XOXO

Romantic by heart, passionate about eternal love.

My whole life I feel like i've known i'm pretty passionate. Throughout life they've changed from things like barney and swinging at the play ground, to school, to photography. But, something I've never ever had change as a passion, is love.

I don't ever remember a time where seeing a guy do something romantic for his girl didn't melt my heart. When I didn't admire the love my grandparents have for each other. Or a cute scene in a movie didn't make me tear up. Or A line in a book i didn't write down in my journal to save for later. or seeing a simple kiss of a couple on a walk didn't make me smile. Or the way a couple look at each other that are truly in love makes me hope to feel like that one day. Or watching a couple come out of the temple, newly married, make me dream of the day I get to do the same.

It makes me sad that the world views love in such a different way now. What once was something that was precious and sacred, I feel is now clouded by the confusion of the world in so many ways.

I've grown up knowing that I won't be as happy as I ever can be until I meet the man I will love for eternity. Not till death do you part. Families are forever because of the sealing power of the temple.

Maybe it's weird for me to think, but when i hear a song and it says "till death do you part" {there's one in a song from hair spray} or in a movie when people get married I truly get sad. How awful is it to think that the only time you'll have that person with you is in this mortal life? It breaks my heart.

In institute a few weeks back we spent a couple days on this document. The Family: A proclamation to the world.

What a beautiful document. There are so many things in there that I love.

At school, the views are not the same as the standards in the church. I'm told on pretty much at least a weekly basis that my career should come before a family. That just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I should have to stay at home to raise my children.

Everyone has the free agency to choose what they want to do. But, I have never ever wanted anything more than I want to be a wife and mom. As much as I love and am passionate about photography, I'd never choose it over having a family. The proclamation to the family states this so well.

"Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children....By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. "

I feel like everything in the church goes back to the importance of the family and sealing of a man and woman in the temple.

I've never questioned this, it's never changed, and it never will.

My friends have jokingly made fun of me for being so in love with love, being such a sap, and such, but, I don't care.

I think a big part about why I love photographing weddings and couples is because of how happy they are.

I feel like most people don't believe in the type of love I believe in anymore, religion aside. {especially the guys, no offense} But, I don't ever stop believing. I'll probably get my heart broken more often than most, and break-ups are harder because I vest myself so much into it and am very open and because of that, vulnerable. But, one day it'll pay off because the more open and honest you are, the more you have room to love. I know it, and I've felt it.

Secret reveal time-

I have a stash of about 5 or 6 letters i've written to my future husband. First letter is from when I was about 10 I think. I haven't written one since i was 17. I should probably do that again sometime? Funny thing is, they're all sealed and the only one thing i remember writing about is in the last one i wrote. It's so incredibly cheesy and weird that I don't even want to think about "him" {whoever that is} reading it one day. He's in for a real treat. ha ha.


Sorry ya'll. that was probably a little too much to write about.

It has come to my attention.... that clearly I am doing this blogging thing wrong.

Okay so it has come to my attention that to be a better blogger I need to change some things about myself. The blogs that I stalk every once in a while that are popular and have a hundred million followers usually fit into these qualifications-

1. Long hair that has been died blond.

2. A unique/ eclectic sense of style.

3. Being LDS is a plus.

4. Awesome creative abilities.

5. A DSLR camera.

6. A rich and {may I add} very attractive husband.
7. A toddler or two or four.
8. An Etsy account for all their crafty things they do in their "spare" time.
And 
9. Go on very posh vacations with their attractive husbands and cute children.

I am 2 of the above. Clearly I am doing things wrong..... :P

And {random} I LOVE this quote. 

Marvin J Ashton said, "No person will ever be totally free who is living a lie.. We should ever bear in mind that a wrong isn't right just because many people do it. A wrong deed isn't right just because it hasn't become visible."


That was in the ensign this month. 

The dreams that can't come true

I have these phases I go through. dreaming phases. Not the dreams like I want to go to the moon or I wish I could get an A in an art class type dream.
The dreams you have while sleeping.
I'll go months without a dream. And then boom! I have dreams nearly every night.

Here's how the past year has gone, by memory. {rough}

july-august- Very very regular
september-october- not much
november-present {longest stretch that I can remember}- TONS. Here's the thing though. While I used to love having these dreams, I do not anymore. I wish they'd go away because I just wake up being sad that they can't come true anymore. They include the same people mostly and It's not helping me right now.
Have you ever woken up crying? and you don't remember crying in your sleep? Well folks, I did that for the 2nd time in all my life this morning. The first time was last october {2010}. I remember because it was an awful day in which the dream came to life. Luckily today wasn't awful and nothing happened, but when I first woke up, I was extremely sad and kind of scared.

Since I was little, I've felt like dreams can mean something. I don't think they all do, but some definitely do. I'll share a personal story-

I believe i was 3, My mom had just had a miscarriage {in between Quinton and I} and naturally was having a hard time. Well, {I vaguely remember this but my mom loves this story. as do I So i hear it a lot} Ashleigh and I had the same dream one night about this baby. In the dream, The baby {a boy that to this day i believe to be Quinton} just needed to go back and talk to Heavenly Father one last time before he came to Earth. But that he'd be back and he'd be a part of our family soon. Quinton was born later that year.
You may say that this was all a coincidence, But, I cannot believe this. Ash and I were given that dream for a reason.

Which brings me to my present nightly dreams {i guess they're not every night. but at least 3-4 times a week}. I don't understand why I've been having these specific dreams. Before about a year ago, I've never really dreamed about one thing or subject in particular. They were very random and had very little real life things in them. Until recently I haven't really thought into it too much, but I don't like them anymore.

At the same time though, I don't understand why I'd be having these dreams when I so badly don't want them anymore, if there wasn't some sort of reason.

I have no clue. And, most likely I'll never figure it out. But, I'd love it if I could. That or stop having them so I can actually want to sleep at night.

But, if they went away, I'd probably wish they were back.

Clearly I have been thinking a lot about this.

And as much as I do not want to go to bed, I must because i'm   ex    haust    ed.

this is true. Only I hear there were 40,000 people who went this year. 

thanks Allison for showing this to me! 

Happy Color festival 2012! Allison and I are pretty stellar.

Just in case you wanted to know, we had to park 2 miles away from the hare krishna temple. insanity! SOOOO crowded this year! But really fun. :D

Also, go see the Hunger Games movie. And if you haven't read the book, do that first! They are excellent!

Because sometimes I take fun pictures

I realize I haven't given you very many pictures in my blog lately.
Well luck is on your side today because you're going to be getting some!Today, I didn't have school. So I went up to campus to take care of some study abroad stuff and buy some 120 mm film. After I grabbed Holga {my cheap medium format camera}from my locker, I put her around my neck and walked all the way across campus and thought to myself "You probably look fantastic with your sunglasses, big flower, poofy hair, camera, and camera purse!"
then when I got home, I walked by my full length mirror and decided that I look like I was a tourist, checking out USU campus....
and then I realized that it was "A-Day" where all the little seniors in high school come up to tour campus. Great. Everyone probably thought I was a weird young thang.

but I don't seem to care too much because at least I know I'll be a good lookin' tourist in Europe this summer. :P {I hope you guys know that I'm not really conceited. I just had to tell this funny story. haha}

I had to put this one up too because you can see my fun fake tattoo .
{it's a bumblebee which just so happens to match my yellow shirt.}

So, yesterday was soooo beautiful!! 

so we decided to go lay on the "grassy knoll"

on side of window. i'm the one with pretty blue hair. Betsy's the other one.

This is the other side of the window. But look below at the next picture!!!

look how fun we are when you slide them together!!!
good idea Betsy cakes! We have the coolest bedroom window ever!

days left of school. one for us to look at, one for
 the outside people creepy looking at our windows.

this is betsy and my st patties day feast.
they drink lots, so we decided to have some sparkling cider. :D

green fries

green corn

green burritos. it looked sooo nasty!!!

green ranch

bubbly

and apple pie that allison made with lips on top. :D

there you go. more to come later.

Time Travel- been there, done that. Today.

Today was kind of insane. I experienced-


pain- I spilt boiling hot water all over my left hand. And it hurts! and Other pains too. But they might embarrass some people. jk jk......


happiness- My portfolio in one of my photo classes is going to be waaaay more simple than the one I chose {and nearly killed myself with} last semester.


excitement- Study abroad planning! I cannot wait till May 8th. seriously! Europe, look out! Brianna is coming! SOON!


worry- Hoping I really am going to have enough money to eat while i'm in Europe. Anyone want to send me money? {just kidding, I would feel super awful if you really did}


nervousness- thinking about the next few years of my life. Not really wanting to be a real adult with scary responsibilities when i'm done with college in a year..... holy hannah banana that's scary! Only a year???! *hyperventilation*


sad- Because when you think too much about certain things, you just want to cry. But good news you guys! I didn't lose any of my precious tears today. :D


peace- I read the entire Ensign today. Cover to Cover. And you know what? It turned all of my sad into a manageable burden that helped me feel reassured of what I already knew and just forgot for a little bit.


Assurance- Assurance felt from my Father in heaven. That he REALLY does love me, and care for me, and care about me and the hardness that life seems to bring more of recently.


stressed- let's be honest, as sure as my name is Brianna, I'll stress. It's a part of the definition of me. It's how I get anything done. It helps me realize I'm still the same me. {maybe this shouldn't be so much of me.....?}


anxious- For my little niece to be born! ONE WEEK till her due date! Can you people believe it's been that long since I've been blogging about her?????


and....


time travel- Yep, that's right. I have been to 8 time zones today, in 3 continents, in the years past, and 6 years the future too! 
      

     Explanation time-  My phone keeps telling me that I have changed time zones and then will give me it's suggestion on what time zone I'm in. But guess what? I've been in Utah, ALL DAY! I have not been to russia or spain or california or missouri or anywhere else they think i've been. Not once, I promise! So, I don't even understand why it's been having a heart attack all day. 

      Also, my Ipod told me it was july 23 1969. Then when I manually changed it to the current day and time, it went right back. So then, naturally i think something happened on this date that i must need to know about.... so i google it. Naturally, Nothing that cool happened that day. Just a big baseball game and president Nixon was giving a speech on Johnston Island. But here's the thing, after thinking about how this could be important to me, but i got nothing. It just made me wish that something cooler would have happened on this day.

      then to make the day even stranger, I got an email from a "Mrs. Jones" wishing me a happy 26th birthday. And I don't know who Mrs. Jones is, but it's a) creepy she knows my name. b)creepy that this happened on the same day as all of the aforementioned things. and c)sad that she missed my birthday by nearly 2 months. But mostly just a and b.

Here, my friends, and foes {just kidding, I hope I don't have foes}, is a beautiful quote that I read in the Ensign-

 "No person will ever be totally free who is living a lie.. We should ever bear in mind that a wrong isn't right just because many people do it. A wrong deed isn't right just because it hasn't become visible yet"

-Marvin J Ashton


And here is a time machine picture so you can imagine that you went time traveling with me today. But, I didn't have to use a machine to do it. I'm that great. :P

I love Betsy Reeves with my whole heart and hope to be as cool as her someday. I vow this day to make her food every day as long as we both shall live, with you, my faithful blog readers, as witnesses.

Differences between right and wrong.

So, I'm 20 and have now had 20 years of agency. As I've gotten older I've had more of it. Moving out and going to college has given me pretty free range in whatever I want to do.
I used to think I'd love making all my own decisions. Not so anymore. I wish people would tell me what to do when it comes to the really hard things. Because if i've learned anything it's that-

Doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing are very different. The wrong thing is easier. It's always easier to give in. The right thing is so hard.

the other thing i've learned about right and wrong-

The wrong thing will not hurt you at the moment. It'll most likely make you feel good and relieved. It's what the bad side of you wants because no one likes to be hurt. The right thing though, will hurt at the moment sometimes. And sometimes it'll make you feel like you could never feel worse.

But, the most important thing I've learned-

The wrong thing's "feel good" stage will leave. And in replace, you'll feel worse than you would have if you made the right choice in the beginning. Making the right decision may nearly kill you, tear you're heart to pieces, and then feel like they're stomped on, but in the long run, things will be better. You'll know you made the right decision and no matter how hard it is in the beginning, there's a {very} faint light at the end of the tunnel calling your name.

After making the right decision, you'll most likely at some point want to give up. You'll probably think at some point while you're feeling awful, you want to rewind and have a re do because human nature is not to want to feel bad. And the whole time while making the right decision, there will be both people rooting for you, and there will be people booing you while trying to make you feel worse.

More things I've learned-

Associate yourself with people who make it easier to do the right thing. People that are pretty darn good shoulders to cry on, because I promise, you'll need it at some point. people that cheer you on in the good things, not the bad. It makes life easier ten fold.

“It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did it wrong.” -Henry Longfellow

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.” -Theodore Roosevelt. 

“The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.” -H. Norman Swarzkopf 

And to end on a happier note, Betsy and I went to the temple yesterday. :D And also to the mall yesterday. We'd never been to the cache valley mall. {okay, I went to bath and body in it once but no other stores} and it is by far the smallest mall I've ever been to. Maybe has 25-30 stores. The best store in that mall though, was the video store. It was so awesome!! There were stacks and stacks just laying around. Stacked as high as the ceiling. VHS, DVDs, Records, Cassettes, CDs, games, everything. We found some gems in there. I asked the worker guy if I could do a photo shoot in there some time and he said yes! So, i'm excited about this. :D Here's a picture I took of Betsy while there.

Cooking and Quote

HEY! IT'S SPRING BREAK STILL!

Been cooking, but first, here's a quote my friend, MarLyn had on her status. I love this so so so so so much. I'm so glad I'm a girl. Even though I hate how emotional I am sometimes, I feel like it's overall a blessing rather than a curse.

“Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman,

 I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. 

Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah.

 Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. 

Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your 

perfectly vulnerable beating heart. 

Nothing is more powerful than allowing 

yourself to truly be affected by things. 

Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, 

a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, 

a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – 

look around you. All of this is for you. 

Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.”

— Zooey Deschanel

So, I have made some scrumptious things here lately. For the next little while, I have to keep myself busy so I don't go insane with my recent life events. So, While Betsy was at work today, I cooked up a storm, danced in my apron {clarification-with clothes on underneath, not just the apron} and sang a few songs into my wooden spoon. My mother taught me this. Only she usually uses a hair brush. They both work, right?

Did I mention that I had the windows open. Not so the whole apartment complex could hear me, but because it's a beeeeeautiful day! I love spring. 

So I made coookies. And a pasta bake thing. Naturally I just made that recipe up. 

If you want the cookie recipe comment and ask, I'm just nowhere near it right now, but i'd be happy to post it. Not really a secret one, but they were excellent. So i'm adding it to my success stories in cooking. :D

And I've been working on my food photography too. I love this image. :) window lighting.

 so here, is the pasta bake thing. I've made something similar to this before, you can find the recipe here.

before being baked.

you can clearly see my food photography is getting better. yay!

Yesterday was pi day. {3.14}  "π" So betsy and I made mint pie. It's really hard. I'll tell you how to do it.

whip 1 pint heavy whipping cream.

add one small can/bottle/ thing of marshmallow cream

beat untill combined well. 

mint extract to taste

stir a little more

pour into Oreo pie crust. {if you want to be really adventurous you can make one... but i was feeling lazy.}

freeze for at least 2 hours. 

hard, huh? SO good though. 

Okay, so now that I'm fatter I think I'm done with this post. :P

‎"Be believing, be happy, don't get discouraged. Things will work out."

Words to live by. Easier said than done, my friends.

Things I adore, Things I'll do...

Hey, I've missed you!

Instead of a post, I give you....

A blog update!

I added an "I adore...." tab. {at the top under my banner}

and 

I added an "I will do...." tab. {at the top under my banner}

I've been working on both of them for a while. 

You know me... I love lists.

Maybe I'll add my kissing list too. What say you?

Also, I added a vote. Guess when my baby niece will be born!

So... Go vote! {on the top right side column}

Also, I might be out of the blogging world for a couple weeks 'cause of some things. We'll see.

Unless my niece is born, and then I'll for sure blog about at least her! Because, she's going to be my greatest love! I can't wait to snuggle her and kiss her little toes.
Honestly, I've never been more excited for anything in my whole life. Not even going to Europe this summer.... and that's saying something!

I'm just having an inner battle. NBD

you know those times when 

your heart tells you one thing.

your mind tells you another.

and 

your spirit tells you something else?

And you honestly just have no idea how to get them to agree and do the right thing?

Not that I'm experiencing this or anything.

Also, my institute teacher, Brother Hunsaker, is the best institute teacher ever. EVER! 

Most favorite religion class I've ever had. By far. 

I wish I had it everyday. 

Call me weird, but I love learning about my role in the church and in life. 

Anyways. I'm going to go and continue studying for art history and editing pictures for my midterm portfolio. I just needed a little break.

Funny Weekend Stories

This weekend was all around pretty funny.
I'm now going to share a few of them for you.

• I was making a few hundred cupcakes with my mom for ash's baby shower and I was goofing off and she said, "let's get down to business now." So, naturally, I start singing, "Let's get down to business, to defeat the Huns!" She doesn't say anything. About 5 minutes later {she thinks it was only 30 seconds but that's false. My story is more correct....} she excitedly says, "MULAN! that song is from Mulan." haha. it was great. I said, "you're so cool, mom" She responds, "I was thinking it was from Cinderella but then I changed my mind." haha. classic.
• Quinton at dinner tonight- Dad was talking about politics I do believe. Nothing out of the ordinary. Q says, "did you know that the unemployment rate in Japan is .01%?". Dad- "Last year at this time it was 16%! where did you hear that?" Q-"I saw it somewhere." Dad-"are you sure?" Q-"Oh, wait. Maybe that was the illiteracy rate...." Ashleigh cracked up so hard. Nathan had to calm her down 'cause he was scared her baby would come. haha
• Sunday school lesson today. I went to my dad's sunday school class. he teaches the 14 and 15 year olds I believe...? Anyways. several funny things happened here. First-One of the kids was bragging about how he kissed a cheerleader after the state championship basketball game because he promised if Orem won {GO TIGERS!} he would. something along those lines. So we find that he kissed her on the cheek. what a super star! haha. Another kid said somthing like "You're not 16! you can't date yet!" and kissing on cheek kid said, "I just kissed her, I didn't date her!" other kid- "lucky, my mom says i'm not allowed to kiss till i'm 18!" Wow. To be that young again. I don't envy them. Super awkward stage in life. Here's the thing though {attention men of all ages}- If you're going to kiss a girl, you should at least make it a good one! {but not till your mom says you can, of course.... :P}
• the other funny part of sunday school was something my dad said. For some reason he was talking about the bomb shelters and the drills they did when he was in high school and he said, "They'd give us this biscuit that tasted like it had been run over by a truck on the cement and had enough iodine in it that would help your thyroid not fall out in case of a nuclear bomb. Also they'd give you a cough drop that had enough sugar in it that would allow you to survive for 72 hours." I don't know where he comes up with some things. But, the kids totally believe him.... even though i'm 90% sure myself that it was made up.....?
• In sacrament meeting I was watching the little kids most of the time. I forget how distracting a family ward is compared to the dead silence of student wards. This little boy {about 2 probably} was playing with this girl {barely walking so around a year old} sitting on the bench behind him and they were getting too loud so the mom of the boy pulled him away and told him he needed to be "more reverent". He started crying and said relatively loud, "But I love her!" Oh, my, lucky, stars. How incredibly cute is that??? He's going to grow up to be a romantic! It was quiet frankly the cutest thing i've seen in a long time. I hope they get married one day. 
• at Ashleigh's baby shower, Quinton was helping to set up. Mom told Em and I to bring a baby picture as part of the shower thing. Quinton heard this and decided to bring his entire baby album. So while mom was setting the food table up, He proceeds to set up a whole chalkboard ledge full of his baby pictures. It was fantastic. Mom saw them and told him we didn't need a Quinton shrine at Ashleigh's baby shower. he said, and I quote, "Mom, I'm sure they will really want to see how cute I was as a baby." haha. And she got distracted and forgot to make him take it down, so they were up the whole shower. :D

So you can see. Here he is with his baby pictures.
 I'm not sure if he's pretending to be
a baby here, or if he's just acting weird.
Maybe all of the above?...

• There's at least 3-5 more. But, I think that's long enough for now.

**proud aunt moment time**

Caitlin told me at the baby shower that she changed her favorite color to Orange because that's my favorite color. *beaming*

Tonight at dinner Emilie asked if she could sit by her and she said "I want to sit by Brianna" 

being the favorite aunt- CHECK! 

This is one thing I got for my un-born, but incredibly beautiful niece-

"I love my aunt" In the heart it says,
"Incredible, beautiful, smart" and
underneath it says, "*contact info
available upon request."
:D So true. 

P.S. I went to Disneyland too..... {grandma, I really didn't}

Congrats to anyone who read that whole thing!

I'm pretty sure that Emilie is the only one who made it this far though. It was a novel of a post. And she loves novels. 

Well, It's time for bed.

XOXO
