Hello Everyone! So I'm really behind on the blogging..... I've just been so incredibly busy between performances, and finals and such that there has been absolutely no time. So here I am, ready to fill you in on all the details of my life as a dance major here in LA. I'm warning you this may be a long post, but a quality one at that.
Since my last post I've had the chance to perform in the Dance Company Show here at AMDA. My friend Destiny came to me during workshop and asked me if I would be willing to let her choreograph a solo for me to the poem P.O.W by Alicia Keys. I of course said yes and as soon as we got back from Christmas break we started working on it. Well, the show we were originally trying it out for ended up getting cancelled, but I was then invited to perform with the Dance Company because they liked the piece so much! It was a super awesome experience performing with such talented artists and I can't wait until I get to perform with them again.
This lovely girl Josie along with some more of my dancer friends here at AMDA joined me for The Cheesecake Factory for my birthday dinner! It was super fun getting all dressed up and going out with the people I love hanging out with the most. Plus, it was super nice to go out and get away from all the craziness of finals and demos.
The picture below is of me and my best girl Daly before I headed to the airport. Just figured I would give her a lovely shoutout and I really like this picture so it's a win win.
The picture above is of the first semester advanced tap class. We've gotten super close as a class this semester and have just had a full on super awesome time in class together. We did out final demo to the song Brave by Sara Barielles, and not going to lie... it was totally and completely awesome. We basically just went out there for our demo and were like Boom. Done. The End. Needless to say, our demo got great feedback and moved onto division demos.
So, over the past couple of weeks it's been a little crazy in my life, so I asked my dad if he would send me to Utah for a weekend and he said yes! Well, I was on the phone with my best friend Landon and found out that he was also in Utah and right then and there we decided that we were spending every minute together for the entirety of my stay. He picked me up from the airport, we surprised a bunch of people, went to temple square, watched movies, had a birthday party, and more. Overall it was a weekend we both really needed for a variety of reasons. I really didn't realize how much I missed that guy until I got to Utah. SO incredibly happy I got to spend the entire weekend with that guy. So incredibly happy.
While in Utah, my niece Eden made a new friend with Landon. She was so totally convinced that he was my brother..... which was pretty funny. But at least she knows he's got her back. :) This is them playing IPad Saturday morning before Landon and I left to BYU.
We went to church with Shyla and Russell and Landon decided that we were moving in as new members of the ward. This is what he filled out. Apparently I'm married to Optimus Prime and Albert Einstein is my child. haha.
Landon also has a really I wouldn't say bad habit.... more like entertaining habit of just falling asleep. I kind of wish I had that capability. This is him sleeping while I'm getting my life together Sunday night before I left. I don't blame him for sleeping though.... we didn't sleep like at all for the entire time I was there. No worries he woke up eventually and took me to the airport Monday morning. He's such a trooper. :)
Overall the past couple of weeks have been super exciting. I finished all my finals and now I'm just looking forward to seeing my two older sisters this weekend for our first annual sisters trip. Cymbre will join such adventures once she graduates high school. The first trip is to visit me here in Cali and then who knows where. I really can't wait to see them. They're pretty much my most favorite in the history of forever.
Hope you all have a fantastic week! Love and Miss you all!
