So on Friday night Mom, Dad, Tessa, and I saw Les Miserables. It was beautiful and amazing, and yes I cried basically through the whole second act. But it goes right up there as one of my favorites, it was truly an inspiring night.
From the beginning of the first act I forgot about anything and everything and let the cast take me on this journey with them through this story. When they were sad I was sad, when they laughed (which was rare) I laughed, when they cried I cried. It was absolutely mesmerizing and Jean Valjean was absolutely amazing. His voice captivated me from the very beginning and every time he opened his mouth I was in awe and was so thrilled that I got to listen to him.
Then after the performance a few members of the cast, Jean Valjean, Fantine, Thenardier, and the conductor, had a Q&A for those in the audience who wanted to stay. It was so much fun to hear them talk about life on the road, the audition process, what they do, mess ups they've had while performing and how they handled it, and all sorts of stuff like that. From the beginning of Act I to the end of the Q&A I was hypnotized. I had a wonderful night and I'm so glad that I was able to see the show and I can't wait for the movie which comes out this December!!
P.S. If you haven't seen Hugh Jackman's wife please look her up, they make me so happy! (This goes with Les Miserables because Hugh Jackman is playing Jean Valjean :)

summer...
Sorry that I've been so bad about regularly posting, I'll try to get better I promise! But in my defense I have been busy, all though I know that all of you have been terribly busy too. But I just wanted to make the announcement that I'm heading into the last 4 days of Sophomore year and am heading into the beginning of my Junior year!! Can you believe it? And my 17th birthday is in 2 months almost to the day!! And two more years and I'll be a college freshman, hopefully at BYU, Provo (fingers crossed).
But in other good news, guess who got a 105% on her Organic Chemistry test? This girl!! And I have an A in AP Euro!! It's been a good year. :)
Well Summer is nearly here and with that all sorts of wonderful things such as spending time with all of you at some time or another in the next 3 months. Love you all!!

My Fair Lady
Sorry that I haven't posted in such a long time but life got really busy with AP Euro and musical and life was really busy for like a month, but I'm finished with the musical at the end of this week and then I have like 3 weeks-ish of school left!!!
But I was randomly looking at some Audrey Hepburn quotes and here are some really great ones that I really enjoyed and I hope you will to.
But I was randomly looking at some Audrey Hepburn quotes and here are some really great ones that I really enjoyed and I hope you will to.
Nothing is impossible,
the word itself says 'I'm possible'!
You can tell more
about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say
about him.
People, even more than
things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never
throw out anyone.
I believe in
manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing
lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I
believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles.
.... so those are just a few of her quotes that I really liked and really convey a positive message. I knew I always liked her! ;)

Mind Blowing!!
So Mom, Dad, and I saw Cirque du Soleil Iris this afternoon and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! We saw it at the Kodak Theater...
This was mind boggling good, as all Cirques are. But there was so much going on at once it was so hard to see everything that was going on. There was no possible way to see everything.
The guy below during intermission was so cute because he and this other girl were walking around mingling with the audience, all in character and being adorable. These two were so lovable!!
The theme for this Cirque is the movies. So below is a movie reel thing that they did, it was amazing to watch. The timing was so perfect and accurate and just mind blowing! And the other picture was this whole Noir sequence with trampolines that was awesome.

I'm pretty sure I spent the whole time with my mouth wide open! This truly was an experience!!
Spring Break

Now I know that BYU doesn't have Spring Break, but you guys are all graduating in like 2 weeks and I still have 6 more years of school to go, just saying. And I have to do an AP Euro unit this week too, so we will all be working this week! ;) Love you all!!

A Promise
Alright so last week in Young Womens my teacher Sister Sundburg told us of a pact that she and her siblings made before her brother left for his mission. It was that no matter what at least once a year they would all get together.
I would love it if we could do this too! To make a pact, a promise, that no matter what we will always be able to get together at least once a year! I don't know what you guys think of that,I hope that you like it! ;) Because I really like it and I hope that we would be able to see each other all together more than once a year, but I know that's not totally an option right now,but hopefully someday it will be! Love you guys <3
