The Tempest

Look what I found! Embarrassing pictures from my first ever play The Tempest! Yup I played a fat drunk dude. Even though I had no clue what I was saying or doing it was still a fun experience and helped open the gates of the acting world for me :)

Peter Pan Stories

We saw Peter and the Starcatcher yesterday at the Hale Center Theatre. I love this play! Its so fun and different from most other plays. If you have the chance I highly recommend going to see it.


(this is the version we just saw.)


Later in the day Chloe and I watched Finding Neverland. This is the first time I'd seen it and it was soooo cute and sad. Its the story of J.M. Barrie (who wrote Peter Pan). I also recommend watching this. Its on Netflix for all you Netflix people.

Change

I turned 18 last month and now the gate is opening... everything is changing! Its a little scary and overwhelming to think about the future, and how close it is. But I keep having to remind myself that change is not a bad thing. In fact its why we are here on this earth, to learn and grow and change.

Spring is always a wonderful reminder of how beautiful change can be. That we need to not be afraid to let one season of our life go in order to start another even more beautiful one.

Sticky note love ;)

This is what happens if I leave my friends unsupervised in my house... 

They left these in secret hiding places everywhere!! My little sisters have been so excited when they find one that was really well hidden :)

Thanks guys, you brightened all our days!

"Fairy food"

I was taking the garbage out when I saw this... 

My sisters are awesome! 

Who else remembers doing this as a kid?

Light Side Choir Thank You

We had our family and friends Choir performance tonight and now I'm sad. This is my last semester! I've been in the choir for 5 (or 6) years and now its time to move on.

I'm so thankful for my mother (who is the choir director) for all the time, energy and love she has put into making these the best years of my life. The preforming arts are so big a part of my life, and I wouldn't have been doing it if it wasn't for my mother. She has shaped me into who I am because of these experiences.

Thank you to everyone who is or has ever been in choir. It would not have been the same without you! Just like in singing we needed every voice to sound as one. Every single one of you has sung a part in my life.

I can't wait to come back and watch the choir continue to grow. and I hope the choir alumni will be allowed to do special performances ;)



If you want to watch past choir performances Our Studio Films has some, and will most likely have the latest performance soon.

Fixer Upper!

So I'm going to accomplish nothing for the next couple of days. Netflix just got season two of Fixer Upper! If you know what that is you should be screaming too. If you don't know what it is I'll tell you and then you can scream.

Chip and Joanna Gaines, own and operate Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and "Fixer Upper" shows the process by which the couple turn dilapidated but potential-rich houses into showplaces that are helping revitalize whole neighborhoods throughout central Texas. Chip manages the construction and realty side of Magnolia and Joanna is the lead designer. 

But what makes this show truly great is the couple themselves. They are the cutest funniest couple ever to have their own TV show. Usually I can't stand watching shows like this because of the people in it, but they are just so real and funny. And they have a cute family...

If you have Netflix go binge watch season 1 and 2. Then look forward to season 3! Hope you enjoy :)

Im going to go... work now...

General Conference Quotes

This Conference weekend has been amazing! So many wonderful and inspiring messages from the apostles of the Lord were shared. My personal theme from this conference was Peace and Hope. In every message it seemed a subtle theme of peace or hope was hidden, the whole spirit of the conference gave this feeling to me.
Each conference truly re-awakens me to the gospel, re-invigorates me to do more. I am defiantly not a prefect person, which is why it is so nice to have the Prophets of God encouraging us to do better and reminding us of who we really are twice a year. It really is a gift!






What was your favorite part of conference? Quotes, themes?

ps. Sorry I was so horrible at posting this week, I was really out of it. I'll do better this week.
