Evolution of Me

No this titles doesn't represent some in depth soul searching, life changing, evolution of how I came to be where I am today - it simply illustrates the following picture.

The actual evolution of me. :) Let's take a look back and illustrate some of these funnies shall we?

{Baby Britt} - I practically look the exact same now!
{Toddler} - Photos from this shoot were used for Kiddie Candids marketing. Gotta love the jean!
{Kindergarten} - If you look closely, you can see on my upper right cheek/eye there is a dark red scratch from my lovely sister from the day before. I was so sad that I had to get my pictures taken with a scratch on my face. :(
{1st Grade} - No words. Total cutie.
{2nd Grade} - Okay awkward smarty pants here! Also still diggin the jean shirt. And the buttoned collar. Nice work mom!
{3rd Grade} - Cheesin' it up! I had to get retakes this year because in my first picture I wasn't exactly smiling. You know how they always tell you to say a silly word like "BOYS!"? Well I said it. And they took the picture before I finished. Hence the super smile for the retakes. :)
{4th Grade} - Reppin' the Old Navy tech vest baby! I also wore my hair up because all my friends and boys I liked told me that I looked really pretty with my hair up in a cheerleader ponytail with curls. haha
{5th Grade} - I love my crimped hair, Harry Potter glasses, pooka shell necklace, and my favorite Union Bay shirt. :) Very content with myself at this age. haha
{6th Grade} - AWKWARD! haha Thank you puberty for making me feel and look so awkward.
{7th Grade} - Puberty continued. ha This picture is super funny though because after I got it taken everyone told me how beautiful it was and they loved my hair, shirt and necklace. Guess I was stylin' back then? One thing they forgot to tell me was how much they loved my eyebrows though.... ;)
{8th Grade} - Fixed the eyebrow situation. Thank you wax and tweezers. Grew out of puberty. Luckily. 8th grade was a solid pic.
{9th Grade} - One of my better school pictures minus the Satan horns (AKA poof balls on each side of my head).
{10th Grade} - Goodness gracious this picture makes me sad. I decided to get retakes because I thought I didn't like my first pic. Little did I know, I was going to get in a car accident during a rain storm the morning of retakes. Hence the awful hair and shiny sweat all over my face. I was a lil stressed. haha
{11th Grade} - I loved this picture! Too bad I ended up looking like two feet too far to the left. haha

And then I didn't have my senior picture on hand, but oh well. :) I pretty much look the same then as I do now.

Pretty fun huh? At least I think so! Go get your school pictures out! What are the funny memories you have of those days? I think it's amazing that I can remember so much about each and every year! Love the memories.

Until next time,
peace yo.

Awesome & Awkward

 This Awesome && Awkward sesh is brought to you by yours truly on a Friday night while I'm all curled up in a hoodie, sweat pants and my turquoise robe.

 

 See there I am. Hello errrbody.

Awesome && Awkward features events from the past week that are just that....awesome and awkward.  Here we go!

Awesome:

• Feeling inspired to really actually maybe be a teacher one day after I went to my classroom management class on Monday. Who knew that a little classroom music swap could get me so excited?!

• Roommate bonding. This night included "I'll race to to see who can take a shower the fastest!!" (Winner...me.), blankets galore, and Time Traveler's Wife. And yes I fell asleep within the first 10 minutes. Typical.

• Turning 21 means a new driver's license finally!!! And give me a hoo-rah for a zit free picture! Check out that comparison...definitely time to get a new picture. :) Oh also do you like my white out skills? haha I didn't want you all to stalk me in real life k?

•  My gold sparkly nails are a total hit. I love 'em. 

•  On Wednesday (my awesomebeautifulwonderfulamazing day off) I stayed cozy inside my apartment in my sweats with lots of yummy candles lit! Ahhhhh. My favorite thing in the whole world. Minus daybreak, kissing, and Zupas nuts about berries salad. Oh also Chili's mashed potatoes and gravy. Those are all good too. Okay now that that tangent is done, back to what I was saying about being cozy in my apartment...I got so much done on Wednesday I thought I was going to literally jump for joy. And I probably did come to think of it. I LOVE DAYS OFF TO GET STUFF DONE!

• I found this video:

The Chandler 7 from Collin Kartchner on Vimeo.

CUTEST THING EVER!! I can't wait until I am married and have a super fun family!!!!!!! My future kids don't know what they're getting themselves into with me as their mama! :) 

• On Thursday night I had Rolo cookies for the first time. Crazy delicious.

• I had my first pumpkin carving of the Fall 2011 season :) 

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Skullandcrossbones

Awkward:

• Why is that every time I wear heels to school or work everyone does a head turn to see who's walking down the hallway? Hello people it is just me. Not some hoochie mama wearing stilettos. Take a look and then remember that it makes me feel super awkward so please don't look in 5 minutes when I walk back down the hall mmkay? Thanks.

• I feel like a 13 year old girl who gets excited when she doesn't have a new zit in the morning. When will this chin-acne go away!? Dr. Dermatologist please help me. 

• It snowed. Need I say more except that is very awkward because it was only October 6th.

 

•  I tried this new thing in my car where you put the seat all the way down and use your abs to hold you up while driving. It was a great idea until I got in the car and forgot my seat was down so when I got in my car I fell backwards. Totally awkward if anyone at Kohl's saw me.

 

• When I see people I haven't seen for a long time, raise my hand in class, run into someone at a store, or talk to grown ups my face turns red. I am almost 21 remember...so why does my face STILL turn red when I talk to people? Awkward. I'm so ready to grow out of that stage. It's embarrassing. haha

• I have a small pet named peeve. This peeve is why do boys think it's okay to mess up your hair? haha I mean c'mon it takes kinda a long time to do that super cool french-braid-turns-into-a-twist-and-bobby-pin-the-two-sides-together-in-the-back hair do. And then they just come up and give you a noogie. For reals? Haha After they mess it up everyone just kinda looks at you thinking, "Dang that sucks. Her hair looks super messed up now." And you have to keep calm and collected as you remove the bobby pins and try to figure out what to do with the mess on top of your hair.

Okay I think those are all my awesomes and awkwards for this week! Now I'm off to go party it up at the Huge N Huge. A.K.A. Big party in Provo. It will be pumpin. Seeya!
