Hello family and friends!

I love the Christmas season. just have to get through that silly thing called Thanksgiving first.. haha :) So basically.. i have hole in my fingers from a needle and thread..

Hey friends, sorry i havent posted in 1.2343234 billion years. I had a few minutes and felt like i needed to update. Well, life for me as usual is crazy. I have two weeks of my second semester of college left. Then I will be heading to salt lake for WHITNEY LAMBSONS wedding :) then taking a break off for a week before i start full time at the nursing home... again. School is fun, hard and exhausting. I find myself often wondering if i am doing my best, so i always try a little harder. I am loving the sun in rexburg. The peace that it gives me is overwhelming. I know that i am here on earth for a reason, I came with a broken heart and i survived. I am here for a reason. So i need to do my best. I am grateful for all that i have, I need my Savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father to help me in everything i do, for i am nothing without them. I know that by serving others we will be blessed. I am grateful for all the service that i have had done for me. I love my family. I know that we will be together forever. I know that if we keep moving forward, we will be blessed and happy. I testify that Christ lives, and he loves us. So stay strong and work hard. We have the gospel here on earth today, so we can be happy.. TODAY. :) love you all!

A letter to the world

 Dear world, It may seem tough to be here in this existence that seems frail and rough, Yet the sun will still come up, it may not shine, but it will come up, it will never give up. So, friends, never give up. Be the person you can be, to the fullest extent. Lean a helping hand, we are nothing if we are not charitable. Remember who your true friends are. Remember who to trust in. Be yourself. Love everyone. Be patient, for patience is happiness. The world will give us, the attitude that we give to it. We see what we are looking for. We hear what we want to hear. So Listen, Learn, Love, and never let anyone get you down, because, after all, this is our life. Make a difference.

I love life, i love learning things, learning how to grow and to be better. I dont care what people think, but yet it is what i live by. I hope that people take things from me and learn either what not to do, or what to do. If you know me, it may be what not to do. But hey, at least you learned something. If you know me at all and you take one thing, Let it be the smile that i will ALWAYS give to you. Share it with others, put it in a bottle and spray it on people because it will never run out. Be spirited. Be optimistic. Be outgoing. Some people live to be, but I, be to live. I hope that in the toughest times in life you will take a sparkof what is good and light it. Muster up the courage to move on. Be brave and strong. When you get over the mountain and see another one, Great.. more muscles. :) Love you friends, work hard in life, especially when it works hard on you.

aww nuts!

Pretty much, It has been the most eventful few weeks of my Entire whole life, and going to get more eventful! I am so EXCITED FOR LIFE. I love the time I have to myself, I love the time I have with friends, i .. like going to school. I have acquired a new hobby, BiKe RiDiNg. and i LOVE love love it. Ya know that hill that goes up to the temple starting at the stop light right after the exit in rexburg? The super long curvy one, That is long and uphill then after the curves, Its STRAIGHT UP HILL, Well, i am going to ride my bike up it. You better believe it, baby. I am soo excited. I had this brilliant idea to ride my bike from my apartment to math class in the Ricks, while i was pedaling up the treacherous hills, I was thinking, "NOT the best idea i ever had!" and i couldnt get off and walk because all the boys were watching me so sucked it up and finished the mountain. It was totally worth it when i coasted super fast all the way down the hill to my apartment without pedaling once. :) Hopefully I get super ripped, HA.. :) Anyways, i hope this Bit of Britt filled you in on whats happening in my life. :) peace.

E minor day.

Today is an E minor kind of day. That doesnt make sense, I know. But if you know music, then you know what im talking about. That pretty chord matches the sun and life and love. I discovered that time and luck, are a matter of attitude and perspective. It is a brand new day. So put on a smile, play, work and grow. :)

When the rains come down,

Today has been a RAINY day. I woke up thinking the sun would be out, so to make the best of it, I decided i would stomp in every puddle in my path. Puddle... that got me thinking. A puddle forms when there is a dent, hole or low spot in the ground, and the rain fills it up. Sometimes our lives get puddles. We get dents, holes and low spots, so when the rains come down and try to drown, Stomp in them. :)

Mommy, and Life.

And without her, i wouldnt have my life. My mom is my BEST friend. from red toenails, purple hair, polly pockets, soccer practice, ballet, piano, flute, boys, high school, college, and just partying. She is such a great example to me and i love her so much. She knows exactly how i feel and she always agrees with me. I am so grateful for her and we have so much fun together. She is the best mom and i love her so much! I hope she has a fantastic Mothers Day, along with all the others mothers out there!

Faith in God means faith in his timing

Well friends, update on the crazy life of Brittanee time! YAY, this is my favorite time... really. I love this picture because i decided to wear bright colors in all the gloomyness of the Burgs crappy weather, At least i was the brightest thing on campus. This past week has been eventful. Isnt it crazy how things all add up at once. I was sitting in my world foundations class and i thought about campus and about how it is a mountain.. kind of like school.. we are climbing and climbing and tryin to get to the top. Sometimes it feels impossible. When things dont go right.. go left.

I think this picture is appropriate. :) Well another semester of school has started and i love my roommates. i love the sun. i am learning to love learning. WEIRD. I have had many experiences this week where my testimony has been strengthened and i would feel ungrateful if i didnt share it with someone. I dont know who will read this, but at least i put it out. I lost my great grandpa this week and i love him so much. He is such a great guy. I know that i will see him again.  I know that Families are Forever. I know Christ lives and that he loves us. I am so grateful for my friends and for my family. I have a testimony of the power of prayer. I know that God is there and he listens to us. I know that through the atonement we can be perfected. We cant save ourselves and that is why Christ suffered for us. He knows what we are going through. I have a best friend leaving on a mission in a few days, and I want him to know that i am so grateful for him. That people out there are going to feel his spirit and his enthusiasm about the gospel and come unto Christ, he helped me be closer to the Savior and i am forever grateful for him. He will be a fantastic missionary He is a great example of Christ. I am so grateful that he is worthy to hold to the priesthood because he gave me a blessing when i needed one. He teaches me so much. He is my best friend. I know that Heavenly Father loves us and has a plan for us. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, Amen.

This video is so cute! i hope you will watch it and realize that when times get rough all we need is a little motivation!

Melt the icicles

I look out the window and what do i see?? icicles that are bigger than me!!  .. Schoolin in Rexburg, Idaho is such a blast. :) Not easy but, for sure worth it. I have already learned so much. I miss my family. Everything has changed. You actually can get sick of hot pockets, which forces you to learn how to cook. You will not freeze to death, it just gets colder and colder so saying that you will wont change anything. Life was easier when boys still had cooties and your biggest problem was when they stole your crayon. Oh by the way, in Idaho, its CRAY ON not Cran... (:  Life at school is kind of like that large frozen icicle next to me. It gets longer and colder it feels like. But the faster you run the warmer your hands are and you can melt it from the center and bust in into pieces. :) I have learned, take life in pieces, a good friend once told me, "You can't always get everything done, but you do what you can, take life a little at a time and do better tomorrow. The sun will always come up." :) Alrighty sun, I am waiting. Melt the icicles.

LUCK

Do you believe in Luck??? what the heck is it anyways..i looked up the definition. not because i am ignorant of the actual meaning but because i wanted it deeper. happen to you ever?

1. the seemingly chance happening of events that affect someone; fortune; fate

i like that, i love the "seemingly chance happening" part. I need all the luck i can get. funny story is.. i was watching a movie called Leapyear.. irish traditions... it was funny and eating lucky charms at the same time so today i was feelin pretty lucky. idk what came of that but i was lucky :) School is crazy. English is crazy, but i love it! i love the challenge i miss my flute. i am not in band and instead in a basic writing class and i have an essay due.. what is my topic you might ask... Flute. SURPRISE! anyways i thought it was funny that i took a picture of my lucky charms so i decided to post it on here for the whole world to see. the only luck i got today came in the form of imaginational marshmallows and cereal bites that no one actually knows the shape. idk whats up with that but it sure tasted good!

Crafts :)

Got bored, so i decided i would make a craft. i found these letters at Abbotts then i traced them on scrapbook paper then cut em out and glued em on! the little stickers were a nice touch! Then i decided i wanted to decorate my tablets for school :) it was fun! :) So about my flute class.... i got cut. weird i know. i was a freshman and there were too many flutes. Thats okay i am obviously supposed to be somewhere else. so i picked up a basic writing class and i am super excited for it! i am thinking about maybe adding some of my writings on here so you guys can read them too and help me out.. good idea or no??? not that im any good or anything but i do enjoy writing. get back to me and if am convinced, i will add something i wrote from my Writing and Reasoning class. :) it was just a thought haha but i love writing and my mom likes what i write so that gave me some self esteem!

life as a college student,

SOOOO i am now a college student! YAY!!!! i thought coming here meant i had lots of parties and fun and sleep. turns out.. i get to walk for about an hour a day. sleep about.. 6 or 7 hours.. and i spent 6 hours on one class yesterday. i was mistaken. haha but its so fun! i have Ty here with me and its a blast! i need to learn how to cook. but the good news.. i have vacuumed, twice :) today i have English at 1245 so im sitting in my room on my bed that i had to jump on.. blogging. :) then i have Band.. idk how i feel about it its not the same. im keepin my hopes though because i love music and i love playing my flute. the big question is.. should i do University Band, or Flute Choir??? i will decided today, as i sit in the THIRD row.. not the first.. haha oh WHELL kick in the pride but maybe i needed it. The Lord sure does have a way to humble people. but so far college is fun and hard! and i love it. i miss my family. and i miss being able to stay up late texting. and i REALLY miss mom saying there are leftovers in the fridge, all i have in the fridge is milk and orange juice. haha anyways! thats how my college experience is going. :) Have a nice day!

Time

Its the start of a brand new year. The start of more time. Time is a measurement. For some its good, for others its not. It could mean with every tick on the clock your getting more wrinkles. It could mean with every tick your getting closer to having a brand new baby. Time is a blessing, a gift givin to us to experience life. A chance to grow. A chance to learn. a chance to love. It all depends on how you look at it. So how do you see time? Is it running out on you, with empty yesterdays. Or are you running in on it with prosperous todays.This past year has been good to me. Im ready to stop worrying about the time i dont have. What im late for. and the stuff i havent done. Im going to think of all the time i do have, When i am on time and Everything i have already done. This year is going to have ups.. and downs.. But i am going to take the downs and let them mold me, so i can better see the ups. Happy New Year :)
