"me and my cousins and you and your cousins. Its a line thats always running"

So guess what guys. Things are finally not complicated with Malcolm! It was a pretty bumpy start on Sunday, but things just worked themselves out as the trip went on. And on Tues. it finally got smoothed completely out. We were talking to Griffin and he was like "Grif, you know I'm Bri's boyfriend?" and I was like "oh, crap" in my head. Then he looked at me and said "I'm a boy and I'm just her friend, huh" And I just was like "yep and I'm your girlfriend, right?" And he all sighed and was like "ya, I guess." And I just laughed and hit his arm and was like "dude I'm in college". And he just laughed back and was like "k, I got it." PS by this time I'm pretty sure Griffin was really confused =). So now we are the cousin/frend relationship that we should be. Which I am really stoked about, cause he is an awesome kid and I have a lot of fun with him. And now I don't have to worry about like accidentally sending the wrong message or anything.

But ya seeing everyone in Cali was really fun. I have pretty much adopted them as my extended family and its fun to have something like that in my life. Seeing as I kinda struck out on that with both my Bishop and Oberg sides. I love feeling like I have cousins.

Provo was really fun. Would have been funner if anyone had been in town, but whatever guess only my parents and Jus love me. But it was really fun and I remembered how much I miss home. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Dirty Little Secret

I have a big confession to make. I am extremely ashamed but, I am... (sigh)... totally... a... a gleek. I love it. I love the songs. I love Sam who is incredibly hot. I love the mellow drama of the gay kid. I love it all. Did I mention I love it? GLEE FOR LIFE! (just don't tell anyone, cuz I will deny it if I have to.)

Over It

I am officially hanging up the whole day of the week thing. I know, I know you are TOTALLY BUMMED about it. Ya, well I decided it was really lame. So we are done with it. And it was getting really annoying to have to wait for a day of the week that fit to it.

K, I was going to do Tiatia Tuesday. Which I think is really fun to say so I wanted to write it. So NAU played Weber on Saturday's game. And guess who the guy that like hikes the ball to the quarter back is on Weber. TYSON TIATIA! It was so random. I looked like really good at the game. It sounds concided and maybe it is a little but I did. Anyway so I yelled down to him and like suprisingly he even remembered my name. Which I didn't think was gonna happen, cause pretty sure last time I talked to him was beginging of junior year or something like that.

Well that was kinda off subject basically no more travilin' tuesday, or sickness saturday or any off that

Miracle Monday

Some Pics of the Birthday Boy

Today is a very big day in my family. Its Brax's 9th birthday. I understand that for most kids their ninth birthday is not a massive deal. I know that sounds rude but seriously turning nine isn't that special. But for Bugs it is a massive accomplishment. Considering he wasn't supposed to live to be 6 months old let alone 9 years. It's amazing to think of everything he has made it through since the moment he was born. Brax has seriously done so much more than anyone said was possible. It truly shows you that anyone can do anything. It is so fitting for his birthday to come the week before Thanksgiving. He shows everyone how much there is to be thankful for in the world. Truly knowing Brax's reminds you to appreciate the small things. I would probably for instance not think twice about the ability to enjoy the taste of food. But when you look at Brax grinning from ear to ear about the lick of a sucker or a mini bit of cotton candy, you realize how lucky you are. I feel like Brax is in every way a blessing. And I know everyday he is still here is a miracle. No one that has ever met Bugs, would think he would be here physically to celebrate this birthday. This is a really really sick day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGS! I will love you for absolutely ever and can't wait to celebrate more of your birthdays.

Stick Shift Sunday

Guess what I can now drive people. A STICK SHIFT!!! It is incredible like I feel like I have joined this amazing club. Just kidding that might be a little bit of an exaggeration... but still i feel kinda cool that I can do that now. So you are probably asking yourself, "Brianne how on earth did you learn to drive stick?" Well it all started Saturday night at about 10:00pm Ivan and I had just adjourned from the movie theater after catching the night's showing of Paranormal Activity 2.

Which I have to say was a little awkward cuz it was like I don't want to get into deep with Ivan cause he works at Siz and if I start to get into it with Bryce (which I do want) I don't want that awkwardness, and then there is the whole Seth situation to take into consideration. Which I have to say I am not feelin' his attitude lately. Like he was all cool and understanding about like the church and me. But now he makes these stupid 'Mormon boy' comments and stuff that make me want to punch him in the balls. Which is not a normal reaction to something he says for me.

Anyway. We were making our way out of the theater when it was brought up that I can't drive a stick. And the next thing I know we were sitting in the empty Micheal's Parking lot and I am behind the wheel of his civic. Honestly there were a couple of times when like I was sure I had totally killed his car. And even more times when we were both like collapsed in laughter at me. But I totally became pro. And side note drifting in a car is soooooo fun. He was like getting his Paul Walker on and seriously doing all this insane stuff. I loved it.

But at the same time I felt kinda horrible cuz like I really just want to be strictly frends and I know he wants to be like a lot better frends then I do. If u catch my drift. And he is like really good looking and a really fun and all that, but its just like I dono I just feel like stuff is happening with Bryce and ya know it would be awkward to like work with them both. Like if it were Brooks or Jake or something I would be way more into it then with Ivan, cause I just think it would be easier then saying "hey Ivan I don't want to hook up with you because I am hooking up with that guy right there so u guys have a good shift." Like I would feel really bad, (I mean hooking up in the Mormon definition of the word btw). I dono I really just want to like see how things go with Bryce right now like I kinda wanna focus on that goal at the moment =). And guys I know I seriously had my last like 3 blogs kinda go to him but like I dono I can't help it. I don't really know how this ended up about him again. But its like this blog has kinda turned into a diary where I like barf out everything I am thinking and try and sort through it. And right now I am thinking a lot about him. Like I have been praying for him and I want everything to be great but I dono. Just like it feels like more serious then a crush. Like He makes me smile for no reason and I know I am probably making a bigger deal of this than it is. Maybe but just I really am so unequipped to deal with guys that I have no idea what I am doing. I just feel lost but I am like loving it. So ya that's what I am dealing with down here. Hope everything is great up home. Love you guys!

PS if u have any ideas or just want to talk to me call me cause I don't have anyone I know well enough to talk about personal stuff like this with SO ONE OF YOU TWO NEED TO CALL ME, PLEASE! Cause I am freaking out with this all just sitting in my brain working its self up.

Soda Pong Saturday

Not sure how to get pics from my phone to computer when I do I will have one of the champions with the pong belt. I kinda hate how sucky I am at tech stuff cuz it would look really good.

K guys, Bryce is seriously becoming my favorite guy ever! I know that is a weird opening sentence to a blog about soda pong, but I just had to have my little gush moment. Cuz he is like amazing a little bit. Ya, did i mention he is like really really great :). I would say find him through my facebook and tell me what you think but for some reason after I added this one girl I can't add or accept friend requests. Its really weird. So once I figure that out you two have to stalk him and tell me what you think, k? Any suggestions on the facebook thing btw, cuz its really annoying. Notice I also used an I in friends cuz facebook friends aren't real frends. Everyone is out to make themselves look good on there, it is not a frend appropriate place Remember that. But ya back to soda pong. I realize it sounds a little dorky to say soda pong, but it is so fun! And I am actually pretty good to which i thought I was going to suck. Me and Bryce's team would have actually made it to the finals if freaking Brooks didn't have all these insane trick shots. Like seriously he is a pong god I am pretty sure. Anyway at least Bryce got redemption cause he had to be on Sasha's team as well because he didn't have a partner cuz Melanie didn't come through for me. haha jk I love u girl. But Bryce and him totally took the title from Brooks in the most epic game ever. Which was good cause I gotta say no one could beat that guy at anything all night form normal ping pong to pool to wheres waldo. Speaking of wheres waldo he actually technically lost art that because our team lost, but me and Bryce got distracted by the puppies at PetsMart and Krystal was pretty much just shopping. So he and Sasha had to carry our team to a 4th place finish. K, that probably doesn't make sense. Where's Waldo is like where u have 5 people dress up and run around a public place and there are teams that are trying to find them. It is a lot of fun. K, hope you guys are loving life and miss you. Promise to start blogging more than once a week.

Spiritual Sunday

K so I was going to blog about this last Sunday when it happened but it didn't work out so its kinda good though because now I have more to add to the story. Any way So everyone knows I've not always been like ya know total church commitment and all that. But I have really been trying to do allot better ya know Any way that really doesn't have allot to do with what I am writing about but I think if you don't know how much better I've been doing it sounds a little weird coming from me.

Bryce is my manager at work and is like one of my favorite people there. He also is a manager at Holister so that probably gives you and idea of what he looks like and stuff. Its not a stereotype if its true. But ya he is just like a really good guy and so fun. Anyway so I rolled into church last week and it was the 5th Sunday so RS and priesthood was comboed and who do I see in their little HCO polo and slicked back hair come and sit in the back of the room all alone. So leave Arleane and them and I go sit back with him and like he has one of those free blue BOM's and is pretty much all the way through it. Farther than I have ever read, that's for sure. So we just like sat through the meeting together and like Idono but I just felt really good. Like I had this total spiritual amazing feeling through the whole meeting. And it was for sure not the lesson because it was on service or something like it was not super amazing. But ya i just really felt good. Anyway so i was praying and doing all that cheesy stuff for him and Saturday I was talking to him just about our plans for next weekend and he just randomly threw up like all these questions. And I usually just totally freeze up and like don't know what to say but I had no problem talking to him and like knew stuff I had no idea I knew about. It was like one of the coolest convos ever. It just has been kinda cool to just like know someone like that cause I never really had have any type of mish stuff like that. I didn't see them today but I went to second ward today so he probably went and I was gone. I am really glad though cause he is such a amazing guy and I really hope he keeps going. Cause I know how awesome the gospel is and I want like everyone to know all the happiness it can bring you. I am really really happy that Bryce is interested in the church.
