Battle of the Dance ROCKED!!!

My partner Elissa and I before we perform.




Last night was Battle of the Dance and I absolutely loved it. I can't honestly remember all the kinds of dance because we weren't allowed to watch in the back, even if our numbers were already done, but I do remember that everyone did sooo well. Some of the kinds of dances were clogging, Indian (mine :)), Cuban, contemporary, ballroom, spirit dance team (jazz), hula (it was so cool!) and a few others. I loved the entire show. We did a finale dance at the very end to "Please Don't Stop the Music" and it was a total blast. I'm not all the coordinated when it comes to hip hop, but I put attitude into it and just had fun. I was sad when it was over.

This is my friend Brad that used to be my FHE brother. We became friends last year when we found out that we both clog and LOVE it!!
I promise that I'll try to find a way to get my dance on here. The video I have is kind of far away, but I think I'll upload it on youtube anyway just so I can show people who weren't able to see it.

Happy Valentines Day to all!

I have been so excited for Valentines Day this year! I don't have a boyfriend or really a set crush on a boy, but I have a newfound love for the cutest little couple ever!

• MICKEY AND MINNIE MOUSE!

All day today, I've been watching videos with Mickey and Minnie as the stars in them. The main one I wanted to watch was The Three Muskateers because I had forced myself not to watch all of it so I could watch it all today. I've been looking all over youtube at videos from the Disney Parks with Mickey and Minnie. One of my particular favorites is of Mickey's 80th Birthday Party at Disneyland in 2008. Mickey is just soooo stinking cute in it and he is ALWAYS so sweet to Minnie. *sigh* Why would I need a guy right now when I can live vicariously through these two cute little mice?



I've been really busy with school lately, so getting involved with a guy would just distract me more. It has been fun giving out Valentines today to people! I wish I had enough to send to everyone I knew, but I only have so much money. I photoshopped a picture of me and my "true love" ... or at least my stand-in until my real prince that I can share "true love's kiss" with shows up. But ssshhhh, don't tell Minnie! She'd kill me!

I made Battle of the Dance!

This has been a really tough week so far for me, and so you can imagine my excitement when I found out that I made it into the Battle of the Dance performance that will be in about a week and a half. Monday morning was just flat out bad for me- I had a breakdown because of some test scores and I decided I couldn't take it anymore.

Yesterday, I had a better day and then my audition for BOTD was last night. I didn't clog- I did this Indian dance I learned from last summer when I was on the Collegiate World Dance team. I had recruited three other team members, but one of them ended up having a conflict with the audition time and the other one was late. So it was just me and this other girl that did it and it turned out really good. I was kind of nervous- considering I knew two of the judges from dance classes and my old ward, but apparently they liked us. The performance will be on February 21, so we have a little bit to practice and polish things up before we perform. I am so excited though. If I hadn't made it, I would have been completely defeated with school. Heavenly Father knows how important this was to me and I am so grateful that he allowed me to be in the show next week.
