Gosh You're So Immature
Vann and I had an adventure night. He's crazy.
Everybody should act like they're 9 every once in a while...

Tiger Claw
Saturday.
We ran the half marathon.
What a challenge!!
I woke up with a really bad feeling - I did NOT want to run. But for some insane reason I got in the car with everyone else, lined up at the starting line, and started running when they shot the canon (cannon?). The beginning was good. About mile 4 I was like "I'm alive! I'm doin' good! This is easy peasy!" But about mile 7 my body did the do-do-dee-do sound that your computer makes when it shuts down. There was a girl who was a little bit ahead of me the whole time wearing a yellow jacket and I tried my best to stay with her. But then she started walking a lot and I ended up passing her. About mile 8 Rebekka and Jason caught up to me and they were my saviors. They stayed with me the entire rest of the time! Going slow and just helping me. Thanks so much you guys - that meant a lot!
I thought it would never end, but then we saw the finish line - and did the moon walk over it. I saw Carmen (she finished about 1/2 hour before us) and we hugged and I started crying...haha! It was so hard, and I got some pretty awesome blisters. But I'm glad I did it - it's one thing I can add to my list of accomplishments! Here are some pictures that I got off the website (I didn't bring my camera this time becuase I was in denial...I REALLY didn't want to run:
Here's Carmen - crazy woman ran the whole thing without stopping even for water!
Here's us at the beginning - I was feelin' good! Oh yeah - did I mention it snowed the whole time?!
Here's us - Jason is doing some weird Russian dance...haha!
Don't we look happy at mile 8?
Finally! It's over - we're doing the moon walk over the finish....!
So, what have I learned?
1. I need to train more.
2. I can do hard things.

Ho Hum
Today I had to whip out my mad ice-walking skills. Yep - it snowed yesterday. A lot. And now the sun is out and it's all ice.
I'm so confused, among other things, about this weather! Will it ever be warm? It seems like every time we take one step forward towards warmness, we take two steps back.
It's almost April - I can't believe it.
1. I'm grateful for the internet.
2. I'm grateful for my storage shed in the backyard.
3. I'm grateful this semester is almost over!!

I'm listening to Lilly Allen and the guy across from me keeps staring...stop it!
Ok good he left.
I deleted my facebook. Well - I "deactivated" it. Which means I could technically just sign in again and everything would be the same. But I'm not going to reactivate it until after this semester at least. I spend too much time on there - which I now spend on my blog. I deleted it last year for a few months, it was a good detox.
Here are my 3 things for the day:
1. I'm grateful for music.
2. I'm grateful that Heavenly Father listens to our prayers, even if He doesn't answer them right away.
3. I'm grateful that the sun is out today, because it wasn't yesterday and it was freezing!

Be Happy
According to Dr. Seligman - if you write down everyday 3 things that you're greatful for, in 6 months you will be happier. I accept your challenge Doctah! Here goes:
Today I am greatful (ok I have never really learned how to spell greatful/grateful correctly. I am going to go with grateful, even though that spelling makes me think of a cheese grater) for:
1. My best friend Carmen. She is so good.
2. The beautiful view of the mountains out my back window.
3. That I have a job.
I feel better already.

Hello Blog!
It's been a little while - but I finally have something to say:
1. I went to the best concert - Missy Higgins - on Saturday. We flew out Friday to Long Beach and stayed with my grandpa's cousin Gayle. We went to the beach and then Saturday we went to the concert in LA Saturday night. (When I say "we" I mean me, my sister Taylor, and cousin Falyn.) It was such a good concert! It was definitely worth the 12 hour trip home:
2. Yeah - it was bad. I didn't get on the flight back to Salt Lake (my mom works for Jet Blue, and we fly for free, but since I'm over 21 I got kicked off and now have to use the Buddy Passes. So we fly stand-by, which is always an adventure.) Taylor got on - barely - and then I hopped on to Las Vegas about an hour later. Then the flight from Vegas to Salt Lake got delayed until 7pm - so I waited there for like 5 hours which was fine - I'd never been to the Vegas airport, it's pretty cool. But the whole time I didn't know if I was going to be able to get on since the flight was sold-out and I was a stand-by. But by a miracle I got a seat - 2A! That's a window baby. Yeah - prayer works:
3. It does. I almost started crying when the lady was like - "Brittney, come here I got a seat for you." WAA! I thought my dad would have to drive out and get me, either that or I'd rent a car and drive myself. But it all worked out - Heavenly Father was watching out for me.
4. Last night I got home at 12AM to Carmen and Rebekka on the couch doing HW. Rebekka's paper was due today, and Carmen had an assignment to finish that was also due today so I wrote it for her. I had a full draft due today, but I decided to ignore it. Turns out that Carmen's assignment isn't due until Wednesday, Rebekka's paper (that she stayed up till 3AM writing) isn't due until NEXT Monday (haha), and my draft got pushed back until Wednesday! Ha - we're true procrastinators, but this time being unorganized actually worked out for us.
