A Week of Discoveries

I had a week of discoveries. I discovered a talent and passion. I always knew I loved dancing, but today I had a dance competition. I got 5th in the Waltz competition, and 2nd in the Cha Cha. I had a blast at the competition. Me and my partner started getting into character in the cha cha competiton. We found our positions, and just performed the routine but started to enjoy the dancing instead of just going through the actions.

It was exhilarating. Walking onto the dance floor, there was no cheering crowd, but feeling the butterflies as the music starts. Relaxing and just focusing on smiling and keeping the right timing. Waiting to be called back for the next round. Seeing your number on the call back list, getting back in line, performing again. Then the exciting part, waiting for the finals and to see what position you are. Waiting for cha cha final number to come up, seeing couples go up and knowing that we had potential to be 1st was so exciting. 2nd was amazing to get, I just was amazed at why we would receive 2nd. Anyways, this last year has been a discovery of talent of dancing.

Don't be afraid to try new things because you never know if you could shine! P.S. I am warming up to liking the cold weather. The last two nights I have done things outside (of course I have been bundled up). Tonight I went to my cousin's house where we went sledding down her hill. We had snowball fights, ambushed each other, made snow angels, and just played in the snow. It was a blast. The other night I went hooky bobbing. I had never heard of it before, but its when you have a tube connected to the back of a truck. It can be dangerous. I never did it because the tubes popped, but we went tubing and had a campfire in the snow where we made smores. Overall I have learned to have fun in whatever temperature you are in. The cold weather is not my favorite, but there are some advantages and opportunities to have fun.Well, I had a great day and hope you guys have a great week!

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
