he asked me who I was. I smiled and told him I was the youngest. Perplexed he asked Sandra who I was. First she said Connie because that's who Dough pointed to. Doug told her no. Then he said Beth's youngest. Now I believe Sandra was saying my name. Everyone else thought she was saying "can't see." So Doug brought her over and she said my name. I looked up and Doug and said, "See, she remembers my name. What's your excuse?" It was pretty funny!
My other feel good moment came this morning. During choir practice Sally came in. She took a couple of minutes and talked to us. She told us how thankful she was that we went to go and sing to her dad, my neighbor Ralf. She started to cry and told us that was all he could talk about last night. He stayed up and talked to her. She said it definitely cheered him up! This made me feel great about myself.
Last but not least I would like to say I am very proud of my choir. We are so amazing. Tomorrow we have the opportunity to sing to Sandra and at the Capitol Theatre as a pre-show to The Nutcracker. I am so excited. I guess a better word would be ecstatic. I know that if we perform as well as we did yesterday, it will be simply amazing!

Birthday WIshes

Thank-you all for all the birthday wishes and presents. It's amazing to think that I'm 18 now. Guess that means no more illegal stuff.... ;)

For my birthday I got a ton of things. Charla gave me a watch. Family gave me a shirt and sweater, jewlery, and lots of books. Carol gave me a Sound of Music barbie, Sound of Music collectors plates, a Sound of Music pop-up book, a DVD/Blueray/Book of Sound of Music, and my Y.W. leader Amy gave me some icing and the book A Christmas Bell for Anya. So I got a lot of great things. I bought myself a present. I got Wait Until Dark on DVD. Gotta love the classics!

Anna, I hope you birthday was as great as mine!!

Happy Birthday to all birthdays in December!!

Everything

Wow, time is just flying by. Sound of Music is over, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now I have to fill out scholarships and apply for school. Amazing how fast things have come and gone.
School is going well. I was so proud of myself. In me Chemistry 1010 class I passed with a B. Then in my FCHD(another college class) I passed with an A. It made my day when I was looking.
Choir is great. On the 18th of December we get to sing at the Capitol Theatre for a pre-show to The Nutcracker. I am so excited.
I finally found a movie for Christmas. Sorry all, I would tell but some people actually read this blog who will be playing the game.
Thanksgiving was great! It was so small. There was only Aunt Ann, Uncle Lee, Avan, Anna, Nathan and Marcy with their kids, Aunt Mary and Uncle Boyd, and us. As most years the rolls were my favorite. Along with the desserts. Junction was fun. Found myself some things.
Sound of Music was fun! Those who missed it missed out, or so I'm told. I can't believe it's over. The last night I got a standing ovation. That made me feel good. I can honestly say I am very relieved it's over. If you would like to see some pics go on over to Carol's blog. She posts everything.
Hope all goes well for everyone in the next few weeks!!

The Sound Of Music

So I am quite terrible at writing on this blog. Especially when it comes to current things. Altamont High School is doing the play The Sound Of Music. I think you should all totally come and watch me. I have the part of Maria. It should be interesting. We put it on November 18-22.
Hope to see everyone there.

The Lion King

This past Wednesday I went and saw The Lion King at Capitol Theater in SLC. Oh my gosh it was the best and the most amazing show I have ever seen. The costumes were incredible. The scene changes were so fast. If I had all the money in the world I would totally go see it again. If you ever have the chance to go it is so worth all the money for the tickets!
I will have to say Zazo had some funny lines. They had closed the curtains and Zazo was on our side. This was right before the song I Just Can't Wait To Be King. Anyway he's all freaking out because he can't see or find Simba and Nala. He keeps saying their names like a hysterical lunatic. Then he says, "This wasn't in the cartoon." So funny. The other line that made me laugh hard was right after the curtain closed for the same song. Zazo is looking at the curtain and remarks, "This looks like a shower curtain from Target" (Ann the way he said it totally made me think of you).
