From the Rockies to the Wasatch

Well, I moved to Provo, Utah this week, and I'm just getting settled. My older sister lives here and I wanted to come live with her and her sweet family. She has a little baby girl who is just adorable. I could eat her up! I'm so happy to be called her auntie:) I haven't quite gotten used to the idea of living in Utah because it just feels like I'm on vacation. It is really weird to be away from a home and family that I have been with for almost 18 years. I just can't fully come to terms with the fact that I'm done with high school and away from home, living basically on my own (well sorta), and saving up moneys for college. I have so many responsibilities that come with this new chapter, and it's strange. It's strange to be at a place in my life that I've waited for ever since I was a kid, and now that I'm here all I want to do is go back to being a child, going back to the 'good old days'. Haha! I'm so excited for what's ahead and I know that as long as I have Heavenly Father and the Savior in my life, then I will be able to endure through the trials and have success through the fun times. 

Utah will be hard to get used to, what with the street signs being all numbers, mountains on every side, crazy reckless drivers, nasty dross water, many temples and churches (I swear I saw at least 30 church steeples above the housetops on my first day here), and the weather. I'm just glad to be here with my sister, brother-in-law, and niece. Trust me, I'm scoping out the place for hotties, bahaha, jk, but really ;) I'll keep you posted. Can't wait to visit the Springs in July! Much love <3 

 Hey there! So I decided that I really wanted to create a blog, and since I'm moving to Utah, I thought, "Hey, this would be the perfect time"! I wanted to name this blog Dancing Through Life because I feel like at times I really am dancing through life. Not only because I am constantly moving from state to state, but also because I really love life! It is such a gift and a blessing to be here on the Earth, and I feel truly blessed to be here at this time! I have so much to be grateful for and personally, I want to live every moment with happiness and excitement every step of the way. I believe that optimism is the best way to live! I also named the blog as said because my favorite musical is Wicked. One of the songs within the story is called Dancing Through Life, and the message is just great! It is so important to make the most of what you have because you never know when it all could get taken away. So yeah, I'm dancing through my life with excitement at every turn!

This past year has been one that I will never forget. It was my senior year and I have made so many memories that I will truly never forget! My friendships have grown stronger and I know that they will last a lifetime! Seriously. I didn't expect my senior year to fly by like it did, but I loved every minute of it. Yeah, I'll admit that at times I contracted a little thing called 'senioritis', however I did make it through! And graduation is tomorrow! EEK! I've had the time of my life this past year as well as the rest of my childhood. It is definitely a bittersweet feeling to be growing up and moving out, but I think I'm ready for what lies ahead! I can't wait to live with my sister and her family in Utah! I will keep in touch with my closest friends whom I love very dearly because I know our friendship has grown deeper. We are bonded and closely knit. I know it sounds cheasy, but we're like a sisterhood! 

So here's to life and the road ahead. Let's dance through it together!
