some things that make me happy of late.

new hair cut--thank you Ruthie!
chamber songs like twa tanbou, sleep, my spirit sang all day,
valegrams!
singing in assemblies.
playing the piano spur of the moment,
Debussy. what a genius.
a rec center pass and work out on the bike.
awesome hair. did i already mention that?
LOST.
which i'm going to watch right now.

i know. i fail.

i know it's been an eternity since i've posted. for the last month and a half or so my schedule has been as follows:
get up, go to school, do homework during lunch. after school rehearsal. get home at 7 finish up any homework, go to bed.
and the week of the show was even more crazy. i got to go home after school, and i would do homework, or sleep then go back to school at 5:30, the show would start at 7 and i wouldn't get home until at least 10 then i'd go to sleep.
it was really really hard to live on so little sleep because i am not used to it at all. but the whole experience was just incredible. i can't believe i have never been in a play! it's the best experience anyone could ever have! i got to meet some of the neatest people and become close friends with them. it was just so much fun and so uniting and awesome! and to be in les miserables was amazing. it's a wonderful show.
here are a few pictures that people posted on facebook and the two onstage are ones my mom took. enjoy!

one very important truth i learned from this play is summed up in the epilouge:

"To love another person is to see the face of God."

chamber parties galore!

This weekend was all about chamber choir. on friday we sang at a family christmas party, and then i went to a murder mystery party with mostly chamber people. it was very fun! my character was millie the maid. on saturday we had a chamber christmas party at rachel's house and exchanged christmas socks. fun times with great people!
and i can't wait for the break. one more stressful day of school and rehearsal and then i will be DONE!!

temple square

i want to preface this by saying that i hate snow and winter with everything in me. and i'm trying very very hard to have a positive attitude about it because i have pretty much decided on BYU-I and it's much colder out there.
on wednesday, chamber choir went up to temple square and sang at the family history library and at the joseph smith memorial building. it was so much fun! i love chamber, and i love christmas!

a new venture...

as you know, this senior year has been incredibly busy for me what with 3 AP classes, seminary and choir council and just living in general. i decided to add yet another thing to my plate, LES MISERABLES! my school is putting on this amazing show in january, and i decided last minute to audition for it. i found out yesterday that i got placed in the ensemble which i am SO happy about. i don't have a lead, or even a part, so i don't have to learn any lines or sing any solos, i just get to be a part of this great experience with people that i love. i am so excited about this, and i hope that i'll be able to keep my sanity!

mocktail party

this past weekend i had was invited to a birthday party at sparks resteraunt lounge in provo. they served all non-alcoholic drinks. i tried a berry martini which was very yummy and fancy. it was such a fun girls night, we got all dressed up in our nice dresses and heels! very fun party. my best friend whitney and i
