Not Just a Passion

Dancing: Its not just a passion its a way of life

Last night I went to watch my adorable "little sister" Adrian at her dance competition. When it comes to her dancing I just can't help but smile and soak up every minute of watching her. Every single time I go out to Park Valley she shows me her dances, and we have random dance partys. When I goof off and dance with that girl it reminds me so much of when I was her age and loving every minute of dancing. I still make dancing apart of my life and love just dancing in my bedroom. Or my favorite is dancing in the dark and making me feel like its just me and the dance. Dancing is an expression of life and its something I love doing, its a great way to make me forget about the world around me and just make me feel like I'm just me without a stress in the world. Lately I have been watching old dance videos and can I just say I was a little spazzy dancer but I can still remember the thoughts I had while I was dancing and how much I loved doing it. Every time (since 5th grade I think) I stand in position waiting for the music to start whether its during practice or an actual performance I always take a deep breath and say the same thing to myself:

Darci, Stay strong! You can do it! Show everyone who is watching what you love the most!

I have no idea how many times I have told myself that in my life but all I can say is I've done it so many times its sorta written inside of me! I love dancing, don't get me wrong, its something that I will always love doing! I have learned so many life lessons from all the dance teachers and coaches I have had over my lifetime, I wouldn't take back any moment I was on the dance floor!

9 Years plus a Special Day

Well 9 years ago today was my special day! Its a day that all LDS kids can't wait for! I was baptised and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I still remember that day. Looking around and seeing all my loved ones there supporting me! Its crazy that its been so many years since that day because it doesn't seem that long at all! I cant wait for the day when I see my children being baptised and being washed away from all their sins. Its a feeling that no one can really put into words when you come out of that water. Oh I just love special days!

17 Forever

17 years ago today I came into this world and can I just say I was very adorable! Now 17 years later I’m living young, wild and free! Today’s my 17^th birthday and can I just say I feel like I’m getting old. I just want to stay 17 forever! I’m loving life right now and I love everything that has happened to me the past 17 years! I celebrated my birthday last night and today. Last night with my dear friend Whitney, we had a footloose party, went to Brigham and were just dorks! Then today I went to work, opened presents, went out to eat with my parents and came home and had some dairy queen ice cream cake! Oh I love birthdays!

 
 
 

17 only comes once in a lifetime <3

Angel Lullaby

I haven't been able to get My Turn On Earth songs out of my head all day! I have no idea how I even started thinking of them or started singing them or even remembering the lyrics to the songs! I haven't watched this movie in years, but I absolutely love it! The Angel Lullaby song was always my favorite. I remember when I was little and me and Madison would lay in our bunk beds and just beg  my mom every night to sing us the Angel Lullaby song, then after she would sing it me and Madison loved naming every angel that was in our room (one by our bed, one by the window, etc.) Not gonna lie, when I cant sleep at night I actually sing this song until I fall asleep! I cant wait tell I'm older and get to sing this lullaby to my children. Its diffidently a keeper!

Young Women General Broadcast

So my mom and I got the privilege of going to the Young Women General Broadcast at the conference center. We made a day out of it by going down to Salt Lake City to go shopping and check out the new mall called City Creek. Then we went to the broadcast. Oh how I just loved it! How can you not love being in the same room as the prophet and listening to his voice and knowing that everything the speaker was saying is just like what Jesus would be telling you. I loved every minute of it! I absolutely love Sister Elaine S. Dalton. Her talks always make me think and make me feel the spirit so strong. I am truly blessed to be able to live in Utah and have opportunities like this where I can be in the presence of the true and living prophet today!

Prom Night!

So the big day finally happened! I had been stressing about it for months now because I was prom chairman but I think it ended up being the perfect prom! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better date or a better group! I couldn't help but think that a year ago I was dreaming about this day as I was watching all my friends go to prom and now it was finally my turn. For our day date we did it Friday night and just went to Tanner's church and plays dodge ball, watched a movie, ate food, and basically had a photo shoot :) it was so much fun because it was so laid back and chill. Then Saturday I woke up early to go over to Logan to decorate for prom then came home, got ready, went to promenade, ate at Elements (oh how it was delicious) and then danced the night away! I have to say this was one of the funnest dances I have been to. Just looking around at the decorations and thinking, Wow I did all of this, made it all the more better! All in all it was an amazing night!

Photo shoot anyone?

My favorite is the I am a Child of God block in the center!

Oh how I just love my Bestest Friend!
