HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITTNEY


Yesterday was my 26 B-Day. My adorable husband Toddley sent me some beautiful birthday flowers. He told a fib and told me that I had to be home from 8 am to noon for the Quest guy to come to hook up our Internet. At 8:45am my doorbell rings and its the Flower Patch delivery guy with these gorgeous flowers! There was no Quest guy coming.. he just needed a way for me to be home. What a guy!

Thanksgiving


I just wanted to let everyone know how thankful I am this Thanksgiving. I have been so blessed the last year and I am sohappy. I am thankful that my families have been so great to Todd and I. With all the wedding stress and things, I feel that we are closer having gone through it. I am thankful to inherit a new family, The Ellisons. The are so loving and welcoming I am truly blessed to have them in my life. And finally I am most thankful for my darling husband Todd. He has been so good to me and I truly don't know where or who I would be with out him. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

O Christmas Tree


On November first, Todd and I went shopping to the Target. In the dollar section we found some Christmas stuff and in it we found this little pot labeled "grow your own Christmas tree." As an impulse buyer, I had to have it. here we are 25 days later and our little tree is starting to grow! It first started showing on Saturday.. and its just been getting bigger by the day. Sydnee saw it and said "OHHHH how cute" She would be amazed in how much its grown since then. Hopefully I won't kill it, I do not have the "green thumb." So maybe we can really get a Christmas tree out of it.. I'm thinking Christmas 2055 ha ha :)

24 Things You Wouldn't Know Without The Movies:

24. It's easy for anyone to land a plane, providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

23. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.

22. During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

21. All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.

20. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.

19. If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition.

18. When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

17. Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen at night, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead.

16. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at that precise moment.

15. A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of Wembley Stadium.

14. Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.

13. It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.

12. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.

11. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

10. Police Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

9. An electric fence powerful enough to kill a dinosaur will cause no lasting damage to an eight-year-old child.

8. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

7. It is not necessary to say hello or goodbye when beginning or ending phone conversations.

6. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.

5. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.

4. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

3. You're very likely to survive any battle in any war - unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

2. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

1. If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade -- at any time of the year.

Flat tire in the snow!





So yesterday on my way to work I got a flat tire. However I tried to ignore that something was wrong, blaming the snow, and tried to get to work then figure it out. Big mistake. I ended up pulling over about 200 yards away from the 711 on Bangerter highway, almost to Contacts.. and got out to see this mess of a tire. Not only was it flat, but there is a big tear all around the edge of it. There was about a 1/2" screw that was the culprit! Note to self, if your low air pressure light goes off.. pull over now and check the tire.. don't try to wait it out! I called my brother Brandon, he couldn't leave work right then and asked if I had anyone else to come help me. I called my friend Nate and he was on his way. While waiting I decided to get everything ready. I pulled the tire and the lug nut wrench thing out and noticed that I don't even have a flipping jack! I'm totally pissed at my car dealer! As I was sitting in my car waiting a very nice guy pulled over to help me. He got the job done with his jack that he found in his truck. He was super nice and a trooper for getting on the ground in the snow to help me. Finally Nate and my manager Dan show up as the guy was tightening my lug nuts.I am grateful to have good friends to come and help. And just as I thought that no stranger would pull over, God knows I wouldn't, this nice guy did. Thanks everyone who helped me!

Dunes Trip






So Yesterday Brandon and Melissa invited us to go 4 Wheeling at the Sand Dunes. Todd and I were all over it since we haven't been since July 4th weekend! So we got all packed up and thought the weather was on our side. We even saw blue skys! We got there and had a great time riding until... The Biggest Wettest hail hit us about 2 miles away from our truck! It was horrible and hurt like a mother! Me and Mel were crying and screaming the whole way back to the truck. We finally made it after being pelted for about 15 minutes. Seriously it hurt so bad. you ever been slapped after someone has licked their hand? We called it a Turkey Slap growing up. But that's what it felt like with wet jeans on. I have polka dot like welts on my leg from it! My clothes were so soaked I ended up stripping down to my t-shirt and undies and belting a blanket around me for the ride home. Melissa was able to wear Brandon's cover alls and Brandon had a change of clothes(lucky!). Poor Todd had to go the whole 2+ hours soaking wet as he had nothing to change into. We were completely surrounded by water back at the truck and Brandon and Todd had the privilege of loading up the bikes in the sand mud. Good times! We did have fun though and it was nice to stretch the old Honda's legs.. er.. I mean tires haha ;)
