*ThirteeN*

This is supposed to be my favorite quote and why. Truth be told, I don't have a "favorite quote" I find new quotes every day. I do have a few really good ones though. One of them is on my blog, "Life is not a matter of milestones, but of moments." By Rose Kennedy. A quote from The Guardian, "I've always been old Ben. Ya' know what though, I don't mind. I mean, if my muscles ache, it's because I've used 'em. It's hard for me to walk up them steps now, its 'cuz I walked up 'em every night to lay next to a man who loved me. I got a few wrinkles here and there, but I've layed under thousands of skies with sunny days. I look and feel this way, well cuz I drank and I smoked. I lived and I loved, danced, sang, sweat and screwed my way thorough a pretty damn good life if you ask me. Getting old ain't bad Ben. Getting old, that's earned." I have loved this quote since the first time I saw the movie :) Quotes are an amazing way for us to live our lives, lift others up, and define the most important moments in history. This next one is one that I lived by, "Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythm of your life. It's the expression in time and movement, in happiness, joy, sadness and envy." ~Jaques D'ambroise. Not only because it is about dance, and I have spent most of my life dancing, but because it explains so well the reason most dancers dance. So keep enjoying the quotes that get you through life :)

Spring Time??

It is official, I have enrolled at UVU once again, and I will start school in the fall! I am very excited :) I start taking ballet classes again next week, and then I'll keep dancing through the summer. I am also still working full time, and still teaching dance. I have three more classes, and then I am done teaching for the summer. I also can not wait until our local program for the Draper/Sandy Distinguished Young Women in September! It is going to be soo much fun!! On top of all of that, I recently helped with the March of Dimes. That orginization is one that is closer to me then others. My smallest sister Sammie was born early, and had to stay in the NICU. I was so glad I got to give my time back to them, for all that they do for families all over. I also just signed up to help with the Relay for Life, which all the proceeds go towards research for cancer, and I am a supporter of finding the cure for cancer :) If you want to "race" with me, let me know!! It is a blast, and more of a walk. That is what is going on with me, Jared is just working until the begining of June, and then he goes back to school. We are both super busy, but it happens when you cram your life full :) We did get to take a small vacation and spend time in California!! We went to Disneyland for four days...
But then, we came home, and about Cedar City,we ran into the rain, and it hasn't stopped since. That we May 8th. I feel like I need to go back to the sun because I am starting to feel a little depressed. One day, the sun will return!!
