abc {2011} wrap-up

For a 2011 wrap-up I thought I'd do a little ABC in the life of Bee-Ritt. Here we go!

{A.} Age: twenty.one

 {B.} Best memory of this year: Oh there were lots! I'd have to say my vacations were the most fun! I went to Arizona for MLB Spring Training, Disneyland with my family, lots of St. George trips, and my most recent vacay to Denver for the Bronco's game!

 {C.} Chore you dislike: I really hate doing the dishes. I'm hoping that my future husband won't mind doing them if I'm cooking the meals. ;) But for reals.

{D.} Dogs: I ♥ dogs. :) Especially my puppy Roxanne!

 {E.} Essential start to your day: I am totally a morning person and love getting up a half hour early to do whatever I can on my to-do list! I also love starting out each morning with a water bottle at about 8:00am.Why 8:00am? Who knows?

{F.} Favorite colors: Anything pink usually wins me over. Just check out my room.

 {G.} Greatest accomplishment: Being awarded Miner of the Year 2009 at my high school and starting Brielle Photography and Design!

{H.} Habits: Reading before I fall asleep, eating 2 gummy vites every night in bed, snapping my fingers while running up stairs (I don't know why I do this, but it drives me crazy!!).

{I.} Influential People: My parents, Oprah Winfrey, Stephanie Nielsen, Elizabeth Kartchner, Gordon B. Hinckley, Marjorie Hinckley.

 {J.} Job Aspirations: Ahhhh....I have so many ideas! Maybe open my own boutique, continue my photography and design business, be a school teacher, start my own preschool, own some type of business/store/bakery, goodness who knows! So many ideas and not sure which one I want to go for!

{K.} Kids:I cannot even wait to have kids. SOOOO excited! I've recently decided on 4 of their names...ready to hear them?! 
1st boy: Dallas 
2nd boy: Austin
1st girl: Mersadi 
2nd girl: Brielle ♥ 

{L.} Little things that make me happy: Helping people in need, getting/giving thoughtful gifts, sunsets, flowers, when someone says "Good morning" as you pass by them.

 {M}. Middle Name: Nicole

{N.} Nicknames: Britt, Bee-Ritt, Brizzle, Bee, Brittster, Turbo, B4, Burpee, Shawty. (haha jk about the last one, but I'm pretty sure everyone's someone's Shawty at one point or another.)

{O.} Oh, the Places I've Been!: Washington, Oregon, California, Canada, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, and Colorado. Pretty much have hit up the Western U.S.

{P.} Pet peeves: I've never had a pet named Peeve. ;)

{Q.} Quote: "Embrace yourself as you are. Celebrate yourself as you long to be!"

 {R.} Righty or lefty: Righty baby. Story time: When I was little I would always do things with my left hand and my dad forced me to be right handed because he doesn't like being a lefty. I'm pretty sure I was mean to be left handed though...

{S.} Six words to describe me: Determined, optimistic, strong-willed, happy, creative, adventurous. 

 {T.} Time you wake up: 6:30am for escuela or 8:30am on the weekends.

{U.} Underwear: Here's a little unknown secret about me --I love matching my underwear to my outfits! :) I also hate thongs. Ew gross nasty. Constant wedgie.

{V.} Vegetables you don’t like: Peas and cooked carrots

{W}. What makes you run late: Other people!! I am a psycho about being on time (aka 5-10 minutes early) to everything and I find myself only late if I'm going with other people.

{X.} X-rays you’ve had: On my foot after an intense church-ball injury. Boom baby.

{Y.} Yummy food you make:  Mama A's chex mix, s'mores cookies, rolo cookies, and banana bread.

 {Z.} Zealous Goals:  Visit every state in the U.S., create an inspirational book, be on the Oprah Winfrey Network, and visit Times Square!

And that's a 2011 wrap people! Now it's time to think of my 2012 resolutions, goals and dreams. 
I love this time of year where I am able to reflect, learn, and aspire!
Until next time.
XOXO.

Denver Trip

    According to my blog I'm still flying on an airplane to Denver...shoot I've been bad at updating my blog lately! :( Here's a fun recap of my awesome trip!

Day {1}: Airplane day! :)

We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare so we spent a good hour and a half sitting at the terminal waiting to board. I absolutely loved soaking it all in though! Not to mention that people watching at an airport is interesting - I sat there wondering exactly where these people came from, where they were going, and what kind of lives do they live?

Riding on an airplane was amazing!!!!! Looking out the window at this was definitely awe-inspiring. 

My cute aunt and cousins waiting for me in Denver!

Friday night we hit up the Colorado University vs. Wyoming basketball game in Boulder, CO.

And then we tried to go clubbing on Pearl Street with no luck. How are two Utah girls supposed to find a pumpin club in the middle of winter when they have no idea where they are? haha Major fail.

We came home to cute presents on our bed with matching Christmas pajamas from my aunt. :)

Day {2}: Play Day
We woke up bright and early for Little A's soccer game! He was so much fun to watch because he would just run around the field and wave to us! haha So cute!

Then we went shopping in Westminster, CO and got some jewelry, purses, and clothes!

To end the night, we saw New Year's Eve which I LOVED x 100 even though the ratings only gave it a 6%. haha

Day {3}: Game Day!

We got to the game super early and soaked up the hot December sun! But seriously, it was SOOO nice outside!! When we booked this trip in October I was really worried about the weather for the December 11th game, but it turned out perfect!

The food was delish and the sun was mega bright.

We couldn't have asked for a better game!!! Well maybe if the Broncos would have actually scored in the first 3+ quarters it would've been better, but what an AMAZING ending! So glad we could celebrate with all the insane, drunk, nappy Denver fans. :)

And of course the day wouldn't be complete without a Dairy Queen run. (An FYI for all you readers - my uncle owns a few DQs in Colorado which = free unlimited DQ for us!) I have never eaten so many hot dogs and smoothies in 3 days....haha DELISH.

 

I had so much fun getting to know my two youngest cousins!! We played lots of "rocket", "chase", and "house".

Day {4}: The trip comes to an end. :( Thank you to my Aunt and her family for being so nice to us the entire time!!! You spoiled us waaaaay to much! Love you guys!

Airplane Day!

Holy halibut. This is where I'll be this morning...up in the clouds on my very first airplane ride!!!! It looks absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to experience the feeling of flying! You better believe I'll be fighting for that window seat! ;) Wish me luck! 

Big day, big news!

Okay so it is now 11:16 and I have not sat down to do one ounce of homework yet, but hey I'm living large right now so homework is the last thing on my mind. Let me just insert my Facebook status from tonight to fill you in...

"I'M GOING ON AN AIRPLANE EVERYBODY!!!! My first airplane experience = a trip to Denver, Colorado for the Bronco's game on December 11th with my best friend Shalese Pace!!!! Yeah buddy!!" 

Do you now see why I might be a little bit excited tonight?! Yes my first plane ride. Ever. And my first NFL game!!! Crazy right? I'm super excited! :)

Just wanted to share. Off to do my homiework. (Yes, it's pronouned home-ee-work)

Friends & Fall

 There's nothing I love more than a beautiful fall night up in the mountains! I took my friends, who also double as my awesome roommates this semester, up Provo Canyon for a little walking around and impromptu photo sesh that turned into us jumping over and over for like 20 minutes until we finally got a couple jumping pictures with all three of us in the air at the same time :)

 Love you girls!!
