Thanksgiving in NYC

This Thanksgiving was amazing. I got to spend it in New York City with my friends and family, and I had so much fun. I got to go see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade that my band was playing in. Not gonna lie, I was a little sad that I didn't get to march with the band even though I was a part of the audition tape and the band that had auditioned for it - but it's all good. It was so much fun to go see my old friends from band and see Mr. Miller and everyone. Even my mom and Autumn came! It was so much fun. We did so much - The Ride, Aladdin, Battery Park, Rockefeller Center, Trump Tower, the Rockettes, Russian Tea Room, Grand Central Terminal, Central Park, and so much more!

Let it Snow!

It snowed yesterday!! This Florida girl was so excited - my roommates were so amused by me running out the door and into the bitter cold to try and catch snowflakes on my tounge. Abi said that what I seeing was just "sky dandruff" and that it would get way better as the season went on. Either way, I thought it was pretty exciting.

Not sure if you can see the snow- but it was awesome.

In light of the season first snowfall, and with Candice having already left for Thanksgiving break, I decided that it was as good a time as any to start decorating for Christmas. So I made a ton of paper snowflakes and decorated with them! Abi and Gideon also contributed to my snowflake collection.

In other news - I had my social dance test on Thursday, and also got to participate in the medal exams that day. It was a lot of fun, for the test I danced with Parker and for the medal exam I got to dance with one of my teachers, Wesley. It's so fun dancing with Wesley. Anyways, I ended up medaling with Honors with a score of 90 out of 100, and I had a lot of fun too!

Home Teachers

Candice and I are pretty sure we have the best home teachers ever. Not only do they actually come on a regular schedule, but they bring treats and have a nice spiritual lesson prepared! We love our home teachers!

My Super Duper Fun Weekend

So I had an super duper fun weekend!

Friday: I had a super fun date to go see Tenebrae, a choir from London, come to BYU and perform the entirety of Handel's Messiah with my friend Sid. It was awesome! The Hallelujah chorus had to be my favorite part, but the whole thing was totally amazing. I was lame though and didn't take any pictures... sorry Mom.

Saturday: I got to compete in BYU DanceSport! It was so much fun!! My partner Landon and I competed the Cha-Cha in the Bronze American category. We did way better than we expected to! We made it all the way to Quarterfinals along with 2 other couples in our class. It was so much fun! We got to dance 3 rounds in the morning and then 2 more rounds in the evening. Afterwards, a few of us stayed to watch some of the other competitions. My favorite was the Gold Latin competition. A whole bunch of really good couples danced the Cha-Cha, Samba, Pasadoble, and Jive. It was awesome! I really enjoyed watching those. There were also a couple competitions for the younger elementary school aged kids. They were amazing. They were way better than me, they looked like they had been dancing since they were born - which they very well could of been!
