Online shopping!

Life is crazy as 2010 is coming to a close. Technology is so important these days and I don't know what I would do without it. I find myself crossing my fingers in hopes that my Christmas gets here in time. I figured why bother with the holiday lines, annoying drivers and crowds of people when I can shop from the comfort of my own bed. Oh how I LOVE online shopping! Now just hoping the UPS guy is at the top of his game and loves me just as much!

Inspiration

As a performer I am always taking class. Each time, I do my best to take something from it that will improve me as an artist. But once, every so often pure inspiration comes along. A choreographer teaches a class that moves you in a way only dancers can relate. It's a class where I feel complete and invincible. Where I am 100% understood yet totally vulnerable. A moment where dancing feels effortless. My heart is full of passion, my limbs are covered with goosebumps and I am more often then not brought to tears. In that moment I am overwhelmed and overjoyed for the talent that Heavenly Father has blessed me with. Dance is part of me and I can't imagine my life without it. Inspiration like this is why I do what I do. xoxo- a girl in the city

Ps. this song was the perfect cherry on top of my day!

Enjoy.

Reminded

Today I am thankful for people who remind me to be humble.

For people who remind me of what is truly important.

Sometimes I get caught up in the world, especially the glitz of this holiday season.

Today I am feeling humbled and I am grateful.

God sent his Son so we could return to him someday.

I am grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Because of him we get to be with our families for Eternity.

I will always remember the true meaning Christmas.

The Church is true.

Happy Holidays

Feelin good!

I love those moments when everything feels good. Feels happy. Feels right. I know this feeling is rare so that is why Im trying to soak it up. This is not meant to be an "Oooohhh I have the perfect life" post at all. But hey right now, Today, my life is pretty good. I am in such a good place. My life feels full and I am very grateful for that. After 16 months of living in Vegas I finally feel like this is exactly where I am supposed to be. Vegas feels like home. Do I want to stay here forever or have a family here....doubtful. But for me and my life at this age its a perfect place. It tests and pushes me to be better everyday. I have a beautiful place to call home and amazing roommates to fill it. My HOME will always be where my family is but this is not a bad replacement. I love feeling comfortable. I have my favorite local restaurants, a good gym filled with attractive males who make my workout that much more fun. My favorite Target where I always spend too much time and money. My nail salon where they know my name and exactly what I want. My favorite cupcakery for the perfect treat when I feel sad...or happy! The new bank where each time I go I feel a little more awkward cause the teller is extra flirty. My favorite car wash that has the colored yummy smelling soap. My parking spot in the garage. My calling in the ward  to be the annoying girl who walks around a greets you before sacrament meeting. My singles ward in general. All of these things are what make me happy. They make me feel like I belong here. I know each of these things small or big come from my loving Heavenly Father. He has blessed my life greatly and I am so thankful. xoxo - a girl in the city

*GIVE THANKS*

Live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies

and blessings which he doth bestow upon you. - Alma 34:38

How magnificently we are blessed! How thankful we ought to be!

Cultivate the spirit of thanksgiving in our lives. Make it of the very nature of

your lives. It will impart an added dimension to your character that will give 

depth and strength. - Gordon B. Hinkley (Stand a little Taller)
