Just call me Auntie Beegee...

Hey peeps... I know its been a while but I'm trying to keep my filter up so I'm only trying to share with you what I feel is important. Most of the time I just talk myself out of writing cause I'm always like that's not important enough....blah blah blah...
Anyway onto the important news. As of Friday March 26, 2010 I have a niece She was 6lbs. 14oz. and was 20 inches long. Her name is Kathrine Marie Webster and she is Beautiful. Honestly the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. Not to offend any of you already parents out there. I'm sure your babies were cute, but my little munchkin is gorgeous. I'm not just saying that because I'm bias either. She came so fast that she didn't even have a weird shape to her head. Her baby smell is simply intoxicating I wish I could breath it in all day. I was able to see her every day this weekend which was great. This beautiful little life sat nestled in my arms. If only she could talk I'm sure she would have a world to tell us. She looked like she wanted to talk to me a couple of times. I just thought I was imagining things until my mom told me she thought she was trying to talk to her and Kort too. I can't wait to spend more time with her.
I can't wait for the day when I will have my own children nestled in my arms breathing in their sweet smell and knowing the duty I have to protect, teach, and remind them of their mission here on the earth. How glorious that day will be. I've been so blessed to have so much time to prepare and gain a sure testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm sure it's because I need to be prepared to raise the noble and great ones. So I will continue striving to live the Gospel and preparing for the day that I get to start my own eternal family.

I had an opportunity to see and reflect upon the circle of life. My niece came into this world on Friday morning and my good friend Hannah's Grandpa died on Saturday afternoon. He hadn't been doing very well for a couple of months and has gradually been going downhill for about two weeks so we knew it was coming but that doesn't always make it easier. It's hard seeing loved ones pass away especially when your so close to them. Like Hannah was with her grandpa. My heart goes out to Hannah and her family.
I'm so blessed to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and the knowledge that it has given me of eternal life. I'm grateful for the plan of salvation and the promise that we have of being with our loved ones again as we strive to live worthily. I know that Grandpa Lewis was welcomed on the other side with open arms by his loved ones that passed before him and that he will do the same for the ones he left behind when their day comes. If he's anything like my great grandparents which I'm sure he is. He's already busy readying the people and the kingdom for the day that the Savior comes again. What a beautiful thought.

Running....

I think I'm going to run a half Marathon in August. Sounds fun huh... I need to see how much I like running really, so I figured why not just bite the bullet and see if I like to run by training for a marathon. wish me luck it's part of my something new theme this year. Meg's running it too so I think between the 2 of us we can keep each other motivated and on track.

ZzzzZzzzZzzz..........WAKE UP!

I haven't been taking very good care of myself lately....I never sleep...And it's not that I don't want to. It's that I just don't have the motivation to go down to my room and go to bed. I know that I should and that I would just feel better about myself and I'd get more stuff done in the day. I just really struggle with making myself go to bed. Sometimes I envy those people that can just do it. I don't know if they've just always had that gift or if it's some kind of developed willpower that they have. I need some of it whatever it is...please send it my way. I really wish there were more hours in the day as well. I feel like I get nothing done most of the time. It's like time passes quicker and quicker with each year.
I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning too and it stinks. I could get so much more done if I could wake up like 3 hours earlier than I do. Blah....I want too I do. I even have my alarm set to get me out of bed by 6am so I can get my work out on before work. Hasn't happened yet. What is wrong with me? Why can I not get out of bed?

Turning Green...

Happy St. Patrick's Day.... how great is this holiday. You learn about leprechauns and pot's of gold when you're a kid. You don't have to worry about buying gifts for everyone and you get to pinch people if they're not wearing green. Green is such a nice spring color:-)
Now all they need to do is make it a national holiday so that we can have the day off. That would be sweet. It's my favorite holiday anyway why not make it that much better. I know you're thinking why in the heck do you like this of all holiday's is the best? I'll tell you why. First It's the closest to my birthday, second it's kind of obscure. Really not everyone is scrambling for it to make their top 5 list, heck not even their top 10 list. It's just kind of out there really. who made up the whole you get pinched for not wearing green thing? I just love it....Ha ha ha..... Now all I need is a pot of gold.
Maybe they can turn it into a holiday about going green. We could all have the day off so you reduce car emissions and We could encourage people to go outside and do something. We could all turn our lights out early or turn off the water. I think we should do something here at The Utah House. we could have some green demonstrations and we could decorate or something. It would have be so cool. Just thought I'd share a weird tidbit of information about me:-)

Happy Birthday to Me.....

Yesterday was my Birthday....Yeah!!! Birthdays are fun despite what my roommate says about them and how they just get worse... Whatever.... I like my birthday thank you very much. She's going to turn 30 this year and is already freaking out about it. I figure there's no point in being sad about getting older because no one can stop it. It's a natural part of life right? So you might as well look at the bright side of things.
Here are some things I do to stay optomistic, I surround myself with friends and family, I reflect upon the things I'm grateful for, I like to think about all the things I've done in the past year and the growth I've gone through. Sometimes I try and think of all of the things I want to achieve in the next year. Although sometimes that gets a bit overwhelming.
I'm not trying to say that my birthdays are always perfect because they're not. Sometimes I still cry over spilled milk but in the end I'm grateful for another year of life and learning.

Is a dollar in quarters less desirable than paper money...

La La La....I'm short on money and there's not much I can do about it...I'm considering finding a place that I can donate some plasma. That will bring in a few extra dollars and maybe that will help me get some supplies that I need for my business. I really should get that started. I've been planning the beginning for so long now. I was going to work on my business plan all last week. That didn't happen I wonder why that is?
I just have a hard time seeing it begin because I don't know where to get the funds to get it started. Maybe I should start a fundraiser called help Brittnee start her business all it takes is just 1 dollar. Ha ha.... yeah that's like 1 dollar from a million people. That might take awhile, but it could be doable. I don't think I know that many people though. Maybe I should ask for a dollar in quarters? are they less desirable than paper money? Does anyone know?
I just need to hold on...somethings gotta give...right?

I don't have a very good filter....

I'm still here I promise....It's been a few days I just couldn't think of anything to write on Wednesday that was nice. Not after that purge session that I had on Tuesday. Then I started worrying because apparently I don't have a very good filter when I'm sharing things and I don't really consider the ramifications of said unfiltered propaganda. I might just get myself in trouble or outcast. You have to understand though when I write I just get going and it's hard to stop. I don't want to tell you just part of my experience I want to share all of it with you. That's the part though that gets pretty sticky I don't take into account that I have an audience whether it's big or small. I apologize if I have offended anyone thus far and I will try to filter better in the future.

a soap box I have...

Since Sunday I've been wonder what makes me different than other girls. I only say this because I had the opportunity to see some "girls" in action. I think this might be why I don't date much? Let me know what you think. We had dinner right...instead of just eating and keeping their mouths shut they had to bring up weight and how they were trying to cut back. The retarded thing was that all three of these girls are rails. That's right nothing but bone. Grrr...just thinking about it makes me mad. Then after their bird size portion they mention how full they are and how they couldn't eat another bite for fear of exploding. Seriously?!? Just eat the stupid food and run a few extra miles tomorrow. I'm sure if there was a good wind they'd still blow away. I really wonder the mental health of these girls sometimes. Don't get me wrong I still worry about that stuff but, at a guys house in the middle of dinner is the last place I'm going to bring something like that up.I mean maybe I should talk about every single calorie like it's my worst enemy maybe guys like that. What do you think?

what a weekend

I think I need a weekend to make up from this weekend. I didn't stop all weekend it was crazy. Friday I even took a half day off of work to try and make it so it wasn't so crazy. I really had a good time it was just busy. I just didn't have time to catch up on sleep like i wanted to. Friday my roommate Tina and I went shopping and we ended up getting supplies to paint. It was great I haven't painted in a really long time. It' s still a work in progress but when I'm done I'll take a picture and post it for all of you to see my mess lol. We were also putting together a date block for my friend Carlee that's getting married in a few weeks. It was fun and what I think was a fabulous idea I just wouldn't do it that late at night again. I was so tired....It' s harder now that I'm older to go to bed really late and then get up early for work and other things.
The midnight Walmart run... there were some things that we needed to get for Car's gift so we made a Walmart run even though we were exhausted. It all went well other than we wandered from one end of the store to the other just because we weren't thinking clearly. Then came the scary part as we were walking to the car there were two other cars parked right next to Tina's. and they had their music pumping the black mustang had his trunk open. as we approached and the owner of the car finally saw us he slipped the stash in his pocket. I hurried and looked away. I was just thinking "I didn't see anything act natural and they won't shoot us or something." As soon as we got in the car I was like "Tina get in and lets get out of here as fast as we can ." Yes I was a bad citizen. we were so worried about getting away from there and shocked that we had just witnessed a drug deal at the Layton Walmart. You know it happens in your town but it was right there 2 feet from my friends car. The moron in the other car was just continuing his story about how he out smarted the cops and they didn't catch him with his stash. Really I was so dumb founded and I didn't call the Popo what the heck is wrong with me? I vowed however if I ever find myself in that situation again I will call the police. I really felt violated. I want to feel safe in my community. I guess that's what you get with a Walmart though...trash...in every sense of the word. It's a great way to start out the weekend don't you think?
Saturday morning we got up and finally made it to Carlee's shower late because I had no idea my friend Melissa had moved back home. We weren't the last one's though Tara saved us from claiming that title. I love my friend Tina I do. She just marches to the beat of her own drum so I can't ever expect to get anywhere on time with her. We really did think that we'd make it though and we would have if Melissa was still living in her old place. After the Bridal Shower I had just enough time to go home grab some grub and head over to my grandma's for my Sister in laws baby shower.
Yes that's right my brother Ty and his wife will be the proud parents of the first Grandchild/niece in my Family. I'm excited to experience it. I'll be able to be the cool aunt. which is kind of hard to wrap my mind around right now. I'm so baby hunger right now it's not even funny, but that could just be the hormones running rampant through my body right now.
It was really good to see my aunts they're awesome. They try and take care of us and just want to see us happy and that means married. I cried but like I said earlier hormones. It's hard to be single but really right now in my life I really am happy I have an opportunity to go to the Temple at least once a week and feel peace and I have hope that everything else will come as long as I am faithful. I ended up staying at the shower longer than I had planned and then made Tina all upset because we didn't have time to go shopping for a dress for the Black and White ward party we were having that night. I'm sorry I can't do everything. It makes me sad that we can't just extend some days and fit more stuff in. I had about an hour before I had to start thinking about getting ready for the party and that entire time I tried to convince Tina to come and be social with me. She wouldn't though because she didn't have a fancy dress. I told her just to wear a church dress, but heaven forbid she was the only one in church clothes. Which was bunk...by the way... I told her I was wearing church clothes and that there were probably plenty of people wearing church clothes. It just wasn't good enough for her though. I was done talking at that point if she didn't want to come and socialize I wasn't going to make her. I told her however that she couldn't complain to me or around me that she had no social life. She had a perfectly good opportunity to come a be social. It hurts my heart that I can't just wave a magic wand or twitch my nose and help my friends dreams come true. I can't help them very much if they don't try and help themselves.
We had a blast at the party though. It was so fun we ended up dancing and then we were invited to go to a movie with a big group. which I owe meg for. We went and saw the new Alice in Wonderland from Disney. It was really good which I was surprised by because the trailers just make it look like it's going to be a crazy movie that has no rhyme or reason. It was kind of fun going to a movie all dressed up;-)
Sunday was pretty good as Sunday's always are. It was fast and testimony meeting and for some reason I can't stop myself from sharing my testimony. I try to share what I'm feeling at the time so just pieces of my testimony. If I were to share everything It would take all day. I try to keep it simple and short so other people have a chance to share. I shared my thoughts about the Holy Ghost and how special it is to me. I hope it made sense cause I had no idea what I was going to say bah....it could have just been a jumbled mess of word salad for all I know and remember. I could feel it though and I need to learn to speak what I feel. I was invited to dinner at my friend Ira's house after the fireside. The fireside was amazing as they usually are. Meg came with me to dinner and it was a lot of fun. I made bread sticks and cookies and he made frozen lasagna(what a boy thing). there was a good group of people there and it was great to just talk and develop friendships. I said that maybe we'd have them over in a few weeks for dinner kind of make it a tradition.
What a weekend!!!!! it was great just to have an opportunity to have so many wonderful experiences minus the drug deal. Meg said that this was the most fun she had had in like a year and a half. It was the most fun I had had in a long time as well. I'm grateful for all the experiences and friendships that i have gained and I look forward to continuing to develop those friendships. My life is so different then it was even 6 months ago and I'm so grateful for that.

A Blog In Progress

I'm working on getting things put together so that I actually like the layout of my blog. I also think I'm going to change the name. Something New is just kinda...I don't know boring like my blog is right now. I'll get the hang of things eventually and then we'll be in business. Since I don't really know what I'm doing and I'm trying to get the hang of things this is my something new. I might just end up spewing word vomit on this thing but I figure its fine because it's mine and it's kinda fun.
I'd like to give a shout out to my grade school buddy Tyler and wish him a happy birthday. I only remember that it's his birthday because mine is exactly 10 days later. It's funny the things you remember from way back when. I'll be turning 27 in t-minus 10 days woot... woot... :-) wow....how the time flys when your having fun. lol...

Why Blog?

Okay...so the reason I'm starting this blog really is to start something new Hence the title...lol... really I need a place to put and hopefully organize my thoughts and a place to bounce ideas off of other people.
There are a lot of things that I'm ready to do and a lot of things that I want to try, so I thought why not share my crazy attempt at making a newish me with all of you.
