Beniefit Concert Dance


I had the opportunity to dance at a Benefit Concert for the Nielson Family that was burned in the plane crash. It was an amazing experience. I got to meet wonderful people and share my talent. This was my first ever solo, which i put together 6 days before the concert. Enjoy!!

P.S. This is my first attempt at uploading video. Hope it works!!! You may have to right click and select "watch on youtube" so it will get bigger...

Ok...Really? Honestly? For Real? Seriously?


I've decided to officially rename this Blog "Amber's Life Adventures" or "Amber:a series of fortunate events" or ....(this is where i need your feedback. I have very witty family members that i know won't let me down) Sadly, i don't have access to change the name, so i might just have to start my own. You see, you now all have your own and it makes no sense for you to utilize this blog. 

What i initially set out to write about is how much i love you all. As mother told me, i've been given a very different set of challenges and they're hard to face sometimes. But, i also have been blessed with an amazing family that i know loves me to infinity and beyond. Thank you all for being my rod to hold onto. 

To all the wonderful wives and mothers in the fam: You all are incredible. You show me what a gift it is to be a woman! I've learned so many valuable lessons from each of you, for you all have your unique talents in mothering. You make me EXCITED to be a wife and mom!!! Plus, i know that i'll always have someone to turn to when one kid is screaming, one is painting the walls with a sharpie, one has gum stuck in their hair,the laundry isn't done, the dishes are overflowing in the sink, & i can't come up with an idea for dinner...all while i'm trying to help the kids with their homework and prepare a relief society lesson. Thank you for all you do and the love you show me.

To all the studly men in the fam: I often think about how lucky i was to grow up with the best brothers a girls could have. Not to mention the wonderful additions(Jody and Don!) What great examples you are to me as i search for my eternal love :) Each of you have shown me what a blessing it is to have the priesthood in my life. You show me how a man should treat a lady, for you all are great husbands and fathers. (this may or may not be a good thing seeing as i am now extremely picky and demand a lot!!!-kidding) Thank you for your prayers and support. 

I love to watch people and being in this marvelous family, i've learned important life lessons. All of my fondest memories that i hold closest to me are of my family.  Last but not least, To all my adorable (yes adorable, that includes you older boys that probably don't want to be associated with such a word) nieces and nephews. What joy you bring me!!!! I can't imagine life without you. You all are so precious to me and i'm the luckiest aunt in the whole wide universe. I treasure your hugs and kisses. Thank you for bringing me such true everlasting happiness!!!

I hope to see you all soon and i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!


P.S. the title of this post is in reference to this darn cold i've been sporting for three days. I awoke monday morning feeling awful. Then i took medicine that kept me up until 4 a.m. this morning. thats right i went over 40 hours with no sleep. I had an interview this morning and woke up ten minutes before i had to be there. Let me tell you, going in there with a scratchy man voice, eyes red and puffy, nose running, and no clue what i was applying for... was not the best way to impress. I'm 100% sure i'll get the job-NOT.
