Whirlwind of a week, thank you so much to my amazing friends who helped me through this week in every way...never would've been possible without you! now off to NY for AAF & Garnier. I'll keep you posted on how it all goes!

-----

On another note...Ilene & Eric are now officially married! so excited for them, I absolutely love them both.

Yes, Yes I did.

and yes, we gave it to some guys we saw at guru's. I don't know how Christy managed to talk me into it, and in retrospect, it sounds so stupid. But it's a funny story...ask me if you ever want to hear about it.

For Now...

For now, I just have to keep telling myself this. Sleep will not be happening this week...but Rockstar Guava's will sure be in high demand. Stress normally doesn't rock my boat that much, but I'm starting to think that academic stress+future job stress+emotional stress+everything else stress may in fact capsize my lil boat if I don't keep this gem in mind. So...I'm keeping calm. Even at one in the morning when I still have a few hours ahead of me. Wish me luck.

Snowfest Oh Ten

Another wonderful weekend with the friends. Went down to my parent's cabin...still can't believe how much snow is down there! Such a relaxing weekend though. 4' of snow, amazing food, some of my favorite friends, the lovely family, extreme sledding, snowshoeing, puppy Harley love, biggest bonfire of my life, fireworks, and shooting. Good weekend.

M.L.K. Equals Hol.i.day.

Couldn't make up my mind what to do this glorious three-day weekend. Started with mayyyybe Moab? southern cali? uhhh....? when truth be told, all I wanted to do was kick it in beautiful UT. Who am I?! BUT. Thankfully, Lindsey shares my same love of the UT winter, and saved my bumski by inviting me to hang out with her this weekend in the SLC. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend, it seriously was EXACTLY what I needed! Movie night with Ash and Linds, XCountry Skiing to the Cracroft Cabin with two of my favorites, online pizza ordering amazement, public Wii humiliation, and lots of good food thanks to Mama Cracroft.

Lindsey you're the best, thanks for the amazing weekend! love you girl!

New York!!!

I bet you're starting to wonder how many posts I could possibly dedicate to this city. So sorry. I'm slightly obsessed with it...and so stoked to move there.

Just found out I'll be in the lovely n.y.c. for the first two weeks of february. First week: AAF Award fun. Second week: Garnier pitch.

SO EXCITED. Really though. I can't even explain the squeals of joy that escaped my lips earlier today when I found out about the Garnier pitch.

Not So Blank

I feel like I've been blank-staring a lot of people lately. Trust me, it's nothing personal. I think I'm just geting "old," and my body actually needs sleep now (foreign concept)! Anyways, point being, I've had a lot on my mind lately. Which explains the blank stares.

My Not So Blank Thoughts Behind My Very Blank Stares:

-SLEEP. Oh, my body needs sleep so badly. What ever happened to me being able to run on 4-5 hours a day? Please, make it come back. I don't like this concept of feeling perma-tired. Hence, the insane amount of blank staring I've been guilty of these last few weeks.

-fourteen weeks of school left. FOURTEEN. that means fourteen weeks to figure out job shenanagins, survive school, work, capstone, and try not to think about my continuing singlehood. Yes, I'm admitting it. And yes, that does mean that somewhere deep down, I do care that my dating life is non-existent right now...no matter how many fun trips I go on with friends. There, I said it. I miss dating.

-boys are complicated. but girls are sometimes even more complicated. boys, you have it rough. Who ever introduced the idea of passive-agressiveness to girls? worst. idea. ever.

-I want to go see puppy Harley so badly!!! Cabin trip on the 22nd of this month...so excited.

-Is the east coast really the right decision for me?!?! AHHHH!!! sometimes I wish life decisions weren't so hard.

-P90X is not my friend. Working out in general sucks when it's not a recreational acitivity/sport. BUT. I'm determined to get my Maui bod back (Em you know what I'm talking about. wink.)

hello 2010, my name is Brooke, I'm your #1 fan.

2009, I'm so glad you're over. Don't get me wrong, I've learned a lot and grown more than I ever could've imagined while you were around...but I'm so over you. 2010 is slated to be wonderful. Evidence?

1. kick started with an amazing trip down to vegas for the new years. climbing in a tank top outside in warm weather during the winter...whaaaa??? awesome.

2. my work hours increased. therefore, my bank account will soon increase. thank. heavens.

3. I'm done done done with undergrad in less than four months. FOUR. I'm starting a paper chain countdown. Just you wait.

4. The boys and I successfully pulled off a surprise birthday present for our mom...a black lab puppy named Harley! Such a doll! (pictures of her to come soon)

5. I have the world's best friends, and lucky me, a handful of them are also relocating to the east coast post graduation. yay for NYC! and yay for having more friends out there!

I think that's sufficient for now. 2010 you're already proving to be better than 2009. muah.
