San Diego!

Sometimes spontaneous road trips are exactly what you need. I drove to San Diego for my two day weekend with my aunt Michele, cousin Mandee and her little one Lily, and cousin Eddie. We went and stayed with my cousin Shanda and her cute kids. It was absolutely beautiful there. I couldn't think of enough reasons why I shouldn't live there. Here are a few pictures from my short but worth every minute trip!

A night to remember!

Walking the Viva Elvis Blue carpet!

Gala Opening Premiere Feb. 19th 2010!

It went from Jan. 8th to Jan. 29th to now Feb. 19th! YES Feb. 19th is TOMORROW!!!!!! AH, I can't believe this day has really come. What an amazing feeling of accomplishment it will be. I have such a good feeling about the show and I know it will be a success. As I rode in the elevator after my show the other night and older couple told me this is the show Las Vegas has been waiting for. It's a perfect dedication to Elvis. He was behind every artistic choice and decision that was made. Every night as I scream and gush over him and get to actually speak with women who have dated or even kissed him. I get the chills and I just know how proud Elvis is of this show. He is there with us every night giving us all that excited energy and atmosphere that we need to put on a good show. I am grateful as a dancer to be a part of a show that pushes me every single time I am on stage. I love getting into character that sometimes my favorite part. When I walked in the audience to do animation before the show starts, I am no longer Stacey Clark from Utah. HAHA I am now Amber from Dallas texas..great southern accent and all. I don't know why but I really can't fully get into character without the accent, I LOVE IT! (I bet you just read that in an accent:) haha Anyways..I am excited about the show and I think its a perfect family friendly show here in Vegas. If you are ever in town please come and see it or atleast stop by to say hello!! xoxo-a girl in the city

Look for VIVA ELVIS on the Larry King Live show this thursday on CNN at 6pm! They came and filmed backstage during the show last night! I sure hope the shot of me in my wig cap doesn't make it on tv! haha Opening night is this friday Feb. 19th!! See you on the red carpet.....:)

ENJOY LIFE!

I had a really good day today! I have so many blessings in my life to be grateful for. I love going to bed with a smile. Happy Valentines day to all of my loved ones and friends back home. I miss you all very much! xoxo- a girl in the city

Time sure does fly.....

I had a weird awakening last night. When I got home from my shows and was doing my nighty FB check...I came across my little...BABY....brothers status. It read "Runnin a stop sign, doing the chicken dance, hittin up wendys,watching the best home made movie, a little bit of road rage and chillin with cam the man, Zach attack, and j beck. And now just killin some zombies. Fun night!!" WOW that sure sounds like a teenage boy. WHAT...When did cute little Cam and Col grow up. I know I am not much older than then but they are the babies. They like to play with me and do things for me and listen to my stories and watch dumb chick flicks with me. When you don't live at home time sure does fly by. They are such studs and already little gentlemen. I just wish I would have enjoyed those last few years of then being boys a little more. This stage in their life is so fun...them playing football and wrestling for the highschool. Watching them talk about girls and have little crushes, and in about a month they will be driving. I am so glad they have B to show them the ropes. He is the perfect example for them. Sooner than later they will be missionaries..then husbands and dads. I am grateful for this little reminder to live in the moment and enjoy each stage of life as they come. I love you Cam and Col....Don't grow up too fast!

Creation of Viva Elvis!

A night with Nappytabs was the perfect way to end creation! I love these two!
What a journey these last 9 months have been. It felt like a breath of fresh air when I realized yesterday that creation was over and I actually made it!!!! It was a long tiring but wonderful learning process. I am grateful for the hard days. The days I actually called home crying wanting to leave. I am grateful for the days where hours felt like years and days just never ended. I'm grateful for the dances I learned and practiced and sweated over that aren't even apart of the show anymore. I'm grateful for these days because they made good ones feel that much better! They made this experience what it was. They helped me learn things about myself that I probably would never have learned. A moment I will remember forever was last night, after this LONG process and another long day. It was 9:45 a little past when we all start to go crazy. We were rehearsing the bows with our old awful reprise music. haha While they tried to figure out a better song the band broke into "Sweet home Alabama"! Everyone started singing and dancing and laughing. I am so glad I took a moment to take it all in. I looked around at all of the smiling faces and just felt so much love. Some days are hard and I know I will have plenty more to come. But the moments that are good make it ALL worth it. Starting friday its 2 shows a night 5 days a week. This will be my life for the next 2 years. I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else! VIVA ELVIS!!!

A LETTER..

One time I wrote a letter. I put all my faith in hoping that it wont come back to bite me. I wrote exactly how I felt. I wrote what I only wish I could say to you in person. For now I will keep this letter in hopes that one day I can read it to you.

Quote for the day:
"YOUR BEST SELF"
Keep faith with the best that is in you. Your own constant self-improvement will become as a polar star to those with whom you associate. They will remember longer what they saw in you than what they heard from you. Your attitude, your point of view can make such a tremendous difference. - Gordon B. Hinckley (Stand a little taller)

.:Passion:.

Having the ability to be completely passionate about something is one of my greatest blessings. My life revolves around my passion for the art of dance. I love it with everything that I am. When I'm dancing I feel most like myself. I love that moment while you're dancing when you realize your not even thinking but just letting your body feel the music. Music has always had a soft spot in my heart. It can bring tears to my eyes or a smile to my face instantly. I love it and I love the way it makes me feel. The people and places I have been because of dance are one more reason for me to love it. Anyone I have had the chance to share a stage with has blessed my life. Its amazing to know the people around me share my same passion for feeling the music and expressing themselves through dance. If you are a dancer you know exactly what I'm talking about. Dancers understand each other. We understand that this isn't the easiest road and that it takes a lot of work. We know what It feels like to leave your heart on the stage. We also know what it feels like to be totally criticized and judged. Being a dancer/artist is the life style I have chosen and wouldn't change for the world. I love my job. xoxo- a girl in the city
