{home again home again}

So this weekend was amazing for 2 reasons:

The first reason: GENERAL CONFERENCE! It really is the best. Two straight days of feeling the spirit so strongly and being edified by some of the most amazing men on the planet. I don't think it can get any better than that.

Actually, maybe it can...

Reason number 2 why this weekend was so amazing: I spent it at home sweet home!

Why home is so great:

I get to walk through this door into my favorite place in the whole world

My mom makes the most incredible food

Everything about it practically screams "comfy"

It is beautiful

I get to wear my sisters clothes...boo yeah

It is so festive!

I get to spend time with my family

My little Sophie dog is ADORABLE!

Did i mention my mom makes REALLY good food?

It was a perfect weekend to say the least!

A Must See

Have you seen this yet??

OK Go- White Knuckles


On my list of things to do:
-Teach Sophie how to perform like these dogs

Maybe she should learn the simple "sit" command first...

Just Me and Harold

I am in the middle of writing a 15 page paper and my mind is on thinking overload. I needed a break from my paper so right now it is just me and Harold...the Harold B. Lee Library that is. That is where i was this weekend, that is where i am now, and that is where i will spend a large portion of the remaining semester. Sigh.

Lucky for me though, the library can actually be a very entertaining place. Take right now, for example. To my right I can watch a very desperate boy flirt with a complete stranger (who looks like she wants to run away). On my left i can see a sadly unhygienic individual digging for gold in their oh so large nostril. In front of me i can see some poor soul struggle to keep his head up probably due to the lack of sleep he got this weekend. And just around the corner is the entrance to the fourth floor where i can watch the comings and goings of all sorts of people. In my head is my music, Vivaldi, if you want specifics. And on my phone is a text message from my one of my roommates, patiently waiting for a reply. In my back pack is an empty chewy bar wrapper...darn. And above me is a fluorescent light that i wish would stop flickering. In a few minutes i will probably witness something funny--for example, i watched a person noisily knock over a trashcan when he turned his head to take one last glance at a very pretty girl. And in another few minutes, i will probably be the one doing something embarrassing. Oh Herald, for such a studious place, you sure are entertaining.

Well i have prolonged the inevitable for long enough. Now it is paper writing time!

Blimey!!!

Yessssssssssssssssss!

A new Harry Potter trailer just came out!!!! Sorry for all you non-HP fans out there (i am determined to change you, ps) but i am just a wee bit obsessed!

This trailer is Life. Changing. Watch it; watch it again; and again; and again! Ah!!!

What did i tell you? Amazing right?

{The Countdown}

It's time...

"Time for what?" you might ask.

Well I will tell you...but maybe you should sit down first. Okay.

It's time...for a countdown to one of the most important days of my life!



57 days till HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS (part one) comes to theaters!!!!!!

Ah! I think i might die. Just take a look at this



Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

November 19th cannot come soon enough!

I. Am. So. Excited.

Baby Cake

Two words: Baby. Cake.

No I am not talking about food! I am talking about my adorable, sweet, and wonderful little sister Kate...aka Baby Cake.

Kate came to Provo on Saturday to spend the weekend with me. Basically, I have been looking forward to this weekend for forever now and I am depressed that it has already come and gone. We had a blast, didn’t we Kate? Just like we always do. Much to her dismay, I didn’t have anything exciting planned; but I could sit in a room with Kate all day and it would still be one of the best days ever.

After a few bad directions on my part, and poor following directions on Kate’s, she finally made it. We spent the day cleaning my room, eating pound cake, going to a non-existent bridal fair, and hanging out with my rommies and family. For dinner we went to pizza pie café…um yu-um! All you can eat pasta, pizza, salad, and dessert! Please say hello to Brianna Heaven. It was deeeeeee-lish! Sunday was spent attending church, going for a ride on the scoot, and watching a movie.

Unfortunately the weekend went by almost as fast as writing this paragraph did. Life would be so much better if Kate and I still lived together…but since we don’t, we will just have to make do with phone calls, text messages, and occasional visits. Sigh.

Not to get all mushy gushy or anything, but I just have to say how much I love my little sister. She is my best friend. No one knows me like Kate does, and no one can make me laugh like Kate does. She is beautiful and smart and talented, and I look up to her in every way—including height. Time spent with Kate is time spent doing good, laughing, crying, being silly, eating, dancing, talking, singing, quoting, and more laughing. She is the BOMB! And I love her more than she can ever know. So thanks Kate for being the best sister in the whole wide world.

P.S. For Kate: “Poooooooooooor Jeckles”

{Thanks}

Can i just send a gargantuan thank you out into the abyss of BYU? Some kind soul out there has made me so very happy. The first week of school, forgetful me left my favorite, London authentic ring sitting on a bathroom sink. To my despair it was gone when i went back to retrieve it. After a week and a half of checking the lost and found not once, but twice daily (and probably annoying the heck out of the workers)...my ring was returned! It was all i could do to keep myself from screaming and jumping up and down out of sheer joy--oh wait, i did do that! Now my beautiful ring is back with me where it belongs and i wish i could give its finder/returner a big hug. I guess sending this meager thank you out into the void will have to suffice.
