Now the zumba version:<br />

<br />
This is what zumba is all about- a totally random group of people, none of them experienced dancers, each with their own style- letting it all out together. I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but you can't help but watch this and think, "I want to go to that class."Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07843123521052592763noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939277335099688618.post-85371708755889313822012-06-04T10:56:00.000-06:002012-06-04T10:56:43.937-06:00Forget-me-notsI have the coolest mom.<br />

Several moves and degrees later, she is in Boston doing administrative work for an inner city school. <a href="http://kristinelizabethgreen.blogspot.com/">Tin Tin</a> also works at the same school as a teacher.<br />
<br />
For Memorial day, we took a hike around middlesex falls together. As I shared things about my life and in turn listened to their stories, I couldn't help but be so grateful for these women and their friendship. When you tell someone about what you are going through, it is always nice to hear an empathetic "yeah, me too." It also doesn't hurt to stay up late watching youtube videos of <a href="http://youtu.be/9ro0FW9Qt-4">This</a>.<br />

I recently visited my sister, <a href="http://kellyandcassi.blogspot.com/">Cassi</a>, in Georgia. Her husband, Kelly, is in the middle of his second tour of duty in a year with the Air Force. With Kelly gone, Cassi keeps herself plenty busy raising her toddler Daphne. Daphne is precocious, smart (thanks to her mommy) and knows how to melt your heart.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It was so good to see my sister and her day to day life. In addition to looking after Daphne, she is devoted to occupying herself with meaningful activities, very little which benefit herself. From leading the 12-18 year-old young women in her church congregation, to keeping up her garden; she fills each day that Kelly is gone. I especially enjoyed the enriching conversations, the gymnastics, the traditional boarding house styled lunch and the nighttime movies.<br />

<br />
<br />
There is something about coming in to this view last wednesday, after the day we had on Tuesday that makes you want to jump up and down and sing. Tuesday was a foggy, wet mess. At one point my co-worker Michelle looked up, and seeing the storm outside, cried "What a horrible day!"<br />
<br />
Tuesday night I laid in bed reading and smiled because I had done something very exciting and brave. It began with a familiar inner dialouge which went something like this: <br />
<br />
"I could really go for some (choose a flavor) Ben and Jerrys" <br />
<br />
"Not a great idea. you've already had chocolate today remember?" <br />
<br />
"Oh yeah, true." <br />
<br />
Five minutes goes by <br />
<br />
"I could really go for some (choose a flavor) Ben and Jerry's" <br />
<br />
"Alright, compromise, if you ride your bike to the store you can get some. Plus you need contact solution."<br />
<br />
So I got on a bike and rode toward the store. One problem though, the air was filled with mist and rain and it was cold. After a few moments I thought I should head back. I circled around my neighborhood, but then realized that that wasn't what I wanted. I wasn't so cold anymore and the lightness the bike provided as I flew through the small streets was unparalleled. So I rode, and before I knew it I was way past the store and practically flying. I whizzed through neighborhoods with huge green trees that grew over the streets all the while inhaling the sweet smell of rain and flowers. After what felt like no time at all, I finally stopped and took in my surroundings. I was in a neighborhood several miles from my house. I looked down at my hands, they were shaking.<br />
<br />
When I got home, my entire back and legs were covered in mud and water. I threw my clothes in the washing machine and jumped into a hot shower. A bit later, I slid into bed to read "Unbroken" with a smile on my face. It was a good night.Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07843123521052592763noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939277335099688618.post-72218739936671639082012-05-26T11:20:00.000-06:002012-05-26T11:54:11.786-06:00Easter with the OlenicksI first met Rachel when we lived in the same Flat (apartment or floor) during my London study abroad. A very dedicated student, she was the only one allowed to bring a laptop so she could write her thesis. The rest of us were required to write all of our papers by hand which if you've done before is pretty tiring. So, probably a bit annoyingly, we asked to borrow Rachel's laptop constantly. She didn't have to share with us, but she did, and she did it cheerfully and kindly. That's just the kind of person she is.<br />
<br />
Rachel and I kept in touch over the years despite moves, marriage, missions and schooling. Lucky for me, she and her husband Michael live in Pennsylvania now and we were able to reconnect over Easter weekend:<br />
<div>
<br />
Saturday we followed a dream itinerary that included a walk around historic Doylestown (found an old copy of Magical Mystery tour at a record shop!), a tour of the Mercer tile museum (so interesting), water ice (delicious), a Philly food tour (cheeses galore!), Mike's cheesteaks (the 1.5 hour wait in line was so worth it) and a revival show of West Side Story. I'm so sad that I left my phone at home that morning and didn't get to take any pictures.<br />
<br />
On sunday I got to be a part of Rachel and Michael's sunbeams class. Seriously, the cutest kids ever. My favorite was when one little boy raised his hand during the sharing time lesson and asked, "Can we go home now?" (Tell it how it is little brother!). After church, Rachel made a delicious Easter dinner. It was a great trip and I can't wait to see them again.<br />

A few years later we went back to London so Rochelle could run the London marathon. Her first marathon, which she ran in under four hours. Pretty impressive huh?</div>

Rochelle is smart, sassy, and the owner of the best gutteral laugh I've ever heard. She just finished law school a few weeks ago and is now studying to pass the bar. Congratulations Rochelle! For her visit we saw the Boston sights and then took a megabus to NYC and DC where we met up with Rose, another good friend from the BYU days. Rose enlightened and brightened our experience with good conversation and food for thought. It was so good to see her! Here are some pictures from our trip.</div>

Summer makes me think of public libraries. I can still remember going to the small Gilbert library in Arizona growing up. It was in an old house that was converted for the city's use. Sometimes I will have dreams that take place in this building. I remember the drinking fountain upstairs and that when you entered it smelled like air conditioning. I took a class in magic tricks from a clown in one of the classrooms. The basement had the children's section. Someone had painted an enormous tree on the wall. The library used to make up summer reading lists for kids. My mom would take us to get books and then we would get points at home for every book we read. At the end of the summer, we took a family vacation because of all the points we earned.<br />

Here are some of the excerpts:<br />
<br />
May 2, 2005: <i>En route to the airport</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
"This is going to be a fun little book for me to give details on our first adventure abroad. There'll be a lot of silliness and maybe a few serious moments. Plenty of giggles, beatles-jokes, and beautiful cinema galore." <br />
<br />
May 4, 2005:<br />
<br />
"I slept funny last night. Tash said I talked in my sleep and slept-walked. <br />
<br />
May 9, 2005:<br />
<br />
"The 'Big Red One' was fabulous...I cried slightly at the end-it was moving. As we came out underneath the Thames bridge a man was playing Borodin's 'Polovtsian Dances' on his saxophone. The sun was setting. It was a beautiful memory."<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
"Our church is AWESOME...I will play the piano in the primary ("That's the best calling in the church" said Dean D.) and teach the 4-7 year olds."<br />
<br />
May 14, 2005:<br />
<br />
"..we enjoyed 'punting' today. A Cambridge activity in which one sits in a boat and is gondoliered through the Cambridge river by a young scruffy Briton. Ours was rather scruffy and delicious. Tasha found herself wandering after him, but alas, he was not to be found."<br />
<br />
May 20, 2005:<br />
<br />
"Rowing on Friday was probably the most hilarious experience ever- horizontal rain, almost beaching ourselves, Hayley's cursing and Mimi's pirate impression."<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Lake District Highlights:<br />
The hike and discussion in the rain<br />
The lake tour<br />
Nighttime strolls and ducks<br />
"Elleray Pub- Good company and fun- Cheers!"<br />
Finding out we're related to Caitlin and Drew Duncan-cool! (Juarez, Turley)<br />
<br />
May 22, 2005:<br />
<br />
"We went to a pub to watch the FA final Arsenal vs. Manchester. The quality of the pub was 'Good drinks, good food and wicked atmosphere.'"<br />
<br />
May 23, 2005:<br />
<br />
"Feeling a wee bit overwhelmed. Funny because after our lunch we all resigned to naps in our flats."<br />
<br />
June 1, 2005:<br />
<br />
"Here we are at breakfast in Paris. Yesterday was a blurry baguette-full whirlwind of: Champs-Elysees, The Arc D'Triumph, The Eiffel Tower, a boat tour, Notre Dame, Dinner and bed!<br />
<br />
June 3, 2005:<br />
<br />
"Well my second day in Paris was great for different reasons than the first. Mainly: we weren't as rushed. There was a bit of moseying at breakfast. We consumed our 12 pieces of bread at the speed of sloths...<br />
<br />
"Finally we found the hospital museum. Three words describe it: Stifling, deserted, underwhelming. It had great potential for 'leper shrouds' as Hayley said."<br />
<br />
<i>...</i><br />
<br />
"Today was Versailles. The best thing was getting lost in the garden's beauty<i>."</i><br />
<br />
<br />
June 15, 2005:<br />
<br />
"I basically spent the whole day roaming around the flat trying to finish 'Kim.'"<br />
<br />
"Sara came up and we all bonded on Hayley's bed with jokes and Percy Pigs."<br />
<br />
"Sunday school was a wreck. I chased Earle around the whole building and was surprised at his speed...I took a knee to talk to him about reverence...then there was a closing song and goodbyes...we walked out...it was a whirlwind of faces, flowers, roses, red brick, green, breezes, pink cars and a train whistle. And that was the end of church in London."<br />
<br />
"Despite the threat of finals which we all pretended to be conscious of, we strolled to class. It's just not the situation to take it seriously in."<br />
<br />
"Me, Rochelle, Mimi and Tash spent a lot of time in the flats together those last days. Just sitting and talking quietly or thinking. After Bresson's 'Pickpocket' was Indian food at Gideon's flat. Me and Rochelle were greeted by an Indian-attired Gideon at the door...We left to take flat photos and turned in. Got up the next day and made our journey ready. Mimi got pastries and we all sat in our room quietly. The goodbyes didn't really need to be said because we all felt it."Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07843123521052592763noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939277335099688618.post-70416041113880895152011-03-25T01:58:00.001-06:002011-03-25T02:02:37.097-06:00Boston and MaineLast October I went to a work training in Lewiston, Maine. I wish I had had more time to take pictures, as the leaves were just beginning to change. Imagine street after street of cute new England houses with pumpkins on the porches and gold leaves on the trees! It was gorgeous, in other words. Here's the only picture I was able to take. It was outside where we had our training.<br />

</div><div>After we had finished up on friday, I was able to go visit my darling <a href="http://lifeaftered.blogspot.com/">Hayley</a> in Boston. Hayley is probably one of the funniest, most gorgeous, free spirited girls you'll ever meet. I didn't get a picture of the two of us unfortunately, but here is quick snap of her cute house in Boston:</div><div><br />

</div><div><br />
</div><div>On saturday, we took a drive out to Newport, Rhode Island. Newport is/was quite the wealthy town. In one area we found a long avenue that was lined with mansion after mansion house.<br />
<br />
</div><div><br />

<div>The last thing I got to see in Boston was by far my favorite and that was Walden Pond. The place is very peaceful and doesn't have that "touristy" feel at all. Hayley was brave enough to take a swim. I enjoyed walking the paths and checking out the site where Thoreau lived.</div><div><br />

Jenn wore the prettiest princess dress and seemed soo happy to be married to her love Jp. It may have rained at the temple but it was absolutely gorgeous outside (Az usually gets like .5 days of rain per year, so we'll take it!). I ate a ton of fro yo (frozen yogurt) and had a blast catching up with family.<br />

I think I'm going to bake some bread and work on a little filmy project. There's also a possibility of snowball fight later on.
