Mustache Mondays

We just got a Sammies resturant here in Rexburg. And on monday nights if you come with a mustache, you get a 75cent grilled cheese. But of course my roommates and I thought it was a 75cent milkshake (if we would have known otherwise, we probably would not have gone). But it was a great time nonetheless. We painted on our mustaches after FHE and drove over to Sammies where we were the only ones with mustaches. Peoples reactions=priceless.

Loved it. Love my roomates

That is all.

P.S- The first two pictures were signs found in the ladies restroom. I found them quite comical.

Trip to Utah

A few weekends ago I decided to make a trip to Salt lake. It was.....frustrating to say the least. But there were some great highlights about it:

• Going to the U of U football game with Hailey and watching a childhood friend play (and make a touchdown!)
  
• Eating at Rumbi
  
• Riding on the fun shuttle thing through Salt Lake
  
• Hanging out with Jayson
  
• Hanging out with Dustin
  
• Visiting with Alyssa and crashing at her place for a night.
  
• A trip to my beloved Herbs for Health.

I love making trips to Utah and visiting all of my great friends. I will be back in November, see you all then!

Let the festivities begin...

It is definitely Halloween season. Which means...

• Scary movies
• Halloween cookies
• Caramel Apples
• Pumpkin carving
• Costumes
• Parties
• Dance Parties
• and random guys knocking on the girls apartment doors dressed up in Abominable Snowmen costumes.
  
  

Yeah, I love Halloween.

Pokey a.k.a Pocahontas

That was my Redfish name.

I asked them why, and they said it was because of the resemblance.


I don't see it. Do you?


But at the moment I feel the Pocahontas part of me wanting to come out. The only place I want to be right now is in the mountains.


I'm getting some serious Redfish homesickness.


I'm itching to go camping, backpacking, hiking, rock climbing, kayking (just around the river bend), white water rafting, rope swinging (even though they chopped it down :'( Blasphemy!!), sitting around fires, playing the harmonica, star gazing, hot spring-ing, and every other fun thing you can do in the wilderness.


I miss it. A lot.


So yesterday Sarah and I were coming back from Jamba Juice and decided we wanted to go on a drive out to the wilderness. Usually one would stop and think and plan about such a thing. But we did not. We hit up the gas station and drove.

Drove out of Rexburg and towards this beautiful little town called Driggs. Let me just tell you how gorgeous it was. The trees were in the perfect fall-color stages of reds, yellows, and oranges and we had a view of the Tetons the whole way. It was a perfect drive.


But I still miss Redfish. and my friends and coworkers. Only 8 more months to go and I will be back. Until then, I will be searching for ways to fill my wilderness void.


See you soon Stanley, Idaho!

Here Comes the Bride

I sincerely hope that after reading the title, the question "is Britni getting married?" did not pop into your head. I understand that I am 19 years old and attending BYU-I DO, but that does NOT mean that I am getting married nor am I even thinking of the subject. This post about marriage is completely centered on my beautiful mother.

Because guess what?

She.Got.Hitched.

October 2nd, 2010 is the day she said "I do".

I went to Boise for the weekend and on friday morning her fiance (now husband-Phil), and her made the announcement that they were getting married the following day. So we headed to the mall to get our outfits. The next day we got ready, went to the flower shop to pick up the bouquets and boutonnieres, then headed to the Rose Gardens. It was a gorgeous day and a wonderful place for a simple wedding.

It was small, simple, and to the point.

We snapped some pictures afterwards and then headed to......the Cheese Cake Factory!!!! Where we loaded up on appetizers, entrees, drinks, and of course CHEESE CAKE.

It was a lovely day. and I love my new siblings :)

Congrats Mom&Phil!

And they lived happily ever after...

Need You Now

For the past hour I have had Lady Antebellum's song "Need You Now" on repeat.

Have you ever had a song, that whenever you hear it played, you just sigh and think..ahhhhhh. Well this is my song. And not because the lyrics pertain to my life in any means, because they do not. But because whenever I hear this song, for some reason, my shoulders relax and I become less stressed. Hence why I have been listening to this song for an hour now. School and life in general is stressful. I even tried buying it as my ringtone but somehow bought it as my ringback. Now the people who call me can hear it, but I am the only one who can not.

This is my song.

Dear Rexburg,Idaho

I am writing to you this day to tell you, thank you. Thank you for giving me such a beautiful place to live and learn. I know that you are definitely not appreciated to your fullest extent because most people just view you as a dry waste land with nothing to keep them entertained with. But I disagree. You are gorgeous, and the perfect place for me to live. And you also hold the perfect place for me to continue my education. Which leads me to my next topic: BYU-Idaho. This school in which you hold in your small town is incredible. I can't think of a better place for me (at least for the time being). A place that allows you to pray before every class begins, where there is a picture of the Savior at the front of every classroom, where the school shuts down once a week to hold a devotional for the students to attend, a school that has allowed my testimony to grow ten fold.

Thank you Rexburg. Thank you BYU-Idaho.

Sincerely,

A grateful student
