From marrying my best friend to finding out I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Every day is a learning experience. I am learning to be happy despite any challenge. I wanted to create a place where I can share my stories and experiences so others might find more hope for happiness.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 18px;"> </span></span><br />

When I decided to leave on a mission 5 months ago I knew I had just signed up for the hardest thing I will have ever done. And I hadn't even thought about how hard it would be to say goodbye to all my family, friends, students and loved ones. I have been so blessed to be surrounded by the best people all my life. They have helped me become who I am today. I love every memory and moment we share. Saying goodbye is a scary and heartbreaking thing. Although I am very sad to say goodbye I can't wait to say Hello to the people in Nicaragua. I can't wait to fall in love with them like I have with my friends here. I can't wait to share the joy I feel every day because of the Gospel with my brothers and sisters in Nicaragua. Because I have been given much I too must give. I know it will be a great reunion when I return and am reunited with all my loved ones. Right now I am locking them in my heart to keep safe while I serve the Lord. I have already felt my heart grow 2 sizes bigger to fit all the people I will meet in Nicaragua. I love my Lord, I know this is the true church and that is why I must serve. <br />
I can't say thank you enough for all the love I felt from everyone! I think I may be the luckiest girl in the world to be surrounded by such incredible people. God be with you til we meet again!<br />

April 30th I will be leaving to serve in the Managua Nicaragua North Mission! Sunday, April 28th, I will be speaking in church at 1:00. I would love to see any or all of you there. Our church building is on the corner of 9600 N. 6000 W. in Highland. Later that evening we will be having an open house from 6:00-7:30. There will be refreshments, visiting, goodbyes and lots of laughs. All are welcome to stop by! This will be held at my home. I would love to see you at church and/or the open house later on!Savannah Kendallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497527725160508230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567289105109574381.post-6926012474266014912013-04-24T07:21:00.002-07:002013-04-24T07:21:58.778-07:00A Weekend in St. George<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My BESTIE Lauren accompanied me on a quick trip to St. George this weekend. I was headed to the sunny city to work! My cute girls did INCREDIBLE at their dance competition and as always, I had a blast watching them on stage. Lauren was sweet enough to take pictures, make food runs and get all the dances on camera. We had way too much fun in our free time exploring the city, catching some sun-rays and pulling late nights! </div>

Premiere- This group is by far my favorite to teach. We have all become such great friends. This is also my favorite dance I have choreographed this year. It is to the song "Men of Snow" and these girls always bring it to life. I could watch them dance forever!<br />

I am so grateful for my job as a dance teacher. These girls have changed my life forever. Seeing them is always the best part of my day. I can't believe I get paid to dance with some of the best girls I have ever known. What a dream! I love them all so much and am heart broken to say goodbye. I can't wait to see how much they have grown as dancers and young women when I return though. SPARKLE BABY! Love you girls!</div>

Loved our quick trip to the city! I have the best dad who worked the entire trip so mom and I could go out exploring. He spoiled us rotten. Everyday was full of adventures. We tried new food, met interesting people and walked until we couldn't walk any more. I am so grateful for my parents, their love, sacrifice, generosity, support and forgiveness. They teach me everyday and help me have the courage to face the world. Love you mom and dad!Savannah Kendallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497527725160508230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567289105109574381.post-77372983708159298692013-04-11T13:59:00.000-07:002013-04-11T13:59:42.566-07:00Night Sky<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Something about the night sky is so promising.<br />
The moon and the stars never let me down.<br />
I know every night, no matter where in the world I am, they will come out and pour their light over my skin. They will sprinkle light over the skin of those I miss around the world as well.<br />
They protect my loved ones for me when we are apart.<br />
The stars keep me from feeling alone.<br />
Something about the night sky makes me wonder about.....forever.<br />
I feel like I could swim through the sky, tip toe on the stars and lay on the moon for eternity.<br />
Mystery and possibility draw me to it over and over again.<br />
I feel like the stars come out each night to give me comfort and a reminder that we are all living in the same world.<br />
Everyone sees the same stars and the same moon.<br />
The moon and the stars remind me of him.<br />
They help me remember the crisp night air and the warm embrace of his arms.<br />
They remind me of his whispers, our regretful and impossible goodbyes and the quiet "I love you's".<br />
They remind me of the many nights they kept us company as we laid and admired them in each others arms.<br />
The dark sky helps me hold on to the nights we danced by the light of the moon and talked quietly til morning.<br />
The stars remind me of the perfect night we spent walking along the beach, dancing on the balcony and watching fireworks over the ocean.<br />
They remind me of the night he played piano for me until I felt like I was floating.<br />
They remind me he is still there,<br />
looking at the same moon and same stars.<br />
Just in a different place....<br />
The stars understand that we are not alone and help us through the hard times.<br />
Stars help me remember there is much more out there than my small worries.<br />
There is an entire universe of happenings going on.<br />
So it is okay to "let it go", be a little irresponsible and take risks.<br />
It is okay to not have it all together because no one else looking up at the stars does either.<br />
They give everyone something beautiful to look forward to at the end of each day.<br />
And the night sky holds all the possibility of a wonderful tomorrow.<br />
<br />

I always love looking at all the neat things he has collected. I was in heaven playing with all his type writers, cameras and telephones.</span></div>

I love the fun we have as a family Easter morning searching for eggs and laughing with one another. However, I love remembering my Savoir, his life, atonement and Resurrection more. I am grateful I have parents that take time to talk to us about the importance of Christ and his Resurrection I appreciate their willingness to share their testimonies and help strengthen mine. The Resurrection has always been a highlight of the Gospel to me. It gives me hope, peace and excitement. I can't wait to be reunited with my sister and other loved ones that have passed on. He lives and loves us. That to me is amazing. </div>

Last week my family made the 16 HOUR DRIVE (yes, I thought I was going to die) to Texas to attend the annual Bushman Reunion. It is always so good to see all of the family. We do what one would expect at a family reunion - visit, play games, enjoy late nights and eat, A LOT. The theme this year was Missionary work. How appropriate! We all were given a "mission call" before arriving and asked to prepare facts, meals,scriptures, skits and memories (if you had already served a mission). It was fun to hear about my Uncles and Papa's missionary experiences, as well as look at souvenirs/pictures from their missions. All 41 of us attended Sacrament together and got to hear from my Nana and Papa before leaving on their mission to Martins Cove. I am very grateful for their examples and testimonies. They both carry the spirit with them where ever they go. The older cousins sang a medley of Sisters in Zion and Army of Helaman in sacrament. The spirit during that song consumed me. It was so powerful to sing what I believe with people I love. I miss all my family already and will always remember this reunion. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I am a perfectionist. The first step is admitting it
right? I have to be the
"perfect" student, dancer, daughter, teacher, missionary,
friend......person. That's what I
thought at least. But this week I
learned something. I can't be perfect. At least not my definition of perfect
and I am not supposed to be. Christ is
perfect and that is enough. Trying to be
"perfect" is only going to make me unhappy and a master of failure. I have discovered my definition of perfect
has been wrong. In this life to be perfect is to be complete. Which means the good and the bad, weakness
and strength, weird and normal, because that is how God intended us to be while
here. So, I am trying to change my
thoughts and my mind. I think I will
always want to do my best and strive for excellence but I am ready to
change. I don't HAVE to be anything. I
am free to change, create and recreate myself.
God gave me weaknesses so I would have experiences. He knew I wouldn't be tempted by
drugs, alcohol, partying, swearing or stealing but he did know I would expect a
lot from myself, I would buy into the Medias lies, I would be tricked by
society and I would forget where my worth comes from. That is the experience he needed me to have
and I am having it. I am learning every
day. I am learning to love my good, bad, odd, goofy, shy, crazy, loud, quiet
and weird sides. I am learning who I
have become today, is an accumulation of everything I have heard, experienced,
seen, done, not done, dreamed and heard my entire life. I am still trying to figure out what
thoughts, that have been shoved in my overcrowded head, are true and which
aren't, but I know the Lord will help me do that. I am learning to love all the "different"
parts of me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love that I have
long hair and have no idea what to do with it. I love that my face fills up
with freckles during the summer. Or that my eyes are just as indecisive as me
and change colors every day. I love the
tiny birth mark on my right shoulder.
And the lone freckle on the palm of not only my right hand but my left
as well. I am learning to accept and
love my body. I am accepting that I
don't have supermodel legs and a movie star face. And that is okay. Because I look like me and nobody will ever
look just like me. I am learning it is
okay I am terrified of love. I am afraid....to love, that I am impossible to
love and that I will be hurt by love. I am accepting that part of me and
learning from it. I love that I laugh to loud. Or that I am dramatic and scream
when unnecessary. I love that I hug too
often but that I don't care because it is my favorite thing in the entire
world. I love the way my fingers fumble over the piano but I could play for
hours trying to figure it out. Or that I run around my home on my tip toes
talking in a squeaky voice. And that I
am a horrible cook. I love that cupcakes
put a smile on my face. I love that I
blush several times a day. Or that I dance anytime, anywhere - the grocery
store, car, bedroom, while doing dishes, while folding laundry, when I am
extremely happy and of course in the dance studio. I love that my heart grows a little bigger
every time I get a new student. I love
my faults, differences, odd ends and imperfections. Because without them I wouldn't be me. I am still learning how to love ALL the parts
of me but I know that will come. I know I
will have hard days when I don't feel like enough, or like I'm not good at
anything, or like no one could love all my different sides. But it is then I
will ask the Lord to remind me of my worth to him, and that is enough.<o:p></o:p></div>

February 22, 2001 my baby sister returned home to our Father in Heaven. I remember the day like it happened only a moment ago. I was seven years old, bouncing around our home, anxiously awaiting the phone call that would announce the arrival of my baby sister. I thought <u>finally</u>, another girl in the home to help keep the boys at bay! <u>Finally</u> a baby sister to dress up, teach dance to, laugh with and love. The phone call letting us all know we could go visit her and our parents in the hospital couldn't come fast enough. When the phone call finally came I could barely stand still long enough for my grandma to tell me my mom wanted to speak with me. Full with so much excitement I thought it might spill out of me, I answered the phone. My mom sweetly said, "Avalon had a blood clot. Do you know what that means?" At the age of seven I instantly knew what had happened. I knew baby Avalon wouldn't be coming to our home, instead she was with our Father in Heaven. I know the Spirit spoke the words to me that my mom could not, and shouldn't have had to at that time. I <u>know</u> in that moment Jesus Christ was carrying my mother and holding my hand.That was one of the hardest days of my life. However, that day I learned more, felt more love, relied more on my Heavenly Father than ever before. I gained the important testimony of Eternal Families. I am so grateful for that incredible blessing. It has now been 12 years since my family said goodbye to her and I know we all still miss her everyday. I can't wait to meet my sister in Heaven. I so look forward to that joyful day when we will chat, hug, giggle and love. Until then I am grateful to have an angel in Heaven looking over my family. I will do all I can and be all I can to make her proud and be able to live with her again as an eternal family.<br />

<br />
Read at Avalon's funeral by my parents:<br />
<br />
"One of the ways we have chosen to remember Avalon is by registering and naming a star after her. The Star will bare her name and will stand as an eternal memorial to her and as a symbol of our undying love for her as a cherished member of our family.<br />
<br />
We have a goal as a family to live together forever with our extended mortal family and with our Heavenly Father. Just as the wise men on that storied night so many years ago had the new star to guide them to the Christ child, we will have our star in the heavens as a constant reminder and navigation point to guide us to our eternal destination. As we struggle through the storms of our mortal journey, we will have our star to shine down and brighten us during our darkest nights. As her brothers and sisters experience the trials and triumphs of this life, they will have their star shining down on them to share their tears and their laughter. As her parents, we will labor to fill the void left in our lives, but we will have our star to warm and to heal our broken hearts. We will have our star; forever we will have our star."<br />
<br />
Avalon, we love and miss you. Please lead us home.

I look forward to the flowers, treats, kind words, cards, celebrations, rosy cheeks, pink lips, dolled up girls, sweet men and happiness surrounding love. This year I wanted to do something special for my family to show how much I love them. So......I cut out HUNDREDS of hearts and heart attacked every room in our home. It was an explosion of pink and red! I also woke up early to make heart shaped french toast lathered in NUTELLA (a personal favorite), peanut butter, syrup, cool whip and strawberries. I filled my day with all things LOVE. I watched romantic movies, spent lunch with one of my best friends laughing so hard we were brought to tears, throwing valentines parties in EVERY dance class I taught, eating a heart shaped pizza for dinner and going out for a night of treats and laughter with a sweet guy. It was a happy day. What can I say, I love.... LOVE. This is a video of snippets from the day (because I always have a camera on hand and have to make a video of anything semi-interesting).<br />

I thoroughly enjoy the celebration side of Valentines day, but that is not the reason I look forward to it. My mom has always made it a point to celebrate our love as a family on Valentines day. Although I like to think we do this every day, it is always nice to have a special day for it. My family is my everything. I wish I could express how much I love them in words but it is simply impossible. I do try to show my love for them everyday though with smiles, conversations and my favorite, hugs. I like to think LOVE is the glue of this gospel. It holds everything together and keeps us strong. It is through love we teach, learn, repent, serve and change. One of my favorite scriptures comes from 1 John Chapter 4. All of it is excellent but verse 8 says something special to me. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for <u>God is love</u>." Out of everything that could be said following the words "God is", love was used. I hope we can always remember the importance of pure love.<br />

This video was filmed (rather we stuck a video camera on the table and ran to turn it on and off) at about 3 a.m. after celebrating Jessie's 13th birthday. Prepare yourself for some epic dance moves and incredible lip-syncing. Love my cousins! Especially this one. </div>

Sorry for the picture overload! Just too many good memories to pick from. Savannah Kendallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497527725160508230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567289105109574381.post-32429338277294186822013-01-20T20:47:00.000-08:002013-01-20T21:57:51.254-08:00I love to see the Temple.It has been a busy, productive, exciting and wonderful week. January 19, 2013 is a day I will always remember. I will remember it as the day I went to the Temple. The day I made sacred covenants with my Heavenly Father. And the day I got the tiniest glimpse into the blessings and happiness this gospel has in store for the true and faithful. <br />
This week while preparing to enter the Lords house I felt curious, excited and very anxious. It dawned on me that I am growing up. I am an adult. This is so very <u>real</u> and of eternal importance. I thought of the song "I Love To See The Temple" often. It seemed just a few years ago I was singing the beautiful song in Primary thinking it would be "FOREVER" until I went to the Temple. Well "forever" came a lot faster than I thought it would and I was not going inside "someday" I was going inside <u>today,</u> And I am so glad I did. The Temple is an incredible place and I can't wait to return. I am always in awe of the love and blessing Heavenly Father gives his children. I am so grateful for this simple and true gospel. I know it is true. I am grateful for my opportunity to share it. Life seems so <u>real</u> right now. I seem to be gaining a greater understanding of what is of eternal importance and should take priority in my life. God loves his children and wants them to be happy. I hope we can always remember that. <br />

This week was also exciting because one of the studios I work at had their winter concert. This year we put on the production "Peter Pan". It was a fantastic show! I loved seeing my sweet students on stage. They made the cutest "Lost Boys" I have ever seen. </div>

Long story short, I have decided to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I LOVE this Gospel, I KNOW it is true and I MUST share it. I enter the Guatemala Missionary Training Center May 1 where I will prepare to the serve the people of Managua, Nicaragua in the Spanish language. I have about a million things running through my mind at any given point of the day. I wonder how I can leave my family, friends, plans, job, music, dance, students and so many other things. I then think how could I NOT leave all of that to find my brothers and sisters in Nicaragua that are searching for the truth. How could I, who has been so completely blessed, not go share this message of peace and happiness with those that are feeling lost. I feel so grateful to be a part of this work. <br />

I just wanted to say that today I am extra grateful for my best friend Lauren. I lucked out landing her as a friend. She is the greatest example to me everyday. She is the kind of friend that will drop anything and everything to be there for you. She is the kind of girl that will attend the Temple with you. She will talk to you for hours and hours about silly things, as well as things of the most importance. She will stay up late, listen to music, go crazy and have dance parties with you. She is the kind of friend that will put up with a weirdo like me! I love this gal. <br />

Due to "popular demand" (wink wink) I am back! Life has been crazy busy and I feel guilty for not posting as of lately. Hopefully I will get back in the swing of things and post a couple times a month. <br />
The past couple months have been nothing short of INSANE. I moved back out, am attending school, working like a mad women and having adventures everyday! First off, I have to say I lucked out and got the most amazing roommates anyone could ask for. Seriously, these girls mean more to me than they probably know. I love coming home after a long day, collapsing to the floor out of pure exhaustion and then laughing the night away with my roommates. Second, I think I may have the greatest job on this planet. I get to teach my favorite thing, dance, to some of the most darling girls out there. Nothing beats arriving at the studio and having 10 little girls run up to you yelling "Miss Savannah!" then giving you a great big hug. I love these girls! Third, I some how got lucky enough to meet a great guy and have adventures with him the past couple of months. We talked, sang, danced, traveled and laughed! Thailand is lucky to have him for the next two years. Good luck Jesse! Love you!<br />

Now that we have the quick update out of the way, time for the important part of this blog, being inspired. I, like I am sure all of you, LOVED General Conference last month. One of my favorite talks came from Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf. At one point he said "Don't wait until you are ready to die, to decide to live." Wow. This talk reminded me of a quote I like from Buddha, "The trouble is, you think you have time." Life is short, really short, we can't waste time being unhappy, hating others, having regrets, holding back or being afraid. Say what you feel, spend time with those you love, make memories worth remembering, go crazy every once in awhile, because time is passing by and once it is gone there is no getting it back.<br />

If you haven't spent some time looking through a few of the clips on lds.org, I advise you do. In Sunday school today we watched a Mormon Message titled "Men's hearts shall fail them". In this video Russel M. Nelson gives an account of a plane ride he experienced that took a scary turn. He ends with a powerful message and testimony. <br />
<br />
Check out the clip here <a href="http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng#mens-hearts-shall-fail-them">http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng#mens-hearts-shall-fail-them</a><br />
<br />
While you are already visiting the Mormon Messages page, check out my personal favorite titled "Good things to come". <a href="http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng#good-things-to-come">http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng#good-things-to-come</a><br />

Love the Hinckleys!

However, I have a pretty decent excuse. Last week was the annual Bushman Reunion. This year it was planned and hosted by my family. Meaning we would be housing 40 people for the week. It was absolute madness at our house! Constant laughter, music, games and my personal favorite, food! I think it is safe to say we all had a blast catching up with cousins, renewing relationships with Aunts and Uncles and of course indulging in my Papas famous peanut butter candy. I am unbelievably blessed to have such a wonderful family. I couldn't ask for better examples in my life.<br />

The Olympics!! Hooray! I think the Olympics are simply incredible. Every time they come around I seem to find a new sense of motivation. The story these Olympians share is breathtaking. The hard work, struggle, dream, defeat, success and endurance they experience is the ultimate example of never giving up. To go after a dream so full heartedly is something they will never regret. We all have the same opportunity, the opportunity to go after a dream and never back down. <br />

This week I was lucky enough to teach a Princess Dance Camp. It was a blast! We learned about all the Disney princesses, danced, had a tea party, colored ball gowns, leaped over magic carpets, sang and ultimately had a Grand Ball. All the beautiful young "Princesses" I taught were giggly and excited. We had a wonderful time together and they in return taught me a lot. Several of the activities we participated in involved having a partner. What a fresh breath of air it was to see the young girls run to one another and ask to be friends. Not one girl felt embarrassed or nervous to ask a fellow classmate to be their friend. Oh how I miss this! When did I grow up, complicate things and let life get in the way. These girls reminded me why we are told to be "childlike". The innocence, happiness and simplicity I saw in each of these girls is exactly what I want. It is time to get back to the meaningful things in life.<br />

As I was sitting in the congregation surrounded by my friends, and listening to this young man speak about the privilege of going on a mission, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmingly blessed. I am so lucky to have the friends that I do. Friends that are willing to leave their families for two years and serve the Lord. Friends that make me better because of their example. Friends that make me smile and laugh so often I feel like I've had an AB workout after spending time with them. I don't think friends come any better than mine. Good Luck Elder McKenna! You have changed my life for the better and I know you will be an incredible missionary. <br />

One of the studios I am working with this summer has made Dr. Seuss the theme of their summer session. In preparation for my classes I have read several Dr. Seuss books/quotes. As a result I have absolutely fallen in love with everything Dr. Seuss! Here are a few of my favorite quotes I have come across.</div>

Over the years the 4th of July has made its way to the number one spot on my favorite holiday's list. I have fallen in love with the barbeques, the sparklers, the watermelon, the sun, the poppers and the summer night sky brought to life by explosions of color. I hope you all have a lovely 4th!<br />

President Monson always seems to have beautiful quotes that say exactly what I need to hear. My newest favorite quote of his says "Don't save something for a special occasion. Every day of your life is a special occasion." Now that summer has hit and life has slowed down for a few minutes, it has become easy for me to coast by day to day. After reading this quote I felt completely guilty for not making the most out of my time each day.<br />
Make the time count because it goes by too fast. And once it is gone, you can't get it back! Decide to make <u>today</u> meaningful and memorable! <br />
