7.13.09

My very favorite part of July...

*FIREWORKS*


7.4.09 Jake and I went to the Layton fireworks this year with
Mom, Riley, Mary, Charlotte, and the Pickups.
This was the first time I've tried taking pictures of fireworks.
I had a lot of fun. Sorry family for being the annoying photographer haha
I think I did a pretty good job of staying out of the way though.
Awesome fireworks, family, and fun!

{O}nce upon a time there was a little girl who wanted to donate her hair to locks of love.
She tried over and over again to grow her hair long enough to
donate 10 inches, but just couldn't do it.
She would get so excited when her hair grew past her shoulders, but once
her hair got that long it did not like to cooperate.
She quickly got sick of her growing hair and would chop it off.
This cycle went on for years and years.
Finally, the little girl was all grown up and ready to get married.
She grew her hair out long so that she could curl it all
pretty and do it up for her wedding day.
Since her hair was already past the point of when
she usually cut it off, the now grown up girl
decided she was finally going to do it.
After 8 long months, her hair was finally long enough to
donate 10 inches without looking like a boy.
So, the girl went to her favorite hair place and her
favorite hair girl braided her hair and cut off 10 long inches.
The girl was so happy she finally got to donate her hair
but even more happy to have short ish hair again.

Grades are in and I did better then I thought! 2 A's and 2 A-'s.
Technically 4 A's which sounds better anyway.
I have been so busy even with school out, we haven't had an official celebration.
Jake and I are going to the Mae concert this Saturday
which will definitely count as celebration!
They are my all time favorite band since JDunn introduced
me to them years ago. We love Mae!
Yay for awesome grades, sweet concerts, and no school this summer!

I feel like this is my life lately. I'll admit it is funny but to that poor

window washer it's just frustrating and a little sad.

I am that window washer.

I am trying to do everything right but it seems

like I am never getting those freakin windows washed!

I hope you all sort of understand my metaphor.

P.S. I didn't get into nursing school.

That my friends, are those so called windows I am speaking of.

Charlotte was such a good baby when I took her pictures this time.
We didn't find out until after that is was because she was concentrating
so hard on more important things. You know... pooping :)
Cute baby Charlotte, I just love her to pieces.
I am lucky that Riley and Mary are sharing her with me.
I love taking pictures of this precious little girl.

I had an interview for nursing school yesterday.
It will be a month before they let us know who makes it.
Don't worry I didn't need my fingernails this month anyways.
I hope I get to wear the funny hat!
Afterall, our uniforms make perfect Halloween costumes...right Kari :)

hello blog world,
I haven't seen you in quite awhile.
as you can see i have given
the blog quite a face lift.
i like it better. don't you?
apparently there are a handful of you
that actually read my blog. good to hear but surprising.
you keeping nagging that
i need to update, but this comes with a disclaimer.

{1} i being a college student am sort of busy...to put it lightly.
i never actually ever get caught up on
homework. i scramble to turn in
assignments on time and see if i can
somehow memorize three months
worth of notes in one night
before a test. blogging is usually the
last thing on my mind.

{2} i don't feel like our life is uber interesting.
don't get me wrong i love our new
life together but i don't know
what you want to hear.
i struggle at keeping you informed.
i am working on this.

{3} i think i lost my creative writing skills.
i used to be good at writing.
i can't figure out if its like riding a bike
and i'll always remember how to do it
or if its like unused cellphone minutes.
use it or lose it.

{4} we don't have any kiddies.
kids always give you something to blog about.
plus they always make a good picture.
for the time being i will use
your kids to keep me entertained
and give me ideas for
notes and photographs.

I will try to be better.
thanks, nan




we have a new addition to our family. an adorable one at that.

Our blog is currently under construction.
So don't mind the emptiness or crazy-lookingness of it. It will be fixed
shortly after I am done experimenting. Thanks!

Today I found more hair in my vacuum then I have on my head.
I could donate it to locks of love. Okay maybe that is an exaggeration.
All I have to say are Dyson's are amazing!
And so is my little brother for buying us one for our wedding!
Oh and sorry that was kinda gross for those folk who don't appreciate hair.

I like my name. Breanne is unique enough I think, but it seems
that many people I meet feel the need to make up a new name for me.
As if my given name isn't good enough or it's too hard to remember.
Come on. Here's just a preview

Brennie Squiggles

Princess Ban Breannie Bro Nis

Breezy Breee Bweanne SeaBreeze Nan Ba Rookie

I know, right?
