A Million MPH!

What a week it has been! I seriously feel like I have been running, jumping & leaping constantly but, I wouldn't change it for anything!

The competition teams are looking FABULOUS! Plus, we are starting my absolute favorite.. Lyrical!
Yay.. There is something about dancing slow & feeling what the artist is singing! Oh, it just gets me.. especially on those hard days! It reminds me of the past things I have learned from people or just from myself!
Even though there are days I am tired, worn out & just don't know if I can make it through the day! I love that the reason I am tired is because I am spending my nights dancing & watching all of the girls become better every practice! I am so excited for the coming months with these girls!

Alumni, is so much fun as well! Even though there are times I wonder how I will ever get my feet to do tap or how I will make it through the recital because I am out of shape! I love that I can still be challenged & have time to dance for just myself. Those late Monday night's keep me so happy the rest of the week!

This week was very long at school, I ended up staying later than usual for it being SEP's! Those weeks are always stressful. Maybe that's why I went to Costa Vida twice last week.. or maybe its just my fat pants!

I just love my Young Woman in my ward.. they are like my own kids. I don't know what I would do without that calling. They make my day so much brighter.If its a funny text message or a snapchat from them. They make me so happy! I honestly can say I am surrounded by such great youth. Now, if they just didn't have to keep growing up!

Lately, I have been laughing at myself. I use to hate crafting, in fact when my mom wanted to go into Joann's or anything close to a place like that I cringed, whined & probably sometimes cried. But now I love to spend time at those stores. Maybe it's because of Pinterest and it's endless possibilites or because of the house we live in. But I love finishing a project.. even though I can count about 10 that I am working on currently or have been thinking about! Isn't it crazy how we read a DIY tutorial & just dig in and try it! What a funny craft world. Sometimes I wonder how I have this much trust in someone I have never met! But, I still find myself driving to the nearest store to create something!

This weekend:
I spent the whole day Friday at Utah State Drill Championship. It was awesome, I love spending time with Lisa & Alexa. We have such a great time together & create to many jokes! I love seeing the talent that these drill teams have! They each are so amazing, I am sure that their coaches maybe walked away not happy that someone dropped a pirouette or a lift. But, if you can put on a show that someone doesn't want to look away from then you did your job as a performer and dancer! It made me so happy to see that passion in all of those girls eyes. I don't think I fully realized that in high school nor in college. But, boy was I blessed to learn all I did from my coaches & teammates. Those were definitely the best years & hardest years!

...I don't think there is anything better than waking up after 10am. I know, I know.. How can I still do that? But, it makes me so happy! Especially to wake up & head straight to Hobby Lobby. I swear I am a weekly shopper! Even my dad wanted to go with my mom & me. He spent his time in the model car aisle, we had to laugh at that.
We also went into Petsmart. They had an adoption agency in there with about 15 or so dogs! Man, it was hard to not walk out with one. I can't believe that people can just walk away from their animals like that. I had to get more food for Nala & a container since we have had our first encounter with a mouse yesterday! Sadly, it was my mom that dealt with it! She wasn't very happy with me I am sure.
I went to lunch with my parents at Crown Burgers. I love spending time with them, I know my dad thinks I am clingy and that I never leave! But, I truly do love the time that I get with them. If only I would have known that four years ago ( I was way to bratty of a teenager).

Ending the night at Pace's with our friends Carli & Dan. They just make me laugh, I am so thankful for friends that we can go and do things with so much. I am so excited for them to become parents.. I just want that little girl here so I can hold her!
