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.
