and the days go on!

Boy how time just flies by these days. It seems like just yesterday that it was the beginning of the year. Well, here are some pictures of whats been going on lately! The one above is right before we went out to dinner for Dill's b-day!

This is Dill in his new pea coat and thinking he is cool because some dude gave him a cigar on his last day of work, and now he is actually of legal age to smoke! So not that exciting!

Every year, my friends and i always do an anitivalentines day dinner, and this is it. The whole gang went to Ruby Tuesdays! We had a lot of fun and a really great dinner!

This is when i went to St. George the beg. of february! For some reason this is the only picture i took, and i don't even know what fathead and i were doing at this point. Im pretty sure it was saturday night, or right before the superbowl. Cute little fathead! I've had a lot of fan the past couple of months and look forward to my own b-day which is in a couple of weeks! Will have to remember to take pictures then! Tah tah for now! Love you all!

Boy how time just flies by these days! It seems like just yesterday that the new year started, and yet it is March 1. WOW, thats all i can say. I do however have some pictures of all the stuff i have done since my last post.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I'm really looking forward to this new year, and all that it holds. I honestly can't wait to see what it brings! I am also so very thankful for all of my family and friends and i love you all so very much! Thanks to all those who helped my family out so much this last year! Mainly neighbors and the amazing John and Jane Bracken clan! You guys are wonderful and i am so thankful that you are apart of our lives!
So, i have a couple of new years resolutions this year. The first two are to workout every day, minus sunday, and eat healthier! I also want to make sure that i continue going to the temple every tuesday, because i know that is a life saver and probably the only thing that keeps me going sometimes. I also just want to be more Christ like. I want to be kinder to people(mainly customers), and not talk bad about anyone. I have a problem of talking about people when i need to vent, so my solution is to only vent to my mother and my Heavenly Father, and just realize that we are all human beings and no one is perfect, including my self! I am just so thankful for all that i have and can not wait to see what the new year brings! Lets go 2010! Love you all and hope all of you have a wonderful year!- will try and post pictures soon-
Love Brandie xoxoxo

Finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am finally done with school. I turned in my final on Tuesday and i am so freakin excited! Dance is also done after today and i am kind of excited about that as well. I am looking forward to a little break from everything! For the next while i am just going to relax and enjoy the nothingness! Once the beginning of the year comes i will start saving for school. I am also planning on taking a little road trip to St. George to see my fam. that i lived with for 2 years while i was attending Dixie, and i love and miss them so much! Wahoo yeah break time!

Almost done....

Well, i am almost done with school for a while. I have two weeks left and then i will be done until August. Yup, you read right until August. I have decided to take a semester off of school, so i can save. I figured it out, and i will be able to save close to 4 thousand dollars if i take one semester off. By doing so, i will be able to become a full time student again and hopefully get done with school a little faster. I am actually really excited for this, because i have been feeling really overwhelmed with everything right now and this will be a much needed and relaxing break. No, i will not be quiting everything, just school for a semester. i will still have work and dance, i just won't have school.
You may be wondering how the dating thing is going, and it well, it kind of ended. Don't feel bad, i just wasn't feeling it any more. We are kind of friends, but we will see as time goes on if he still wants to be friends. I'm not really worried or saddened, because I know all will work out and I will find the right guy when it is time.
That is really all that is going on in my life right now. Just finishing up my last semester for a little while. Hope all is going well for the rest of you. Love you all and may you enjoy this wonderful time of year!

Fun Fun Fun...

Right now, I am having a lot of fun. I went on another date with Jens, the kid from the last post, and we had a great time. At least i had a great time. Pretty sure he had a good time, or he would not have held my hand. Really enjoying this little relationship thingy right now and am excited to see where it takes me. School is almost over, thankfully, and work is okay.
I had a sleep over with a couple of girls from work over the weekend and that was also a lot of fun. Have been hanging out a lot with the girls from work and i really enjoy their company! I had the unfortunate opportunity to be on a jury friday,and i can honestly say that it sucked and i hope that I will never have to do it again! I was there for 12 1/2 hours and it was the longest day of my life.I was so mad that it was my day off and i had to spend the entire day there. They made us take a lunch break, but wouldn't feed us lunch! How rude! they fed us dinner, but that was only because we were there for so freakin long.
Besides jury duty, everything is going pretty darn good. I still go to the temple every Tuesday with friends and Jens comes with us every other tuesday so far, because he works the other ones. Thats all that has been happening since my last post. I will try and take more pictures and post them, but no promises. Love you all and hope you all have a wonderful week! xoxoxo

So long...

So, i have been putting off updating this thing, because i feel i have nothing exciting to tell people. I feel my life is pretty darn boring. Well, i decided to give you all a little update. I am now half way through this semester and all i can do is hope to pass this class. The class in question is my "Linguistics and Education" class. This class is really hard and i just hope to pass it.
Dance is going pretty good. Some may not have heard, but one of our co-owners/second mom/dance teacher passed away on September 11 from cancer. We miss her a ton and dance will never be the same. It has been a hard couple of months, but I am doing my best at pulling my self back together. I am also teaching three hours on Tuesdays, and I love that. I also now get paid for my teacher this year! It's not a ton, for i only work three hours a week, but it is much needed and much appreciated money. It really helps me pay for all my bills.
Work is going alright. I have been given an extra job at work and now receive the inventory truck every Tuesday and Thursday. I really enjoy this part of the job, because it gets me away from all of our stupid customers! Although i don't really enjoy my job, i really enjoy all the people i work with. They are all so amazing and i am so glad to have all of them in my life. The have helped me so much the past couple of months, that i have no idea what i would do without them.
One exciting thing that is going on, is that i have kind of started dating. I have gone on three dates lately and plan to go on another one on Friday. All three of these dates only involve two people. One guy, i feel will just be friends with right now. We went on 1 1/2 dates. You may ask how do you go on 1 1/2 dates? Well, the first one i paid for my self and we all went as friends, but there was an even number of boys and girls. The second one was an actual date. I really enjoyed the first and had a great time. I enjoyed the second but wasn't really feeling it. We held hands and i didn't feel any sparks, so, im leaning more to the friends role with him at the moment. The second guy i went on a blind date with him the day of my dance teachers funeral and i don't think i was in the best mindset for that one. He never did anything after that, so i figured nothing was going to happen with that. Well, he is the friend of on of my work friends and see him every once in a while. I just found out the other day that she gave him my number because he wanted to take me on another date. Well, he asked and we are going on another date on Friday! I am getting excited for this one and we will just have to see how it goes!
Well, that is all that has been going on in my life lately, and i will try to write on this thing at least once a week! Love you all and hope you are all doing good!

Logan Temple!

I went to the Logan Temple today with my mom, neighbor Lisa, and my best bud from work cleo. My mom and Lisa went and did a session, while cleo and i went and did baptisms! The logan temple is my favorite, and it was just wonderful to be there! The spirit was so strong there, it was amazing! It was Cleo's first time, and only my second time! We have now decided that we have to do this at least once a month! I can't explain how peaceful it was to be there! There is no better place to be on this earth than the temple! It lifted my spirits so high. I have been feeling really low lately, and this helped me out so much! I have been on a spiritual high ever since i left there!

All is still going well. School is getting ready to start in a couple of weeks, and i was not ready before the temple, but i am feeling ready now! It is amazing how much the temple can help you! I now see why the prophet tells you to go there as often as possible. I really can't believe that it is time for school to start again, but it is and i am now ready for it! Work is also still going well. I am working full time now, and i now recieve the inventory truck every tuesday and thursday! I love the people i work with so much. I don't know if i can say the same thing for the job its self, but i am thankful that i have one! All the fam is also doing great! Dillon is graduated now and is working at some place called E2 fabrication. He does not truly enjoy it, but yet again it is a job. Other than that, i have just been working! All is well, and i hope all of you are also doing well!
