1 - 10

I'm sadly lacking on life updates. So, prepare yourself for an overload of what's been going on lately.

1. I'm a brunette again!

It was kind of an interesting experience, in which I first became an EXTREMELY vibrant red head, and then a brunette, resulting in some very purple-y tinted hair for a couple of days. But don't you worry. Now it's more auburn on top and dark brown on bottom. I really like it. [P.S. I do have pictures of being red and purple, BUT.....I left my phone at my parents' house tonight, so I don't have them right now. Sad day. I know ya'll are dye-ing to see me with purple hair ;).]

Oh and my studly little brother finally got his Eagle Scout Award. So proud! 

2. Grandma and Grandpa on Dad's side got back from an LDS mission to the Kiev, Ukraine temple a few weeks ago! I'm so glad to have them back, and I got to have dinner with them today. And my favorite teeny-tiny purple mug from when I was little resurfaced again. Grandma is always hiding it from me, because I usually have to refill it 6-7 times to get a decent drink :).

My beloved childhood returns.

3. My other Grandma, my mom's fabulous mom, has been hounding me for pictures of my new apartment for quite some time now. (My previous apartment was torn down during Christmas Break.) So, you all get to see what it looks like too, and we'll take this slowly. As in, so slowly by the next time I get pictures up here I won't live here anymore. But it's a start, right?!

4. Last night, I got to get all fancied up and go to a dance with a Hunger Games' Capitol theme. We had a lot of fun with the make up and dresses, especially Reeann's.

Sorry Rachel, this is the picture that had the best quality!

At the dance, they also had several art students do caricatures. Reeann, Emily, and I gave our artist all the creativity he wanted, and this is what we got. From left to right: Emily, Reeann, me. We laughed so hard when we saw it. 

5. Nationals is this week! I'm super excited, especially to be competing smooth again. It will be weird not dancing with my high school team in medleys though. I miss that a lot.

Megan and I got our nails done in preparation :D

Best thing ever. I've seen this a lot, and it's so genius! No, I'm not going on a trip, but I will be using it to haul all of my ballroom stuff to, from, and around Nationals this week. So excited!

6. Slightly obsessed with this movie. I've now seen it 4 times.

7. Really ready for spring right about now. Enough of these fleeting warm-ish days. Bring on the heat and flowers!

8. I've decided I'm going to be more crafty and actually put my "Cutsy Crafty" board on Pinterest to good use. I came up with a list of things I want to try, and I'm excited to share them with you! Here's just a few things I want to do.

9. New goal this week: I'm going to try to read the scriptures every morning this week, instead of at night. All I need to do is wake up 15 minutes earlier. I can do this, right?

10. Another new goal for this week: eating healthy. Especially with nationals and being at the Marriott Center 24/7, nutrition tends to slide. At least 1 fruit per day, and waaaaay less sugar! Guess that means grocery shopping tomorrow! 

Have a fantastic week everyone!
