Those Nights

Where it's okay to sit around in a circle for hours and make fun of each other for nothing.
That's what keeps college kids sane.

    -We've both hiked it. But not together. Haha

One quote that has always stuck with me through my life is

Gordon B. Hinckley

It has been on my fridge for as long as I can remember and has become a motto of sorts for my family. We struggled as I grew up, but our little family of three – my mom, my brother, and me – held strong in the knowledge that we no matter what happened we would be together.
Being here at BYU has brought its challenges; some I thought I would never encounter in my life. It has been one of the biggest trials and blessings in my life. In my Book of Mormon class a few weeks ago, we studied 2 Nephi 5. Brother Merrill emphasized how every element of happiness is described in this chapter: work, the temple, the scriptures, the commandments, etc. As the weather changes, bringing longer nights and cold weather, attitudes change. It is important to focus on the good things that are happening in our lives instead of letting the bad aspects affect us.
In our lives as students specifically, we need to understand that trying our hardest is a positive things. And as long as we know that we have gained a knowledge, our test scores should not affect our well-being. Also, being away from home can leave us longing for that which we left at home: our friends, our family, our communities. But Provo is our new home and we need to build it up even here and take it on as our home and look for the good around us instead of wishing we had the past back.
The most important thing for us to focus our efforts on is the Gospel, and everything else will fall into place.

Roommate Moments #6

Me: If I write "Holla atcha boy," will you know what that means?"
H: Yeah, it means print out that thing for you.

Me (On the mirror): Oh girl, thank you girl for turning off the lights/cleaning. #roommateoftheyear
H: Oh, no prob! Hope I wasn't too loud! And thank you! #winnng
Me: No way. #we'rethefreakingcutest.
H: People should be je. I would be.

Me: I mean, he's got dark hair and blue eyes, just like Prince Eric. We're obviously meant to be.

I Have These Really Awesome People in My Life Like.... {Four}

 

Kenzi

Kenz and I met at EFY the summer of 2011. We were neighbors. And got in trouble. But that's a different story.

Next, we came to BYU together. And ended up on the same floor, in the same hall. Out of all the on-campus housing! It really was pretty awesome. Especially because we knew someone this way.

Now we're busy making memories. 

And lots of friends. And she's the best. Even if she thinks I hate her. Or whatever.

So I'm Sitting on the Couch

Amber: "I've decided you're the most boring person when you first wake up and right before you go to bed. Just thought I'd inform you."

Dear Amber,
So is every normal person. But then again you have to put your face on right when you wake up. The end.
Love,
Brittani

I Hiked the Y

And now I'm dying. Seriously. It's not far at all. I mean I walk all over campus everyday. But that hill is terrible! Just goes to show how out of shape I am. I'm working on it. Starting... NOW.

PS: Pictures to come!

Genetic Blog {Three}

Anyone who has gotten to know me knows my love for Disney movies, the Disney name, the company - anything Disney makes me light up like a kid at Christmas time. Recently, I have had the opportunity to apply for an internship with Disney. I can't think of any other way I'd want to spend my summer now that I know about this amazing experience. Disney is every little girl's dream! Walking into the park and feeling like a princess is something she'll never forget. Each time I go I have new memories, and they're always the best. 

My seminary teacher once told me that she equated the Celestial Kingdom to Disneyland. It takes sometime and effort to get there as well as a whole lot of planning, but the best experiences result from it. We get out of this life what we put in. The more I think about it, the more I realize how great of an analogy this is for the Plan of Salvation.

We are here on this earth to work toward returning to our ultimate goal. If we prepare accordingly by recognizing our worth as children of God (princesses and princes of a Heavenly King) we will get to return to our Heavenly Father and he will even have a mansion for us there (much like a princess castle!) I'm pretty sure that the Celestial Kingdom will be spotless like Disneyland is, too. Eternal life truly is the greatest "Happily Ever After."
