watching reruns of My So Called Life. I found the series on my roommates netflix and starting watching. Oh the memories! It is so funny. I remember all the music and the styles and story lines. And actually a lot of the thoughts and points of view that the main character Angela have are so true. It is fun to re-watch as an adult. And Jordan Catalano aka Jared Leto is still so attractive!

My name is…
Chelsea. But at work I am Cheryl, Celeste, Christy, Chrissy, etc. For some reason nobody can remember Chelsea. Actually, funny story about that. At my seminary graduation, the man calling the names also called me the wrong name. And it became a nickname among my friends. And then at my BYU graduation, the name was also butchered. I do not understand!
On a side note, at work today I caught a glimpse of the show “Charmed.” And who should be on there with a guest appearance but Rainn Wilson from “The Office.” He was so young. It was hilarious!

Church Entertainment
Yesterday I was sitting in church waiting to receive the sacrament. I was sitting with my roommate Erin and my friend Kanoe. We were the only ones on this particular row except for one girl at the end. And I guess we just didn’t stand out because we got skipped on receiving the sacrament. I was waiting and waiting, and wondering when they would serve us. It even crossed my mind as the men kept walking past us that they may not realize they hadn’t given it to us. And lo and behold I look back and they are forming their line to proceed up to the front. Well I caught one of the guys eyes, and he realized the mistake. I realize this is not the first time that has happened somewhere in the world. But it has never happened to me. We chuckled over it.
The laughter only grew as we received the second half of the sacrament. We of course were one of the first served cause they had to make sure they didn’t make the same mistake. The man was so eager to serve us he thrust it in front of us with just enough time to get our water cups and then he was gone. I tried placing my cup back but ended up looking foolish as I leaned over my roommate and missed. It was hysterical. I haven’t laughed that hard in church in awhile. Then right after someone else tried to serve us. We declined but were then able to discard our cups with him.

Bucket List
So I have never made an official bucket list. I think everyone has goals and things they want to do including myself. One of the things I have never done, but always wanted to do is watch the movie “Harold and Maude.” Yes you heard that correctly. Well I FINALLY watched it last night. And I loved it!!! It is so weird. Weird but Awesome!
Watching “Harold and Maude.” Check

Dancing, Dancing, and SH’Bam
I have always loved to dance. I can’t even express how much I love it. I have taken a few dance classes over the years. Different styles. The past few years I have religiously gone to a cardio dance class at my gym. It is one of the highlights of my week. About a year ago I decided that if the gym ever announced that they needed new instructors I would sign up. Well, back in January that is just what they did. Now, they were setting up trainings for all of their classes (yoga, combat, weight lifting, etc.). I attend many different classes, so there were a few I could be trained in. But my heart was set on BodyJam (that is the actual name). It is the hardest class to be trained to teach, so I was second guessing if I really wanted to do it. I really thought about doing another format when they never came out with a training for BodyJam. Well they recently added another dance class called Sh’bam. It is equally as fun and cardio challenging. So instead I signed up for that!
This past weekend was my Sh’bam training. I was extremely nervous. I was told I needed to know all of the song tracks and dances before hand. I had a week to practice. So basically for the past week all I have done is work, listen to the music over and over, and dance.
The training was over two days and was amazing! I have never danced more in my life. Hours of dancing, practicing technique. Of course we went over lots of other things, but we mainly danced. Think of the most physically grueling thing you have ever done with your body…then times that by 3. That was how I felt. Well, still feel cause I am still sore and tired.
My first day there I had to get up on stage and teach one of the dances. I have been on stages many times, but not for anything like this. And I nailed it! Ok, I wasn’t perfect. But for being new, it was really good if I do say so myself. I got back up on stage two more times on Sunday. I passed with flying colors. Now I just need to practice, practice, and practice some more,team teach, and then I will send a video of myself teaching to the company and be officially certified.
It felt really good to do something completely new and out of my comfort zone. I had to keep telling myself, “You can do this Chelsea!” And I did do it. So everyone I know, or who actually reads this will have to come to my dance class! I don’t care if you don’t dance…you can stand in the back.
