Twenty Three.....

June made me turn 23, and I am actually excited about it! 23 has a lot to live up to, cause I really liked 22. I would rank 22 as one of my favorites next to 19 and 20. The best part of birthdays is that you get to hear from all of your friends and family,and that is the way another year should start out. My dad has the same birthday as me, and I love that we always hang out together all day. Marcella's is a few days after as well, so we all redeem our free birthday coupons together and I always look forward to it. For those of you who aren't members, join the Red Robin, Baskin Robins, and Coldstone birthday clubs. FREE FOOD!

The best part of June was that the girls and I went to Backstreet Boys. I highly suggest that everyone go a 'blast from the past' concert. They bring back vivid memories of being in middle school. It was seriously the best! Did you know BSB have been around for 17 years? We all loved it, and I left feeling like I was 13. Marcella gave me a BSB plastic backpack a while ago, we laughed cause we thought we would never use it in public. Thank goodness for this opportunity to use that treasure.

I am leaving soon for the Dominican Republic. I will be going down with a BYU study abroad group. I will teach community health classes at night, and then hip hop and dance by day. I am excited, but hope somehow I can turn into a thug/rap/hip/hop genious/ all star really soon so these kids will think I'm cool when I teach them.

Side note. If you live in Utah get yourself to My Dough Girl during July. The cookie of the month is Fresh Raspberry and it will make you wonder how you ever got along without it. It is the best one yet.

I blogged.

Can you believe it is already June! 2010 is halfway over and I really don't like how fast time goes! I am finished with school for the summer and could not be happier! I absolutely loved my first year, but am thrilled to have time to do things I didn't all year. I realized this when I went to Costco the other day and was so happy just to wonder around by myself for two hours and then go watch Oprah. It's the little things in life we take for granted. For now I am just working at My Dough Girl and teaching ballet.

Teaching Ballet was tougher than I thought it would be. I thought I would be the coolest ballet teacher ever when I let my seven year old ballerinas do ballet to Justin Bieber instead of classical. I happen to love JB so I was excited to tell them my great idea. The response I got was this, "Eeewww. I hate that girl Justin Bieber". What?!? What seven year old hates him? Then I felt foolish for liking him more than seven year olds do. Or at least I felt foolish until my 24 year old sister called me to ensure that I had checked out his new music video. Maybe he just has a way with older girls, cause we love the kid. I am attaching his video! Maybe my future boyfriend is taking so long to come around cause I have to wait for him (Justin) to be of legal dating age. Actually I probably just deterred any future boyfriends by writing this tribute to JB. Whatever.

I am not sure what else to update on for now. Today was Sunday and I went on a bike ride by myself and had lots of time to think. I thought about how life goes by way too fast that sometimes we forget to enjoy it. I thought about how sad it is that other things get in the way of us spending time with our loved ones. So, I invite you all to schedule moments into your week where you can call that friend you have been meaning to call, or write that card to your Grandpa that you have been wanting to. Thanks for reading this and hope life is just the best for all of you.
