Food for Thought!

I had a few thoughts and experiences yesterday I felt like blogging about, none of them are really remotely serious. I guess this could be more one of my "Brooke's Thoughts" post. (Haven't done one of these in ages.)
-See the picture of me? Yesterday for my new job I had to go get my employee picture taken. I felt like I was back in middle school, I found myself changing and changing do and undoing my hair, everything you do for a cheesy year book picture, all for an employee picture?! I'll be the first to make fun of myself...I don't know why I cared so much, this is how I ended up, not bad, but...Why am I so weird?!
-I got a parking ticket at school yesterday. Those dang schools try to make an easy buck where ever they can! Losers!
-Have you seen those people who "protest" out side of their place of employment and just stand there with usually two people with a sign that says "Shame on (insert company name)! Labor Dispute!" They make me laugh every time, I hope they get what they want. Also is there a company that just makes a generic protest sign!? HA!
-I'm taking Math this summer, and Lulu legit is my teacher! (for those of you who know who she is...). Math is hard enough to learn in English, let alone in Lulu....
-I know I'm behind the times, but I just discovered Pandora, LOVE IT!
-I've almost been home from SG for a month, it feels like that part of my life is just a dream... How weird it's over.
-I seriously can't remember the last time I was this happy! Isn't life great!?
-I have the world's best friends....which brings me to my next thought.....
-Yesterday was Bridget's birthday, and boy did we party! Ok not really, but being with all my girl friends plus Andy did make me realize how lucky I am to have the friends that I do. There was 6 of us that were connected at the hip through high school. We have all graduated (even me!) and gone away to school, but we have all been able to keep in touch and stay close.
-Bridget and I have lived a block away our whole lives but we have always liked each other. However we have been been BFF's since 8th grade.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIDGE!!!!

Cabin Fever!

We made our first trek up to the cabin this past weekend. As always it provided LOTS, nay TONS, of cleaning, 4-wheeling, family, fun, and WAY to much eating! We were only up there for a night but it was a blasty blast. Jamie and I even faced a courageous battle against 30 angry hornets. Yes, folks we came away on top. I don't have many pictures, but I think theses ones say it all.

Even though it was cold, the kiddos couldn't get enough of the 4-wheelers.
This is what I get for being a smart alec. Amy was trying to get her kids to eat and asked them what shape pancake they wanted, me being a smart alec informed Amy I would like a stegosaurus. Amy truly is wonder woman folks.... for breakfast I ate a stegosaurus. How many people do you know that have done that?!

Well done America...

Well done!!!

I think I'm in love!

Any one catch Glee tonight....

I think I'm in love!

My life in Salt Lake...

I knew moving home was going to be a HUGE adjustment, and to be very honest I didn't think I would like it. Well I proved myself VERY wrong, I'm loving being home! My weekend activities began Thursday night, me and my girlfriends went to Cafe Rio to celebrate Michelle's birthday! I just love Michelle, I hope you a wonderful birthday Mush!

After dinner we went back to my house and successfully watched 3 hours of Youtube. I'll tell you what, I can NOT believe some of the things people post on the Internet of themselves. We started watching Youtube to see the previews of Glee Club, is anyone else SO excited for the premier of that this week?!
Friday started with a job interview, and ended with a job!!! Thank heavens, what a relief to be employed! Friday day we got together at Julianne's house for a little swimming-cheese cake birthday party.

Saturday brought a busy day with yet another birthday celebration. Saturday afternoon Bridget, Brittney and I went to Porcupine Grill for lunch, I got a BBQ pizza, soo YUMMY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITTNEY!After lunchy lunch Bridget and I went to Target to get some earrings. Bridget had a hard time narrowing it down, but came away with some killer ones in the end. I got a pretty cute shirt and some earrings myself!

4:00, wedding dressing fitting for Brookie. I still can't believe she getting married! Her dress is beautiful, and she looked so happy! Not much for a picture of her dress, but she wants to keep is under wraps until the big day.... but believe me, she looks so beautiful and skinny in her dress.

Saturday night has a birthday BBQ for Trent, I was slacking with my camera so I don't have any pictures. It was really fun, the food was great and the company was wonderful! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRENT! After the BBQ it was off to Jamie and Mike's for moving night. We watched Taken (great!) and started Doubt (LAME!!), thanks Jamie and Mike for showing us a good time! (Even with the sugar dilemma!)

I'm Blessed

Living home has far exceeded my expectations. Things aren't perfect, but I feel so blessed with all that I have. Tonight I'm especially thankful for my sister Jamie. I got to sleepover at her house last night and spend ALL day with her and her Annie. I feel so blessed to have a sister that I love so much and loves me the same way back. I don't mean to single any one sister out, but today I especially needed some sisterly love. Last night I faced a hard decision with a painful outcome, being with Jamie today was just what I needed. I was so over whelmed and thankful for the love and concern she showed for me today.

So Jame, thanks a million! I love you! Thanks for the entertainment today, just what I needed! Please give Miss Annie a message....

"Much to good for children!" :)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

So I have the MOST amazing mother in the world! I just thought I would let everyone know! Happy Mother's day Mom! I love you LOTS!

Wisdom Teeth.... OUT.

I hope the worst is behind me. Yesterday at 9:45 am I got four impacted (I believe that's the term) widsdom teeth taken out. Yes, I was put under which made things better. It's been just over 24 hours and I'm so sick of my current mouth situation. I was so nervous yesterday going into my appointment, as soon as I got back into the O.R. they got me right onto the laughing gas, HEAVEN! After that everything is kind of a blur.

This is me just before leaving to the doctors. A little nervous, but at least I still looked normal...
And here I am today... YUCK!!! I feel so gross and swollen, and the worst is yet to come with swelling. I've had a lot of down time, I've watched lots of movies, and had nothing but foods I can swollen without chewing. I can't wait to eat normal foods. I think when I can eat normal food again a Hamburger will be my food of choice!

Movies I've watched:

-Beauty and The Beast

-Charlot's Web

-Enchanted

-Undercover Blues

-The Kid

I know you would think I was a 6 year old! So everyone please keep updating your blogs it's a great pass time for me.

*As a side note I did write this post while on lortab, so if it doesn't make sense I'm sorry! :)

I had a nice day...

I had a dash of Brooke.....

And a full dose of this guy!....
Pretty good day if you ask me!
P.S. He's pretty cute, right?!

I'm off to get my wisdom teeth out in the morning, pretty nervous.... WISH ME LUCK!

Something New

I got new bedding today, and I'm pretty excited about it. I don't have a before picture of my bedding but it looks about the same minus the green. I know it looks a lot similar but there is just something magical about new, clean white linens. I really like how the green ties into the room. I'm aware the bedding just furthers the girlieness of the room, but I love it! :) Cheers to new bedding!

*P.S. We found the bedding at T.J. Maxx, which in my book makes it even better! :)

Life at home...

(This was at Jill's Birthday celebration on Friday)

Well I'm home, and I'm absolutely loving it! I've had so much fun with the time I've been able to spend with my family, and with my Bradley. Being home is so surreal and I'm just wanting for it to really sink in that I'm not going back to St. George. I finally have my room unpacked, the hunt for a job started today. I don't have anything yet, but I'm very hopeful that something will work out. Being home will come with it's up's and down's but I couldn't be more excited for it all. If anyone has ANY advice or knowledge of a job PLEASE let me know! Thanks All. Peace!

(Sorry for yet another "Moving Post")

The BIG day....

I'm coming to you live from Salt Lake City. Yes folks the move has been made. The last couple of days have been such a whirl wind of emotions. It was very bitter sweet leaving St. George, but I'm so excited for this new chapter of life! It's exciting to think about starting off fresh, it's just sad to see another chapter of life close. Leaving work was so hard, the St. George branch has been like my little family for the last two years. I was most sad to say goodbye to Shaleigh, she has been such a good friend to me. I already miss her like crazy! Enough about the sad part. I'm home and I'm so excited about it. I know things won't be perfect, but how exciting to be at the beginning?

This was my desk at DFCU, it's now empty. Sad.... I cried.
The memories in this room! Trust me there's a lot. It was sad to see it empty.

This was the lovely mess I came home to. Jill was nice and came out and hung out with me last night while I attempted to unpack. It was fun to have some time with her.

Not to forget Bradley. It had been two weeks since we had seen each other, and he knew this move was a bitter sweet one. So the cute boy had this BEAUTIFUL HUGE bouquet of flowers on my dresser. Guys he's pretty sweet!

These are them. They are absolutely beautiful, I think they have just about every kind of flower in there, and they smell divine! Thanks Bradley!

I know that sooner or later it's going to hit me that I'm really home, and the newness of it all will wear off. I was so blessed with the time I had in St. George and all of the wonderful people I was able to meet, especially Shaleigh. I'm excited to see what life has in store for me! Now I just need to find a job. Any suggestion, advice, connections?
