Sibling Love

LOVE my brothers. This Christmas was a bit sentimental since it'll be the last one we'll all have together for another two years (since Dan is leaving on his mission soon).

Paul you're the best older brother and friend I could ever ask for. You're always there for me, no matter what. I'm so lucky to have you. I love that I can talk to you about literally anything and you'll always have my back. You always know just what to tell me to help me through anything.

Daniel you're the goofiest, funniest guy I know. I love how much you make me laugh and smile and just relax! Who else pulls all of those goofy voices out of me? I don't think anyone else makes me as fun as you do. I'm going to miss you a lot while you're in Milan these next two years.

Miker you're a doll. Even with the ten year difference, you're a joy to have around.


Love you boys. I'm the luckiest sister in the world, I wouldn't trade you for anything.

Christmas Eve

It's been far too long since we've had the family together...one year since I've seen my favorite Paul. Gosh I love my family. My aunt just got in to town today and shared with me some of the best advice I've ever heard...

"what lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
ralph waldo emerson

Beautiful.

In the meantime, Happy Christmas Eve from foggy Washington!

PS family portraits were yesterday (thank heavens that's done!)...I'll post those soon.

Portland, OR

Discoveries from this weekend:

1. Roadtrips are heinous. They should be saved for only lovers and good friends. ie never your family...unless you have an extreme talent to keep your eyes and ears glued to iPod, laptop, or some other electronic device for the entire duration.

2. Why on earth have I never been to Portland before?! SO BEAUTIFUL!

3. Retirement is sweet. The only time I'm ever jealous of old people is when I visit my grandparents. Rockstars.

4. Procrastination has hit an all-time high for me. Christmas is in 5 days. I still need to buy presents for the brothers AND my dad. holy hannah.

5. Family photo sessions cause more stress than anything else in life. True story.


PS if you're in the Pacific Northwest this break...call me :)

Memories

Isn't it interesting how memories can leave you so lonely? (but really, you'd think it'd be the opposite...after all, you're thinking about a person.) Probably explains why my eyes are so puffy and I can't sleep at night. I can't believe it's been a year.

my dear semester

Dear Semester,

I have no idea where our time together went these past four months. You've treated me well. I've made so many new wonderful friends, learned a lot about life, and had so much fun enjoying life! Oh yes, and thank you for letting me survive finals this past week. phew! I can't believe you're one of my last. But that's the beautiful thing about life, isn't it? I love how constant the change is. Well, at least for now.

love,


B

PS sooooooo excited for Christmas! Still not sure what or where I'll be for New Years...suggestions? Was planning on Hawaii, but I'm rainchecking that trip. Colorado? Utah? hmm...

Ilene Darling

So excited you're getting married Ilene! I had a BLAST putting together your bridal shower tonight...especially the hot cocoa bar (why on earth didn't I take a picture of that cuteness?!)

Christmas!

Today I went to...count them...FOUR sacrament meetings. holy hannah. It was to support various friends who were singing/performing/whatever for their Christmas programs. Can I just say that I now have a whole new understanding and appreciation for what our bishopbrics and stake presidencies do every week? crazy.

However, they were all AMAZING and had beautiful music and testimonies. I love Christmas!

-----

PS the realist in me can't contain it...I have to admit I did fall asleep the second half of the last meeting I went to. I don't know how people sit through that many meetings on Sundays. Insane. Plus the Christmas music didn't help. Totally lulled me to sleep.

Count Down

18 more days of 2009.

I've made it my goal to end this year on a wonderfully happy note, and ring in the new year on the same. Today: Sleeping In, Ice Climbing, YoZone, Swimming, Harold & Maude, and The Quarry. Bring it on. pfff who said finals were a drag? 17 more days of amazingness.

Oh Dear

Dear Sanity,
I'd love to keep you. Just for another week. Then you're free to leave for a few.

Dear Family,
I can't wait for Christmas.

Dear Forearms,
Why on earth are you still sore? lame overhangs. psh.

Dear Snow,
You're so lovely, please keep up the good work. Especially post finals.

Dear Semester,
Do your worst. Two more days plus four finals, then good riddance!

Dear Life,
I love your silver linings.

The HBLL Christmas Musical

If the library could sing a song right now this would be it...

It's the most serious tiiiiiiiiime of the year
There'll be procrastination
and anticipation, with the end oh so neeeeaaaaaar!!!!
It's the most serious tiiiiiiime of the yeeeeeaaaaar!!!!

Oh I amuse myself too much, I'm sure. What else can you do while being holed up in the library attempting to write a dreadfully long and boring paper? I can't help but laugh to myself when I picture everyone in the library singing this. paha.

If You Can't Find Me...

...it's a good chance I'm:

a) in the AdLab
b) engrossed in a non-academic book in Barnes & Nobles
c) climbing at the Quarry now that it's fah-reezing outside.
d) eating. usually YoZone or freshly baked tortillas.
e) watching Planet Earth
...or...
f) all of the above with Kris. minus a.

Kris darling I love our entourage. I especially enjoy our infinite amount of hours spent together at The Quarry. like tonight. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday night than at The Quarry with the crew. love. love. love.

Africa

-----
PS can I tell you how in love with this song I am? Meaning the song that should be playing right now from my page...Africa by Karl Wolf. Perfection. Is it wrong for me to admit that I've been listening to it every fifteen minutes today?

Idea Killer

Pulled this from Kingdom Of Style, which I love.

San Francisco based artist, Scott Campbell, has created perhaps the most accurate illustrations to sum up how a creative idea can be crushed in seven ways.

I can't even begin to describe how comical I find this because of how true it is. bahaha.

Really.

-----
Dear Life,

I feel like I've learned a lot in the past twelve months. My how time flies and how life changes so quickly. And yet, out of all of it, the thing I've learned the most is that every time something knocks me down, there always ALWAYS something even better around the corner. Thank you for being so kind to me by letting me have my ups along with my downs. I feel like I've learned more than I could have ever imagined, and grown in ways I didn't even know were possible this year. And besides that, I'm finally, truly happy again. I couldn't have asked for a better way to bring in a new year. And yes, I'm excited to see what the next twelve months bring along. Quite excited, actually.

Love Always,


B

PS I have an INTERVIEW with L'Oreal tomorrow!!! And I'm SO EXCITED about it!!! A tad nervous, but not really. Ahhh it's only my DREAM brand to work for! I can't believe it's actually happening, it's really quite a blessing that I am so thankful for.

PPS I also found out this last week that I'm a national finalist for AAF's Most Promising Minority Advertising Student of the Year. haha, yes I know, I laughed about the 'minority' part too. BUT. It's an AMAZING opportunity that I have my incredible professors to thank for. I'll be meeting important advertising professionals, getting published, and having my resume sent to top companies on AAF's behalf. Oh. And the best part. Getting an expenses-paid trip back out to the wonderful NYC at the beginning of February. I'm so incredibly excited about this amazing opportunity!

Daniel's Mission Call!

Daniel got his mission call to...

MILAN, ITALY!!!

He reports March 3, 2010.

I'm so excited for him!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

A continuation...of all of the not-so-serious things...I'm thankful for in life. enjoy.

-backrubs and back scratches
-my mother's cooking
-watching snow storms from inside

-cars and airplanes. oh I'm so thankful for these, you have no idea.
-popcorn and orange juice
-the internet
-puzzles
-cameras
-pets

Mini Moab

----------

Went to Moab with these crazies this last weekend. Best. Trip. Ever.

Departure: 11:30 PM

Arrival into Moab: 2:30 AM

This group was ridiculously fun, this definitely goes down as one of my favorite weekend trips yet. Canyoneering, night climbing, steaks and brats, a handful of really good movies, Coke Icees, tumbleweed bonfires, a quick trip to the Moab Jail with Austin, and brontosaurus ribs. Yup, winner. Once again, it's weekends like this that make me question wanting to move away from fun friends and the beautiful outdoors...errr...darn NY for not being outdoorsy AT ALL.

----------

Week of Thanksgiving!

That's right, it's Thanksgiving! And yes, that means you're going to get a running list of things I am uncontrollably thankful for this year. So here are today's...they're the more serious things I'm thankful for in life. enjoy.

1. My family. I'm blessed with amazing friends who also happen to be my family. I'm so lucky. They're there for me through thick and thin, and have really showed it in the past year. I love them all more than anyone else in the world.
2. The Church. This past year I've felt like I've grown closer to the Lord and have a better, clearer understanding of His love for me. There's no better feeling in the world than knowing just how much He loves us and will always be there for us no matter what.
3. My friends. I have the best friends in the world. For real. I can't even tell you how grateful I am for every one of you.
4. My education. I'm finally graduating with my undergrad this year. So crazy. I'm so thankful for all of the experiences I've had at BYU, and excited to start the next stage of life!
5. Good health. I'm so thankful I've been blessed with a good immune system. Seriously.
6. Nature. More specifically, the mountains. There are few things in life that make me happier than enjoying nature with my friends.
7. Having a job. And a job offer. I'm so thankful that I have options in an economy where so many people don't. It's truly a blessing.

Canyon Love+Sunday Drives

Love this girl...I swear we do everything together now. Went on a beautiful drive up Hobble Creek Canyon on Sunday, and decided to get out and frolick in the snow. crazy. we may have froze our little buttooshkies off, but the sunset up there was to die for.

Switzerland

Truth: I'm in love with Switzerland.

French plus the Alps is straight up perfection in my book. Throw in that they've pretty much nailed the self-preservation tactic dead on, and we've got a winner. Uh-mazing. They always somehow manage to stay neutral and end up on top. I'm sure there are some cons somewhere, but my word, they've got my vote.

So...anyone want to relocate with me?

PC+L's Birthday

Perfect weekend.

Spent Friday and Saturday in Park City watching the world cup finals for bobsledding and skeleton racing. I'm such a mountain girl. Weekends like this make me question my sanity in moving out to NYC.

Lindsey's big 2-4 was Saturday too. Love her. Seriously, she's the greatest.

Bedtime

Dear Body,

Please can you try to actually fall asleep tonight and get a good night's rest? Oh wait, what? you'd love to? Thanks, I knew you'd understand. Socializing is extremely overrated and homework can just wait til tomorrow morning. Plus this whole not getting snuggled in under the covers until 2 in the morning then getting up early for school/work shenanagins just needs to stop.

love

Love Life

E.mo.tion
any of the feelings of joy, sorrow, fear, hate, love, etc.

------

My opinion? Emotions are always the source of what causes you to grow the most. If you didn't ever feel joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or love you wouldn't have the opportunity to stretch, sometimes break, pull yourself back together, and grow from everything life throws at you. Do I enjoy everything that life throws at me? Absolutely not. But I'm learning how to be happy with what I'm handed...and just how to be happy in general :)

My Mom shared something with me that she learned in her stake conference this weekend. The key to happiness is making decisions that allow the spirit to be in your life. So true. (I really need to find a copy of this talk, it was given by President Eyring) Gave me a new perspective, that's for sure. If I'm not happy, what can I change that would allow the spirit to be more in my life?

November Sunshine

November is always the worst in UT. It's never warm enough to still do fun summer sports outside, but there isn't snow enough to do winter sports yet. So, naturally, you'll understand why I was STOKED that it was 68 and sunny today! In celebration, Karissa and I played tennis for a very blissful hour outside while soaking up the sun...loved it!

Wild Things

Halloween 2009: The Wild Things, complete with Danny as Max

(Michelle if you ever read this, I totally saw your blog after we made these too...too funny! love hoodie costumes! love Martha!)

-----------------------

Oh and need we forget the amazing Real Game?

Such a fun Halloween with the crew...now why didn't we ever get a photo with all of us in it?

You Are Something Divine!

"You are something divine, More beautiful and glorious than you can possibly imagine. This knowledge changes everything. It changes your present. It can change your future. And it can change the world."

What an amazing thought.

Did anyone else listen to President Uchtdorf's talk Sunday night? It was truly amazing. I have so much respect and admiration for that man. If you didn't listen to it Sunday night, you can watch it here.

Hi, My Name is Brooke, I'm Married to L'Oreal Brandstorm...

Yup, it's true. Pretty much decided advertising is the reason I'm not dating anyone. Why? Because I seriously don't have time for anything else. For real. Like this post? Definitely writing it under the guise of this counting as a "break" from the precase study I'm working on.

please please please please pleeeeeaaaaaase let my team go on to the finals so that all this sleep and social deprivation can be justified. If not...hmm...I guess I'll be able to sleep more often.

Things That Make Me Happy

Sometimes I just need an extra umph to get me over the grumpy hill and make me smile. This is totally one of those weeks.

The following never cease to make me smile...

-Hugs from Jake Welch. If you know him, you know what I mean. He's a rock star, one of my favorite old friends. I adore him. He just hugged me and it seriously made me a million times happier.
-Long conversations with my besties.
-Perusing my favorite stores...online or for real.
-Making things. My newest thing is altering clothing by adding embellishments.
-Baking lovely and yummy things...then giving them away.
-Visiting people in the hospital.
-Listening to and discovering new music.
-Quiet, late nights spent at home alone, snuggled up in my bed with a good book.
-co-ed naps...ha...errr...I mean...solitary naps on my own. Naps in any form, really.
-Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory snickers carmel apples.

Love Others, Love Yourself

I love this quote from Elder Faust:

“The commandment given by the Savior was to love others and yourself. Am I secure enough in my love of myself to laugh at myself, to admit mistakes, to graciously accept a compliment? Am I secure in my love of others to smile and say hello to a perfect stranger?”

To read the full address this came from, clickity click here.

Another good thought from this address...

"All of us are not called to leadership in the kingdom. Yet is there a greater work than that of being a teacher, father, mother? So it is that nobody is a nobody. The seeds of divinity are in all of us. The day will come when we will all have to account to God for what we have done with that portion of divinity that is within us."

Nubby at Hobble Creek

Evidence from The Saturday Golf Freeze Fest at Hobble Creek,

Andy is a rock star for putting up with me.

Who ever knew these could double as nub mittens?

Pedal Powered Water Purification

I seem to be on a pedal power kick lately, what the random. But hey, biking is pretty awesome. Check out the article below. Not only do I think the design of this is rad, but I love it when people actually get on board with the idea of reusable energy. Don't hate me for loving nature.

Fountainhead Reposited: A Pedal Powered Water Purification Island

by Kevin Gardner, 10/22/09

Synch your workout with a little river detox, then rehydrate with a cup of the fresh water you just filtered. This people-powered water purification island, designed by Jakub Szczesny as part of the Synchronicity architecture and art festival in Warsaw, Poland, hooks up basic exercise machines to kinetically pump polluted water through four filters into overhead tanks that spill into a large drinking fountain at the end of the cycle. This floating platform on the Vistula River aims to empower citizens toward environmental clean-up, and apparently would work on any body of water with enough local bodies willing to pedal for their potables.

Stationary Sweat-Fest

My roommate has been dragging my lazy butt to a 6AM spinning class this week. Every day.

Does anyone else feel silly in these classes?

Everyone's all in a row, right next to each other, not moving AT ALL...

And you're all still panting, dripping sweat, and about to die.

It makes me laugh every morning.

So ridiculous.

But I still love it. Such a good workout.

SG + LV

{Best Road Trippin' Group Ever}

Car Truth or Dare, Queen, Vanilla Ice,
Utes Game, Sleepless Nights, 3 girls in 1 bed,
pool time, rainforest showers,
Awesome.

hours and hours and hours of fun

Ok fine, so maybe not hours. but this definitely entertains me for about a full class period. or a full night when I really should be studying or doing homework. See how good your eyeballing skills are here.

Pinwheel Love

{Pinwheels}

I'm using these in various sizes, patterns, and shades of grey, white, and yellow to decorate my charcoal wall in the bedroom. Love. I still owe you photos of my room...ahh I'll get on that soon! It's quite modernly feminine.

Know What I'm Doing This Weekend...?

Building a Wild Things Fort!!!

Check this out for more info. Fort building contest inspired by "Where The Wild Things Are."











Fun idea, and fun photos so far.

Yarn Bombing

Stumbled across this today...

so interesting.










{I think the crochet chain link fence is my favorite. Awesome.}

I knew I loved Colorado for a reason

Call me crazy, but I just love weddings when they're done right. Seriously nothing would make me happier than to be able to plan people's weddings for the rest of my life.

Just stumbled across this one that was done in Aspen. There is just something about those Colorado Rockies that I cannot resist. LOVE. To see the full wedding, clickity click here.

Empathy

You know how everyone has their pet attribute they continually work on over and over and over? Mine is empathy. I believe that if everyone were more empathetic, life would be better. period. Just imagine if everyone always tried to really understand how you felt and why...it'd be great if everyone would just TRY to be an ounce more this way.

My friend Matt wrote this post the other day about understanding others, and it made me smile. Love how concise he is...such a great guy!

Bear Lake

Spent conference weekend up in Bear Lake with the Bushnell family. It ended up being so perfect, I really needed some time to just chill, relax, and re-energize after the craziness of last week. A big thank you to Dan for inviting me.





{such a fun family to spend the weekend with}

Continuing the Revamp

Ok, so back when I moved into my house a month ago, I got on a kick of repainting and decorating everything in my room. The room went from stark white everything to heather grey and charcoal, with pops of yellow...and I love it! But, I didn't quite have the nerve to paint the dresser. I mean, paint? I could see how a stain could work well, but was quite skeptical about the whole paint idea...til I stumbled across this. I'm thinking white and black...mmm? It'd hands down look infinitely better than the current brown state that it's in, yes?




Oh and I'm thinking I'm going to add a demi partition via a hanging curtain gathered and cinched to the wall by my short bookshelf to split the space. White, I believe. That way I can finally feel good about going all out on my vintage lace inspired wall. Black lace on the heather grey wall and cream lace on the charcoal. It should be fab. Ahh still can't believe this darn room has taken me a month to get done! I'll be sure to post photos when it all comes togetha.


And yes, I know, I should be studying. But I just can't concentrate! I can do like thirty minutes of focus to every ten of something else. Oh my word, it's bad.

Dear School

Dear School,

The only thing I want in life right now is to curl up in my bed, not set my alarm, and fall asleep.

But no. I still have one more exam I need to study for and take tonight. Make it end, please please please make this horrible week end! The sooner, the better.

Thanks,

B

SNOW!!!

So I woke up this beautiful morning of September 30th, and what did I see???


SNOW!!!






It's beautiful, I love it with the fall leaves...plus it means I got to break out my fall clothes: sweaters, riding boots, gloves and all...but hey...it's only September. And there's snow. What the.

Fall Fest!

Fall Leaf Drive numero uno on Sunday...picnic turned four hour adventure with Ash, Kris, Dustin, Mark, and Adam. So much fun together.






{Stuff like this makes me question my sanity in wanting to move away from the mountains next year!}

B.A.C./P.A.C.

Brooke Ashley & Paul Anthony

Love my brother. Just talked to him on the phone and realized we haven't seen each other since New Years. 9 months is entirely too long. I miss him immensely, thank heavens for cell phone! I talk to him probably every week or so. Without any exaggeration, he's my best friend and the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful...and not to mention good looking...boy you'll ever meet. Plus he's an amazing listener and gives some of the best advice. Oh and he has a pretty awesome sense of humor, so ya know, added perk. We laugh entirely too much when we're together. Favorite memory: living with him for a month and a half last summer in Maui. Yeah...we shared a room for a month, and we still somehow love each other. I'm so lucky to have him as a brother.

Love you Paul!

Love & Exhaustion

It's true. I'm in love with New York City. Pretty much decided I want to move there when I'm done with school. That said, I have never been so exhausted in my life (and ridiculously scared for the mass amounts of studying and catching up on course material my brain will be forced to do...and do well...this week)

ex.haust.ion: extreme weakness or fatigue.

Yeah, I'd say that's about right. I hate layovers. Who even thought of those? Lame. My connecting flight in Denver was canceled on my flight back today, so I had the marvelous privilege of becoming bff with the Denver International Airport for an additional four hours. Maybe that would've been ok if I'd actually gotten more than 1 hour of sleep last night. But seeing as I didn't, and that I was so comatose I fell asleep on the plane before it even pulled away from the gate in NY, you can only imagine my annoyance at DIA. Thank heavens they have the best food court of any airport. Starbucks, Panda, and Ben & Jerry's all did me well. such a fatty. and so rambling right now....ahhhh I need sleep baaaaaadly.

Loving Life

Leaving for the nyc TOMORROW!!! I'm incredibly excited to go for Ad Week and meet NEW AD AGENCIES, and of course just excited to be back in the city.


On a funny note...just look at the photo to the left. This weekend was AMAZING. Explanation: way too crazy with Ash, Justin, and Ryan Friday night in Park City. The cabin we were at was full of stuffed animals and we just couldn't resist this photo opp. haha. I was way too hyper that night...reminds me of those crazy nights we used to have all the time in the Aves! Too funny.

But seriously, great weekend. SL, PC, tennis with Ilene, golf with Andy, laughing way way way too much with Ash, Kris and the various boys, football game with Val, movie snuggles, sunday night game night, and monday morning rock climbing. So much fun! And all followed by a week packed full of advertising and NY!



{so happy}

Love Me Preppy

Relaxing Friday:

7AM wake up.
8AM finally get out of bed after laying there texting.
9AM yum. breakfast.
10AM tennis with the lovely Ilene.
12PM back to the office. blech. might have detoured to the adlab to save sanity.
1PM sit at work and finish hw I'll be missing while I'm in NY next week.
3PM golf (aka driving range fun) with Andy.
5PM rendez-vous with Ash in SLC then head up to Park City for the night.

Gosh when did my life get so preppy again? love. it.




PS I want this polo BAD. Or their blue, white and gold one. Totally back into the polo phase I seem to always inevitably return to. Anyone feel like being charitable in the form of Ralph Lauren? haha.

back, back to the NY, NY!!!

Random 10 Countdown For the NYC Return:

-10 gillion options of outfits I could bring. ad week is overlapping with fashion weeks...dun dun dun.
-9 gillion options that I've narrowed it to. Will have to work on this one more!
-8 or so new ad firms I'm hoping to visit. (and so excited about!)
-7 more permanent months left in Provo...then real life! woo!
-6 more days til I'm back in wonderful NYC for Ad Week!!!
-5 glorious days I'll be spending there
-4 tiny hours on an airplane...don't you love modern travel?!
-3 dollars. Close to what my bank account will (not) hold after this stint.
-2 amazing parents who have been ridiculously supportive of me, and who I will forever be grateful for.
-1 fabulous BYU AdLab that is making this happen.


And on a serious note...I really am excited to be going back to NYC to experience Ad Week, but more importantly see more ad agencies and get a feel for them. I'm starting to heavily lean toward an east coast move come April, and hopefully this will help me gain an even better perspective on what's out there. So excited for this next stage of life to start!

{LOVE}

oh provo boys

For the past week or so random guys have been showing up unannounced on my doorstep asking if a roommate is home. Seeing that I don't know the requested basement girls, I usually say "I have no idea, you're welcome to check........pause........or you know, you could just call them." Seriously, am I the only one who thinks that it's weird these guys show up unannounced without calling the girl, don't feel comfortable going to knock on their bedroom door themselves, and somehow all resort to asking me to check for them?! Up until today I've been nice enough to run downstairs and check if the requested girl is home, but tonight after giving the multiple suggestions of how this certain boy could either a) go check for himself to see if she's home downstairs, or b) call her, and having the guy still for some unknown reason remain glued to our couch (during the middle of the GG season premier mind you), I pulled out my phone and called the girl myself.

Yup, she was downstairs.

She thinks it was hysterical that I called her. I think it's obnoxious that living upstairs somehow makes me responsible for answering the door for everyone. I'm going to try out the theory of not answering the door unless I'm expecting someone. Or if they're persistent and knock more than once. Maybe. I'll let you know how it goes.

My Favorite BYU Thing

Yup. I can be seriously happy with BYU at times.

So excited for the Devotional tomorrow that President Monson will be speaking at. These devos may in fact be my number one favorite part about my past 4 years at the BY of U. Particularly the ones from freshman year when Kris and I used to get bread and honey butter every week to eat during....errr...I mean, after...the speaker's remarks. Yumzer.

{such good times}

Heart Hurt

Dear Heart,

Please stop hurting over things you know you can't change. I know you keep having unpleasant reminders shoved back in your face here in Provo, but please for sanity and beauty's sake, please please please stop agitating the tear ducts. I'd really appreciate it. How about just focusing on happy things like the beautiful weather and climb you did with your amazing friends today?

thanks

Days of Labor with the Girls

I had quite the enjoyable weekend with the girls.
A quick 4 wheeling, rock climbing, footballing, fat man miserying, angel's landing jaunt.

{love}
