Hippie..me??

I think my sister may have said it best when she said, "Brittany you are such a hippie!!"

Today I ventured out and made homemade granola cereal. The way that Todd and I eat granola is border line ridiculous, so I thought why spend the money. I had all the ingredients at home except for the nuts. So after a quick trip to Good Earth, I was off.

It didn't take very long and made the house smell delicious. One batch has craisins and the other has a berry melody. Yumm...we will have to let you know how it tastes.

Ladies you need this..

I am not a makeup-frilly-girlie-girl, but ladies you need this. While on vacation in NC, way back, my lovely and young aunt Amy bought me this to try. I am not a makeup enthusiast like she is, so I didn't fully understand her excitement, but now I do.

Loreal's Double Extend Mascara is awesome!! It extends the lashes like nobody's business and stays on forever!! I have received three, count them three, compliments on my lashes in two weeks. Ladies try this mascara and see what you think. Thanks Amy!!

New Goals

The last couple of times I have set goals and tried to accomplish them it hasn't really worked out for me, but this time it will hopefully be different. With Satan working over time on us these days, I have found that it is requiring more from us to stand against him. And while having the spirit with me is important, I also need to be smarter than he is. I need to have book smart on my side too. He is super crafty and hides in places I never imagined. I was reading a talk yesterday, "The Great Imitator" by James E Faust, and he was saying Satan can use the scriptures to entice and persuade.

Enter my new goal..

Every month I am going to take one gospel topic and study everything I can find on that topic. Hopefully this will help me have more knowledge to give, but also help me when Satan tries to get in. I need to know more and have the scriptures and brethren behind me, and be able to use against him.

So the topic for the remainder of this month and next month- The Creation and Plan of Salvation. I will keep you posted on anything super interesting and fun I run across.

Happy Bday!!

My Todd turned the big 30 this week!! I would write the 30 things I love most about him, but lets be honest...nobody but me and Todd want to hear that. So instead I am posting a pic of one his presents. Our neighbors are always wearing these overalls, and Todd thinks they are hysterical. So they got together and bought him some for his birthday! So stinkin cute...Love you Todd, hope you had a great birthday!

Home sweet home..

Here is my favorite pic from our family photo shoot with Sarah!! I think I might have the cutest family ever!! Love you guys!!

**I realized some might not know my family and their names, so sorry I will list names and ages from left to right. Dad, Mom, Todd (almost 30), Me (23), Maegan (20), Jeff (19), Dallin (12)**

Romania here he comes..

Today was kind of an emotional day. I had the privilege of dropping Jeff off at the MTC, and I almost lost it. He is such a great guy and will make an awesome missionary, however that doesn't change the fact that I will miss him. The new "drop off" policy stunk, so we didn't get much time to say our goodbyes, take pictures, and we had to cry in front of everyone, but at least he is there. No more thinking about it, he is there and serving!

So here's to you Elder Suppes, you will be great and we cant wait to hear about all of your success. Love you

I think Im getting old...

For my birthday I know what I want. I would like new beds sheets and pillows.

Does this mean my young fun days are gone? I just sound way too responsible and boring.
