I heard something....

I heard that if you get swine flu you mutate into this...

I don't know if it's true, but it's something to think about. ;)

This post....

Sorry to get a good laugh at your expense Andrea, but this is the BEST blog post ever!!!!.....
It totally made my day, quite possibly my life! I guess someday I'll have kids and this will probably happen to me, won't be so funny then!

UNO MOSS!!!!

Annie and I had our last shabang in St. George this weekend. And what could be better then spending it in Sin City?! We went club hopping, bar jumping, and went to a few "shows". Ok, that's a huge lie! We didn't do any of those things, although my new friend Diesel really wanted me to go to his club, he even rapped for me. Unfortunately his efforts were not enough, we said thank you and that we would like a wrist band anyways! Annie and I had tons of fun people watching, shopping, and of course some CheeseCake Factory. I have no idea what I'm going to do without my Vegas get aways! :)

This is us heading down, I tried to convince Annie not wear the hat! :) I still love you Annie!
SIN CITY BABY!
Only in Vegas!
These are our cool wrist bands from Diesel.

Heaven...

25 main coconut cream cup cake + diet coke +
warm sunny day + backyard swimming pool + "being sick"=

One VERY happy Brooke! :)

ZERO Motivation!!!!

I have a week left of school, and less then that at work. I have no motivation to work while at work, and homework!? Oh boy, I would rather lose my right arm. It's warm down here and I just want to be laying out at the pool doing what I do best NOTHING! I registered for a summer semester at school, but I'm quickly beginning to think I just don't have it in me! I think I have a serious case of the summer time blues! I'm ready for warm summer days, and being home with the family. Someone say a prayer that I'll find it in me to pack and drive up to Salt Lake, with the lack of motivation I have, I don't know that I'll do it. :) Anyone want to do some homework for me? In fact, that fact that I'm doing this blog is a miracle in and of it's self! The point I'm trying to make..... I just want to do a whole lot of nothing!...... is that really too much to ask?!

Whirl Wind of Emotions...

I know I haven't blogged in a while, it's not that I don't have exciting things going on in my life, it's just that there is SO much going on. There is good and bad, happy and sad right now. I've never felt so many emotions at once. I move to Salt Lake a week from tomorrow, as most of you know I've been looking forward to this move for quite some time now. However now that it's here I can't decide how I feel. It will be so good to be home with my family, friends, and everything else I love. Leaving St. George makes my heart hurt a little bit! This has been my life for two years, it's all I know! I've met some of my closest friends down here, and I don't know what it will be like when they aren't a part of my everyday life. Change is good, I'm excited to be moving forward and experiencing new things in life. There is just SO much change at once. I'm completely over whelmed, and am trying to keep my feet on the ground to get me through this next week. I haven't even started to think about what to do once I'm home, I should probably get on that.

Next week is going to be killer! I've got school, not only school but finals and final projects due, my last week of work, training my replacement, moving, and getting in all of my final goodbyes! WOW!!! Life is crazy! I have no idea what's in store for me next, but as my dad once said (ok said to many times to even think about counting), "Gritt your teeth and bear it!".

I promise I'll get pictures, something better to blog about, or something before to long! I now officially have the "lame" blog! :(

My weekend?.....

....Needless to say, my weekend was pretty great!

Thank you Josh!

Dear Josh,

Do you remember how you coughed and coughed all weekend? And how you didn't cover your mouth!? Well I'm here to tell you that you left Brookie sick. I have a congested head, a cough, goopy eyes, and a sore throat. Leaving me sick doesn't in any way change my love for you, just next time you don't need to share with me. :)

Loves,

Brooke

American Idol Recap...

*Annie Karen I'm finally doing my own Idol post...
Danny: I'm probably Danny's biggest fan, but I didn't love him last night. He still did good, just wasn't in love.
Lil Rounds: I really like her and want her to do well, however it just seems week to week she's just fighting to stay around. She keeps picking songs the judges hate, however I kind of liked her song last night.
Anoop: LOVED him last night, perfect song for him.
Scott: I'm bored, it's the same thing every week with him, I'm ready for him to go. Sorry Scott.
Allison: She is by far my favorite female contestant. I hope she can pull herself out of the bottom three this week, I thought she did really good last night.
Matt: I'm with Kara, I love him! After last weeks disaster, I was happy to see him do so well. He rocked it last night.
Adam: I hate that I love Adam! He was AMAZING last night! I think he's here to stay, if not win the entire thing!

Blog Title

It's an extremely busy day at work (wink), I'm sitting here thinking about my blog and I thought, "In 3 weeks my life will no longer be in Dixie." My blog title will become inaccurate. It got me thinking, "What is the title for this new chapter of life?" I'm so excited about moving Northward, being with my family, my friends, and residing in the Salt Lake Valley that I love so much. So what should my new blog title be? Any suggestions?

Conference recap...

Ok, let's be honest, I got very little out of conference. I did listen very closely to one talk, Elder Hail. Anyone else catch it?! Really good. He made a couple of points that I really liked.
First... I can't word it quite like him, but he was talking about how many people are facing very limited decisions and limited freedom due to previous poor choices. He then talked about how nothing is outside of the Saviors ability to help us. How cool is that?!
Second, was my favorite, he said that the 3 most sincere words you can say to your spouse is, "I love you." The 4 most caring words you can say is, "We can't afford it." Although I need to work on living that way, I really liked it. (don't worry that I don't have a spouse either!)
Sadly enough, that was about all I got out of conference, but it's something right?! :)
*How lame am I that my "conference recap" consists of ONE talk!*

Lance...

This is Lance, he is about 4 months old, he just has he first surgery of a series to correct a clef lip and a clef pallet. He belongs to Shaleigh, one of my really good friends from work. I wish I had a before picture so you could see how good his lip looks, it's amazing what modern medicine can do! He was in surgery for three hours yesterday and everything went remarkable. He's doing well and might even get to come home from the hospital today.

I feel a change in the winds says I.

*This is more of my own journaling purposes then anything else*

For the last two years I have been a resident of St. George Utah. I've worked at the St. George branch of Deseret Frist Credit Union. I've lived on my own, and haven't had anyone to answer to. Well my life is about to change, and it's going to change lots. May 1st (yes, Jill I know, that is your birthday) I'll be moving back up to Salt Lake. Life as I know it will be changing. It's a surprisingly bitter sweet change. While I'm excited for something new in my life, I know I'm going to miss the people and things I've come to love while in St. George. Yesterday I put my notice in at work (April 30th, I know it's far away, but for transfer purposes I had to.). Change is good, scary, but good. I feel like change is something I really need in my life right now. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut for the last couple of months. So my goal for the next month is to enjoy my remaining time in St. George. I know that once I get home I'm going to miss so much about Dixie.

Being down here has been such a growing experience. I think I've really become the person I'm going to be. I think that starts to happen when mom and and aren't around to second questions decisions, and you learn through trial and error. There have been some lessons learned the hard way, but I wouldn't trade them. I never used to believe people when they would say "I'm grateful for my trials", I feel like now I'm honestly thankful for them. Life isn't meant to be easy, were not forced to learn and grow when we aren't tired. My time in St. George has been wonderful and horrible, happy and sad, I've laughed and I've cried. Through it all I've grown and learned.

So here I am at the end of a chapter of life and about to embark on the next one. Who knows what's next for me in life, marriage, a mission, college?! I have no idea, but I'm looking forward to it. I've loved my time in St. George, and I will never forget the people I've met here. Change is good! Just embrace it! :)

Cousins...

This morning I had that chance to be a sinner and go to brunch with my two cousins Kalie, and Mady. It was fun to get caught up on life and take a trip down memory lane. It was fun to spend time with them. Thanks for making time for me girls!

In other updates in my life.... there aren't any.
