Jaisey's First Snow :)

Here is a pic of our little kitten, Jaisey, experiencing her first snow :)

Letting her go...

We had to put our 13+ year old yellow lab to sleep yesterday {Tippy}. It was extremely hard however age was catching up with her and she was just getting worse. Her hips were giving out more and more everyday and along with that her hearing has been gone and her bladder was leaking. With winter coming she was just going to be more miserable. The hardest part was that she was still completely with us and in great spirits and still full of life. Letting her go was the best thing we could do for her. We had great times with her and she brought so much JOY & LOVE to our family, she was always there to cheer you up even if she was in trouble. You are missed Tippy and we know you are now with your best friend, Lucy. Lucy was our black lab that had to be put down 2 years ago. These two girls will forever hold a special place in our hearts!! >

"A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. It was really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not." - marley & me

Its Been So Long!

Wow I cannot believe its been so long since I posted. Summer has came and went now its fall! Actually half way through November. its crazy how fast this year is going.

I could really use some of the following about now...

Highs of 70s & 80s, warm breezes, flip flops and riding w. the top down...

All the above are signs that Summer is right around the corner :) I am so excited! Anyways, I am back to the blog world I have been super busy with school, lia sophia and hanging out with friends and family.

Heres a little update:

We got a new campsite at the campground. Its pretty sweet! Aubrey and I spent all week hanging up lights and cleaning up the site and inside the camper. This summer is going to be awesome! along with the new site we also got a boat last spring :)

I am also going to be watching Brooklyn and Tyler this summer and am getting included on their pool pass. So if I am not at the river I will be laying out at the pool!

Other plans for the summer:

Florida on wednesday June 16th with Anthony to see his brother, Seth.

OBX on Sunday June 20th with my whole family through the following Saturday

That first Sunday I am home my plane leaves at 9 a.m. for Milwaukee for the Lia Sophia conference! I am going to be really busy at the beginning of the quarter just traveling! Below are pictures of our new campsite. we are going to paint the camper and do a couple touchup but other than that its perfect!

5 and no more facebook :)

5 Things I am looking forward to:
-wednesday to be over! *SpringBreak
-hott weather
-Florida
-North Carolina
-SUMMER!

5 Things I did yesterday:
-woke up at aubrey and marks house
-went to the junk yard with Dad
-spent way too much time on facebook
-procrastinated studying
-played pole with Anthony, Theresa and Brian
5 Things I wish I could do:
-loose 10-15 pounds :(
-ace all my finals
-travel somewhere beachy and warm for spring break
-fix my scout
-eat icecream and not feel guilty or mad
5 Places I'd like to travel:

-Alaska
-Arizona
-Austrailia
-Florida

So today I deactivated my facebook account in order to prepare for finals, I am considering opening it back up during spring break then shutting it down for spring quarter. It is way too much of a distraction and i cannot afford to let it make my grades slip. So there will most likely be more blogging :) Hope everyone is having a great weekend and enjoys the week ahead

Lets Be Honest...

I haven't shaved my legs in 4 days
and I slept on the couch last night, just for the fun of it :)

Yesterday I bought my first gym membership and cannot wait to use it today with my bestie Kayla. However last night I ate a whole sleeve of Girl Scout Thin Mints, I just had to tell myself thats why I bought the membership!

I have been procrastinating like crazy here lately and its starting to bite me in the butt!

I havent developed a huge church-skipping habit on sundays. Last week I didnt go, week before I did, and who knows how many weeks before that I didnt go. This is not good! I used to go to church every Sunday. I am going to try to start doing that again.

Well I hope everyone is able to come out tell their own truths of the week :) It really helps you get stuff of your chest. I also hope everyone has a great weekend.

Love ALways
Britt

Free Jewelry & Disney on Ice

On saturday night we had a girls night out in columbus by going to see Disney on Ice :) Below is a collage of the majority of the pics I took. It you click on the pic you can view it larger and look around at the pictures. By the way I don't think I have mentioned how much I LOVE my zoom lens Mom and Dad got me for christmas!!! Its my new baby. Thanks Mom and Dad, xoxo


So as I mentioned a month ago I joined Lia Sophia! I am finally a qualified advisor! woot-woot (*doing a happy dance) along with getting qualified I have earned $325 in FREE jewelry!!! Below is the pieces I picked out. I am in love with my new charm bracelet.. probably has something to do with the fact thats its a beach charm bracelet and ofcourse everyone in Ohio would do any thing for warm weather and a day at the beach.

I also scored this Vera Bradley bag on their website for $40 after tax and shipping! SCORE and more happy dancing!

Well I hope everyone has a great week!

Love ALways,

Britt

a party and a new addition..

Last saturday I added a new member to our furry family :) we were at the reptile show in cbus and I came across this adorable little fur ball bunny rabbit. Ofcourse I had to bring her home!

sunday we had Miss Molly's bday party! It is so hard to believe she is already 3 years old. It seems like just yesterday we were waiting on the call to bring Maddie and Vincent to see their new little sister. She has grown into such a cute and very smart little girl :)

Here are some pics from when Molly was born until now :)
Tonight we are going to Disney on Ice in Columbus! Should be alot of fun :) Pics on Sunday!
Love Always,
Britt

{Project 365 - Day?}

haha well I kind slacked off on the 365 project but I am not giving up on it :)


So I got back sunday from doing Taryn and Alans wedding pictures in Asheville, NC at the Biltmore. So the pictures are more than enough to make up for the days I missed of the project :) I had a ton of fun on the trip and loved touring the Biltmore.

Some other exciting news and a big decision that I made this week was to become a Lia Sophia Advisor! I am so exciting about making a little extra money a month, getting tons of free bling and ofcourse meeting new people! Tomorrow I am actually going to meet all the girls on the team that I joined :)

Last night Anthony and I went to see the Book of Eli with Trevor and Brandy. That movie was great and it is one that i will be buying when it comes out. Tonight I am hanging out with my friend Mandy when she gets off work. Should be a fun night!

Hope everyone has a great weekend

(356-Day2}

Scored BIG today at the Semi Annual Sale at Victoria Secrets! woohoo

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though I got amazing deals on bras I still cannot force myself to buy $5 underwear so we went over to rue21 and got it for $.99. I ended up getting a new cell phone cover and some camis at forever21. Everything was on sale but I still get that guilty feeling about spending large amounts of money. But I think everything bought today was bought for good use and is something that is greatly needed. Being bras are a neccesity & being more than half off its a must to purchase, camis are a necessity, pretty much as important as the bra. Camis allow you to buy cute bras then wear a cami and the pattern or color does not show through. Underwear, well we all know the standing about them & a cell phone cover was greatly needed to protect my phone from scratches. So all in all today made for a good day of shopping.

heres my new phone case :)

Heres Anthony and I watching Mr.&Mrs. Smith
hope everyone had a great New Year!
Love Always!

Project 365....

Yes I am going to attempt this once again :) Last year I gave myself a little lee-way by doing it once a week which might have been what made me fail. So by making myself do this everyday I will not be able to forget.

What is Project 365?
Its where you are challenged to take a picture everyday of the year...YES! everyday. By doing this it provides you with a way to remember what happened in the year and also a way to see what was important to you. It also provides you with a way to get more familiar with your camera. Yea some of you are probably saying how much is there really to know but visit this other site and you might be able to get some ideas.
http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/

I will be starting this project on Jan. 1st so everyone can look forward to seeing more blog posts that will be full of pictures! =)
Lets just see if I can stick to it this year

Reasons I Love Winter Break...

1. Sleeping in. Which I didnt really get to do much of at the beginning but I havent been having to get the kids on the bus.

2. Meeting up with friends that have been away at college. I got to go to lunch and shopping at Easton with Allie and Jillian...just a little tripod reunion :) Today I will be going to lunch with Allie and Victoria, and Thursday might hold a lunch date with another long lost friend!

3. Family Christmas Picture for the Cards!

4. Working at the law office :)
I never thought I would have said that 8 months ago but after leaving to go to school full time I really missed everyone here and getting dressed up to come to work was something else I really missed. However working here on break is even better because I am here all day and I don't have to do court runs because there is another girl who took my job :)

5. NO SCHOOL! well thats a no brainer :)

6. more home cooked food =D ...mmmm. All of the yummy food actually started at Thanksgiving. The week before we had Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Frys house. Thanksgiving Day: Lunch/Dinner @ Anthony's Aunt and Uncle's house and dinner at Grandma Spiker & Daves. Skipped a weekend then early Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Frys. Skipped another week and that brought on all the Christmas dinners. Christmas Eve Anthony's other Aunt and Uncles house for dinner along with a little hold me over at my Aunt Kayes before we left. Christmas morning Mom did her traditional breakfast casserole and we had lunch/dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Prices. Day after we had Christmas at Grandma and Daves with Moms whole side of the family. Sunday night we had the whole family over to our house for spaghetti. Monday night Anthony and I had Christmas at his Dad and Teresa's house :) Needless to say I do need to hit the eliptical and get some of that food off of me!

7. Giving and recieving presents. I don't have my camera card with me right now so the next post will be full of Christmas pictures. But I got my zoom lens for my camera and new boots from Mom & Dad! Clothes, make up and all that jazzy stuff from everyone else.

Well I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and am looking forward to the New Year! =)

{7 Days}

Yep there are only 7 days til Christmas!!! I honestly thought yesterday that we had 2 more weeks but I also thought that yesterday was Wednesday not Thursday. So here is the banner/christmas card holder I made with my cricut. Actaully in the process of making this my cricut broke :( The speed button is not working so it is stuck on Max speed therefore if I cut anything delicate it just rips it all up..Provocraft is sending me a box and its suppose to get fixed.

Here are a couple from the benefit dinner. Anthony and Mark
Me and my best friend, Aubrey :)

And that would be Aubrey and Marks new puppy, in my boot :)

Thats pretty much it. Coming up is some more of the crafty projects I have done, our Christmas cards and picture, and some other little surprises :)

Everyone have a great weekend

Benefit = SUCCESS!

So I have been part of a planning committee for a friend that I have been in 4H with for forever who was diagnosed with cancer in August. We have been planning since September and had the dinner/auction on Sunday and it was very successful!

Asia is a 15 year old girl, a sophomore at TVHS, in 4H and just an all around amazing young lady. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer in August and actually had, hopefully, her last round of chemo yesterday. After many nights of planning and arranging for everything to go smoothly we ended up raising over $20,000 for the Hatfield Family. When I say "we" I am meaning the whole entire community! We had all the families at the schools donate items for themed baskets, businesses donated various items to be auctioned off, students at the high school bought tshirts and other people showed up and participated in the event. So I cannot tell you how many times I had a tear in my eye or just felt blessed to be a part of this cause. Asia was healthy enough to attend on Sunday and was so pleased and thankful for everything that was done.

On friday or saturday I am going to be going to Cincinatti to help pass out teddy bears that people bought in order for Asia to pass out to other patients at the hospital. Pictures from that will be posted early next week. I am in the process of loading pictures from Sunday so maybe I can get them posted on here tomorrow.
