So, funny story. UPDATED

My life hasn't been as un-enventful lately. You can probably tell because I haven't blogged in over a week. Very unlike me.

I learned last week at church in my home ward just how many people read my blog. So that was interesting. Made me hope I haven't put anything too embarrassing on here. :P

This post will be about a few funny stories of the last week.

first one was at work.

I was giving the person on the express lane a break {as in I took over their register so they could go chill in the break room or do whatever} and I ring this lady up and then she pulls out 5 100 dollar bills. and she gave them to me!!! JOKE! she totally didn't. that would have been cool though. No, she asked me if I could give her 500 1 dollar bills for them. I literally laughed out loud because lets be honest, I thought she was joking! But she got mad at me for laughing at her! And then she was upset when I told her I didn't have that many.

I have a question for you.

How many 1 dollar bills do you think I have in my till?

A- 13
B-25
C- 56
D- 70



Okay, if you answered B or C you'd be closest. I usually don't ever have more than 56. most of the time it's probably around 30.
I don't know why she thought I had 500 1's.... but, no, I don't. It was slightly entertaining.

After Betsy's bridal shower, chowing down. 

Next- the story of Lauren putting oil in her car. so it's not really that funny of a story, but kind of. We were in Logan, for Betsy's bridal shower and her car says 15% oil. Or something like that. So we end up going to walmart and getting oil to put in it. the best part was that she wanted me to photograph the whole thing. So I did. Sara was helpful in holding the lid of the oil. It was a success too. At least I think. I mean, we made it home fine. So obviously the oil went in the right place.




Man, sometimes we do such manly things! We rock!
Also, this one time I totally changed my blinker light bulb all by myself with my dad's instructions. But that was a random side note.

Next story- Last night, Glen {remember this, and this, and this? yeah, that same Glen.} and I went out on a little date to Salt Lake. It was a blast and a half. I'm not blogging about that whole thing, at least right now {because we did a lot of stuffs}, just a particularly funny story from it.







As part of the night we went to this concert. I enjoyed it, I think he did to. We were going out of the building and were taking a picture of ourselves and then he asked this lady if she'd take our picture for us. So this lady takes one



{flash on, because its dark} and she looks at it and says "oh, you guys need a better one. So you can see the temple in the back" So she proceeds to turn the flash off. {in my head I'm thinking, that's not going to work, it's too dark} so she takes another one after I help her turn the flash off, playing along.



Called it, blurry. lady says, "Oh! I can't hold still enough I guess. Do you have a night time mode? You guys are so cute, you need a good one!" {I think to myself, night time mode still isn't going to work, but this is funny, most people aren't this dedicated to getting a picture for a random couple.} So she takes another one in night mode.



still blurry. she says, "Let me try that one, one more time." So Glen and I smile again, but they were like real real smiles cause we were kind of laughing. Too bad you can't see them very well.

you can kind of see our extra reals smiles...


So that one was blurry too. And then she decides that the flash was the best option after all {which is why I had it on that setting in the first place hahahaha.} and she decides that even though she already did one on flash, she'd do one more.



So we got our last and final picture. i'm pretty sure she would have taken another one, but I reassured her I knew how to use photoshop so I could lighten the temple to make it work. {which i wasn't really planning on,} but just to make the series complete, I did a quick job of it. So, the final product of a few minutes of Glen and I getting our pictures taken from this really nice and concerned lady-

It doesn't look good lightened.... but, at least you
can see the temple more like the lady was so concerned about!


It was kind of awesome. Glen and I walked away smiling and laughing about the situation. I enjoyed it immensely.

Next, and final. Tonight at dinner, we had chocolate milk. Gemma kept reaching for the food and dad dipped his finger in the chocolate milk and let her try it! Ash says that everything else they've let her just take a taste of she didn't like at all. No, she LOVED the chocolate milk! she pretty much attacked it! So he gave her a little more. and a little more. and she kept grabbing his cup and was sucking on the cup! Ash finally said no more and she cried when she couldn't get anymore. Nathan said they're going to start putting nesquick powder in her formula. haha. Ash didn't think it was funny though. So, Dad was right, Gemma's going to love chocolate milk.
She recorded it on her phone, but I don't have that video. But, I do have a video of another darling thing Gemma is doing now.

Enjoy.



UPDATED!!! Ash sent me the video and pictures.

The story of my niece {with the cutest name there ever was}. As told by her favorite aunt.

Where should I start?
The beginning is always a good place to start.

May 2009- Ashleigh graduated from high school. I told her I wanted 2 things from her: For her to get married and give me a baby niece {not a nephew for we both want to name our first sons James}

May 2010- I graduate from high school. And I keep telling her I want the same thing.

Summer 2010- She develops little crush on her boss, Nathan.

fall 2010- this crush turns into a relationship.

January 2011- Ashleigh gets engaged and the first part of my wish is coming true

March 2011- Ash and Nathan wed in the salt lake city, LDS, Temple.

april-september- wishing ash would tell us she was pregnant.

August- the big announcement that they're having a baby

november- Find out that it's indeed a girl. none of this nephew nonsense.

March- march comes and goes. No baby.

April 1- I have to go back home to Logan.

April 2-

I wake up, feel refreshed. No sign of baby. I'm in my room getting dressed to head to my first class.

10:07 am- ring ring. it's ash. I have a mini heart attack. "hello?"  "are you ready to be an aunt?" She tells me she's at the hospital and my niece will be here by dinner. {she was at a 4}

10:26- schedule the studio at school for friday to do her pictures.

11:05- leave Logan. Drive like a maniac. never driven so fast in my whole life.

12:55- I arrive at the hospital. Go see ash and nathan. I document the room and the nurse checks her. she went from a 5 to an 8 in half an hour!

1:48- rest of the family get here. They all talk to her.

2:10- we all leave the room.

2:10 - Nurse comes to check her. She's a 10!!

2:22 pm. 3 nurses run into room 4. "this baby's coming!" the doctor wasn't even in the room. he was chillin at the nurse's station. what the heck, doctor? this is my sister!! can you please go make sure she's okay??????

2:24 pm. grandpa cobb looks incredibly nervous. he has a completely blank expression on his face just looking down the hall.

2:25- she's crowning. nurse is giggling on the phone telling the doctor he should get in there.

2:31-nurse on the phone says they're telling her not to push.

2:36-Doctor went into her room.

2:37- she was born. After 1 push! the nurse said "she was meant to have babies.  She shot that baby out!"

2:40- I am writing this and am sooooo incredibly anxious!!

2:45- make baby weight guesses-

me- 7 11
Quinton- {between 6 and 12 pounds was what he said first} his real guess- 7 15
mom- 8 2
dad- 7 12
grandpa- 7 8
emilie- 7 7
grandma- 7 5.5

her real weight 6 pounds 13 ounces. 19 inches. We all over guessed. She's a little petite thing.

Gemma Petrea {puh tray uh} Nye.

3:15 ish we got to go see her for the first time.

yes, I cried. She was blowing bubbles and kept sticking her tongue out. sooo cute!!

My lucky stars this little girl stole my heart. I knew she would. But it's hard to imagine that she's here. I've been waiting my whole entire life for ash to have a baby! And she's cute too!

Well a little later. probably around 4:15 they brought her to the nursery and she was tortured! the poor thing had to get a shot in her little tiny thigh! and her foot pricked! and she screamed her tiny lungs out! And I wanted to cry too! And then when i thought it was over they gave her a total scrub down. And she hated that too. It was not fun to watch through the window.

Then. Finally. I got to hold her!!

I finally, at last, got to hold this tiny angel who just came straight from heaven! And she looked right at me.

look at her cute lil hairs! :D
she is a really really alert baby. she hasn't slept at all yet! she was looking around the whole time and trying to eat her hand and anything that came in contact with her mouth.

And then we said goodbye so mamma ashleigh could feed her. And don't you worry, I'll put some more pictures up later. :D

but here's one more, just for fun.

First family picture. Gemma is less than an hour old.

I LOVE being an aunt!

I have a cute lil niece named Caitlin. She is just a doll. She'll be 9 soon.

I kidnapped her last night and took her to Yogurtland. She'd never been to one of those places and she was soo giddy about it all. we got some sample cups, and she was so cute about trying them and deciding precisely what she wanted. She ended up getting dark chocolate, double cookies and cream, and i think peanut butter? And then 4 {yes 4} scoops of choc chips, 2 scoops of mini reeses pb cups, 1 scoop of brownie bites and 1 scoop of cheesecake bites. I'm pretty sure she had more toppings than ice cream. And i'm pretty sure her eyes were bigger than her little stomach because she made me eat the last 4 HUGE bites of her ice cream. haha.

the ice-cream up her nose


Oh, at yogurtland they have 3 colors of spoons. green, purple, and pink. they gave her a purple and she insisted on getting a pink one too. Her two favorite colors. :D


We had a sleepover and I did her nails with the water marble art way. She thought it was so cool that she told me, "you should be a nail-doer after you're done with college."
I told her I wanted to be a photographer and she responded, "you could take pictures of the nails after you do them!" haha. Isn't she so smart??

Things i learned-


  • 8 year olds are very impatient when waiting for nails to dry.
  • 8 year olds insist on setting a timer for the exact amount of 6 minutes 'cause apparently that's how long it takes for nails to dry.
  • when they're not dry in 6 minutes, 8 year olds will make you feed them chips and then laugh so hard because you're hand feeding them that most of the chips will come back out of their mouths.
  • 8 year olds will then want to do your brother's nails cause of how cool their own look. and he'll probably let you do one...
  • when taking a picture of them at yogurt land and you tell them to make a funny face, they'll purposefully rub ice cream on their face and then when they get it up their nose, they'll insist on blowing their nose and show you that they really did get it up their nose, even if you believed them in the first place. 
  • 8 year olds aren't that hard to put to bed when they're exhausted. 
I really had a lot of fun with her! :D
This morning we had breakfast together and she was going to shower because last night she smelt her armpits and said, "i forgot to wear deodorant today, I stink!" {i'm pretty sure i did not wear deodorant at 8....} But then she decided she didn't want to shower so i just did her hair instead. 

Today she came back over after my date with Taylor and she wanted to play 20 questions. First, she wrote out people, places, and things, on pieces of paper, then drew hearts around them and then made my dad cut them out. she put them in an envelope and we played with them. the people she had were-  me, her, ashleigh, and emilie. the places were-costco, provo, utah, and texas. Her things were- hair, banana, and bag. haha. It was super super funny. After we were done with her heart ones, she wanted me to make up a person and she'd guess who it was. It was hilarious. That girl has some attitude and can think of things to say really fast! 
We went to costco, and we looked at diamond rings, looked for samples {we were far too late} she picked out some socks for me, tried to do the code on the locks on the lockers on our way to the bathroom, and took 5x longer drying her hands after our potty break stop because the dryers were fun. 

On the way home from costco she licked an envelope to seal it and she said, "I thought it'd be cool to lick this, but i don't want to do that again because it tastes worse than boogers!" haha. then for the next 3 minutes she walked around with her tongue out of her mouth beacuse she could still taste it. She always keeps me laughing.

quinton's nails.
Mom made cookie dough before we went to Costco and we snuck out to the fridge in the garage several times and snuck spoonfuls. we came back in and she said, "grandma's coming! hide it behind your back!" even though i'm pretty sure "grandma" already knew. 

She is such a hoot! I wish I could play with her more often! but, I'm glad I got lots of time with her this weekend. 

It makes me so excited for ash and Nathan's baby to be here in less than 2 months!! :D 

Another niece. I can't wait!

also, I think i'm getting relatively close to figuring out her name. :D But she'd kill me if  I posted even my guesses up here. so ya'll will just have to wait till end of March.

Last Week of Freedom

Where to begin. First off, since i've began blogging more regularly about a year ago, my journal writing has suffered. I've written every day in my journal since the end of 9th grade. That hasn't changed. but what has changed is how well i write in it. My blog has become my journal of sorts. a lot of time i'll put a lot of detail into my blog and then when it comes to writing it in my journal I am extremely vague. I think it should probably be the other way around.....? So this year, i think i am going to work on this. I am still going to blog.... not because a lot of people read it or because it keeps my family updated on my life, etc.
But, because i honestly enjoy it. I'm a memory keeper. It's a part of the definition of Brianna. I think i've always been a very sentimental kind of girl and one of the most important things i have are memories. I hate goodbyes {and change [which is one reason Obama and i could never be friends....]}and writing things down and taking pictures help me hang on to those memories for forever. {there really is no better major for me than photography} Blogging just happens to be a way to keep them.
I want to print my blog into a book. I've heard of people doing that, but i don't know where to look. And i don't have a lot of money. {Ya know, because i'm going to germany! :D}

That was probably too long of an explanation, but, that's what i'm going to try for.

This past week has been a great one. It has gone by in the blink of an eye and for that, I am really sad. Christmas break was 3 weeks. Much has happened, i've had some great times, and tons of memories were made.

But as they say {whoever "they" are} "all good things come to an end" which is a statement i would like to prove very wrong someday. In fact, i WILL prove that wrong someday.

next item.

It's about this kid.

Is this not a handsome picture of him?


It seems that everyone has been asking me about "who Taylor is" lately {which i guess is a natural question} so I will tell you a little about this amazing man named Taylor.

I met Taylor the summer after i graduated high school. He was my new boss at work. And by far the most favorite boss I've ever had.

anyways, we gradually became really great friends over the next year. And now a year and a half later, I'd consider him one the best and greatest friends i've ever had and probably ever will have. When I'm in Logan we talk everyday on the phone. Usually for the time of hours, not minutes. Which always interferes with the recommended 8 hours of sleep i'm supposed to get, but I'm used to it now. When I'm home in Orem I'm pretty sure i take up most of his free time that he's not working and still talk on the phone the other times but i don't think he minds. And when none of those 2 are happening, we're usually texting. Thank heavens for unlimited texting.


Random facts about Taylor that I find interesting-

  • He despises the taste of lemon in his water. At restaurants where you get your own water out of the pop machine, he'll let the water run for a good 20 seconds before filling up his cup because the water thing is always with the lemonade. 
  • He's a horn honker in his car. He literally will honk for fun because he likes the sound of it. I always get embarrassed. 
  • He loves his mom more than anyone i've ever met. Not kidding you. It's something I admire greatly about him. And his mom is darling. I am a fan of her too. He has what he calls "mommy and me day" with her once a week or so. {p.s. it's quite entertaining to see them watch judge judy together}
  • you will never see his feet. In the year and a half I'v known him I've never seen them. And he assures me that I probably never will {don't worry, i will one day. It's a goal of mine}. Opposite of me. If i don't need shoes, i don't wear them. 
  • He served his mission in Toronto Canada and is beyond faithful to that country. Canada is brought up far to often in our conversations and I think that i may be able to sing you their National Anthem. yes, all 4 verses. I'm pretty sure if this kid ever got a tattoo, it'd be the red maple leaf. 
  • He has funny phrases that are 100 percent unique to him and loves to annoy me by answering my questions with questions of his own. And i catch myself saying them every once in a while.
  • his favorite ice cream is Huckleberry. Which i got lucky and bought that one time cause it sounded good and then when i offered him some he got excited because it was his favorite. 
  • He sings all the time and has a great memory when it comes to memorizing things. 
  • Dr Pepper and french fries are his cravings. guess what? Those are mine too. 
  • His favorite color is purple. And anything that is purple becomes his interest for that moment. Doesn't matter what it is. I've seen it from cars, to ugly dresses, to towels, to him talking about how he'd make the sky and grass purple if he could. 
  • His car always smells so good. Like a mixture of his cologne {acqua di gio [yes, i do know this]} and air freshener from his {purple} air freshener owl thing in his car. I don't know how he keeps the smell. I feel like my car's air freshener lasts all but 2 weeks. if i'm lucky. He must be talented. 
  • That i hardly ever take pictures of the things we do. My mom asked me why that is and i said "I have no idea. I think he just distracts me." {Taylor: we're going to work on this.}

Anyways, there's some info about this Taylor guy that I seem to talk/blog/think about a lot. The only other thing I'll say is about how happy I am when I'm with him And how sad I am when i have to say bye at the end of a date or night or when heading back to Logan. Except, Goodbye is not really what i should say in any of those cases because within about 2 minutes of him leaving or me leaving, my phone rings and it's him. Without fail. I love it. {the one time this didn't happen i thought he'd been in a serious accident and died a tragic death}


Anyways, I won't bore you with more about that. Although i could write a 200+ page book about it. haha But best stuff is going in my real journal. Because it's what means more to me. So, at 2am the morning i go back to Logan, i bid ado. 


p.s. Ashleigh and I finally got a taste of Louisiana at Bucket o' crawfish. 
we're secretely models because we are just
 that attractive in pictures like this. 


Next post will undoubtedly be about school. Sorry...
