This is my new blog guys, I will no longer be posting here. Check it out I blogged before and after pictures of our hizzy!!

Andy and Forrest

2011-06-05T17:13:00.000-07:00

Andy is my sister in-law and Forrest is her husband. We are lucky enough that they live in Sandy, so we get to hang out with them all the time! We usually go out to dinner and pretty much always have dessert. We had been home from our honeymoon for a few weeks but I had to work every weekend night, so we weren't able to see them. Andy had the outside of the box idea of having dinner together on Sunday! So last Sunday they came to our new place, the first guests we had! They brought a delicious lasagna which truly hit the spot. The only designated place to eat is the bar, so we have to be creative. (Sneak peak at my awesome coffee table DI find before and after pictures of the apartment coming soon!) We had so much fun, four hours flew by and we realized it was almost bedtime. It was so fun to spend our Sabbath with family!

These awesome plates were a gift from Trav and Kassia, and check out my super sweet utensils from Pottery Barn that Stace and Brandon got us!

I took this last shot of their shoes, I had to catch their inadvertent coordination. And no, I am not wearing a Lakers shirt. Please disregard any feeling of animosity.

I'm getting hungry..

2011-06-05T16:55:00.000-07:00

I wanted to post a couple fun pictures of the food we've been enjoying. I love having our very own kitchen and we can buy our very own food, and make something whenever we want! I am nothing near a Patti or a Caitlin in my food knowledge or expertise, I have just been making fun and easy things that my husband enjoys. Seriously Philly tells me "good job, babe" when I make toast for him. Very encouraging.
In the pictures above we made some awesome sirloin cheese burgers with pepper jack cheese. We didn't have any buns so we opted to use some onion bagels we had. I was wondering why I hadn't ever tried this-and wondering how it would be. We loved it. Holy cow, great combo.
In the pictures below we made some english muffin pizzas. You could make your own sauce but I took the easyeasy route and bought some garlic red sauce and mozzarella and pepperonis. We baked them and then broiled them for a few minutes to get the muffins toasty and delicious. They turned out so yummy. I definitely did not make enough for Philly, he was still hungry.

Honeymooners

2011-06-05T16:30:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to share a few honeymoon pictures I love for those who have no facebook access :) We had such an awesome time. We went to Scandia bakery too many time to admit (pictured below) We went to the beach and read, played frisbee and dug holes with tunnels. We went shopping in Newport and went to the movies a few times. We may have stumbled into the Candy Baron, a childhood memory/fantasy of mine and we were able to indulge. Best honeymoon/vacation ever.

2011-04-16T10:55:00.000-07:00

Caity came and it was so super fun! We stayed up late, woke up late, went shopping laughed and ate. We went to Ikea and scored some awesome deals and I am so so excited about decorated our house! I will take pictures in the process. Hopefully me not saying much about the trip will motivate Cait to explain in greater detail and post on her blog and stuff.

So today I had the rare desire for exertions of athleticism. Mostly because it is so beautiful outside today (62 degrees and sunny)-seriously spring has just begun here, general conference we were covered in snow. I woke up to the sound of lawn mowers. I love that on a Saturday morning! I geared up and got ready to go. I realized on my run through the neighborhood how picturesque Orem is. Seriously, it felt like a movie. I ran past little girls making hopscotches with pictures of their families, boys on their bikes and their dogs following them, and many many people gardening. It was the best(maybe first) run I've had all year!

Philly has a final, like right now, and he also has one at eight tonight. Is that not totally wrong?? So we'll play in between, and you better believe frisbee will be involved.

best songs I ran to today;
Saviour by Lights (includes lyrics "I just wanna run to you!")
Alive With the Glory of Love by Say Anything
Mamma Mia by Abba
Crazy Love by Mindy Gledhill
Say a Little Prayer for You by the Glee Cast
Defying Gravity from Wicked (cool down)

This is both right and relevant.

My ring is perfect.

I can't stop looking at it. This was taken in the Marriott Center this morning and it was super sparkly! The center stone is my Annie's.

2011-04-04T22:42:00.000-07:00

These are a few pictures of us with Philly's siblings, his two sisters Rachel and Andrea. This was in Florida, maybe on Christmas day? I'm not sure. I feel like these pictures demonstrate a lot of how I feel about Philly's family. We went hot tubbing and swimming quite a bit while we were there (the weather was gorgeous). I had suggested strongly that we all jump into the pool holding hands. For those of you who know me (who would read this who doesn't know me??) this is not an outrageous request, and I am sure a few of you have experienced my begging. I don't know why, it's kind of silly. But the point is was that I was indulged. I truly felt like Philly's whole family accepted me and loved me for who I am. I felt so at home and comfortable and we have so much fun together! I know Philly feels this way about my family too, which makes me just feel so grateful! I am so excited that we can be apart of each others families and make more memories together!

I get to marry him!

2011-03-05T00:07:00.000-08:00

So I have really been eyeing your blogs, and you just aren't posting enough. So I guess I thought maybe if I blogged, I would influence you. I need to get a sweet camera to take fun pictures to post. I only ever take pictures with Philly's phone.

I just now ate a cupcake.
I came to the conclusion yesterday that I just want to pour balsamic vinegar and oil all over everything. It just makes everything taste so delicious.
My mom found THE perfect shoes for my wedding, and I have been showing them to everybody.
After a very busy and long night of work Philly surprised me and dropped by on his way home, just in time to fix the rail thingy in my closet that had fallen down!
Our dishwasher at work cut his finger pretty badly and I bandaged him all up, my co-worker Malissa called me the "work mom" best compliment ever.
Christine's adorable niece Evelyn can totally say my name now, and used it liberally today to demand more grapes :) I happily obliged.
I am meeting with the seamstress to fit my dress on Monday!
I overheard my Dad say something like, "She can have whatever she wants, she's the bride." That one was just to brag.
Or is ALL of this to brag? Isn't that what blogging is? Either complaining or bragging?

Valentine

2011-02-13T21:23:00.000-08:00

I don't think I have ever had one before. So I think I'll blog about mine.

We met more than two years ago..

after a while I was struck with his charm

and now we're in love

2011-02-06T01:27:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAITY! I have had more hours of fun with you in life than with any other person. You are my hero!

2010-12-19T01:30:00.000-08:00

This is Philip, I barely like him. I'm sure you can tell from this picture. We had the most awesome day today. He came over with some donuts from Provo bakery, one which had bacon on it. I didn't touch that one. We went to the mall to do our Christmas shopping. It was quite successful. We retrieved everything we were looking for. We went home to wrap some gifts (he played on his ipad and I wrapped gifts) and then we went up to Salt Lake for dinner. We are a little addicted to Zupas. I work there in Orem and that is where we ate in Salt Lake. Philip insists on a Zupas meal at least once a week. We went and looked at the lights at temple square and caught a free concert of a high school choir singing Christmas songs.

Now it is very late after laundry, and organizing and we are getting on a plane headed for Florida tomorrow! Phil is from Seattle but his parents recently moved to Florida and we are going there for Christmas. I am most definitely excited.

I'm back

2010-07-28T23:44:00.000-07:00

And it was glorious.

TWILIGHT ALERT

2008-11-21T06:21:00.000-08:00

Rave Theaters in Town Square in Las Vegas. I am meeting a girlfriend from work and she arrives before me at around 11pm. She tells me on the phone on my way there that there is a crazy huge line just to get into the building. I arrive and walk through a very young and black tshirt wearing crowd yelling into the phone(?) for my friend. She is seriously at the END of a crowded line of at least 200 people. I jump the little fence and she reluctantly follows me. The line is wrapped conveniently around the building. Around the corner from the end of the line is a door. We go through it. Several stairs and two more unmarked doors. I try and open one, locked. The second; opens and we are inside. I ripped my ticket in half and sat down in Auditorium 1. What a pro rule breaker I am, right Mom?

If you do not wish to hear my very important and most valued opinion as well as details from this movie I kinda saw last night then stop reading.

SO it begins..

Let me first say, reading every book in this mega-series was fun. I am a sucker. I don't care. Everyone knows "the book was way better than the movie." DUH. When you read a book the characters have time to develop, you are invested in these characters and the story. Not only this, but you have created in your mind what they think, how they look, and how everything would play out if you made the movie.

Saying this, after reading the books and being attached to fictional characters as many 14 year olds do, I simply HAD to see the movie at midnight before I heard anybody else's opinion. I knew it would be sheer agony to have to live through November 21st and not KNOW.

Robert Pattinson as Edward was definitely intense. Probably the best thing going for him. Oh and he is a fox. His eager need to tackle the role and become the character made some scenes that were supposed to be serious, laughable. Funny, even. I feel like the intensity was put in the wrong moments. Edward wants to KILL Bella when they are sitting in Biology together for the first time! I feel I was robbed of that intensity so pure in the book! She walked into the room and the acting was sad/funny.

Kristen Stewart was pretty much awful. She has the look, I guess. She didn't understand Bella's character, at all. She had no personality, at all. Bella is witty, sarcastic and charming without trying to be, among her other more human traits. Kristen was boring and lines were delivered incorrectly and emotions were not expressed adequately. Frankly, the acting was distracting and disappointing. I hope she gets better.

Special Effects; WOW. And not a good wow. It could have been totally hard core and awesome. Not so much. And I have lots of brothers; I know a good fight scene and or righteous special effects.

One last thing, what was up with the music? The only enjoyable somewhat magical (humor me) moment was when they sort of danced to "Claire De Lune". Because good music can transform a scene, you don't need much. Background music was poorly chosen in general as well as put in wrong moments or just played for too long. So many times I wished for just silence.

This may sound harsh; but I will still see these movies. They still stayed pretty true to the book, plot and even dialogue. I will still reread the books. I still have stupid Robert Pattinson on my cell phone wallpaper.

Thus I am faithful. Even though I am a little bit sad that this movie could have been more than a hasty money maker I saw it coming.

2008-10-09T02:53:00.000-07:00

I have a story to tell you. It is simple, but I feel the need to share it with anyone who wishes to read! This may be an unusual place to bare feelings and testimony builders, but where else could I simultaneously express such things to almost all of my loved ones at once!

Last night I couldn't fall asleep. Not because I was troubled, merely because every other day I work until 5-7 in the morning.

I started reading from two different blogs from two LDS sisters-one having recently been in a plane crash leaving her and her husband in critical condition. I've been aware of the blogs, as they are quite popular, but hadn't ever invested in discovery of my own.
After reading a vast array of entries from both, I was reflecting on their lives and their faith; and then I began reflecting on my own. I became excited for my future, grateful for everything I have; yet pained in a way that I couldn't share every joyful moment with every member of my family. This seems extreme I know, but being that this family was being faced with such trials, mine became minimal and trivial, and all I longed for was to be around those I love and cherish most; to not take for granted having them here with me.
I was struck with both a yearning and yet an understanding that life on this earth is just a brief moment in eternity and once it is over, I have all the time to spend with you people.
Still lingering on these deep recognitions, I knelt to pray, knowing I should be in bed.
I thanked Heavenly Father for all the things I wasn't sure I deserved. I then asked to bless my family. I then felt something, almost arms around me-holding and embracing me. An overwhelming peace and love flew over me. No purer love or comfort. The Comforter was doing just that. It is real.
I know that this life-I'm going to enjoy it. But I want to enjoy it with you. How lucky are we that we get even more time than that?

I AM DONE!

I was going to post pictures of all of my collected appointment cards for doctor's dates and times. But I thought the picture that will be used to identify me for the following year and half was a better idea.

2008-09-07T15:50:00.000-07:00

I loved Missa's blog so much I thought I would copy her. Usually I just leave an extensive comment. but when I feel that would not be adequate expression of my opinons I am inclined to post myself. I will also be posting albums for different reasons other than "freakiness" Enough babbling ..

I don't think it is a coincidence that Cait brought this one up. This is the first album that came into my head after reading Missa's blog. I too, could stare at it for hours.

Okay, I had this record. And I was in love with him. End of story.

If I am remembering correctly, this album belonged to DAD. I also went through a Nat King Cole phase at a very unusually young age. This cover was so glamorous and black and white, not a whole lot like what was coming out at the time.

I love how bright this cover is and remember studying it when we first got it. Every song reminds me of our whole family in Laguna beach.

It hurts to laugh or yell

2008-08-29T14:04:00.000-07:00

I know, I don't have to convince any of you of my hardcore-ness but thought you should know I totally have a hole in my head-to the bone! that is right and I have pictures. These pictures do not do it justice either. It was way more hardcore the first day, and the beginning of the second day. I was pretty high also.

out of the bag

2008-08-21T02:56:00.000-07:00

Yes, this girl, is going on a mission.

As the process continues I will be advising my family of updates via blog. So stay tuned!

Hangbag Envy

2008-07-23T00:00:00.001-07:00

Something I live with everyday. I am still on the hunt for the bag that I love enough to spend a substantial amount of money on. I have even stopped buying cheap purses because I know someday I thought would be sooner than now, I'd have a nice one (an investment) that I would use everyday. This bag is called JUICY COUTURE BRIDGET LEATHER SATCHEL. Any ideas?

I was Minnie Mouse once for Halloween

2008-07-16T11:45:00.000-07:00

This is cool.

Did you know

2008-07-12T18:45:00.000-07:00

that my Dad is a rockstar? Oh, no you say? Well hmm lucky for you can learn a little something today.

Alcohol

2008-07-12T18:18:00.000-07:00

That is right. In order to be official and yada yada in my new position, I had to obtain this Alcohol Awareness card to verify I had been trained on...I can't remember. Everyone at work thinks it's hilarious being that I don't drink. Jokes. All of which I've heard before. Haha.

WHY

2008-07-11T20:02:00.000-07:00

do I always apologize for myself? For my music guilty pleasures (hello, Miley Cyrus) to my choices in literature, TV shows, Movies etc etc etc...Guess what? I don't care anymore. I like what I like and I have no excuses. There was a part of me that did not want to write this blog. Really. I mean it is embarassing enough but to put out for all the internets? I feel like a non-intellectual. I fell for the mass hysteria. Whatever. That's what I have to say about that. In a span of a few short weeks I read the series. Almost two of them during my vacation in Boise; which is why I would sleep in so late, the only time I could read was after Cait and Russ were asleep!
I figure at least I'm reading right? The writing really isn't even that good. It's purely the little girl inside of me. The one who cried when she saw "Forever Young" for the first time, at age um, six. So screw what anyone thinks. Because I will be locking myself up on August 2nd, thank you very much.

I am just a little bit excited to go see my sister.

2008-06-24T23:40:00.000-07:00

Okay. My phone had really been through some rough days. I had a good phone, especially for as destructive as I am. I was positive I was trading it in, with a possible upgrade in mind.

So today was my day off and I was at a friend's house pretty much all day swimming. I had board shorts on all day. They include convenient pockets, that nicely fit my phone. Yes, you guessed it, I was sitting in the pool for I'd say around 6 minutes when I realized my phone was in my pocket, submersed in water. Okay, I have gone through this before. Several of my phones have survived this. But having insurance and this being the third phone I've owned of this kind, I knew no bag of rice would solve this problem. I had to go in. Took it as a sign, time for a new fancy pimp phone. Plus "pink is my signature color."

So I know it takes time to become fluent in a new technology item, but I find myself struggling. And being apart of my generation, I want it all right now. Instant gratification. I am trying to buy ringtones, add my email, I cannot. Worst of all-none of my numbers were recovered. I currently have 7 phone book entries. I bet you wanna know who huh?

we always end up doing this pose. when i was in middle school, girls and their best friends would go to the mall and choose a backdrop and wear matching cheap clothes and get about 50 wallets each to personalize and give to their friends. so then every girl had a collection of these horrendous embarrassments to showcase how many friends they had. i remember making fun of these girls. but at one moment, a few of my friends (who i still befriend today) and i were weak. and maybe one day if you are very very lucky. ill post it.

Great picture of Dad eh?

2007-09-26T05:57:00.000-07:00

This is a group of boys I have known for a long time who have been known as "the team". Most unoriginally after channel 4 news team from Anchorman. Makes sense too, one is a natural leader, one's as dumb as nails, one wears too much cologne and one is secretly in love with the leader. Am I really writing this? I swear I wasn't planning on revealing all of this information. I'm sorry. My point; on Sunday at church I realized they were all there together, wearing white shirts and ties. It made me happy. One just got back from his mission, two are working on their papers now, and the other is getting baptized on Saturday. It was a good day.

Oh yeah that's me and Lauren. I like her.

2007-07-31T01:53:00.000-07:00

Alright, so the other day I was expanding my nerdiness by discussing "Star Wars" theories with my father. I was freaking my mother out, I don't think she wants to have a daughter who watches "Star Wars". But I cannot ignore this part of me. This is the same girl who could shop all day long and/or enjoy "Steel Magnolias" on a Sunday afternoon. During our chat my dad called Yoda "frodo" yeah. Priceless dad moment. and definitely confirmed my nerd status.

Did I mention this started because they caught me watching "Return of the Jedi"?? Don't get me started.

this video makes me laugh.

I had so much fun on Sunday.

My face hurts from smiling

2007-06-18T18:51:00.000-07:00

Okay so the creepy monkey? Orientation I answered every question right, they gave things like these away. I was humbled quickly the week after. Although I'm comfortable now after my first week on the job, I haven't even started the actual position yet. My class starts on Tuesday of next week, where I'll learn everything for the front office agent position. I really like it. Even though I really have no like friends at work. That's the only thing I don't really like about it. I bumped into Trav I think my second day of work, and it made my whole day better! I feel like a grown up kind of almost. Patrick liked the name badge. People have actually said, "You look like you own the place.." interesting...

2007-06-14T19:03:00.000-07:00

I have much to talk about..to blog about which I will do this weekend. I just want to say..Dad's display name is still "Caity's Dad". That's just you being lazy right Dad?

A Tribute to Spidey

2007-06-04T19:18:00.000-07:00

I have two tattoos being the rebel I am. Both are Spidey tattoos. I will not turn my back on him.

The classy "No ordinary BUG" tongue tat came from the one and only fruit roll up tattoos.
Also, the neck Spidey came from candy cigarettes I got for free at the Mav. Cait used to tell me if I played with those when I was a kid, I would grow up to be a chain smoker for sure (scared me). We were also mocking a few girls we knew who had recently gotten tattoos on the back of their necks. We're so funny.

Mama

2007-05-13T11:55:00.000-07:00

Things I love about Mama

* When we were little she would put chicken noodle soup, sometimes spaghetti-o's in our thermos.
* Impeccable taste
* Watches movies in her bed like me sometimes with me.
* Whenever there is candy in her seminary room, on Sunday's would take it home for us.
* Movies are better/more funny when I watch them with her.
* She always knows what to do
* She knows everything.
* When we'd have a field trip she would make a special lunch for us.
* When we'd tattle tale and say "patrick hit me" She'd say "hit him back." Really made me think at the time.
* Nobody makes an O Henry Bar like her.
* Or a whoopie pie.
* Or caramel corn!
* Unbelievable ironing skills
* Let's me borrow her nice things
* Loves her gray hairs
* Let's me teach her slang to make people laugh
* Says an occasional phrase just to make me laugh
* Always knows what medicine to take.
* But I never take medicine, because she never gave it to me.
* Tough it out, right?
* Keeps little things we did in school.
* Gave me my laugh. Loud and boisterous, like she means it.
* Really good at games, word games to be exact.
* Has perfect nails.
* Never once told me to turn my music down.

There's plenty more...

Happy Mother's Day

She's Like the WInd

2007-04-16T21:14:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I couldn't sleep last night, I usually find myself watching an 80's movie in the family room so I don't disturb G-ro. Last night I chose the 1987 (good year) classic "Dirty Dancing"...don't hate. So this reminded me of something I would really like to share with you guys, that I thought you might appreciate.

The infamous song SUNG by Patrick Swayze has been covered. A HIP HOP rendition. It sounds hilarious, I know, I still chuckle. And the video is very stupid. This is the first time I've ever seen it and I prefer to just listen. Unless you feel like laughing.

Two words. Guilty, Pleasure.

For Alpha Phi Theta Sigma Chapter we conducted a fundraiser for the Alpha Phi Foundation and our Philanthropy Women's Cardiac Care. We received donations and constructed 15 appealing baskets to auction off. Our chapter raised $5,001 (a dollar is a dollar) all to donate. VERY exciting. Oh ya, you wear red! One picture is of the pin (and logo) for our philanthropy a red dress.

i am so emo right now

2007-02-15T20:15:00.000-08:00

That's what I think about Valentine's Day. I am such an artist. ("It's Science" is from Anchorman so you say it with what I call, a "Burgandy" voice.)

P.S. Just for those who might ask I'll save you the comment. "emo" is a type of music short for emotional, sometimes angry and bitter (ie: Dashboard Confessional PERFECT example) It's a sub genre for hardcore punk music. (I could go on and on about the history but Dashboard is one of the most popular versions of emo, a breakthrough band, and one of my favorites) so it's basically kinda like crybaby music. I love it, pretty much have since the 7th grade. And now it's turned into like a scene-you can dress emo, (Patrick with his hood on and headphones in, so emo right now) everyone has been making fun of me (but they secretly wanna be like me) for being emo. Don't hate.

Examples of some emo lyrics

"Sing this song for me, and tell me how you'll never leave my side, I'll meet you at 7, I miss you already, goodbye to you."
*The Starting Line [Cheek to Cheek] AMAZING live. This was their encore song

"I'm not sleeping, no I'm not sleeping, because of you, and I've been dying to know, what's on your mind, and I've been dying, to hear your voice"
*Allred [I'm Not Sleeping]

"I'd buy you lemonade right now, if you were here, and I'd throw it in your face, and I'd listen to you cry!" (crazy huh!? hahha)
*Saves the Day [Rocks Tonic Juice Magic]

"I heard about your regrets, I heard that you were feeling sorry, I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us"
*Dashboard Confessional [The Best Deceptions]

"Take aim at the soft and tender, cause staring's not supposed to hurt!"
*The Higher [Lo]

I hope I have educated someone today. Yikes I sound like Micheal from tonite.

"From whence it came huh?"

2007-02-13T00:26:00.000-08:00

Alright, I just find it amusing. This is a chicken dance Zach and I do from Arrested Development. Sometimes other's join in. He does Gob's and I do Lindsay's. It makes us so happy. It also embarrasses Mom. Which we love! This was Thanksgiving dinner at a very nice restaurant. So nice it made Zach and I, yes even Russ, a little squeamish to misbehave. We did not fail to do so. Classy, I know. But I can still say our family isn't boring. I've visited some of my friend's family's..wow. We are fun. Take my word for it.

Also how bout Zach's blog? I swear it was like front page news brother! Everyone was talking about it! "Did you hear???? Zach posted on his blog!!!" I got texts, phone calls, email's. I guess we kinda like you huh?

I'm weird.

2007-02-04T22:02:00.001-08:00

Caity inspired me.

1. I am the Radio Nazi. Pretty much wherever I go, I am in charge of the music. In the car, in my room, when I clean, and especially at work, I bring in the cds, I control the radio. Whatever I say goes. I am always used to my music being very loud-Mom and Dad probably told me to turn down my music maybe once my whole life. What great parents. Music is supposed to be heard-it is supposed to be loud. Good thing I live in the basement.

2. I'm obsessed with eyebrows. I always notice when someone has good eyebrows. They can make or break a face. I am very particular with my own eyebrows and how they are done as well-I wonder where it comes from. Could it have something to do with Caitlin waxing my bushy brows when I was in 7th grade, no?

3. Although I agree with needing the undeniable tasty duo of the chips with the sandwich-I am now a bigger connoisseur of the ice cold beverage. I don't drink soda any longer. Very difficult when I get free soda-and I really like soda. So now I need something other than soda with every meal. Powerade, Lemonade, and I love love love Orange juice. I'm almost always in the mood for it. Yumbo.

4. On the inside, I'm 7 years old. I love dancing like a crazy person and I have no shame (I do this at work, at boys houses I just met, school hallway, in the rain, living room) I am a candy face. I still want to stay up late past my bedtime. I never like a boy for longer than a week. My favorite birthday gift this year-was a plastic ring from my birthday cake (all my best friends have matching ones too.)

5. The Salty Sweet Combo. Doritos + double stuff Oreos= delectable treat. I know, I know. This stems from Caity too, even though she would only eat that stuff with me under my suggestion she would still partake in the joy of the extreme unhealthiness. I have spread the love for this abroad. (Mama says it's PMS food.)

6. I can memorize lines to a movie all too easily. I say nothing original, because everything reminds me of a quote. I know this is a good Lunn trait-but seriously don't test me. I will get the line right, too.

7. I don't like to match. I mean I follow the rules like black and brown, stuff like that. Something matching and something that "goes" is totally different. And sometimes I think I have a gift for putting things together. When I get one new thing-I have ten new outfits. I think it was being exposed to those Instyle layout things at a very young age. I wear things several people never would. Probably the only thing I'm good at.

Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow!

2007-01-24T14:58:00.000-08:00

it won't be long before we'll all be there with snow! We have so much snow. I get excited sometimes-I love it when you can see the snow falling in a picture. One picture is of Sara and I starting Fred (it was like 2 degrees out) he was never finished. Another is some Cinderella shoes in the snow (stolen from a roommate yes). And yes, I am silly/dumb enough to just lay in the snow (actually done for G-ro's photography class-but still my idea.)

Alpha Phi Theta Sigma Chapter at SUU

2007-01-23T17:24:00.000-08:00

So we live in an old weird house and there are two big trophy cases; this would be so tacky in a regular home, but it works perfectly for us! We can display awards we get from the school (Organization of the Year two years in a row ahem) or Internationals, other Greeks, or awards presented at formal for girls who live in the house. We actually put on display something I made myself! Since everyone puts up cool things they make (I have very little) I thought this would be cool. This was a plain hat box we bought at a craft store-me and one other girl spent 7 hours painting it, cutting out magazine clippings, mostly words, and designing the top. Yea, alot of time (last year hah). We mad it for a new tradition we started in our chapter (Alpha Phi at SUU). At every annual sisterhood retreat every girl brings a picture and writes down a memory and puts it in the box and the next year we read the previous and put new ones in. Corny, I know, but so fun! The box has over 20 different symbols somewhere on it or inside it that our chapter values. Plus it's pretty.

2007-01-23T13:04:00.000-08:00

The first few are the basement (where my bedroom is) continued, and then some of the upstairs, and our most recent composite. I don't think you can see me at the bottom, but I think they're cool lookin.

This Old House

2007-01-21T00:20:00.000-08:00

I LOVE MY SCHOOL

2006-09-19T15:24:00.000-07:00

Okay so we have won a few games, this is VERY unorthodox for the SUU. (we put "the" in front of everything, in case anybody wants to be cool like us) So our students are spirited WITHOUT a winning team. Can you imagine all of a sudden having the quarterback (who I know personally, very nice young man) leading the nation with pass efficiency? Yeah we got a little crazy. At the Weber State game I admit I might have been out of hand. We had some boys with their chests painted and the mascot from the opposing team (ironically a Wildcat) threw water on the half naked enthusiastic young men. This was uncalled for. I had about eight layers on it was so cold, my fellow fans could catch pneumonia! So I sort of yelled at him and was getting a silly reaction, we proceeded to fight throughout the entire game. I was sitting in between the Greeks and SUUSA (stu. govt) since I am involved with both. Kellin filled up a gatorade bottle full of water. When the Wildcat came over he handed it to me. The whole section cheering "Bridget, Bridget, Bridget!" (Wes later told me he could hear that on the field) So I coaxed the Wildcat over with a few kisses blown over his way. Once he got close enough his mascot costume was drenched. And the crowd goes wild! hahahh it was fun. I might be little but I am crazy. You should be scared of the crazy ones. He was.

That's a picture of my boys all decked out, another one from the greatest day ever in Vegas, and some of my sisters and I at the Club Fair in our letters! I'll have a camera one day!

SOUTHERN..UTAH!

2006-08-31T11:29:00.000-07:00

This was from last semester, I jumped into the fountain in front of one of our famous theatres. It just seemes like a good idea.

So I am at school. The title stems from a cheer they do here, it's very clever. The cheerleaders are soo creative. Southern!! (two claps) Utah!! That's it. I know. So I insert Alpha Phi (the sorority I'm in) and SUU into all of the cheers I knew from high school. Which are all soo much better. And all of my friends and I are the loudest anyway. At the football games we are seriously louder than the cheerleaders. I am not yet used to a losing team. LVHS is about the greatest at everything, but the football games are still fun. Right now I have to go make a huge banner for the tailgate so I should get going, first let me fill you in on my semester so far..

I have class and work and institute and Alpha Phi AND SUUSA (student govt). BUSY. I work at Starbucks, the T-Bird Grill, and the Country Store on campus. I run around like a mad woman. I like it though I work with all students most of them I know and people come and visit me. I have my own room this year which all of my roommates call the closet. I prefer the other name "The Sev" (the dimensions are 7' by 11') I took a picture of the sparkly 711 on Fremont street which is no longer there and put it on my door. I have AWESOME professors. My history class i think my book is the same as Caity's was that WE The People book..do you still have it? Then I could hawk mine! Professor Miller has a thick southern accent and he's funny, his lectures are awesome.

I miss Patrick soo much. I got used to knowing he was downstairs and making me chicken fingers in the middle of the night.
Dad and I when Mom was on her cruise watched this Charles Dickens miniseries (won some Emmy's) "Bleakhouse" and we only had one disc from Netflix. It was way good and we couldn't wait to watch the rest. It never came. Dad called me a few days ago to tell me you can get it at the library. Yea we felt dumb. Good stuff though, I recommend you pick it up.

I just noticed my capitilization and puntuation is better. I'm turned on to school mode.

It's Welcome Week and I am on student govt so I am waay busy..There are so many things this week I wanted to take a picture of and show everyone on my my blog. (that's what I think in my head now) But unfotunately I have no fancy camera. So for now you'll have to deal with my boring written out updates.

It was my friend's farewell (Brandon Ruesch) Who I have known forever and EVERYBODY was in town. Even Sara came from the Navy. The greatest weekend.

The last picture is the five of us girls that were all best friends in my freshmen year of High School. Lindsay moved away after that year, and now we're all doing different things obviously. It's fun to see each other again. We plan "friend reunions" every year usually in the summer, where we can all go and have a day of fun together. We never stop laughing.

We took a trip a little bit ago up to the mountains and had a cookout with a bunch of my co-workers. It was a blast. I work with F-U-N people.

DJ Tanner woop with the hair!

It was cold, I stole Zach's cool sweater. But it is now what my friends refer to as "the fatgirl sweater" I did not look slim in it. HAH

This is the scarf and wicked cool hat mom got me in Alaska. I know you're jealous. I will continue my reputation as the coolest person ever in Cedar City.

MAMA'S HOME! YAY!!!

These are a few pictures we took of the food we ate when she was gone. (just a few believe me) Also a picture of Patrick swimming with some sweet goggles on. And then a few of me and the brother. We're all we've got.

For those of you wondering about the new spelling of "Bryde" (Missa) I've decided to change it. This actually creates less confusion less people saying "You're name is BRIDE?" its more like a name than a noun. I would like everybody to call me Bryde from now on not just my family..so we'll see if this name chnage is successful. Wish me luck.

..I really just don't like Bridget.

So we said..lets have our own Olympics. First game-make it across the pool on a raft without falling in. First to try, Mitch. So we all sat around for a good laugh. He got very wet but did not fall in. We realized this Olympic game was quite the challenging one. So Brittany and Tamara stood up to the plate, against eachother. Inevitably Brittany pushes Tamara in, that's her angry getting out of the pool I love that picture. And that is why the pictures stopped..I put down the camera and we all jumped in. Jeans are so heavy to swim in but ahh good times.

So Dad totally posted that blog without my consent. He must have alot of faith in me and my leadership skills. I like how I'll be the president of Microsoft when hes the one fixing my blog on the computer that I don't understand.

My blog was messed up before we made a new one (Dad made a new one) and believe me, I know I'll be hooked. I love looking especially at my sisters bloggies.
