brynne's birthday is not on "frei"day but on this day!!@$%

it is brynnie's big day! 2-4! 

in honor of the birthday girl i thought it would be appropriate to look back on the years of our friendship and see all the nice things this birthday girl and i have done together. 

(keep in mind even though this will be long, it doesn't even do our friendship justice)

ahem.

and in no particular order..

loved the (plural) brian regan concerts

vespa-ing

we've been to so many lacrosse games!

(okay like four)

matching korean phone charms!

so much 05 pride

hit efy so hard

sister missionaries 

(jk i wish)

spent a few valentines days

(or maybe just one?)

 learned how to be adults when her parents left for three years and buy real groceries

(i wish it was more than just one) free slurpee day!

played in the snow

go on dates with ourselves when boyfriends don't actually come back from lake powell like they said they would

kept me company after wisdom teeth were pulled

free institute lunches and so much uv volunteering!

 creeped

attended farewells

uvu students grads

color fest-ed

thrilled to finally ride the uv elevator

wondered if we would ever get married

(luckily we no longer have to wonder for ms. b)

she was there every step of my mission fest

jumped in st. george at the kite festival!

???

turned 16..i mean 21

secrets

creeped some more

did NOT buy beer

so much vespa

we said goodbye 

(korea)

4 months later we reunited

we said goodbye again

(for taiwan)

18 months later we reunited..again

b was so nice and tried teaching me how to not dress like a sister missionary

so many car rides

attending family activities

being in the past and the future

thursday wilk dates

exercising one time

tending babies

so many dance parties

graduating

photo shoots

and then..

we said goodbye again.

but a different kind.

and tanner still lets us be friends sometimes so it isn't as sad as the other two

(and if someone is going to steal her away i'm glad it is tan)

i feel like i could just keep going and going but i just realized i've been at this for maybe 2 hours.

so b.

what i'm trying to say is

..please have a nice birthday okay?

i love you lots. 

you are, and will always be, my best geef.

happy. happy. birthday.

"things i never blogged about"

 that is the title of a folder i just found on my desktop so i decided to blog these things i intended to blog about but never did.
(even though they were probably like two months ago)

ryan and i went to some ski competition at deer valley resort that was pretty sweet 

and we both wore our parents boots which made us look awesome and kept us super warm!

so grateful for these guys

everyone loved trying to get back down the hill

my favorite moment of this picture was the guy standing on the side. 

he was so happy about it that he felt compelled to give me a high five as we got down.

asia new year's celebrations with the burtons!

sooooo delicious

 i love everything about this photo. you might want to click on it and make it bigger.

i guess me trying to be domestic and almost burning our kitchen down seemed like a good thing to blog about.

we like to match when we go to roommate breakfast at magleby's

(and by that i mean i saw that they were wearing sweats so i went and put some on)

how about this minion my sister kim made for her son's valentine box! 

i think she did a great job.

and we all got valentine goodies! from sweet nicole. 

..i guess those are the things i wanted to blog about in february. 

not random at all!

maybe if i look hard i will find a folder about things to blog about in march and then eventually we can get to april festivities. 

we'll see.

lately i struggle blogging.

i keep wanting to but then i remember i graduate next week and i just have lots and lots of things to do. 

but please know that i've thought about it, and that is what counts right?

..busy doing things like this chinese essay i turned in yesterday about the differences and similarities 

of chinese and western medicine. is it weird to you that those pictures are really a language? 
it still blows my mind.

I finish with everything on monday so maybe i will do a real blog then? 

if not, you can rest assured that i will at least think about it.
