Happy Birthday!

I know I'm really late in the day, but just wanted to say...

...I hope all your birthday wishes came true!

Wow. I Just Wrote Quite the Tangent.

MIDTERM, SAY WHAAAT?
So I just found out like an hour ago I have a midterm...when?
Tomorrow?
Yeah, great.
On what?
Yoga!
I have no idea how to study for a Yoga midterm.
Is it written or is it just doing Yoga?
I have no idea.
Other than the fact it would be like impossible to test on us actually doing Yoga.
Why?
1. Only one teacher
2. What determines good? and Bad?
3. Yoga is all about listening to your own body. How will she know if we are listening?
You get the point.
If it is a test based on our ability...
I will probably fail.
Since we have "breathing exercises"...and I cannot do them.
YEah. Nicole forgets to breathe.
I also prefer to hold my breath.
If it is a written test...
I will also probably fail, since I don't know the names for anything.
Show me the position, and I will follow.
Sorry though, I still don't know what Vinyasa means.
Want to ask me what downward dog is though?
Or happy baby?
Or dolphin?
Or warrior 1?
I know those ones.
So wish me luck cuz I'm gonna need it!
Maybe I'm crazy but I thought Yoga was supposed to RELIEVE stress, not CAUSE it! Gah.
O ya, and I got a paper to write tonight. Oh joy.
I HATE English.
Good thing, once I'm done with this class, no more English for me.
I pretty much hate this week of school.
Good news though, I have an AWESOME dance teacher.
She cancelled class Friday just cuz we wanted her to.
And it gets better, our midterm was scheduled for Friday, but now we have til Monday.
Really that just means I have til Monday to forget EVERYTHING we did today.
So maybe that's not such a good thing.
But it is dance, and I love it. So I will survive.

ARIZONA IS CALLING MY NAME
.........................................................................................................................
So today my Aunt and Uncle from Phoenix welcomed a new baby girl into their family.
Her name is Mia.
And boy, she is a cutie.
I am DYING to go see her. Like I wanna jump in my car right now and drive all night long.
BUT...I can't thanks to school :(
Ok...School isn't the only thing holding me back.
There is work too.
bah....
I do want to visit Arizona though soon.
It's one of my favorite places in the world!!!
(might be only because I've never left the U.S. so I haven't seen the world. Just seen the U.S.)
So, I'm watching very closely for the first opportunity that presents itself and I will most certainly be taking off! I miss my cute little cousins A & Z and now I'm missing little M, even though we've never met! I can't wait to meet her so that is the same as missing her, right?
Oh and off course I miss Matt & Becky too!!!
I'm very envious of my Grandparents at the moment.
Why?
Because they are there! And I am not.

A Little Luck After All

So my AWESOME cousin bought a boat this summer and he was so nice and invited me out on it. I was excited to go...but all the while wondering...with my boating luck...what would go wrong this time? We got the boat in the lake nice and quick...and then Tay went to start it. Turned the key. Nothing. Turned the key again. Nothing. Checked a few things on the boat. Nothing. There we were floating on the lake...no power. haha. great.
Thank goodness for rope. We pulled ourself to the dock. And Tay jumped off to get cables to charge the battery. Haha turns out this one is not my bad luck...more of a blonde moment for Taylor. Boats gotta be in nuetral :) Glad he had one friend smart enough to notice. The boat was started with no problem and we were off.

Did I lose anything? Nope.
Did I get hurt? Nope.
...but did I go in the water at all? Nope.

My goal for next time?

To actually get wet and NOT injure or lose anything. This would be a great accomplishment. So wish me luck!!!

...and Thanks Tay for the invite! It was fun.

Happy Birthday Brett!

Today is my cousin Brett's Birthday and I decided blogging is an excellent way to recognize birthdays! Cuz I don't know about you but I would loved to blogged about on my birthday! So I will start with Brett...
He's an awesome person to hang with at parties!!!

...not to mention a VERY good sport....

He happily played "grandma" for our Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer performance at our family Christmas party.

Having a very good time at party land :)

He made a convincing Captain Hook.

...a stunning "John Travolta" double for the movie Hairspray
And Best of all a great polygamist. Haha.
(And although its not been posted he makes a killer Richard Simmons!)

Heritage Tours with Brett was a Blast! He was a great dad!
he even "forgot" to confiscate my cell phone a few times.

Most importantly Brett is a great friend!
Love you Brett!
Hope you have a great 21st Birthday!!!
