the end is near

the end of this semester is SO close! i cant believe how fast it has gone, but i am anxious for it to be OVER. i really enjoyed my classes this semester. i absolutly LOVE being an elementary education major... jared always laughs at the homework i bring home and says all i ever do in school is color :) this is the project i just recently finished; we had to make a bulletin board:

its a little blurry, but this is what i came up with... a birthday bulletine board. On the candles id write the students name and then on the flame id write the date of their birthday. i worked hard and was pretty proud of it so i just thought id share it.

there are some days when i get so stressed out and just want to quit school (ask jared, he hears it all the time) but then i think about what a HUGE accomplishment it will be to graduate from college with a bachelors degree. and i know that getting that degree is something i will never regret doing. plus im so close now, why stop? 3 more semesterssssssss!!! :)

confused

this past week i have seen and heard lots of commercials announcing that this sunday, june 21, is fathers day... i think the world is a little bit confused... sunday june 21st is NOT fathers day, its MY birthday... just thought id clear that up :)

and now we all know how selfish brielle can be...

im sure jared is getting so annoyed with me because all week everytime we hear something about father's day, i always say, "hey! i think these people are confused! its not fathers day...." and then he can finish my sentence with, "it's your birthday" (very UNenthusiastic like)

there is not point to this post really except for me to say that i LOVE birthdays, whether its my own, or someone else's i love them, and im not really sure why because the older you get the less exciting they become.

family fun

This past weekend my family drove over from colorado to utah, so we drove down to spend the weekend with them and we had a blast! it was my grandpa's 80th birthday so we got to see lots of family, and eat good food, while playing outside... whats better than that?

We played many games of 500 all afternoon

Attempted to make a pyramid

whats a pyramid without anyone falling off?
It was a fun weekend and im sad it was such a short visit.

On another note, we got a grill from jared's parents. its pretty old but we love it! everything just tastes so much better on a grill
