I haven't blogged in FOREVER! Whoops... Well anyhow, here's what's been going on in my life. Enjoy these 5 recent photo's.
Random side note: I just realized that my blog title "Friends.Family.Everything." is spelled wrong. I forgot the "Y" in "Everything". I'll try to figure out how to fix that!

I just had my last dance competition of the season; bittersweet. I love competing and being with my dance girls, but I like to have a break. At my comp. this weekend, I won three 2nd places. In the picture above, I won Gold, High Gold, and Platinum!! Triple Yay!!

My dad took me to a Kerri Roberts concert for my birthday (which is May 16th..oh and ignore the picture quality). Kerri Roberts is a Christian artist and she signed myCD! She's an absolutely amazing singer! Exciting!

 Good times at dance...Lindsay and Alexis decided that we needed to keep hydrated, so they bought a trillion drinks. (:

This is my friend, Michelle, and I at dance.

To end it all, I edited this picture of Ava playing in the sand. She's cute (:

Passion

Everyone has a passion for something. Whether it's soccer, art, taking pictures, or writing, everyone has something they just love to do, whether your good at it, or not. Well mine is dance. I just realized that I rarely talk about dance on this blog. Well dance is my passion.
I've been dancing since I was 3 years old. Ballet, just like every little girl does. Ever since then, I've just loved to dance. I'm going on my 11th year of dance! I currently take jazz, modern, and am on the dance team.
Usually every Saturday, we have dance team practices. I'm doing a duet, trio, and the production number. This year, we have a large dance team. Well, I shoud say we have a large dance team at one of our studios. In our one studio, we have about 10-15 girls, varrying in age from 5-15. But at my studio, we have 6 dance team members.
There's just something about dancing that you can't put into words. It makes you feel so alive and so free and I'm very happy to share my passion with my few readers. :)

Down on the Farm...

So last weekend, was our town farm festival. My dance studio had a booth their. We had a bake sale and did face painting. We really had a great time. It was a really rainy day, but I was really surprised at how many people were there.
I met up with Grandmother, Aunt Sara, Blake, and Ava and walked around with them for a little while. But, I had to get back to working. Blake came over to get his face painted and got a cow on his cheek(: Ava didn't want anything. Mary Kate and I were dancing on the hay bails and got our pictures in one of those little things where you cut out the head and it looks like you have the body of a cow or something. And next door, there was a day old baby calf! It was really cute!

Hail or Golf Balls?

   I hope I'm not the only one that found Thursday pretty scary. It's the 2nd tornado warning this year! What's going on? We've never had weather like this before!
   Brady was suppose to have his baseball game and was all dressed for it. Mom, Dad, and Brady got to the field (Ashley, Breanna, and I were at dance) and it started to look really black and started hailing! Obviously, Brady didn't have his game. It's a good thing they got those little baseball players out of there in time!

   While the baseball players were being evacuated from the field, Mom came in to get us from dance because our studio is only 1 story, and 2 rooms; both covered in windows. The only safe place would be the tiny bathroom. So Mom came and asked Miss Samantha if she knew there was a tornado warning. We all had no idea of course. No one casually takes the time to check the weather while dancing. So Breanna, Ashley, me, and Christina( my dance friend) all headed home and to the basemet. Dad stayed upstairs of course ( cause he's nuts). Hail the size of golf balls fell from the sky!

  

So after it was all over, there was no tornado, Christina went home safely, and our yard looked like this

I hope this is the last of the crazy weather.

Day of Dance



About 10 years ago when I first started!

Today was an interesting day! On our way to a dance competition, we

ran into a conestoga wagon(in a parade), and cows crossing the road!!

When we finally got to Hancock High School for our compeition, my partners Christina, Brittany,and I got ready to do our trio to "Frozen". We hadn't practiced all week so we were nervous. As the annoucer called out our names and song, we were really nervous!! But we performed the dance with smiles and did really great!

"I'm not gonna let you three practice anymore" said Miss Samantha, our dance instructor.

Me and Christina's next dance was "Dynamite". It didn't go as well with a few mess ups.

We ended up taking home 2 2nd place plaques and medals. It was a great day(:



Me and Christina. Best dance friends for life!!





This years dance team(:
