Strange things are happenin to me...

So so so so so so so sosososooooo much has happened.

If you didn't know, I am working at BYU info for my last weeks. And in order to do that I had to take one class I needed to graduate, so in order to get a grant to pay for school I had to take full credits. So I am taking golf, basketball, marriage class, and STATS.

That's right Stats. 

So tomorrow is finals. And I haven't studied one bit. But how could I, it was a beautiful day until it started storming like crazy right when I got to work.

Today was reading day. And I did everything but... I started tutoring these two boys, so cute and so smart. So thats what I did today, then Brad got home and we fell asleep till four! Then I went grocery shopping since I hadn't gone in two weeks. Gross I know, I was resorting to eating oatmeal for every meal, but hey it was fun to see how long we could eat canned foods with no milk or bread. 

Oh the bottom of my backbone just popped. I love it when that happens. Feels like my tail bone popped.

So, my friend Chelsea graduated from NURSING SCHOOL! Yahoo for Chels! She is Brad's sister PS.

I captured some real dandys of her.

I captured a dandy of him too.

Did you know Brad has freckles on his lips? He does. I hope none of you knew that, that would mean you were too close to him. I am the only one who gets to be that close.

Wow it really is pouring right now.

So she did it, if you need a nurse, she is it. She passed all her tests and we are so proud of her.

And then we went to my friend Abbey's reception.

She was beautiful. And in the background is a groomsmen cake of a rock climbing wall. Adorable.

My dear friend Gen has a cute boy. I took a glamor shot of them in front of the sunset and golf course.

Then we had a wedding. Oh how we love weddings. Brad has participated in three since he met me. Ours, Brooke's, and now Landon's!

Halle. She loves yellow, sidewalks and long walks on beaches.

Holy Smokeronies!!! All my nieces except my sister Faith on the very far left. Faith could never be left out!

Maddie holding Gemma (my newest niece and Summer's first baby), Remi, Molly, Sophie, Halle and screaming Ashtyn!

Oh did you want to see the Bride and Groom?? Oh okay fine.

Tiera's dress was beautiful as was she. Landon you looked okay your self. 

Look Sally, my shirt looks white here!! I look like a stoned drug head.

Brad and I make such an adorable, lovely, stunning, eternal couple. And do you know what?

We are married a year on the 27th! Of June! I'll talk about that later gator.

So above we have the bride and groom and all my sisters. And my creme shirt. Boy did I get in trouble for my cream shirt. And below we have just all my sisters! 

Did a gross color blind person wrap Brad's bday presents!!!!! Yes yes she did! I did!!! In the morning of Brad's birthday. Because if I would have unhid them before his birthday he would have had all of them guessed in the beginning!

I made him open them right when he woke up, because lucky me..I had to go to a Stats review.

This was his moving face when he saw my main present to him.

An Ipod touch!

He obviously was surprised. 

And his got stolen..so he loves his new touch. Especially when I told him two days after he got it that it had wifi. He had no idea of its capabilities. 

I made him an ice cream cake. Yep thats the cake in all its ugliness.

But it was super good. It had mint ice cream with chocolate cream cheese frosting and a crunchy layer in the middle of it consisting of chocolate syrup and oreos!

Our backyard is full of possibilities. That's Zane Curtis in the grass coffin. Ya, you wouldn't know it but he is the mayor's son.

We made mini pizzas and then cooked them. My favorite pizza is cheese and onions. Yummers.

I missed half of Brad's friends. But these are the true friends, the ones that stay the longest. Jk, Luke and Aj didn't have a ride :) But any girls that see this photo and want to hook up with Luke (far right) and Aj Second from the left. Give me a holler. Oh and Kevin, he isn't available. He is married.

So, that's my strange things are happening to me post.

Hope you love it, and can feel the love from Brad and I to you!

Cheers!

What's that you say?

Oh my is that Mr. Clark hikin the ball?

Yes siree.

Did you say that they won?

Yes yes I did.

Did you say Brandon's legs are too skinny to hold up his sockies.

Yes yes I did.

They walked away with a playoff win.

Eli was sporting a collar under his jersey. Classy Eli. He pretty much stole the game away with is snapping turtle hands.

Now for the championship.

Bring on the bitter cold.

And some frozen toes.

I'm wearing boots this time.

We chicas come for the game of course.

But don't worry, I didn't miss Brad getting his britches nearly pulled off. How could I? That's extreme stuff. ExtremeLY exciting stuff.

The fathers of the team members were there, coaching away. Its okay dads. We got it. We will just scare you to death by going into double overtime, and wear our middle school jerseys all the while. If you didn't go to Timpview. You are a terrible brute.

I guess I fall into that category.

Alright boys, girls will be passing out bear hugs after the game, whether you win or lose. But it will be a longer and softer bear hug if you win.

Brenna proved this bribe we gave them at the beginning by giving her snapping turtle hands Eli a hug of love and victory.

Did I mention we went to the Bar J Wranglers concert after?

And Brad was tempted to ask if he could be the newest member and be a drummer.

Welp, they wanted him, but he wouldn't wear the wranglers. Belt buckle he was okay with, but he said, the wranglers are what got him. Such a picky pete.

Secrets.

I'm sick of keeping all these secrets.

I'm a BYU operator. And I don't care who knows it.

Whoa. That was a huge secret that I was supposed to never announce. I just did it. There its out.

Call us.

We know everything there is to know about BYU.

422-info.

And we are giving out magnets in the wilk.

I love it.
Nobody knows about us.

Now we are going public baby.

Oh baby baby.

Public.

Also, I love sushi.

Also, I don't like Obama.

There I said it.

Flat out said it.

I have my reasons.

Hate me because of it.

But I'm educated as well.

I'm not just a join the Mormon crowd type.

Because I like french kissing before marriage. (with Mr. Guitar)

And some Mormons don't.

So there another secret is out.

This may cause problems.

An outrage.

A huge secret I've been holding in forever....
....
one time I drank pop from one of those pop machines oh fountain machines.

Like you know put my mouth under it and sucked on the part where it comes out. I pulled the lever. I was there forever. Sucking all these pops my mom wouldn't let me drink.

Pops like Mountain Dew.

Pops like Pepsi.

Pops like Dr. Pepper.

Pops like Coke.

Dr. Pepper was the best.

Still is the best.

Every once in awhile when I am feeling evil I buy a Dr. Pepper.

I don't tell anyone.

Cuz I'm the example right?? Right??

Ha!

Those poor people who bought fountain drinks at the carnival that night.

They got my saliva.

Actually I didn't try the ones I actually was allowed to drink....the root beer and sprite.

Also, my mom threw away Aladdin cuz Jazzy had too much cleavage.

Don't worry my mom has softened up....she lets the four year olds watch spiderman.

So....things have changed...

But still, we don't have 'sugar cereal'

That's out of the question.

Also, another secret...

I call my Lady Comp, my gameboy.

Actually Brad calls it that.

It stuck.

It wakes me up at 8, then i stick the pointing blue thing in my mouth and usually go back to sleep.

Whoa I'm pouring out the secrets today.

Also, I bought True Religions.

Yikes.

Bad Secret.

Expensive Secret.

Well I had a gift card.....so I just used it, and paid a little more....
That's okay right?

Right?

Natalie's mom called it the 'Brides treat'

No Natalies mom, you are a treat.

Ohhhh ya thats right.

Natalie is my friend.

We went to Costa today.

I had a piece of rice on my boob. She told me.

It stained my white shirt.

Louise (my boss) then got out her Tide pen. She Tided it. Its now a bigger stain.

Hopefully it will come out.

School starts on Monday.

Blahk.

One professor keeps emailing me things to do.

She sent me the same email twice. "Oh just in case you didn't get the first one"

What?

I did get the first one.
I'm also addicted to the enter button.
Bam.
Write a sentence.
Then enter a few times.
Bam
Bam
Bam
(Bam represents enter)
Anyway, Natalie's parents are here.

Really, they are going to be my best friends in heaven. Not here, cuz they live in Seattle.

Oh another secret.

Natalie is a secret operator too.


Shhhhhh.


And my old boss, Crystal....
She's pregnant and didn't know it.

Well, its a long story. A great story though.

That's why I am providing a secret link to her blog post about it.

So you can read it.

But if you are Crystal, you probably don't want that link, cuz you are already informed, cuz you wrote it.

Bam, enter.

There. Click there.

Also, Brad's stepdad, who is also named Brad, but Brad calls him Barney to the public. He lives by a man who is a mechanic. They fixed my brakes. Gave me new ones. Also they put new tires on my car.

They considered it a fun project.

I considered it an act of an angel.

Or two angels.

Which reminded me of this talk that I read while Brad watched the office.

Ha, I totally just portrayed myself as the spiritual good one, but really.....Brad is a sure walking religious perfect man.

So Crystal's blog, about all the people helping her and her husband, reminded me of this talk by Elder Holland.

It gives me comfort on a stormy day.

CLICKO HERE

Also, Berkeley told me she doesn't read posts unless there is a picture.

So the picture I have chosen.

Is this.

Oh before I show you.

Another secret.

Berkeley is another operator.

Okay.

Here it is.

Photo of the day.


This was at the Oakley Idaho 24th of July Parade.

I snapped it secretly.

It was 2008.

Fun secret fact.

Elder Haight is from Oakley.

We are rivals with Oakley Idaho.

I am going to dinner tonight with Brad's family.

Minus his brother who is married and lives in Lubbock.

We are going to Los Hermanos.

Sally lives here now.

Its official.

Her roommate stole her room.

So now she has a box room.

That's okay.

She runs track for them.

On schalarship.

Good thing I am not on schalaship.

I can't spell.

She will do well.
I know it.

Just so you know...

I love Brad. He is a good husband.

That's no secret though.

He puts up with a lot of me.

And only a select few know those things he puts up with.

But that's why he is my angel.

Walking angel.

He seems quiet and go easy, but deep down he is hiding everything.

Hiding his angel side.

It only comes out when nobody can identify him.

Like when I'm a sobbing mess.

Or when I'm a crazy faced turtle head.

Angels.

They are everywhere.

His Party.

It was Brad's Birthday party. It was a surprise party. I told him we had to go weed at my aunt and uncles house in order to prepare for our wedding. We have done it before so it wasn't this huge deal to go do that. When we pulled up, I said, "Oh somebody must be having a party at the pool." He said, "Brit, whats going on, why is everyone I know here?" Then I said, "Its your birthday party." Then he grabbed my face and kissed me, because my windows are tinted and we can do that. Oh did I say my windows are tinted, that was a lie. They are black. Nobody sees in, and we barely see out.

Regardless the party was awesome and Brad was COMPLETELY surprised. A feat I never thought I could accomplish. Although he didn't know I would get him a homemade paper chain for his birthday....so I guess I am capable of surprising.


Brad looks like he was about to do a belly flop. A birthday belly flop. A belly flop of love. Except then he dove. So.....nevermind on the belly flop.
I am pretty sure Brad's freckles are what convinced me to marry him. Just when I saw him swimming...I was like, wow I need to marry him because of those freckles. Then my kids will have those freckles. Hopefully maintained freckles.
From far away you cant really tell that he has freckles. Maybe I should drop the freckle topic and talk about his friends. They like him. He is cool to them. Except he started never hanging out with them. This is a sensitive subject, maybe I should stay away from it on my blog.

This is the beginning of a great synchronized dive.

Synchronize no more.

Benny, met him that night. He was a great jumper.

Friends of Brad's.

The cake. The cake of raspberry. The cake that took a long time to make. The cake that was good.

Rocky took control of the grill. We had steaks, pork, (swine flu, jk you cant get swine flu from eating pork, i read that from the Daily Universe, which is accurate), and hamburgers and hot dogs.
Brad and his mission buddy. His mission buddy forgot his swimwear and lived in Orem, so naturally he was going to borrow Brad's shorts, which were white and very see through. This was quite entertaining for all of us. He walked around holding his hands over himself, but when he went to dive, he stopped holding his hands over for coverage. Thats when we saw ....we saw everything.

I get married to his face in 17 days.
