Dance Internship





I got a dance internship at Booth's Ballroom Dance Studio in Denver. It is an unpaid internship and I am going to basically be shadowing any and all of the instructors and see their teaching techniques and will also see how a large dance studio is run and organized.

I started yesterday and I am still a little iffy on what I should do. Because I am not getting paid, they are okay if I just stand around… which is not the kind of thing I like to do “at work.” But I will hopefully find my footing and get more comfortable with things.

Nissi’s







Last night, Ben went (with his Mom and Rachel) to Nissi’s, a restaurant/music club. They heard Eric Forsyth, a guy in our ward (and who we know from school) perform and said it was great. They stayed to hear the other performances and said it was a great atmosphere and Ben said it would be a really fun “date spot.”

Free Steak Dinner









Ben took a survey over the phone for the Fire Department and his name got put into a drawing for a ‘Promotional’ Free Steak Dinner and he was chosen. So we got to go to a Free Steak Dinner (with friends, so Mom came with us) at Magnolia. While we waited for our food a man taught us about fire safety and the proper care and maintenance of fire extinguishers and fire alarms in our homes. It was very educational and informative and….it was free.
Ben and I thought it was funny because we were BY FAR the youngest people there!!

Final Cake

I finished my cake decorating class and here is a picture of the final cake. (Well I can’t find batteries for my camera- so I will get a picture off when I find them.)
After we finished the class Nedra had to do the food for a post funeral luncheon and so Rachel and I decorated all the cupcakes with mini roses. It was fun to see all that we had learnt come to use in a ‘real life’ experience. (Pictures of cupcakes to come!)
