P.S.
Does anyone know how to make my blog look cute, and add pictures in the middle of things. I can do GRAND things with pictures.
Life Update
Married 8.5 months. Slaughtered all farm animals besides the chickens. Finished yet ANOTHER semester of school. Only 3 more to go. Changed Danny's major. Now business. House ALMOST organized. Trying to get things ready for the new semester. Misses home. Needs a SD, CA vaca! Cousin getting married=me bridesmaid. Let's hope the bm dress isn't too ugly....hahahaha luv ya Hil! Talked to Nate. Nine months left! he says I can't get preggo till he is home. He needs to know the kid his whole life. I can agree to that. I get an SF, CA vaca in April....hopefully D will agree. Working. Loves to stalk people's life. Christmas was good. Missed my fam. Christmas just wasn't Christmas this year. Better luck next time! Wants Panda, Five Guys, Texas, and Olive Garden. Date night perhaps? Should check on B.P.'s fish again. Hope they haven't died this past week. I probably should never pet sit fish again. I just don't see the point of them being pets. Misses hubs. Loves watching Band of Brothers with hubs every night. My Dad would enjoy it. Birthday gift for him? Misses A.A and D.S. and K.F. Have been having WEIRD dreams about K.F. Can't wait to write her and tell her. She'll think I'm crazy. Excited to go to a new ward. I want a good calling. Like Primary or YW. Overall, life is MARVELOUS! I have a loving husband who I can talk to about ANYTHING. He is a great help and loves me. I am sooo grateful for him and my loving family! I love the Lord and am grateful to be in His gospel.
More Random Thoughts From Work
1. Red heads and Aerial? Seriously? Every girl who has red hair, or is on the orange/red shade thinks that her favorite person in their world is Aerial. She is their Disney Princess. Hello!!! There are countless other famous red heads! Find one and choose them! Forget Aerial. Kelsey Farmer, if you read this in the future you are excluded. I have always thought Aerial is YOUR princess. Maybe that's why I hate everyone else claiming her.
2. I hate going to the bathroom in public. When I was a little kid, I would be at one of two friends houses. They both have memories of me running home, going to the bathroom, and then coming back when I was done. I don't know. There is just something about going to the bathroom where EVERYONE else goes that just seems unsanitary. They hear you pee, can smell when you poop. Not cool. I would rather, in deed I do, hold my bowels for HOURS sometimes days before I go. I have come to terms with peeing in public. That, I cannot hold as long.
3. There are girls who can wear and WALK in high heels, and there are the girls who can't. I LOVE watching those girls. They try so hard. They want to look good, they want to be "girly", however, may I suggest MUCH practice behind closed doors, or flats. These girls wobble, and walk way hunched forward. It is just not a pleasant sight. Flats. Flats are you only choice.
4. The other day, (a week or more ago) I was talking to my dad. There is someone who we know, who got married just over a year ago, and had a baby right around their 1 year anniversary. My dad made the comment, "Can you believe Peter had a baby!!!!??? They haven't been married that long!!!!" To which I responded, " Dad, they waited 1 month more than you and Mom did! Talk about not waiting long!" His only response, "well that doesn't matter. I'm just glad you're not pregnant." hahahahah thanks Dad. Danny and I are glad too! :)
5. If you know me really well, you know I LOVE, ADORE, PRAISE, EAT UP, CAN SPEND DAYS with kids, babies, anyone 5+ years younger than me and be completely in Heaven. I have babysat/nannied since I was 12. I just love babies, toddlers, kids, all of it! However, I am pretty sure those who know me as "married Brittney" would not guess that AT ALL. I do not offer to hold others babies. I do not want to touch them. A girl I visit teach has a like 5/6 mo baby. I always make comments about how I HATE spit up, (I do I won't deny it), among other things. Mainly, I am just not ready to be a Mom yet. The 3 of us always joke about me. I just don't think my motherly instincts have kicked in yet. Must mean it isn't time for me to be one. However, COME ON, COME ALL, I'll charge $9 an hour and watch all your little ones! (They go home at the end of the day)
6. Have you noticed ALL the different people getting divorced. I don't know reasons, but WOW it is crazy.
7. I am sitting here (at work) watching an Asian guy (not sure why I had to say his ethnicity) belly laugh while he is on the computer. Like whole body moving because he is laughing. Man, I guess I just learned how look to others when I am sitting here watching movies and laughing and heart out. Opps. Don't judge.
8. I LIVE for the events of other peoples' lives, good or bad. I love listening to problems and helping them find solutions. I love giving advise. I love being "in the know" with all the happenings. Does that mean I love gossip? Whelp probably, but hey, at least I am not spreading it, and I try to help solve it. I just like OTHER PEOPLES drama!
9. Those wheely shoes? Are they really necessary? I submit, they are not.
10. Is sooooooo ready for Spring. I want more pigs and cows to love on and pet and feed!
11. Wishes I was as cool as the Kesler Family. I want to do fun and crazy things. I want to have adventures with my husband. I WANT TO DO THINGS, TRAVEL, HAVE FUN!!!! But alas, we are lame. Someone please teach us how to have fun!!!!!
12. Lastly, we are dog sitting. I do not, and WILL NOT have a dog of my own until we have a larger home, and a fenced in back yard.

Gum...you are my arch enemy
Have you ever wondered what life would be like with children?
I don't have to wonder, we have the same mishaps, mess-ups, and mayhem, with just the two of us as we would with children. Chicken hunting, cow, chasing, hog slaughtering, house keeping, school work, redoing a bathroom, and yes even laundry. Chicken hunting takes time patience, and a keen eye. Cow chasing takes brains, agility, and the ability to know where the cow is going before they move, hog slaughtering just hurts because they are your children, house keeping of two students, employees, and fun people, impossible. School work=too busy, you help me with this, I'll help you with that. Bathroom? Well that is self-explanatory. And laundry. I do not mind doing laundry. Even when Danny and I were dating I did his laundry. Thats the first time it happened. I opened the dryer, a strong scent of speariment whaffed through the house. "DAAAAANNNYYYYY" Gum! All over your clothes! You got to empty your pockets. Married life hits. And this past month I have had to goo gone gum out of the dryer twice. Danny always says, Sometimes I forget to empty them out. So you need to double check. Well He was being nice and put a load of laundry in. I go to take it from the washer to dryer and when I open the washer, what do I smell??!?!??! SPEARMENT! Ohhh did I scream! I made Danny come in, and tell me what was wrong with this picture. GUM EVERYWHERE! He says, why didn't you check my pockets, and I lovingly retort, YOU PUT THIS LOAD IN!!!!! Well endless teasing occured. But a lesson learned? Probably not. Why have kids, I have a husband.

Random Thoughts
So while I sit at work am allowed to do nothing, I have tons of random thoughts. Here are a few:
1. What is the deal with automatic flushing toilets? I have love hate relationship with them. I love the fact that you never have to touch some gross, grimy, handle to make everything disappear, however, have you ever felt like those automatic toilets are limiting the time they want you in stall? I don't know about you, but the second I stand up "woosh" down everything goes, and I haven't even finished pulling up, tucking in, zip, button, and pull down. Then I feel silly because I walk out five minutes after it's flushed and I know people are just thinking, "wow what else did you do in there?" So automatic flushing toilets, can please not rush me everytime I use you?
2. Handicapped doors vs. Lazy people. Oh my word! Have you ever realized how slowly those doors open? Well I have. And lazy people who do not even NEED to use them decide they are perfect for them. They push the button, wait thirty seconds, can barely slip in between the doors at this rate and then do it again with the second door. Do they realize with all that waiting and maneuvering, they could have meandered up to the third floor of the Library and back down again? Silly people, those doors aren't for you. Stop being lazy.
3. So because of the long hours Danny and I are on campus, and while it was still warm outside, I put blankets and pillows in the back of my car so that after my classes, I could take a comfortable nap. I would cuddle up, do some homework, then fall asleep. It was the perfect arrangement. Here is what I loved most about it. Again, the lazy people who are trying to find a close parking spot to the building. They see that I am opening up the back door, putting my stuff in, taking off my shoes, and making my make shift day bed. The second they spot me walking out the building doors with keys in hand, the blinker goes on, and they stalk me to my car. Watching my ritual they sit and wait. The door closes, I pull out the homework I desire to work on, the car is still waiting. I start working on it. I text my friend to tell her how ridiculous this car is, and finally after they start inching forward not wanting to get too close in case I am going to be backing up with no engine, or backup lights they try to assess the situation. Finally, after waiting for a good 5-10 minutes (depending on how lazy they are really are) zoom away in hopes of another close parking spot. Sorry buddy. Because you sat there for 10 minutes, you missed all the other 30 spots that had opened up. Ever heard of exercise?
4. Married friends who think that just because they are wanting to get pregnant, that I do to. You know who you are... B.P. What's up with that?
5. Registration. Seriously? You think they would have it figured out by now to make it work correctly.

SURPRISE!
Danny has Wednesdays off....therefore creating Tuesday night and Wednesday as "our weekend". I have been bugging Danny to "do something fun with me". And he did! He took Thursday off. Wednesday morning we woke up bright and early to go Huckleberry picking with his parents. We tried going where our renter told us they were really good, however we got lost and didn't go to the right spot. We kept driving around and just as 3/4 of us had given up hope, WE FOUND SOME! It was a blast! On the way home Dale had us stop at BIG JUDD'S! SOOOO DELICIOUS!
Danny and I get back to our house and he tells me to pack an over night bag that we are going to go do something in Pocatello and maybe spend the night there....so I do. We leave and arrive at The Black Swan Inn Themed Suites. What a surprise! Danny had reserved Pirates Sea Boat as our room. SO FUN! We fell in love with the two-person jetted tub! We went to dinner and slept in. Danny called it "our little honeymoon" since we didn't really get alone time after our wedding and before we started school. He is such a stud! I just love him!
Another surprise? Yep. Danny woke up Friday morning not feeling well....JOY! So he goes to work and suffers through the day since our friend's girlfriend came up yesterday. I go pick him up because he doesn't want to ride his motorcycle in the rain, not feeling good. We climbs into bed, I drug him and push liquids down him. I was excited because I was going to be asleep before 10pm!!!! How wrong I was. As I am drifting into sleep, (GROSS WARNING) Danny starts to vomit in his bowl. So I get him a warm rag to wash his face with, and I clean out the bowl so he can have it when he needs it again. He feels way better. We try going to sleep. Finally around 3 or 3:30 neither of us can sleep very well, both our backs hurt and we are both to toss and turny. So naturally, I move to the ground. (if you have ever lived with me, this is not an uncommon occurrence. I sleep WAY better on the floor when I hurt, don't feel good, or can't sleep.) What do you know...? I slept five hours straight. Far cry from my normal 9, but it's Saturday. Saturday is a special day. The day to get ready for Sunday, and boy do I have A LOT to do!

About Time
It has been awhile since I last blogged, but I have been wanting to get this new blog started. I'll do a quick recap of our lives since I last posted, as to not bore those of you reading.
I married my best friend, Danny, on April 16, 2010 in the Denver Temple. It was wonderful! One of the happiest, busiest, more tiring days of my life, but I would not change it for the world. I LOVE being married to Danny. He is the most wonderful husband I could have asked for. He works hard, studies hard, helps me around the house, takes care of the animals, helps around his parents house, AND still has time to play with our friends. What a wonderful guy!
We have 4 pigs, Spot, who is 450 lbs and pregnant, and then 3 young pigs, Rambo, Slash, and Escapay. We have chickens and turkeys, and cows. It is fun, different, and quite a change from what I was used to.
We got married and four days later I started school with 17 upper division credits, Danny went back to work and was taking 6 credits. Our lives were busy, hectic, stressful, fun, and unexpected. But what more could you ask for?
School finished, and I went home for a week leaving Danny behind to keep the fort down and work. Man was that hard, however so fun to spend time with family and see friends.
