This just makes me smile!

Simplify

I have decided to simplify my life...
I spend too much time focusing and worrying about the wrong things. Life is fun and should be lived to its fullest. I need to be a little less dramatic (shocker I know) and a little more positive. I always thought I was an easy going person but apparently I am kind of a stress case. I have slowly learned from my job that you just have to take life ONE day at a time. My blog is only a few months old but tonight I decided to look back at some older posts. I suggest you all try it...I actually learned something from myself. It's almost as fun as reading through an old journal! Anyways I decided to replace my morning fb check with 15 minutes of scripture study. Who knows why I didn't do or learn this sooner but hey I wont dwell on the past and just say that my life is definitely better because of this new change. What an awesome feeling it is to start my day with the spirit. Life is not easy and things don't always go our way but having the spirit to guide and comfort you is something I wouldn't change for the world. On a different note, as I was leaving work yesterday I noticed a huge pile clothing that was being donated. This sparked another aspect to simplify in my life. THE CLOSET...I came home and immediately went through and organized my closet. Today I donated 3 bags of clothing to that pile. I am not even sure what charity it was for but it sure felt good knowing those clothes weren't just wasting space in a packed closet anymore. I hope that by simplifying these small things in my life it will help me to be more Christ like. I hope it will help me focus on what life is really about. I read something tonight that I want to share: "Let us live the gospel. Let it shine in our lives. Let it shine in our faces. Let it come through our actions. Live the gospel. Look to God and Live." Life really is SIMPLE when you know what is truly important! xoxo- a girl in the city

Now this is a woman I would pay to be and look like when I'm a mom! Isn't she beautiful? I know I have the best looking friends in the world. Kathleen and her husband Greg were in town last week and came to see my show. They sat front row up close and personal haha. I absolutely loved having them there. The next day Kat and I had lunch at my favorite place Serendipity! Yes that large glass filled with chocolaty goodness is their famous Frozen Hot Chocolate! YUM!! Anyways..The whole reason I am posting is to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has come to see my show so far. I have been more than supported and felt so blessed throughout this whole process. I don't think you will ever know how much it means to me when I look out and see those familiar faces in the audience. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! xoxo- a girl in the city

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!
