Porter Post

Well, this is the first year in fifteen years that I will not be performing! I decided to focus more on my classes and on teaching ballet at a studio in Orem than to do BYU's Theatre Ballet. Last night I went to World of Dance, which was one of my favorite things to do when I was on company. I was accompanied by Jayce (such a loving husband to miss the football game to take me to a dance concert :-) ) and four other girls who also aren't doing company this year either. All of the performers did great! World of Dance is always so exciting because it's all of the touring companies doing some of their best pieces. If you have never been, go next year! The performance brought me flashbacks from the past as I remembered all the good things that dance has brought me over the years, especially seeing such good friends up on the stage. Nothing bonds girls together more than spending 15 1/2 hours a week in the RB rehearsing and taking class. I love them all dearly! Here are some...

It was so nice to have a three day weekend after the first week of school to plan ahead for the rest of the semester! Although, it was a sad thought to realize that there is nothing else until Thanksgiving break. Well, Jayce and I slept in on Saturday and Sunday, so we decided we wanted to get up earlier on Monday and do something active to start the day. We got some friends from the ward together and decided to hike the Y! I've become a big fan of hiking, although I'm by no means an avid hiker. I wish! I can see it becoming a hobby of some sorts later in life though. The climbing process always seems to be pretty grueling while you're going up, but once you reach the top it's so great! The view, your body is on an exercise high, you feel like you are on top of the world, etc. It was a fantastic way to start the day. If I only had the time to do that every day and Timp on Saturdays, I'd be FIT! Kirkman's, Quick's, Porter's, and Pingree's (Hope I got ...

Cabin Fixin! A week ago we spent some time up at the cabin fixing things up a bit. Since we're here enjoying weekend get-a-ways up at the cabin while the Porter's are serving over in New Zealand, we think it's only fair that we pitch in our part. Staining Stud. As you can see, while Jayce stained the deck, I made sure to stay with him and give him moral support. We pulled up some nasty suckers. Laurel and Jessica accidentally touched a certain part of some of the weeds that made their skin burn and blister a little bit. Ouch. A Couple Other Random Tid-bits: So, I thought I'd take a moment to just show off my cute family. They are some of the biggest Cougar Football fans in the Ashburn, Virginia area. My Dad has started to send me lots of pictures from home now that he has an iphone, making it super quick and easy. This is my latest and greatest: This is probably one of the greatest things EVER ! For Ben's birthday my sister made James a wig to match Ben's afro!!...
