Update

Not a ton has happened since my last post but I thought I'd post about my Spring Break Part 2 trip to Saint George. Since my Spring Break was at a different time from everyone else in my family AND preschool, I got to celebrate twice. John and I had class all week so we drove down Friday afternoon and met Ester, Scott, my dad, Chris, Jen and their kids. We stayed at a condo belonging to Scott's grandparents which was really fun. We didn't do a whole lot except eat and sleep but that's exactly what I needed! My favorite part of the trip, aside from the food and company, was going to the Sand Dunes. We had a blast! Though my 2+ hours of vacuuming my car proved in vain since we were all covered with red sand on the drive home. Overall it was a great trip!

Princess

John and I spent a great weekend in Centerville this week. We saw "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" with Ruth and Forrest at the Hale Center Theater Orem which was hilarious! I was so impressed with the quality of the production and actors. I was also very impressed with the way in which it was directed. I can't imagine directing (or performing in) a show with such little stage space. They definitely are pro's down there!

We also got to babysit John's cute nieces Ruby and Lola. I had fun watching Snow White, brushing doll hair, getting my own hair brushed and playing with princess toys with Lola while John watched the Jazz. She even did a little princess concert for us. Even more impressive than the Hale Center Performers :) What a doll!


I'm prepping tonight for a LONG week of study, study and more study. I am taking my Praxis test this Saturday which I have to pass to be able to apply for the Elementary Education program at USU. If I don't pass it will mean I will have to take a semester off of school this fall which I REALLY don't want to do. So...no pressure. I'm excited that the semester is winding down and the finish line is in sight though. I'm definitely looking forward to doing what I love this summer at the Opera and running some summer camps for my mom. Life will be much more relaxed once I get this Praxis and all my finals out of the way. Other than that though, I couldn't ask for more. :)

New York and DC

Back to the blog! Life has been hectic since Spring Break and I haven't had a chance, until now, to post about my trip. Aside from the rough start of having my flight out of SLC canceled and missing 4 Broadway shows because of it, I had a great time!

First stop...Popover Cafe! One of our favorite NYC destinations. If you like popovers (and who doesn't) you'd LOVE this place! They serve popovers with every dish (like frenchfries). Sandwich with a popover on the side, soup with a popover, salad with a popover etc. So fun! We just ordered hot chocolate and two baskets of popovers with strawberry butter :)

We had fun seeing shows and eating LOTS of good food during our few days in New York. I saw South Pacific, West Side Story, and A Little Night Music (starring Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta Jones!)

Then we headed to DC to visit Nick and Adele. We had lots of fun hanging out, watching the NCAA tourney and eating more good food. The first night we were there Nick and Adele took us to a fun Middle Eastern restaurant with delicious falafel. We also ate at a Crepes-A-Go-Go which was really fun. We spent one night driving around DC seeing the monuments in the moonlight which was beautiful. Vaness, Stefan and I took a tour of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving which was pretty interesting as well. We had lots of fun walking around the historic city and did pretty well figuring out the metro system!

Dad took us to see a production of Little Shop of Horrors at Ford's Theater which was really fun! Cute show and even more neat because of the venue! On our last day there we visited the DC temple. Such a beautiful, majestic building! Overall it was a great trip but mostly fun just to spend time with my brothers and sisters!
