A few random pictures

I realized I haven't put very fun pictures of my life on my blog lately. Here are the few that have accumulated. They are all pretty random, but I loved all of them! And to think I think my life is boring!?

Andy came to visit me the other night. We had an entire photo shoot, this one was my most favorite! I don't think anything could better depict our friendship!
Ben and I went to look at furniture for Mom and Dad's house, Ben found this fridge and it was OVER! I think he stood like this and played with it for almost 20 minutes! SERIOUSLY! (and yes he does have a fake Chinese tattoo on his arm!)
I went and saw the Joseph Smith movie last night, after the movie I sat at the temple for awhile. It was absolutely beautiful! This picture doesn't do it justice!
Ben didn't believe me that plungers stick to your stomach, so I had to prove it to him, in the middle of Target!
These are my enchiladas I made the other night. They were so freaking good! I was so proud of myself so I took a picture!

You know Ben thinks I take to many pictures, but anytime we do anything he always says, "You should blog about this!" Sooner or later he'll appreciate my efforts to document our summer escapades!

Please Humor Me!

Just like everyone else I'm in love with this tag! I've loved thinking back to my first memories of people! So please humor me and leave a comment!

1. Add a comment on my blog. Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Do they really not get it?!

Ben is the brother to torment that I never really got. Last night I noticed that Ben has the longest eyelashes I have ever seen on a guy, after much persuading, I convinced him to let me put mascara on him! Hook line and sinker he let me put more makeup on him, and I loved every minute of it! After a few good laughs and hilarious pictures I helped him take it off. While I was washing his face for him he said, "I'm so glad I'm not a girl, it's a lot of work!" It was like a light bulb finally went off in his head! It made me realize, guys really don't get how much work it is being a girl! From makeup, to hair, clothes, the magic time of the month, the always changing hormones, and everything else I missed. I doubt that men will ever understand what goes into getting ready for the day. I go to all the work to look good, and then they don't even notice until I don't have makeup on and I look like a cave woman! I guess that is just one of the many differences between men and women!

What a Weekend....NOT!

Well my weekend shall go down in history as the most boring weekend ever! Friday afternoon on my lunch I went to Best Buy and bought an ipod shuffle in efforts to lift my spirits. Friday after work I went home and played on itunes for probably 4 or 5 hours. I got it all set up, and was very excited to have it so I could have so some tunes to listen to while I laid out on Saturday. After a long grueling night of nothing I went to bed at 10:25. It poured Friday all through the night I and woke up to a very wet, cloudy, humid day! No laying out for Brooke!:( I ran a few errands, and came back and watch 6 episodes of I love the New Millennium. (which was absolutely hilarious!) I made enough enchiladas to feed six, all for myself! After that I ran to Walgreen's to pick up some pictures, came back home took a bubble bath and went to bed. (at 10:45) EXCITING! Sunday I woke up went to church came home and took a nap. I was excited because Andy came down last night. I did break the Sabbath and we went to dinner, after dinner we went back to my apartment and just hung out. I loved having someone to hang out with! Especially my best friend! So that wraps up my boring weekend, I probably just bored you to sleep! Please keep me in your prayers that I'll find some good friends! SOON!!!!

Thoughts for the week....

Well folks, here is what you've been waiting for all week! The inner thoughts of Brooke Jensen...
-Today I spearheaded a DFCU family fun night for my branch, and I'm SO excited!
-I guess the St. George Branch is now know as "MY branch"
-I hate getting ready but love how I feel the days that I do. (Like today. This morning I look in the mirror and thought, "Damn Gina!")
-Today a man came in and told me how "shity" the world is and then left! I'm not sure what he wanted, he was crazy.
-I'm pretty lame, if Ben has plans other then me, I have none!
-Any lemon flavored drink tastes like pledge.
-Brad comes home 8 months from today!!! YAY!!!!
-I have zero plans this weekend, Scrapbooking here I come!
-Jimmy John's are my favorite sandwiches. ( I had one for lunch today)
-I got 11 1/2 hours of sleep last night, and I still had a hard time waking up this morning.
-I'm pretty sure I need to go to Facebook and Blogging anonymous, first step admitting the problem. I Brooke Jensen have a problem!
-I cleaned the branch break room yesterday, NEVER EVER AGAIN! There was Cafe Rio in there from 3 months ago, SICK!
-If you pay tithing with a bad attitude are the blessings counteracted?!
-I got August 22nd off, Girl's weekend here I come!
-Ben told me there was no such thing as a perfect 10, do you think that is true?
-I went to Best Buy today and the cutest guy helped, he was totally hitting on him! I'm being serious, I'm not just saying to make myself feel better! He forgot to ask for my number! LAME!

VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben needed to go to his car dealership in Vegas Monday night and asked if I wanted to tag along. Of course I wanted to, I'm always up for Vegas, although this time it was just a short little trip. By the time we got down there the dealership was closed so we just went to dinner. We went to Cesar's Palace and ate at Cheesecake Factory, YUMMY! It wasn't very late so we thought we would kill some time by heading to "The Largest Gift Shop in the World".(I don't even believe that!) We had a great time laughing at all the stupid stuff, but didn't leave without the essentials, you know, a boa, a bride and groom crown, and matching rings! We then tried to find the creepiest wedding chapel in Vegas, check, The Chapel of the Flower! HAHA, enough said. After a brief photo shoot, we headed home. We had a ton of fun, and I'm already looking forward to the next Vegas extravaganza!

Ben and I on our way down.
Ben excited to eat! (or just to be with me, I am pretty fun!)
Ben handed me the bill and took a picture, I'm not really sure why. (oh but I didn't have to pay! Thanks Ben!)
Here we are at the gift shop, it really is almost a big as a block. (keep in mind this is in the heart of the LV ghetto!)
Us after we got the necessities!
What about this sign looks like a good idea!? Although it is a little alluring, INTIMATE! ELEGANT! LEGENDARY! Words I would usually use to describe a Vegas wedding!
Ready to be going home, I really was so tired! Eating, shopping and a photo shoot did me in!

My best friends!

Today I'm not going to be negative! I thought that I would blog about my favorite people! The Jensen (Bentley, Neider) girls! I have been blessed with having amazing sisters that are my best friends. I love each one of them for very different reasons:
Jenny: Is the life of any party, she is so much fun to be around and can make a dull situation fun!
Amy: Always goes above and beyond! She makes everything extra special, and is ALWAYS willing to help! (even though she has her 5 midgets!) I also admire the amazing mom that is she!
Mom: Mom could have a whole blog dedicated to the many reasons I love her! My mom is such a good example to me in every aspect of my life!
Heidi: Heidi is my favorite person to vent to, she is my advocate, she always takes my side and makes any bad situation seem ok. Heidi is always doing something so fun with her kids, how lucky for them that they will have those memories!
Jill: Jill is the brain I never got, she is my go to girl for any question regardless of what it is! Jill is a great example to me, she is such a hard worker and never quits until she has what she wants! She also has beautiful hair!
Jamie: Jamie is the peace keeper, she is always looking out for the underdog! Jamie is so sensitive to others and their feelings! She is also a really good mom to her FAT little Annie! I also love how happy Jamie always is, I hope when I grow up I can be as happy as she is in life!

When it rains, it pours.

It was a harsh realization being around my friends this past weekend, life continues without Brooke. Even though I haven't been home with my friends they are all together, and I'm kind of the odd man out. My excitement to see them quickly turned to sadness when I realized how out of the loop I am. Not only did things not go well being with them in SLC, I got in a huge fight with my best friend, and realized I couldn't hang out with my only friend in St. George as much. I'm waiting to catch a break down here! Why can't things start falling into play down here? Why can't I just find out how to be happy? Why when it rains does it always pour?!

There's no place like home!!!

I had a wonderful weekend at home! My weekend was full of family, friends, fun, and a LOT of driving!!! I got up to SLC Thursday night and I went and met up with my friends. I had fun with them, it's always good to see them! We just hung out and did a whole lot of nothing. It was great! I drove up to my cabin Friday morning to meet up with the rest of the gang. In true Jensen style I was up there by about 9:15am. It was so nice being up there away from the stresses of real life! I never wanted to come home! We rode 4-wheelers, went down to Oakley to see fireworks, and the best part of all: we did NOTHING! I came home Saturday afternoon stopped by Maga and Papa's to say hi, cute Maga filled my car up with gas for me! Love her!! After Maga and Papa's I headed home and got ready for a DATE. Yes, that's right I Brooke Jensen went on a date! We went and saw Indiana Jones, dumb, and we went and got Maggie Moo's ice cream, yummy! I went to church this morning, and then visited the Bentley residence. I'm now home and it's all just memories, but wonderful ones at that!

Driving up to SLC! Don't worry I don't have ADD (not) gas is cheap (also false), and I love being in a car of hours (false)
Andy was so exciting to see me! (I just had to help him realize it!) We went for a little romantic scooter ride together!
My good friend Jase, he just got back from his mission, it was so much fun to see him! He is a hoot! (Ok, me eyes look super creepy in this picture!)
Don't ask, I don't even think I have an answer! It is funny however!


How about some more driving!
The cute girls on our hike! That was my workout for the month!


Me and Andrew on the 4-wheelers, he love it!(I think it was probably because I was driving!)(Let's be honest, I am pretty fun!)
Me and Morgan, thank heavens she didn't throw up on me! The girls loved our little hike, well Morgan did until I tripped and she almost fell out! Sorry Amy!!
Jilly Bugs and I, we are now hardcore hikers! Don't mess with us!
Lazy Jill made me carry her baby, it's ok because I'm way strong!
Fireworks in Oakley! (the City, not my niece!)

I had such a fun weekend, thanks to everyone who made it so much fun. Including those who made me cry Saturday morning, you know who you are. Actually I'm so much fun you should be thanking me, Your Welcome! (HAHA just kidding, but seriously, your welcome!)

Why I love the 4th....

There are so many reasons that I love the 4th of July! Here are just a few...
-NO WORK!!!!
-Being with my family.
-Going up to my cabin.
-fireworks
-yummy food
-it's an official sign of summer
-the Oakley rodeo (although I haven't been in awhile)
-4-wheeling
-knowing I have nothing do to.
-Getting to celebrate our nation's birthday. (it's almost as big as mine!)
I hope everyone has a happy safe 4th of July!

SLC here I come!

I only have 3 hours and 24 minutes left of work!!! I'm so ready to be on my way! It is hot, hot, hot down here. I'm excited to be spending my weekend with my family at one of our most favorite places! Our cabin. It will be a wonderful weekend full of my favorite thing, doing absolutely nothing! HEAVEN!!! Let's just hope that I can find my way up to my cabin tomorrow, I've been up there probably a million times, but I don't think I've ever driven it myself. I'm also pretty tired, so pray that I can stay awake for the drive up. See you all soon! LOVES!

Thoughts for Tuesday...

-Today is technically Tuesday, but really like a Wednesday!
-I'm never having children, for a couple of reason. First being that I don't want to see them get hurt, second I'm WAY to SELFISH, third you have to be really responsible (not me!), and fourth I have brothers and sisters that can birth my suddo children!
-Mom and Dad bought me a laptop! How wonderful are they! :)
-I went to Cafe Rio and ate lunch for $1.03! Nothing beats a free meal!
-A lady came in and sang to one of the tellers today. Who does that?
-The wall next to my desk shares a wall with the bathroom and I think the fan is going to drive me into insanity!
-"Gary on the kick drum come, come!" (Not really sure where that one came from, but it made me laugh when I thought about it.)
-I'm going to Hawaii in January!
-It's supposed to be 111 degrees this weekend in SG! Glad I'm coming up to SLC!
-Facebook is my new guilty pleasure.
-I can't find David Cook's song "Always be my baby" on itunes! I'm pretty bent!
-Jamie thought that James really had a lucky golf ball. Seriously Jamie?!
-Jill doesn't comment on my blog very often! Thanks!
-I'm so excited to go up to SLC Thursday night.
-I'm even more excited for Bridget to Brookesit me Thursday night.
-Annie Neider is my new best friend, wither she likes is or not. Hear that Annie, we WILL be friends!
-I miss Kirstin's comments on my blog! (Please don't tone it down!)
-Maga thinks I have a gambling problem! I promise I don't!
-Jeff's comments usually make me laugh the hardest!
I think that's all for today! I hope everyone who reads this has an amazing day!

Maga is the BEST!

Ok, I know this is a really gross picture of me! Maga is seriously the best! In a previous post I mentioned that I would be really good gambling in Vegas. I guess that caused some alarm to Maga. Cute, wonderful, amazing Maga gave me $20 so I wouldn't make my way down there to try my luck! I guess she thought I had a gambling problem! So Maga rest assured, I will not be making my way down to Vegas to gamble any time soon!

A great start!

My families visit started off a little rocky. Most people were here by Wednesday night, so Thursday we decided we would go play at some fountains in Downtown St. George. We hadn't been at the fountains for more then 15 minutes when James fell. I watched him fall and didn't think much of it, when he stood up he had blood running down his little face. I ran over to him and to my horror his head was much worse then I thought it was. I grabbed him and started to apply pressure to his cut. My mom and Amy looked at it and we decided that he was going to need stitches. My mom, Jenny, James, and I headed to the ER, Heidi met us there. 14 snitches later, and one upset brave little boy, our family vacation started improving! We were all so impressed with how well James handled it!

BETTER THEN CHRISTMAS!

I have been telling myself for the past month if I could make it today I'd be set. Well it's finally here, the Jensen clan should start arriving around 6:00ish tonight. YAY!!!! I now I have friends until next Wednesday. Trent and Amy and their kids come down tonight! I'm taking the oldest three to go see Kung Fo Panda, I'm pretty excited. (I hope their drive goes well so we can make it) Mom, Heidi, Jenny, James, and Josh come down tomorrow. I'm thinking In-N-Out to celebrate their arrival! Then Thursday Jamie, Jill, and Annie. AHHHHH!!!!! We will have a party when they get here! It will be fun to have my family down here in my element. I'm so excited to see everyone and get to spend so much time with them. Best of all..... NO WORK!!!! I have Thursday and Friday off to do what I do best, a whole lot of nothing! Now I just have to get through today!:(
