We're Kind of a Big Deal

Check out my introduction as the newest intern for Utah Bride and Groom Magazine on the magazine's blog here.

Also check out the post about our wedding on the same site.

Yeah. We're famous like that.

We are recovering in the aftermath of Kyle and Jessalyn's nuptials this past weekend. Wish us well. And lastly, I am looking forward to photography boot camp on Monday! Couldn't be more excited!!!

Lost Your Muchness

Well it's just been a ridiculous amount of time since I posted anything. I wasn't too worried about it though because I'm most likely the only one who noticed. I have lots to report and at the same time, nothing to report. Life continues to trudge or zip along, depending on the day. No, depending on the hour actually. :)

I got a new job. I am now a new server at the Olive Garden in Murray. Glamorous, huh? :) It's a job though. It is a really good company to work for. So come see more sometime if you are ever craving some tasty Italian. I will do my best not to dump a drink in your lap. ;)

Preston and recently created our own photography company. It's called Briston Photography. We combined our two names to make it. Isn't that cute? :) We're not for profit or anything. I've just been taking a lot of pictures lately for my class and I needed somewhere to post them all. You can become our fan on Facebook.

I have also been working on the flowers from Jessalyn's wedding. Stress! I can't believe she trusts me to do that for her. Sheesh! How do you think it turned out? (See below)

I have a lot going on right now which has caused me to stress and feel anxious. This anxiety is caused by what I have only just diagnosed as a lack of muchness. If you have seen the new Alice in Wonderland (fantastic movie) then you will understand. There is a line from the movie that hits home for me and defines all my current problems in two simple lines. The Mad Hatter says to Alice (speaking of the previous time she visited Wonderland), "You were much more muchier. You've lost your muchness." Do you ever feel like that? So I am currently out on a quest to recover my muchness. Hopefully it won't take too long. Braden and Bandit might starve to death because with my muchness has gone the motivation to cook culinary masterpieces. If any of you have leftovers, send them our way. ;)

Eagerly awaiting the return of my muchness,

Britt

Don't Worry-- It's Just Brittany and Braden acting like 5-Year-Olds Again!

This week has been pretty crazy busy! I started my new internship with Utah Bride and Groom magazine. I am actually working on some stuff for Salt Lake and Utah Style & Design right now though. I'm pretty much in love with this internship. It is so perfect for me.

On a more random note, Brade and I spent the weekend up at the Wolf Creek Resort in Eden, Utah to celebrate half a year of marital bliss. We had the BEST TIME! We stayed at the Red Moose Lodge in one of the honeymoon suites. Our room was frickin enormous! We tried some delicious peanut butter and jelly pizza (sounds weird, I know but it was soooo good!) and we visited the largest gift shop in Utah. Oh! And the best part was we embraced the fashion designers within and created some t-shirts for each other that are truly works of art. We got some strange looks, but we wore them with pride!

My Knight in Shining Armor

This week marks six months since Braden and I became Mr. and Mrs. Davis. I've been doing a lot of thinking about this wonderful man in my life. He is a blessing to me in more ways than I can possibly count. He is my best friend in the whole world. We laugh together. We play together. We tell each other absolutely everything.

No one gets me like Braden does. He makes even the darkest days seem brighter. Most of the time he figures out the reasons for my insanity even before I do and he always understands. He is patient, hard-working, funny, and intuitive. His smile turns my insides to butter. He treats me like a goddess and I can't believe he is really mine. He is the knight of my heart. My forever love. I am so excited to spend the rest of our lives playing, working, and growing together.

I love you, Brade! Thanks for an incredible six months!

Love always,

Britt

Brade is VERY protective of me...even if he has some rather unconventional methods of keeping me safe. I don't think this tiny bat would do much good if he had to actually use it.

Sometimes he freaks out, and even then, he's still my love slug. :)

See what I mean about that smile? ;) Whew!

"It doesn't matter where you go in life... It's who you have beside you that makes the journey worthwhile."

Winter Olympics 2010

Brade and I are getting pumped up for the winter olympics! We've been playing Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics and actually finding out what curling is! I've made a little video of us to celebrate this momentous time.

Check us out in our Olympic debut!

Don't you think we should be contenders for the gold?

2009 in Pictures

This week I have been reflecting on the new year and the year that has just passed. 2009 was a tough year for us. There were a lot of changes (mostly good) and a lot of upheaval in my personal life. I had lots and lots of trials, but I was able to overcome them and learned a lot about life and a lot about myself in the process. I'm thankful for my trials. I am a stronger person because of them. That's what our song of the week is about.

As I was thinking back about it, there were a lot of good memories from 2009. So here is a look back at 2009 in pictures.

What we did in 2009...

We cheered on our mom through her weight loss journey...

Before...
After... Way to go, Mom!

We met some good, slightly-off-the-wall friends...

We went and saw some cool shows and learned about the Circle of Life...

We went on random shopping trips to Walmart with our cousins at 3 am...

We discovered the creepy green circle and its many uses....

We said goodbye to a beloved vehicle...

And we said hello to a new one... Look how shiny!!

We learned to make beautiful flowers out of delicious frosting...

We put on some silly disguises...

We totally schooled our family at Wii tennis...

We went on trips to San Diego with our roommates and seeing the sun did funny things to us...

We made totally rad costumes to scare people on Halloween...

We got all gooey inside taking super cute pictures of our husband...

We watched sad movies and cried a tiny bit...

We colored on ourselves with Henna designs...

We played some really weird games that we got for white elephant presents...

We got a puppy and tried to teach him not to chew up everything...

We drank some very questionable looking liquids...

We got married in a special place...

We watched our friends get married too...

We ran away after so we wouldn't get hit by the rocket...

We dressed up in costumes and solved a murder...

We did some super amazing flying leaps through the air...

We took dance lessons...

We played some music on the drums and people clapped for us...

We went on a ride 10 times and almost threw up...

We ate tons of shrimp and almost threw up...

We got called to the nursery...

We found ourselves a castle...

We didn't bring warm enough clothes to see the deer...

We had lots of love in our life...

We built some forts that took up the whole room...

We painted our faces to look pretty awesome...

We made birthday cakes that looked like pirate ships...

We lived happily ever after...

At least for now!

Happy 2010, everyone! I have a feeling it's going to be a great year.

Love always,

B,B&B
