8th in the Nation

My high school's dance team that my two cousins, Sara & Rachel are on & is coached by my Aunt Terri & Aunt Judy went to NATIONALS this past weeked! {Sooo exciting!!} 

The girls performed awesome! It was so fun to watch & I'm so happy I was able to go :)

They placed 8th out of 20, which is seriously awesome {at Nationals!!!!} I'm so excited for them & their fancy trophy :)

As I said I was, I went to California this weekend for the dance competition. Our first stop was at Huntington Beach, it was pretty cloudy & cold, so I didn't even bother getting in my swim suit {although a few of the girls did & got in the water & everything!} But it was a ton of fun! That beach is so beautiful & Ruby's is so delish. :)

Weekly Goal 2

WRITE IN MY JOURNAL EVERY NIGHT

I've always felt it's important to keep a journal {plus, my major is writing, so...} & I just haven't been doing it at all lately. It really is a bummer because someone said in my English class while we were talking about journal writing that stories are lost forever once you die, unless you write them down. Even if you tell someone else the story, it won't ever be the same way you told it, and it's just not at all personal when it's not coming from you. Even if I just write down what I did that day or what thoughts came to me during that day, I want to write something about that day. Also, reading {to me} kind of goes hand in hand with journaling. If it's not too late, I want to try & read a chapter or two of a novel every night. I absolutely love reading & I haven't read a book in SO long because I am supposedly "too busy" so we'll just have to change that, too. :)
