tender mercies.

today wasn't bad, but it wasnt good either. i went to cheer and the day seemed to be going great! we finally hit our pyramid that we've been working on for awhile! then went to art. fell asleep. freak yes!! took a nap in the library until third period. went to clothing and that class is obviously a joke. found some things out that made me sad, but tried to be optimistic since there was obviously nothing i can do about it. be happy for others. look at the bright side of things. then went to lunch and found out more bad news. do you guys ever do anything? yeah, no. thats what i thought. by the time i got to forth i was trying to be happy but it was taking a toll.

 

 *ding dong* this chick is getting answered to sadies!! be right back!

 

so precious! i'll explain later!

 

so anyways... back to forth period. i had a misunderstanding with my teacher and my emotions were already out of wack. so basically i start bawling in the middle of class. yeah. i dont cry in front of people. i was so so embarrassed it wasnt even funny. i was fine by the end of the period and all was well. tears releave a lot of stress. its okay to let them out every once in a while.

 

after school we went to slab! slab monday's! best pizza place out there! then went and bought fabric for my boxers. superman. thats whats up. came home and tried to sleep. worked for about twenty minutes. then couldnt sleep more. so i got up and started cleaning my room. i was kinda down on myself and then i hear my phone buzz. when i looked at it, it was from rachel. {read her blog. its amazing} just seeing her name made me smile. i opened the text and this is what i saw::

 

 

even though she's hundreds of miles away she still knows how to make me smile. love you to death rach!! thanks for making my day just a little bit brighter!! so grateful for the tender mercies that the big guy upstairs sends us everyday. he sure knows what he's doing!

 

went to a movie for family night. saints and soldiers. pretty good. came home. started blogging. doorbell rang. and here we are!

 

SO:: here's how i asked jorgen. the theme is cowboys. i know this is cheesey, but bear with me. we thought that we were hilarious!! oh. and btw i asked Jorgen Rasmussen!

 

 

 

 

i got a hay bale, rope, rootbeer, and pork and beans and said::

 

"Hay" Jorgen!

I'd love to "rope" you in for sadie's!

It'd be a "rootin tootin" time!

 

and then stuck my name in the middle of the hay bale... hahah yeah it took him forever to find my name! haha i love it!

 

the answer::

 

 

"Hay Brittany! Before I answer your request, I'd first of all like to play a little jest. Pull on the rope and read what's inside, then you will discover where my answer doth hide.

 

 

 

"congratulations! you've completeed task one! despite the triumph, our little game still is not done! now onto task two. fear not, your journey will soon be through. search through the bale of hay, that you find the next clue is what i hope and pray."

 

 

"task two has now been completed, i hope the hay did not leave you defeated. in this riddle you will find the last clue, and only then will this little game be through! when the weather outside is frightful, i help to keep your carpets delightful. i sit on the floor, right in front of your door, i greet all who enter, i may even have some mud in my center. who am i?"

 

 

"I see that you have figured out my last clue, my answer is YES, i'd love to go to sadie's with you!"

 

super cute and so creative!! props jorgen!!

 

they watched me then entire time... and i was about 15 feet away from them and didnt even see them, all four of them! haha so sad! super excited to go with him!!

 

thats all for now! hope i didnt bore you all to death and that you still have a pulse...

sweet dreams.

 

xoxo, brittany

 

 

college life.

Today was college day! Representatives from most of the school in Utah came and did presentations at out school. I went to the SUU, USU, and BYU presentations. I wanted to go to the U of U as well but didn't have enough time. As of now, who knows where I'll end up! It's crazy that those decisions are here and ready to be made!! Applying for schools is expensive... I never realized. After that we had lubch and went to all of our classes. They were 35 minutes. What's the point? Yeah, no one knows. But the plus side is I didn't have to take my math test! Bonus! Today was a rather ho-hum day. Nothing too exciting. Love my girls in math::

 

 

ps. look at this gem i found at a clothing exchange i did in my ward. yup. its velvet. nbd.

 

 

 

 

 

off to go ask my date to sadie's! tata for now!

xoxo, brittany

 

 





days like these.

days like these when the sky is cloudy. when its rainy outside. when im wearing boots and cardigans. when i go home during school to get hot chocolate. when sweats keep me warm. when my heater in my car works. when i have friends around me that love me. when old friends become new friends. these. these are the days that i love. these are the days that bring a smile to my face. these are the reasons why i love fall so much.

xoxo, brittany

starting the day off right.

This morning I was able to go to the Provo temple with hunter. I've been wanting to go for the last couple weeks but haven't done it yet. I went in with an open heart to see what He would have me learn. I learned today that Heavenly Father definitely has a sense of humor. He loves to laugh just as much as we do, am I'm pretty sure that he was up there giggling with us when a boy was being confirmed for a girl. I'm grateful that I live so close to the temple and have the oppurtunity to go in the morning. I highly recommend it! :)

we'll sing and we'll shout.

dear friends,

i figured today was a good day to blog. so, as of lately::

 

 

i went to homecoming with peter stratton! he is one of the sweetest kids you will ever meet!

i was so excited when i found out it was him!

 

for our day date we went rock climbing at the quarry friday after school!

 i had never been there before, but it was a total blast!

of course my date was the pro, but i did my best to keep up with him! ;)

 

we won our homecoming game vs salem hills!

it was so fun reliving my sophomore year with all the girls there! i loved it!

 

 

homecoming was a complete and total blast! i actually wore my moms dress that she wore to her senior homecoming! it was so sweet! my group was hilarious! so many one-liners from that night! so glad i was able to get to know all of them better! :)

 

 

 

 

dont mind that he's only ten inches taller than me.... even with 4 inch heels on.

 

thanks so much peter for taking me! couldnt have asked for a better date!

 

school is in full swing now! its crazy that midterm was this week and that much of my senior year is already over. i keep saying that i just want school to be over and i just want to graduate. but, truth is, i really dont. i love all my friends and it'll be so weird not going to school with them and seeing them everyday anymore! but, bring on the college boys! ;)

 

korbin turned five yesterday!!! cant believe all that time has flown by! i love that little man big huge much, as he would say. we also found out that kameron and miriam are expecting!! yay!! i have been needing another little baby in my life! they are due on march 14! they arent finding out what it is this time, but im crossing my fingers that its a little girl!

 

 

today was the brigham city temple dedication! we went to the nine o'clock one, and sadly i was kinda tired... but i still felt the spirit extremely strong. especially when we were singing the spirit of god and the words "we'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven" came up. i am so grateful to be in this gospel. i am so grateful for my testimony and the strength that it gives me.

 

now i'm off to go read a book for downs class. you know me, procrastination at its finest!

love you all and thanks for reading!

xoxo, brittany

 

finally.

Went to tumbling tonight. At TNT. Holy cow was it crazy being back. It made me realize how much I love cheer and how much I miss competing. Improvement. That's all they're asking. And boy,  do I feel good after that! So happy to be getting back into things. Finally.

late night thoughts

Have you ever had these moment where everything changes? Where you realize something and then you're just like holy crap, what do I do now? Yeah. I've had a few of those lately. And I honestly have no idea where everything's headed. Do I do this? Do I don't do that? What the heck??  I wanna live on the edge. I wanna take chances. But I don't wanna get hurt. Sometimes I just wanna take the easy way out. Sometimes I wish I could just quit my job. Sometimes I wish I just could be an irresponsible teenager and have life be a breeze. But I'm not. And life's not. So I just have to buckle down, come back to reality, put a smile on my face, and rememeber that everything happens for a reason and is for my benefit.
