Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters

Here are some pictures of my recent dance recital. It was based off of the book "Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters". It's kind of like an African Cinderella. I was the King's messenger and that is why I look kind of snotty in some of them (the red dress pics). It took me a lot of practice to be able to get into that "I'm better than you" kind of character. However, I had a lot of fun and am proud to say that I did not forget my solo for one concert!!  These first two pictures are of our village celebrations. We had a lady come from SLC to teach us, and there were also live drummers. I have to say that I don't especially like dancing to live drummers. It is very hard.

I will soon have a video of my dances on here. I hope! 

Titanic-the daunting tradedy

Last night I watched Titanic for the first time. I have decided that it is one of my favorite movies.  It is also the first movie I have cried in (everything was there except the tears). My heart just aches whenever I see people fall or die or drown or whatever. It just makes me so sad. What made it worse was thinking the whole time that it actually happened. People really died like that. I just couldn't help but internally cry. It was one of the saddest, yet best movies I have ever seen.
