I am cannot wait to go! I was thinking of going with my older brother, since he had read the trilogy a long time ago, and especially since it is a PG13 movie. I have been counting down for this event! I even made this adorable twig and felt arrow {as shown above} into a necklace! Who else is planning to go to The Hunger Games?

I started reading The Hunger Games two weeks ago. I've joined the rest of the world! (: I finished the first book in 6 days, and now I am on to Catching Fire. I am on page 25, because I started today. (: I also made these awesome book marks with some of my FAVORITE quotes. (:

Dance

Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another. ~Author Unknown

I don't want people who want to dance, I want people who have to dance. ~George Balanchine

Dance is a song of the body. Either of joy or pain. ~Martha Graham

Dancers are the athletes of God. ~Albert Eisenstein

Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I love dance. I can't live without it. Even if its in my bedroom, the gym at school, or in the studio itself, I cannot stop dancing. I tap at school, dance lyrical at home in my bedroom, do jazz dance turns in the mall, and do ballet while I am walking. I leap in the hallways when no one is looking, or I shuffle ball-change in my classroom. I can't stop dancing, nor can I live without it. I love the thrill of getting those open turns perfect, get a triple turn amazing, or get those splits down all the way. I love it when I can balance for a long time for scorpion contests, or getting platinum in competitions. I love being elected team captain twice in a row.

I love telling the story through my movements in lyrical, or hearing 'Point{e} your toes! Straighten your knees! ' from my teacher, or laughing when it takes me three times to spell 'point' 'normally'. I love giving it all I got in jazz, or mastering new moves in tap class for the first time. I love getting those new ballet shoes and sewing the straps, claiming that the new tap shoes are better because they aren't arched at your mom laughs. I love dancing and stretching so hard that I pull a muscle every two weeks, and then I am sore and can't walk at school.

I love watching the older girls in awe as they do their company dance. I love hearing my ballet teacher's stories about her dance lessons in Russia, and getting to see pictures.

Oh Gingerbread Houses,

Today we made our gingerbread houses. We wanted to wait until after the holidays to do them. (: I know, I know, they aren't the best houses you've seen. . .but come on! We tried! :) 

I cut up gum for shingles, and we also used Dots, Skittles, and Hot Tamales.

Uhh. . .a heart?

My day two of 366!

My family will also be having my FAVORITE dinner tonight, noodles and meatballs! I love my mom's recipe for them. Noodles are my all time favorite food. (: This has been the best Sunday ever! I hope that the {rest of the} Sunday and your  Mondays will go well! :) I hope you had a good weekend as well!

Day One {and some sad news}

Picnik is closing! The amazing site I edit so many photos and make all my banners on is closing! I am so sad. The good thing is that everyone can use every premium feature! (:


I will be starting a 365! {plus one, because of leap year} I will post it on this blog. I might not get every single day, but I will most likely take more than 366 photos this year. (: I will be putting my watermark on them, and I will also be putting the number photo it is.
