Dancing Queen!!

So , back in High School my friend Matt invited one of our Mutual friends Kenny to one of our stake dances. After watching me and my friend Liz dance for a while , Kenny tells me ."Afton, you are a dancing queen." It made me giggle. He was completely serious though.


I guess I havent lost the title yet. I'm not an Amazing dancer , but if I see a certian move done enough times , I can do it. AND remember it .


So last night after the Temple Trip there was a dance. I learned the basics of 2 more dances from Phillip. the something or the other ( I can't remember the title of it , but i DO remember the steps that i learned.) and the American style Rumba. While I was still learning the American style Rumba Phillip looks at me with a HUGE smile and says. " you are a quick learner." which is a BIG compliment coming from Phillip. He's so detail oriented which is what makes him a hard, but VERY good teacher.

I have no idea why I just blogged about that , but I guess I wanted to brag or something.

I'm not sure if this is going to post how i want it to ,but EVERYONE should watch this video. It's called You're gonna miss this. and it describes my life pretty good. Like I always said how i could'nt wait to turn 18 and just leave , but now i'm almost 21 and i miss those days. and i'm pretty sure this is how it's going to be all my life.

Sometimes.

I've come to realize that sometimes:

Life is going to suck

You're going to need a happy place

Good friends are all you really need

A hug makes everything better

You'll just need to cry. for whatever reason. even if that reason is no reason at all

You'll need to laugh at how dumb you are

Sometimes.

I'm so tired

I will be going to bed soon i promise , but i just had to blog. it's like an escape for me.

I got to talk to Gustavo today . It was so good. and i will always be amazed at how much we still Love each other even though we're SOOOO far away from each other. The 26th he'll have been out on his mission for 6 months. so we're really happy for that. It'll mean he's been out for a quarter of his mission , and will only have a year and a half until he's back home.and roughly a year and a half until we are married. you can ask either one of us we're pretty excited about it. I can already tell you it's going to be a rough first year though.

I went to the singles ward FHE tonight. I pretty much died. It was good don't get me wrong. I love the people ( most of them anyways) , and it was a pretty easy transition. One of the Elders that served as a missioinary in my family ward ,got transferred over to the singles ward. We've become BEST friends so that made me happy . I'm going to miss him when he goes home though :(

I find it funny how before my Gustavo went out , missionaries were whatever. I mean a few of my friends left on theirs so sure i missed them , but I just didnt care. Missionaries were just Guys. Now when I see missionaries it's like I analyze their lifes. I come up with stories for them. Every time i see one i wonder what their life was like Pre-Mission. for example : what were their friends like? what are their families like? Did they have girlfriends? stuff like that.

Now that i'm done rambling , i'm going to go to bed. I just thought i'd share a piece of my day. Night ya'll
