Cheek to Cheek

I had my dancing competition today for Social Dance Intermediate. I didn't place in foxtrot, but I got 4th in Night club two step. I just love dancing. I was thinking about how my love has intensified throughout college. I started with Social Dance and I learned the waltz, cha cha and swing. I then took International Latin and International Standard. I learned more waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, samba and another style of cha cha. I took this class and I learned some salsa, mambo, more foxtrot, and night club two step. I have learned through country nights, I have learned merengue and salsa from Latin Dancing. I learned the basic of tango tonight, I feel like the more I learn about dfiferent dances, the more I fall in love with dancing. I danced with this one guy whose specialty is triple swing. I LOVED it! He was so much fun, we were spinning all around the floor. I really don't like foxtrot but tonight we danced to the song "Cheek to Cheek". I loved dancing with my partner because we were really comfortable with each other, so there was no pressure. We just danced, laughed and made up our own moves in addition to the moves we had already learned.

Dance is a great way to relax and have fun. I love taking a dance class each semester. I meet new people, I learn new dance step, I compete in the dance competition and I have fun compared to my stressful classes. I am not trying to brag in this blog, but I feel myself getting better the more I dance. I learn and master new steps. My favorite things about the Social dance Formal was the fact that they played all types of dances and I could dance to all of them. Before, I was limited in which dances I could do because I was unaware of the style and moves of each dance. After taking my dance classes, I can learn pretty much any dance, and I can follow pretty well. I love how dancing can just make me happy. I always want to dance. It is a great bonding experience with your partner.

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 ...
