This week is going to be a crazy one for me.
Hope you all have a GREAT week!!
Britt

Monday's Saying

For those days when I don't understand why things go the way they do...

 

Have a GREAT week!!

Britt

Monday's Saying

Okay sooo you know that feeling you get when you think you need to loose weight, but everyone tells you that your "just fine the way you are" or "if you loose anymore weight your going to blow away."
Today's saying reminded me of that...

I realize that I'm never going to be 130lb.

I mean come on! Me 130lbs, I'd look like I'm dying!

Bone structure has something to do with that... :)

The only time I've weighed that much in the last 2 years, was after my surgery.

Even then Tom C kept telling me I needed to go drink some milkshakes. :)

That being said, it's not that I'm not happy with what I weigh, I just want to loose a LITTLE bit of FAT. So that's the goal... I'd like to loose around 21lbs.

And yes before you ask, I can loose that and not be sick. 

It would put me around 150. At this point I'd even shoot for 155.

So my next goal?? Start using the gym membership that comes out of my paycheck every month. With Thanksgiving being this week, I think I'll wait till Monday next week.

Well hope everyone has a great SHORT week!!

Britt

Monday's Saying

So it's MONDAY!!!
We had a great weekend here. Saturday was Chili Cookoff 2012. The theme this year was storybook characters. So we had everything from Mrs. Piggle Wiggle to the whole cast of Snow White. I don't have pictures right now, but when I load them I'll post a few.
This year was by far the best theme, and time we've had since we moved here.
Sunday was a general men's meeting so there wasn't anything planned for during the day.
Sunday night was normal gathering, which I didn't make it to considering the fact that I had to be up @ 4 am. I have 2 more 4 am mornings until we head out to CA for my cousins wedding on Wednesday. 
I'm looking forward to seeing family we haven't seen in a long time! And enjoying a little bit warmer weather.

So today's saying is actually a poem... It reminds me of my Grandpa Billmeyer and all the times we went to the Library, Pet Store, Park, Grocery Store (for ice cream) and Recycle Center. The smallest things meant the most when I was growing up. Now that I'm older I appreciate all the things my grandparents did for me. They are the "Perfect" (since no one is perfect) example of a best grandparents a kid could have. 
Always loving, but firm at the same time. Anyway hope you all have a GREAT week!!

Britt

Monday's Saying

So... it's MONDAY!! And it's going to be a crazy Monday at that.
The plans for today you ask? Well from 4:45 am-10:45 am I'll be at the BRiCk working. After I get off work I'll head over to the auto body shop to drop off my car, that way I can get it fixed. Then at some point today, crossing fingers, I'll get my rental car. 
From 12:15 pm-4:00 pm, I'll be working at Meghan's school. Which I love doing!! 
After that, we got an invite to a Pampered Chef party that starts at 6:30.
I'm excited about the party. Hope the host of this party has a great party like I did! 
So it's going to make for a crazy busy fun day. 

Today's saying is:

 

Feelings so easy to hurt, but so hard to mend.

Hope you guys have a GREAT week!!

Britt

Monday's Saying

So here is today's saying. When I read the saying, I smiled.

Since there was a wedding Saturday it seemed like a good time to post this.

Waiting for the right guy is the most important thing.

Even if that means it takes a long time, or that I'm single forever. The Lord has a perfect plan for my life, and I should never rush his timing.

As to the wedding, it was BEAUTIFUL!! So simple but so elegant.

Aubrey was a radiant bride, and as one of my little friends kept saying, she was a princess.

It was so nice having everyone here to help celebrate.

And as bad as this is going to sound, it was nice not having to do the wedding cake : ) 

Such a relaxing weekend.
Next month we are going out to CA to do my cousins wedding cake, so we'll have plenty to do then.

Next on the schedule... GIRL'S CAMP!!! I'm not excited or anything ; )

Well hope everyone has a great week!!

Britt

Monday's Saying

So I found a saying I REALLY liked  a few days ago...



It's one of those sayings that reminds you, nobody is perfect. If you start thinking everything is perfect it's time to take a step back, and take another look.

Meghan had a Choir concert on Friday at one of the local high schools and they all did a really good job. It was amazing how well they did, considering that school has only been in for 4 1/2 weeks. Some of the songs the audience really got into.

We are going to head out to the fair today, as soon as I get off work & my car's done being detailed. We went one year right after we moved into this house, but haven't gone back since. Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us. Saturday & Sunday it was in the 40's all day. WAY to cold for me!!

This weekend was Robber's Cave Camp. We didn't go since my dad was out of town this weekend. Next weekend is Aubrey Welborn & Eric Cabrera's wedding. It's going to be at Texas Wesleyan University, which has a really neat hall for weddings and stuff. The following weekend is Girl's Camp. Can't wait for that! If my schedule get's changed from what it has been, I'm switching shifts with someone. Cause I HAVE to go!! It's alway fun watching the younger girl's, and spending time getting to know them.

School is going okay. I have 1 more exam until I start my next class, and once this semester is over I have one more to go. It's been fun but I'm ready to be done with school.

Well hope everyone has a GREAT week!!
Britt 

Closet Organization

So I decided at 10:30 I was going to clean up my closet. 
It wasn't a mess per say, it just was messier then I wanted it to be. 
Plus when important papers can't even be filed away, somethings wrong. 
So I didn't take any before pictures, but here are the after pictures.

I'll probably move some stuff around but I am happy for right now. :) 

Hope everyone is having a good week!

Britt

What a weekend!

Well I know it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. We've been kinda busy with school starting, plus camp being this last weekend. So camp was AWESOME!! Enjoyed every moment that I got to be there. Today not so much... Almost everyone I've talked to came down with a flu bug this weekend, so now we're all throwing up. At our house it's Meghan, my dad, and I who are the ones throwing up. Thankfully my mom and Parker haven't gotten it yet. I'm praying that the ones who have it REALLY bad will be better soon. Polly Roy has it the worst I think, cause she ended up at the hospital.
Other then the after affects of camp we had a good time seeing everyone from out of town.

Since I wasn't home all day yesterday I'll do Monday's Saying today.

Monday's Saying

So today was one of those days you wish you could just crawl back into bed and restart.
With my Grandma Jean being here my room is the guest room. Sooo to not disrupt my sister's sleeping with my 6 am wake up, I decided I would sleep on the couch. Which went fine on Saturday night. Last night, not so much. I woke up at 4:30 thinking I had overslept my alarm. Then again at 5:30. By 5:55 I was done, so I got up and got ready to go. Then at the end of my day when I went to go leave work, well lets just say my car had other ideas. It wouldn't start. I was soo tired and ready to go home, that I burst into tears. Crazy I know, but that's one thing that makes me emotional. I went back into work and just chilled in the AC, and my dad was able to come to my rescue a few hours later. Momma had taken Grandma to see IKEA and return some stuff, so she couldn't come save me. After a YUMMY dinner, Daddy & I went back to see what we could figure out. And of course it started right up!! I was calling my car not nice names on the back home. Bad of me I know. So tomorrow we are doing a ladies lunch for Grandma. I won't be able to be there because of work but I'll see if my mom can take pictures.
So today's saying is:
Remind yourself it's okay not to be perfect.
I have to remember this...
Hope everyone has a good week!! Tomorrow we are going on a field trip to the Cowboy's Stadium.
It will be a interesting day.  

Monday's Saying

So I better write something before it its no longer Monday. :)
Hope you all had a great weekend! Week 7 of Summer Camp started today. Only 4 more weeks left, then back to a "normal" schedule. Anyway here is the saying for today.
Don't expect to see positive changes in your life, if you surround yourself with negative people.
Have a great rest of the week!!
Britt

Monday's Saying

I'm in VA for the week and enjoying my first 3 days here. Today we just stayed at the house. Tomorrow we are going swimming. Can't wait!!

Monday's Saying

I don't have a saying for today. But I do have a picture to post. It's of my grandparents. Looking at the picture it makes me think of all the different things my grandparents did for us kids. Like the trips to the park, library, pet shop, super market & the recycle center with grandpa. Going to work at the pre-school with grandma & my aunt Bonnie was always LOTS of fun. Grandma always had spearmint gum in her purse. As I get older I appreciate all the times they were there. They always showed they loved me. Even If I was being naughty (which was more times then not) they still loved me. I'm thankful for the relationship we have had and the influence they have had on my life.

Monday's Saying

So I know it's not really Monday anymore but I wanted to post something anyway.
Monday was a busy, fun, exciting day.
My day started off at 6:00 a.m.. Summer Camp started today and I have the early morning shift. 6:45 - 2:45, I was at the rec. center watching 24, 8-9 year olds with my 2 co-counselors. I enjoy the morning shift, even though it's WAY TO early to be waking up for me. :)
Summer Camp will be going 11 weeks so, I'll be pretty busy this summer. I have a couple trips planned while I'm busy being busy.
After work I came home then was off again to Lowe's to buy Tomato Cages for my mom.
FYI her garden is looking good. :)

The best part of my day was at 7:00 p.m. April & I had made plans to go out for a early birthday dinner to The Melting Pot. For those of you who are wondering, The Melting Pot is a REALLY good Fondue restaurant.

It was so yummy!!! I'd never been to a Fondue place before. April & Shawn had gone a couple months ago, so it was April's second time. Shawn, April & the kids are going to be gone during my birthday so, we had to do something before they left. Needless to say we had a really good time being able to talk, and not having to worry about anything. (Shawn watched all the kids so we could go out just the two of us.) It was a great way to end a busy day. :)

Tuesday is our first field trip for summer camp so we'll see how that goes. We're going to the Fort Worth Stock Yards this week. It's always a little crazy the first few weeks of camp, but we'll figure it out. 

Here is the saying for this week. It's one I enjoy reading when I see it. It's something that reminds me in a fun sort of way, to wait for the "right" guy that the Lord has for me.


Anyway... hope everyone has a great week!! I'm off to bed since it's going to be another busy day. ;)
Britt

Monday's Saying

Before you act, listen. 
Before you react, think. 
Before you spend, earn. 
Before you criticize, wait. 
Before you pray, forgive. 
Before you  quit, try.


I don't know about the rest of you but I had a good weekend. Friday was a normal day of working and sing. Saturday I worked in the morning, then in the afternoon/evening, I went to a Gaither Homecoming Concert with Shawn, April & Clark. 

The songs were so uplifting and had thought provoking messages in them. One of my many favorites that night, was sung by The Isaacs. 


For dinner we went to a fish restaurant in downtown Fort Worth, called Daddy Jack's. The food was really good! After dinner, we went back to Shawn & April's for Creme Brule. 


Sunday we all found out that Ron Gavitt went home to be with the Lord. As each person shared a memory they had of Mr. Gavitt, it was a sad but rejoicing time. Pray for the family as they go through this rough time in their lives.


I am looking forward to this week, and seeing where the Lord takes me. I woke up this morning singing and thanking him for the day. (even though it was WAY to early to be up) 


Hope everyone has a great week!

Monday's Saying

We can't live a positive life, with a negative mind.
How true that is. Sorry it's been awhile. Things have been busy here. We got back last week from a cruise to the Western Caribbean. 
We drove from Texas to Tampa, Florida on April 13th, then set sail April 15th. 

Our stops were in Cozumel, Mexico, Belize City, Belize, Mahogany Bay Isla of Roatan, Honduras, George Town Grand Cayman. We'd been to Cozumel & Grand Cayman, but not Belize or Isla of Roatan. 

  If we could do the same cruise again without Belize we would do it again. It's not that Belize was TERRIBLE it just wasn't what we had expected. Coming home was tiring, because we were already tired and we all had to either go back to school or work Monday morning. It was a fun trip and I can't wait until we get to go again! Which for us kids will be in 2 years. For those of you who don't know, every other year us kids get to go on the cruise with my parents for their anniversary. This year was their 28th. So on their 30th we'll go again.

School is almost out so things are going to get busy at work soon! 

Hope everyone has a good week!  

Monday's Saying

Okay sooo I know it's not Monday, but I had a lot going on yesterday and couldn't post.
Here is Monday's saying:

Don't change so people will like you.
Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.

So yesterday was a pretty fun day.
I went to work with a torn tendon and a small fracture, and ended the day with a splint in my finger.
That's right I said IN my finger. I have a small piece of wire that is heavy duty, working to keep my finger straight.
I guess maybe I should start at the beginning.
Friday was the last day of our Spring Camp at work, and around 12:00 my group was in the gym.
Well all week my co-counselor along with one of our campers, had been throwing a football whenever we were in the gym.
On Friday we were doing the same thing.
Only this time it didn't end with us just going to the pool and everyone being okay.
The camper went to block me from getting the ball, and being the competitive person I am, I went to try and get it anyway. I wasn't going to let a 13 year old boy beat me. :)
Well he hit it but didn't catch it. So I still had a chance. When the ball hit my finger it was still going pretty fast. I caught the ball but pretty soon after I could tell something was wrong.
My finger hurt like CRAZY!! I thought I had just jammed it so I went about trying to pop it back into place.
Welllll it wasn't popping anyway I pulled, so I just left it.
That afternoon when I got home it was still hurting, but I could deal with the pain.

Around 5 I finally broke down. It hurt SO bad and I didn't know what was wrong.
So I took a picture of my finger and sent it to my dad (he wasn't home at the time)

He told me to go to CareNow and get it looked at.
So off we went. Mommy & Meghan came with me.
2 1/2 hours later they told me I had a torn tendon, and a small fracture where the bone had pulled away with the tendon. They also told me I needed to have surgery because it wouldn't fix it's self.
So I went all weekend in a splint not being able to do a whole lot.

Monday I was able to call the hand surgeon, and get a emergency appointment for that afternoon.
So around 4:50 we (mommy & meghan) walked into the office, and by 7 something we (mom, dad & meghan) were walking out.
The Dr. drilled a piece of wire into the bone, then bent my finger so the wire would hold my finger straight. It was kinda cool to watch cause I couldn't feel ANYTHING. If I had been able to feel a single thing I think I would have been throwing up.
It's kinda weird knowing you have a piece of wire IN your bone.

I'll go back in 10 days just to make sure everything is okay. Then it will be about 3 weeks before they will do anything. They want to make sure my finger is straight before they finish.

So hope you enjoy the saying, and hope everyone has a GREAT week!!

Monday's Saying

Hope everyone had a good weekend! I started a new part time job last Monday, and I am enjoying it a lot. Saturday we helped Shawn & April move over to the new house. It's a REALLY cute house! I have 4 more exams to go then I'm finished with this semester. I'm trying to hurry and finish before our cruise. Think I can do it? :) So here is today's saying:

Your beliefs don't make you a better person,Your behavior does.

Hope everyone has a great week. 

Monday's Saying

So first of all, hope you all had a great weekend!
Things have been busy but good around here.
I'm enjoying life to it's fullest everyday.
Eight more exams to go, and then I'm finished with my second semester in school!!
I can't wait to finish and go on to the next semester.
So here's today's saying....
Never take someones feelings for granted 
because you never know how much courage that they took to show it to you.

Monday Sayings

Here's today's saying...

The smile on my face doesn't mean my life is perfect.

It means I appreciate what I have and what God has blessed me with.

Sorry...

It's been awhile since I've posted. Things have been busy this month.
So I'll do a update on almost everything.
Starting at the beginning of the month...
January 10th, my mom had surgery. She's doing much better and is well on her way to a full recovery.
That same week, my dad took a trip out to CA on the weekend to see my Grandma.
January 11th, I went over to the Yeokums house for a lunch day. Whitney was in town and she wanted to have some of the girls over. We had a great time eating and playing games.

January 19th, we went to the Stock Show and has fun as always. There was quite a few people there who we knew, so it made it even more fun trying to find them in the crowd.

Then on January 21st we were going to go to San Antonio, but plans changed. So we went to the Museum of Nature & Science in Dallas instead.

January 24th I had a interview at the local recreation center. 

I haven't heard back from them, so I'm still applying for part time jobs. 

Yesterday thru tomorrow I'm going to be staying with Blair & Ashley Roy. 

We always have a great time together and I enjoy being with them.

School for me hasn't been going as well as I wanted it to this semester. I have a English class right now that I'm not enjoying at all. So, because I'm not enjoying it I'm trying to do everything but school. 

The one good thing about that is I'm reading the bible a lot more. 

Now if I could just find a balance between the two...

I think that's everything that's happened this month so far this month...

Oh wait! Natalie Casler & Scott Payton are engaged! June 2, 2012 is the big day.

Okay I think that's it. :)

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!
