New Facebook Page!

I now have a facebook page for my blog!!!! I am trying to figure out how to put a side box on here, but you can check it out HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE. :) Please visit and like my page, pretty please :)

Oh and grab my new button! I promise that it will stay the same from now on! No more changes now that I FINALLY love my blog!

Happy Tuesday!

I love to color my hair. I get SO bored with it staying the same all the time so I just have to change it up somehow. I have had dark hair for a while now, but a couple months ago I decided to get it lightened up a bit since it was summer and I was starting to miss my blonde hair. Well 2 weeks ago I started getting the urge to do something to it again. Then, I got the fabulous idea to put red streaks in it!! Yeah! I found this beautiful red by Manic Panic called "Red Passion." I couldn't put too much in because of work, and it's a good thing I didn't! Red passion ended up being a party of pink in my hair. Now, don't get me wrong because I LOVE it, I just was expecting red. It looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself. So last week I decided to add a few more streaks since I was off for a few days, thinking that it would fade some before I had to work yesterday. Well, it didn't. it still is pink and fabulous. :) Luckily my managers didn't say anything, except one told me my hair looked cool. Ha. Right on! Since I'll be off for a while around the 4th of July (which I can't wait for my favorite holiday!!) I think I might add some more! Woot Woot! I need to get a good picture of it now I can post it on here!

In other news, I have 2 blogs for you guys to follow! The first one is my brother's blog. He is doing an internship in Honduras with some missionaries for the summer. He has a blog so we can stay updated as much as possible with what he is doing. You can check that out HERE! Keep him in your thoughts and prayers while he is gone.

Second, my girl Edelis has a blog about life with twin girls and a drama queen (as she says :)). We met online at a mom's website when we were both pregnant. Her twins and Miss Murray are the same age. So take a look at her BLOG and follow her! Tell her I sent ya :).

Now, I am going to leave you with a song that i can't get out of my head today. Perhaps because I was talking about Sarah Palin (Please run sarah!!) earlier and I was thinking about Alaska...this was the theme song her her show "Sarah Palin's Alaska." Enjoy :)

 

Feel Good Friday!

This past weekend I was in DC for Memorial Day, which was awesome. For a patriotic person like me, there is no better place!!! We went to the National Memorial Day Concert dress rehearsal and it was soo good! Kris Allen sang "God Bless the USA" and it was so awesome seeing him thank the troops! So, since I didn't have a Memorial Day post, here is a video of Kris Allen. Happy Friday and God Bless our troops!!!

The year I graduated high school

So yesterday I was listening to my Backstreet Boys pandora station and one of my ALL-TIME favorite songs (and yes I said one of my favorites) started playing. Wondering what song that was? Well, obviously it was this!

 Yes, I admit, I am a Hanson fan. Now before you go running away thinking that this post is all about boybands (although there might be a little more of that...IDK yet), bear with me for a minute. I need to tell you this little story. A few years ago my baby cousin Megan and I were going somewhere and I had my ipod jamming over the radio. MMMBop came on and I was dancing and singing like a fool while Megan sat there staring at me (which is normal haha). What she said next SHOCKED me! She said "Brittany, what IS this song???" I seriously flipped. How could she NOT KNOW what MMMBop was! Now, Megan is 5 years younger than me, so of course she didn't really know who Hanson was.

So, what is my point? Well my little cousin Megan is graduating high school tomorrow and this means it's been 5 years since I graduated high school!!! Insane! So here are some interesting things that happened the year I graduated in 2006.

 Blu-Ray Discs were introduced

Lady Antebellum formed!

ABC hosted it's last NFL game with the Super Bowl XL

Katie Couric became the first female solo anchor of the CBS Evening News

Hannah Montana phenomenon started

Italy won the Fifa World Cup

Sadam Hussein was hanged.

(He's not worthy of a picture)

Bad Day by Daniel Powter was the top song in 2006.

SexyBack was number 9 :)

Grillz was number 12. Who remembers that one?

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was the top movie.

The top celebrity was Tom Cruise.

George Clooney was voted Sexiest Man Alive

(TOTALLY AGREED)

Angelina Jolie was Most Beautiful Person

Taylor Hicks (wait, he was famous for how long??) was voted Hottest Bachelor...

My pick was Jake Gyllenhaal.

And just because I love my bloggy readers,

here is another Jake pic.

You're welcome.

 I'm pretty sure he know's he is SMOKIN HOT in this one.

Now that I have regained my composure (why is Jake so hot???), what are some things you guys remember about the year you graduated???

And HAPPY GRADUATION MEGAN! I love you!!!

Has it really been a year?

Last year on May 26 I started this blog so my then boyfriend would be able to stay up with everything going on since he was in New Orleans and I was here in SC. I can't believe it's been that long!! I've been TERRIBLE at keeping up with my blog, but I am just going to keep trying! So, what has happened in the past year? I went to NOLA for a second trip in the beginning of June. I thought it was great. But, then there was the giant breakup I had with Chip. That wasn't fun. A year later and I still occasionally get upset about it. It's a big change when you think you'll spend the rest of your life with someone and then they suddenly change their mind... It was hard! But, I have incredible family and friends that helped me through it. PLUS, because of him I  met some of the most amazing people ever! I absolutely consider them some of my best friends! SO, what else? I had a Twilight birthday party, one of my best friends since I was itty bitty got married, had my keys stolen at work, dressed up as Snooks for halloween, saw another friend (and Murray's godfather) get married, got to see Danielle and her sweet family before Christmas, Murray turned 2 which I never blogged about, we went to Universal Studios in Orlando and had SOO much fun and now here we are in May! My sweet little cousin is graduating from high school this week (It's been 5 years since I graduated!!), we're going to DC this weekend, and I already have my next New Orleans trip planned for August!

So, hopefully I can get this blog to be a regular thing for me again!! I miss blogging!!!

 

Just going to keep trying...

but I have been TERRIBLE about updating my blog!!! I really am going to try to keep up with it better! So about 3 weeks ago we (Murray, me and our friend Tamara) went and met some of my friends in Orlando. It was   a blast! We went to Universal Studios to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Now, you have to understand that I am a complete and true Twihard...I know (knew) NOTHING AT ALL about Harry Potter. I didn't have any interest in watching or reading the movies, so when Danielle asked me to go, i was just like sure I can just go and hang out with some awesome friends! So that was my plan, and if I had time to watch the movies before I went, ok. So Thursday night I had a class, but Murray, Tamara and myself left afterwards about 9pm. We drove through the night, which was interesting...it honestly wasn't a bad drive though. We got there about 5:30 AM and went to meet Danielle and her family at their hotel room. We decided to all get ready and go get breakfast (and COFFEE) before we headed to the park. Here are the two cuties of the morning...

When I say that these two love each other, I'm not kidding. Murray is completely lovesick for her Harper! Here's a group shot from day 1...

 It was pretty chilly that day!!! We had fun. We had lots of  Butterbeer and saw so much Harry Potter stuff...they had me convinced I needed to see the movies!!! That night our friends Kristen, Matt and their little boy Micah joined us. It was so fun getting to see everyone! We went to dinner and went to BED haha! I was exhausted by the end of Friday!!! Saturday we got up and went to breakfast again before the park. We headed to the Dr. Seuss part of the park and we rode some fun kiddo rides. 

This was me and my girly after the Cat in the hat ride...she loved it. During it, she looked at me and said "Mama WEEEE!" We went back to Harry Potter for a while and rode some more rides...it was really fun and the kids were so good!!!  It was a long day, but so fun!

Group shot!!! I love all these people!!! True friends are hard to come by, but these people are as good as it gets right here!!! 

And just me, Kristen and Danielle.

 Can't wait to do it again!!!!! :)
