I was looking through pictures on my computer and found some that i had to chuckle at i thought i would share them with you.
This is Luke and I on the cruise, he proposed three times I post this because Luke is now married. ah the life we could of had.

Midge remember that night when the whole house was silent and no one was up, except this horse? freaky. oh and Hey Brice-man you are a stud. with those little muscles of yours.

This is me and my mentor Latricia after our Fall Fest skit. Yes i'm quite proud of the poster she is holding.

This is the guy that took the pictures of me in the boots that you all don't like. His name is Ian Holman Briscoe; he is a liberal democrat. He talks a whole lot of smack and beat me in a foot race.

Decisions

A while ago i called our mother dearest and was asking her to work through my latest decision with me. The choice between Track and Softball. (i know hard choice). After talking with Mum i've come to the decision to do both. My reasoning is Softball is fun, I have friends who play and i think it would be good to play again (provided i make the team). However, if my teammates all turn out to be lesbians in the first couple of weeks i may locate myself elsewhere. something about softball in college brings everyone out of the woodwork. (uck) TRACK however, Jay is the coach and is kinda making it mandatory for soccer players so i didn't have a choice on that one. I have been thinking about positives to this i'll be in shape for summer... ???

V-Day, Elder Bringhurst, School

Single Awareness Day was Monday. Until 1:00 i was pretty confident i was single, until i received two dozen pink tipped white roses. The culprit...? i have no idea who, however the positive is i have three dozen roses smelling up Kells and my room. (the other dozen came from Patrick). So roses mean different things (i had no idea) so here is a little info for you.

red passion, love, respect, courage, congrats

Red roses are the traditional symbol for love and romance, and a time-honored way to say "I love you." The red rose has long symbolized beauty and perfection. A bouquet of red roses is the perfect way to express your deep feelings for someone special.

pink romance, admiration, sweetness

As a symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as an expression of admiration. Pink roses can also convey appreciation as well as joyfulness. Pink rose bouquets often impart a gentler meaning than their red counterparts.

yellow welcome, welcome back, friendship, caring, joy

The bright, sunny color of yellow roses evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. The warm feelings associated with the yellow rose are often akin to those shared with a true friend. As such, the yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship.

white innocence, purity, secrecy, worthiness

White roses represent innocence and purity and are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings. The white rose is also a symbol of honor and reverence, and white rose arrangements are often used as an expression of remembrance.

orange desire, enthusiasm, pride

With their blazing energy, orange roses are the embodiment of desire and enthusiasm. Orange roses often symbolize passion and excitement and are an expression of fervent romance. A bouquet of orange roses will send a meaningful message.

lavender Deep Adoration, Majestic, Opulent

The unique beauty of the lavender rose has captured many hearts and imaginations. With their fantastical appearance, lavender roses are a perfect symbol of enchantment. The lavender rose is also traditionally used to express feelings of love at first sight.

BTW (by the way) Reed was transferred after spending 7 1/2 months in Winston-Salem he is now heading to Charlotte to the Carmel ward. We dropped him off at his transfer meeting, and picked up the new elder from Mesa, AZ.

recent quotes/conversations

"So you are religious?" yes i'm a Mormon. "Oh so shouldn't you be in one of those things?" (imagine hand gestures around his head, and then crossed himself) I'm not a nun i'm a Mormon. -thank you Aaron.

Class Monday "College is not the time to think, its the time to dream and if you are going to dream, dream big." thank you professor. fast forward to later in Mondays class "Miss Bringhurst what are you doing?" ... "Dreaming big."

School is officially in full swing and i find myself in 4 yes count them 4 Exercise Science classes. Which include two of my new found favorites. Nutrition, and Philosophy of Coaching. i've never wanted to be a coach but the more i pay attention the more it appeals to me. In my PhilCo class we had to pick a coaching book to read, i chose The Man Watching by Tim Crothers its phenominal it is about Anson Dorrance, UNCs Soccer coach. The language is not for the feint of heart but everything else is good.

Nutrition so fun fact for those of us that are constantly looking for a way to keep our abs in check, and our pop-bellies at bay. Sit-ups and crunches don't help until that "unmentionable" other layer aka Fat is gone. Doing those ab workouts only build up the muscle underneath and actually cause your little belly to stick out further. (Like after thanksgiving)

Among Nutrition, and PhilCo you find, Motor Development, Team PE Games, and Prevention and Care of Athletic Injuries. I love my schedule it's a lot of reading and a lot of information but it's worth it.
