Jealousy!

Who are you jealous of?

Basically anyone who is experiencing some sort of change in their life, whether it be new job, new baby, new home, moving, vacation, etc. Things around here have been pretty much the same for the past three years, it would be nice to have some type of change. Not that I’m not happy, I would just like to experience something new and exciting every now and then. (And by new and exciting, I mean some GOOD new and exciting. I’m sure there are lots of bad new and exciting things that could happen, and I don’t really want to deal with them.) Like I said though, it’s not that I’m NOT happy with where we are in life, I just think there is nothing wrong with wanting a little change every now and then.

Marriage!

Just a little about today...no prompt.

My little sister got married today...Kinda crazy! I still think she's the little 8 year old I remember her as. But I guess we've got to grow up sometime. Anyway. her reception was last night, so I got off work early and headed up with Brady. Shari, Ben and their kids were there, and Kandyce, Clay and Liam were there too, so I got to see the kiddos. Alex was a grump and kept giving me the stink eye, but Aidan and Lilli were super excited to see me (even if Lilli did call me Brittney). But when I first got there, Shari, Kandyce and I showed Kenz what we got her for her wedding night. Lots of fun stuff! Then we all just kind of laid low for a while.

I took Kenz and Kyler in a little before the reception to take a few pictures. I'll have to get them from my mom and dad, because I think they turned out super cute. Then we headed to the reception. It was good to see a lot of the Cokeville people that I don't see as much any more (Boyers, Birches, etc!) plus family (Grandma, Uncle Don, Uncle Stan, Trevor & baby Chloe, Michaela, etc). It was just a lot of fun seeing and talking to people, and cuddling with my cute niece and nephews.

I came back to Logan that night with Kandyce & Clay who were staying in Wellsville so we didn't have to wake up early and fight for showers. The wedding was at the Logan temple at noon, so I got to sleep in a bit. The wedding was really nice, and even though it was weird seeing my baby sis kiss her groom over the alter, I'm really happy for them. Kyler is a super nice guy, and they make each other happy.

It was also great seeing even more family and friends at the temple -- Aunt Kathy & Heather, Aunt Laurel, Aunt Pat, Haley, Cassidy, and Emily, Aunt Korena & Savannah (holy gorgeousness!), Aunt Gayle & Uncle Robert, Aunt Meg & Uncle Larry, and I'm sorry if I forget anyone! It makes me excited for the next wedding, where hopefully I'll get to see more friends & family.

Anyway, I'll maybe post more about the wedding later, and when I have some pics to show. But it was a beautiful day, and I'm very happy for my sis and new brother! Love you guys!

Here are some pics that our friend Karla took at the reception. Yes, they are all of me...but it's my blog! Deal with it! :)

She hung onto me quite a bit over the weekend. I didn't mind too much...Love my little Lilli Bug.

I kinda really want that camera.

Playing peek-a-boo.

Giving baby Liam kisses...I love his ears poking out...He's such a cutie.

Talking with one of my favorite women. She is such a beautiful lady, inside and out.

Okay...here's one of the cute couple. Yes he is a cowboy...and is about a foot taller than McKenzie. We still think he's great! ;)

Bed

Do you make your bed every morning?

I don't think I've made my bed since 1998. Okay, I did make it a couple of times a few years ago, but no, I most definitely don't make my bed every morning. Mostly because we don't have sheets and comforter like normal people. You see, even though we do sleep in the same bed...we each have our own blankets. Mostly because Greg kept hogging the blankets, or the other way around, but details aren't important! So he keeps his 10 blankets and seven pillows, and I have my two blankets and two pillows, and we sleep soundly! (Unless I kick my blankets off in the middle of the night, then luckily he has a few spare...)

Next Major Purchase

What is the next major purchase you need to make?

In reality? Or in my mind? I think in reality it would be a second car, or a house would be nice. In my mind I think a new mac with photoshop, and also a new camera. Feel free to donate to my "Bre needs a new mac" fund. I'll gladly take it!

Creativity

Were you creative today? How?

Umm...I guess I got a little creative with doing some digi scrapping. I don't know? I currently have a love/hate relationship with photoshop & my computer at the moment. I'm in need of a new computer, really, but I don't want to fork out the money to get one (yet!) I'm just hoping/praying that it will last me until we can afford a new one. In the mean time, it puts a bit of a damper on my creativity time, due to the frustration of slowness and quitting on me. But as long as it's running, I'm going to do my best not to complain too much, and just deal with what it gives me. Please don't die on me computer! I love you!

Worry

Who did you worry about today?

I'm a bit of a worry wart, but I don't really keep up on other's lives. Call it selfishness, and it probably is, but at this point in my life, my attitude and frustrations are kinda crappy right now. I am being selfish, and I do need to get over it, but I have been worrying more about Greg and I a bit more than others. It's just getting to a point where I just want to shut down and wait for everything to work out. I should be less selfish...that will probably help me feel better...but I don't want to.

Most the Day

Where did you spend the most time today?

I would say work, but that's a lie. Isn't it crazy how those six hours of being at work feel a whole heck of a lot more than the time you spend at home? Seriously...I feel like I have no time to do anything when I get home, and feel like each hour at work seemed like twice that! So, since I have a boring life, the majority of my day was, in reality, spent at home.

Where Would You Go?

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Ever since I can remember, I've loved to travel. I just love going places, especially new places. I love seeing new things, being in different environments. I just love to travel. Unfortunately, my husband, not so much. Maybe someday I'll convince him.

But I want to visit all 50 states. I don't even know how many I have visited, but you can for sure cross Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming off the list. I'd be okay leaving those three states for a while. I especially want to visit NYC, Virginia, Washington DC (again), Maryland, any of those Eastern states, and Hawaii.

I want to go to Vancouver, Canada, where Greg served his mission.

Also really want to go to England and Paris. Maybe Australia.

I doubt I'll ever leave the country, but it's fun to dream.

5 Things...

List 5 things you should have done today.

1 -- Clean my house
2 -- Finish up some scrapbooking stuff
3 -- Edit my sister's bridals so my mom doesn't stress out about it
4 -- Do my 'stretches', even though I don't know what they are
5 -- Shave my legs & clip my toenails (though there is still time to do this, so these may get done!)

Clutter

What part of your home has the most clutter? How can you de-clutter?

My whole house is pretty cluttered, but the room that is the most cluttered is the side room. I don't think it's ever been NOT cluttered since we moved in. I mean massively cluttered...like there are little 'paths' to the important things. Try to get in the back corner...nearly impossible.

How can I de-clutter? Kick my husband out of the house....haha, kidding, but really, a lot of the stuff is his. He doesn't like to throw stuff away, and I don't like throwing stuff away without his permission (unless he isn't here and it isn't HIS stuff), then I don't mind. I tell him that when we get a real house, I'll give him a room where he can stash and store whatever he wants, and I won't say a word. But it's all right. I don't think I'd know what to do if my house WASN'T cluttered...

Seven in 7

Name seven things about the last 7 days.

1 -- Work has been crazy ridiculously boring!
2 -- It has been super duper cold lately. I'm considering moving to Arizona.
3 -- Boston Marathon bombings...Super crazy, super sad! My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones, and those who are injured.
4 -- Lakers are in as the number 7 seed. Let's go Lakers! (Just need Steve Nash to be healthy. Bummer about Kobe.)
5 -- Work has been hard on my body...just sitting there surprisingly does a number on ya. I'm a wuss, I know.
6 -- Got our car fixed. Thanks to my hubby and friend Steve.
7 -- This week has been boring. I really can't think of anything!

What I Wore

What did you wear today?

Since I have a morning meeting on Wednesdays, it messes with my getting ready schedule. I usually sleep with wet hair on Tuesdsay, wake up, re-wet it, then put it in a bun. Because it's been cold, wet hair on my neck sucks...a bare neck also kind of sucks. To alleviate some of the pain, I wore a scarf that my brother-in-law Clay got me for my birthday last year from China (or wherever he was) with a black shirt that is way too big for me (but comfty), and my gray pants (also way too big). I need a new wardrobe, I think...I'm just afraid of getting fat again, so I don't want to get rid of my fat clothes, or buy skinny clothes that I may grow out of. Yes, I am a woman...yes I am insecure...yes, I do just need to buy new stuff that fits me!

Bathtub

What do you like best about your home?

We have been in this trailer for the past nearly 8 years, and it's been a good home for us. Sure it's given me a few (LOT) of gray hairs, but it's been a good starter home. I would have to say that my favorite part about it is our tub in the master bath. That thing is HUGE. There is a step to get down into it (which has been nice, since I know have the joints/muscles/bones of an 80 year old woman.) It's nice to be able to lay down and just relax after a long day of work. I will admit that I will definitely miss that tub when/if we ever move. My dream home will have a massive tub for sure!

Bazinga!

What is your favorite TV show?

I don't watch nearly as much TV as I used to. It's been a VERY long time since I watched the Disney Channel even. I guess I'm more mature in my television show choices. I've since upgraded to the CW and the Soap Network. Much more mature! I would have to say though, that my current favorite TV show is The Big Bang Theory. I even have Greg addicted. It's hilarious, and we both love it. We've probably seen all the episodes already, but I could watch it over and over.
