Held Hostage

And after almost a year, my diploma is finally in my hands.

I had a financial hold on it, blah blah blah...and we finally paid it off after months and months of stupid payments.  My wonderful parents finally took the last chunk off our hands. Thank YOU! so much :-) Finally we can move on from BYU-Idaho and NEVER look back!!!

It finally feels real. Guys, I'm a college grad!!!

Something also held hostage....

Brinley's teeth....
You can SORTA see them poking through the gum tissue. I have been feeling those suckers for at LEAST 3 weeks and they really haven't grown in at all. So...I'm pretty sure she's getting 4 on the top. FOR THE LOVE. You are almost 18 months crazy child!!

Ryan is holding her upside down tickling her while I tried to snap a picture. The only way we can see the "teeth" is by doing this. She refuses the finger in the mouth method. Don't blame her!

Am I the ONLY one who has been anxious all week for Friday??? I thought it was Friday today. Talk about disappointment when I found out it wasn't!!!! 

Truth Tuesday

This Tuesday has been much better. Thank goodness.

Banana bread cooking in the oven could be my Top 5 favorite smells of ALL TIME. And, I admit. I bake banana bread to get extra gold stars in the wifey department. Unforunately I think I baked it too long. It wasn't that good. BUMMER! I am not a baker at all.

You guys. You're gonna die. I'm sewing a matching outfit for Brinley and I for Easter Sunday. We are going to look ridiculously adorable. New dress for Miss B, and a new skirt for Mommy. I told Ry I would make him a matching tie, but he declined the offer. My sister and I wore matching holiday outfits until we were like...14 and 12. Soooo lets just say, I miss it. Glad I have a little buddy :-)

I need a new blush color. Any tips on how to pick the right color? I really have never learned how to wear blush just right. I'm definitely no pro with make up. I'd rather just wear bronzer and mascara everyday for the rest of my life and eliminate the rest. I have never understood those girls that pack on the make up everyday. It could be a combo of being lazy, but applying that much make up everyday just does't appeal to me. Sundays, yes. Everyday? not for me.

So what if I like to get up and dance like Lady GaGa. Her "Born this Way" music video is so ridiculous and her dancing is...TERRIBLE. I like to immitate her crazy dancing with Brinley. She is a train wreck. Sorry for those that love her, but really, she is SOO out of control. Have you seen her Behind The Music?? I saw this interview with her and she openly admitted to her drug use and that her best songs are when she's completely high on multiple drugs. I'm sorry, don't want that nastiness playing on my radio.

I feel so loved when my little brother calls me to ask advice about class or help him correct a paper. It's fun having him home from the mission and also into this new phase in his life called COLLEGE and DATING...woooooooo! He asks me, What did you do in Rexburg on dates? All I said was, Do NOT take her bowling. I remember gooing on like 3-4 dates in 2 weeks and they ALL took me BOWLING. ahhhhhh it was TERRRRRRRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had more time to read. I've borrowed my friend's copy of Hunger Games and I've read like 3 pages. I can't focus and just READ. Even when Brinley's taking a 2 hour nap. I think, she's going to wake up any minute, why pick up a book??

I told Ryan that I needed good news this week. And I am HAPPY to report, that one of the job interviews that he had yesterday JUST called and offered him a job! Not only will he start working right after the semester, it also is up to a YEEEAR working at that company. They said they wanted a "thriving up and coming 2L" for the job...and apparently...Ryan WAS that guy!!! SO happy right now. It isn't full time work (probably 20ish hours), but every little bit helps and it was the job he wanted the MOST. Now, I can relax. We can stay in Florida. AAAAND, I don't have to take on more kids for the summer. Phew. Did I just make your day or WHAT???? :-)

What's your truth for today?

New week, new goals

Thanks for all the encouragement from the last blog post. It's been a wiiiiiild week, but I'm happy to report that we are out of the funk and ready for what is ahead in the Briggs family! Thank you to ALL the people who helped us out and continually let us know they were there for us. It is amazing what trials you couldn't imagine getting through, but you realize, Hey, we just got through it. Never thought we would. So here's to (hopefully) never having a week like last week EVER again :-)

(no, my floors don't EVER look cleaner than this. Even when I scrub them with bleach...promise)

Just relaxing by herself on the floor, reading her ABC books. This girl loooves to lay on the floor and read books.

--

Back to babysitting tomorrow. It has been a relaxing week not having to watch the babes everyday, but I'm looking forward to my routine again. Brinley's been missing the baby too and says her name multiple times a day. It's cute! 

Ryan has three, THREE interviews on Monday. We are so excited for him. He's had 3 in the past two weeks, so we should hear back soon if he got any of the jobs. We are hoping to stay here in Tallahassee, but a few of the jobs would take him to different cities. We decided that whatever happens, happens. We NEED a paying job so if that paying job takes Ryan out of Tallahassee, then Brinley and Mommy get to go spend 6-8 weeks with Grammy and Gramps in North Carolina!! Woooo!!! We're crossing our fingers that doesn't happen and that we can stay here and continue doing what we're doing.

Ryan is also registering for his next semester classes, and wait...YES, he'll be a 2L!!! WOOOO!!! I am NOT sad to see this school year fall behind us. It has been a hard year and definitely a shocker to us all. I am happy to only have 2 more years of school left and to have a fun summer seeing more of Ryan!!

One morning this week, Brinley was just so funny with her crayons. Her imagination is running WILD. I love to just sit and watch her to see what she does next. Her crayon's are a constant battle. She plays so nicely with them one minute, and then decides it's okay to color on the floor or on the bathroom tub. So, right now, she doesn't get to have her crayons. But these pictures were cute as she kept trying to throw them into her bucket and put them back in their cardboard box. She's also wearing new "big girl" jammies from Grammy Steele. She looks so grown up!!

--

Oh, and I was SO embarrassed when I looked into our ghetto pantry and saw this.

We apparently LOOOOVE cereal. Isn't that TERRIBLE??? It is so hard for us to finish a box before getting a new one. No more cereal until THIS is gone!!!

Channeling your strength

Sometimes in life we need to just keep breathing. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Not knowing why on earth this happened to me. Maybe I'll tell you later what happened, but not now. I'm not ready.

I've been trying to put my thoughts together, just as a journal entry, but it just seems scattered. It hasn't been easy, especially having the responsibility of being Brinley's mommy and Ryan's wifey, I've had to put that on hold and focus on me. I've had to depend on others; definitely not my strength.

I can't express this enough. Without the Church, I would be so alone. Within 15 minutes, everything was worked out with Brinley. For two days. I don't need to worry, but of course I do. That's only natural. The women in my life here in Florida are wonderful. We are a support system for each other, and I hope they know that if the rolls were reversed, I would be right there for their every need as well. The women in my life far away, continually send their love and concern. I have been overwhelmed with love and encouragement.

The main woman in my life, mi madre, is constantly worrying about me. I know she feels helpless, but you know what? I am grateful for this learning experience to handle this by ourselves. I miss her, and want her here holding my hand to tell me everything is going to be okay. That I'll be okay. I know I will, eventually.

Lastly, this is my testimony. That I have a Heavenly Father who knows me! He is aware of me. When I walk in darkness only following my faith and foundation, I see a small light at the end of the tunnel. This is apart of life. This is what I chose to come down to Earth. Even in the darkest moment this past week, I felt so comforted. There were people placed in my path leading up to this moment to strengthen me, encourage me, and know that I don't have to go through this alone.

I know you're all wondering, what is going on? This is something so personal and dear to my heart, you may never know. But, someday when I'm ready, I hope to help someone else by telling my story. Just know, that even in the darkest times of confusion, anger, saddness, and frustration, you can find peace and understanding. It is possible.

Meet "Bob"

Since Brinley couldn't really say caterpillar, (well, she tried but it sounded more like ccccaaaaaakfdlasjf;kajsd;fklja;kjs) we named him "Bob." She's been saying Bob ever since.



Truth Tuesday 5

When we were moving from Rexburg, Ryan was taking stuff out to the pod every like 5 seconds. He came back up the stairs this one time and said "Where's the plunger? Some guy wants it." I'm thinking, Someone wants our used PLUNGER? Really? Okay. So Ryan gives it to this guy that ran him down in the parking lot. About 20 minutes later, the guy comes BACK. Says to Ryan, "Do you want it back?" Do I want it back...ummm... HEEEECK NO!!!!!! (you weirdo)

My bracket. FALLING apart. We are totally syked for FSU to be in the Sweet 16, but really...there is no chance for me to win our family bracket after a few of last nights upsets.

You want to know the truth? It was 90 degrees here yesterday. UNBELIEVABLE. Apparently, this is normal weather for this time of year. The humidity is still low, so I'm surviving...but in a month or two I'm gonna be crying.

Wanna know a fun date night movie? Life As We Know It. SUUUUCH a fun movie. It made us laugh and Ryan shed a few tears too. (jk, I got a little teary). And the signature PG-13 movie "F-Word" was mouthed! So basically, it wasn't there!!! hahaha. Ryan and I just wait and wait during the movies these days for that ONE F-word. Usually dropped in the last 20 minutes of the movie and we are left with a bad taste in our mouth. WHY MUST THEY DO THAT?????? bothers me.

I have the BEST husband ever. He went out for lunch with some school buddies and his teacher after class on Friday, and of course I got jealous, and he came home with Chipotle for me. LOVe him :-)

I still think it is HILARIOUS that Brinley has stinky feet. It's getting better because she isn't wearing socks as much, but the stink is still there. And I love it.

*thankfully I write these funny truth's throughout the week because if not, there wouldn't be a truth Tuesday today. Today, was not a good day.*

She is such a funny girl. Always busy doing something. She is really good at playing by herself and finding something to do. Like right now, she is running from the kitchen to the living room, transporting blocks in her arms and putting them on the book shelf. She loves to play with her toys and see how high she can stack them. I asked her if she wanted me to play with her and she just kept on running. So that's why I'm blogging!! She is growing up SO fast. I seriously love it. She is turning into such a sweet and caring girl. She loves the baby I watch and will always give her hugs (closely monitored because she loves to give her BIIIG hugs) and she will bring her toys too.

Brinley is such a curious girl. She loves to play outside and watch the trees, birds flying around, and see how far she can run away before Mommy comes chasing her. Mommy doesn't like that. Brinley thinks it's a fun game. We love to play with chalk outside, until Brinley starts putting the chalk in her mouth or she starts running away down the sidewalk. It is a great way to be outside for alittle bit and spend some time in the sunshine! I can already see my rainbow flop tan coming back and it makes me so giddy.

Brinley loves to feed herself. She won't let me even come near her with a spoon. She can feed herself a whole bowl of yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, spaghetti, and many more things. She is okay with using a spoon, but when she is really hungry and means business, she'll hold the spoon in her right hand and grab handfuls in her left. She eats lots of good things, but I've realized that she loves home cooking. She doesn't care for things in a can (how annoying at lunch time!!) but when I make a rice and chicken dish, she is alllll about it. Go figure. She still doesn't have a taste for fruit. Her favorite veggies are green beans, peas, and broccoli.

Brinley is still an awesome sleeper. I can't complain. She still takes 2, 2 hour naps (usually) everyday. If she sleeps in later (like 8-9am) she probably won't take an afternoon nap. She goes down for bed usually on or before 7pm and will sleep until 8am usually. She is a LOUD sleeper, so I usually wake up at least once a night to rescue her binky since she just cries for it in her sleep. I do it by habit because her crying is SOO loud in the middle of the night and I'd rather plug it than be AWAKE listening to it. I am a GROUCH if I am woken up in the middle of the night and stay away. No thank you.

Brinley still picks up crumbs and random small trash pieces off the ground and carpet, but instead of immediately putting it in her mouth like she did before, she gives it to me. It's pretty funny. She makes me laugh. She has such funny mannerisms.

Some new things Brinley has been doing lately is folding her arms for prayer. We have been trying this...ummm since she was born??? but just recently has she folder her arms by herself. We never forced her before to fold her arms because she just puts them in the air to twirl her hair (yes, she still twirls...). It is fun to see her catch on to something so important as being reverent when we pray. Another fun thing is that she points to herself when I ask her where's Brinley? She is so funny. She loves to point at herself in pictures and point to her chest when I say Brinley. She's a smart cookie!

Some not so fun stuff that Brinley has developed is quick to have a tantrum. It usually revolves around her being tired and ready for nap time, but it happens so quickly I really have no idea why she is freaking out. All of these things that I listed above aren't to brag. I'm not that kind of mom. But, I want to remember how much fun she is NOW and all that she's accomplished. And hey, maybe I am bragging about my B a little bit ;-) She's a peach. and I wouldn't change anything about her.

But, the MOST important thing, is.....
she cut her Top TWO TEETH!!!!!!!
I think she is cutting 4 on top right now, but finally the middle two are through. THANK GOODNESS we were getting worried that at almost 18 months, she still would only have 2 teeth. Pics to come if I can manage...

Anyways, I know I'm missing a ton of funny Brinley-isms, but most importantly, she teaches ME everyday too. I have become more patient and loving and understanding. I am so grateful for this beautiful experience of being a mother and I cherish my time with her everyday.

Truth Tuesday 4

I heart American Idol. Every time Steven looks creepy, Ryan and I look at each other and almost say in unison, "He is undressing her with his eyes..." 

It really bothers me how people act wayyyyy too cool if they have an iphone or the phones with a touch screen. WHO CARES. Seriously. I love watching them tink around with their fingers. You look pretty silly if you ask me! Okay, and mobile upload ONE MORE PHOTO pleeeease. Do it, I dare you. I'm preeeeetty sure you just use the internet to update your FB status or tweet like a weirdo. Good riddance. And I'm sure you're thinking, well you're just jealous because you DON'T have one. No really, I don't want one. Promise. I don't need to join that club. Maybe I'm just thinking of certain individuals that just make me want to take their phone and throw it at a brick wall. Probably...

There was a lady at Church last week knitting in Sacrament meeting. And she sat in the front. Really?? 

2 Weeks Notice is the BEST movie ever. 

I wish EVERY week was Spring Break. ahhh last week was heaven having Ryan "home." Still studying for some of the day, but it was great to see him so relaxed. 

Some days I really miss my college days. I miss my girlfriends. I miss all the laughs we had. I wish Ryan knew me then. Buuuuut he wouldn't have liked me. I was tooo wild :-)

I didn't brush my hair today.

I hate watching the news about Japan, but I can't stop watching it. I have been flipping from CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News since the disaster happened. We spent most of Friday freaking out trying to reach Ryan's sister in Hawaii, but they didn't have anything happen thank goodness. Ryan and I are extremely motivated to get our 3 month Food Storage supply back up and running. Especially the fact that we live in Florida, and not too far from the coast too.

YAYYYYYY! Brad picked EMILY!!! The after rose was intense. But, I totally understand Emily's point of view. I do think that they are in love, however, it takes a lot (esp since she has a daughter) to say I Do if you're not 100%. I hope they work it out. I realized last night that they are 14 years apart. 14. years. apart. GEEZZZ!!! And I'm sure Brad is pretty set in his ways being a bachelor for that long. (and I know I'm talking about them like they are my bffs and I know them...but seriously...I want to be Emily's bff for reals).

I'm hoping next weeks Truth Tuesday makes you HAPPY!!!

Beach Videos!



Our Beach Trip!

It was stressful getting everything ready to leave on Friday afternoon, but it was SO WORTH IT. Ryan has never really seen me get "beach crazy" and excited about the sand. Growing up in San Diego, CA we always went to the beach and lakes are fun, but they just aren't the same! Having the sand between your toes and the gorgeous scenery...O YA BABY!

Our great friends Dustin and Jessica are moving into their grandmothers house on the beach, and they invited us just for an overnight and day trip. It was fabulous. Brinley did not sleep well at all and woke up multiple times wide awake ready to play. She was so ready to play. Poor girl! Ryan and I feel like train wrecks now, but we did pretty good staying energized with as little sleep we got. We had a fabulous french toast breakfast and decided to get going with the day. We got to the beach by 9am and stayed until 11am. The kids were getting cranky so we decided to pack up and go to lunch to get something to eat.

Then, it happened. Brinley was walking with Ryan holding hands when he pulled her arm to turn when he felt a pop in her wrist. She was immediately upset and we knew something wasn't right. We decided to get our food to-go (genius idea, Jess!) and we met them at the house. We stopped by CVS to get Tylenol but Brinley was definitely in a LOT of discomfort and would FREAK every time we touched her left arm/wrist. I just didn't know how bad it was. She was tired, hungry, thirsty, on TOP of her hurt wrist. Saying she was a mess was an understatement!!!

She miraculously fell asleep for almost an hour while we drove home from the beach and decided to stay in the car to eat our lunch so we wouldn't have to move her. After she woke up, still upset and crying, we took her inside, packed up, and decided we needed to take her in. 

It was almost worse than having her be sick. I had NO idea what was causing her SO much pain! I asked Ryan if he and Dustin could give her a blessing before we left. It was such a beautiful moment and I kept telling Brinley that blessings help heal and bless babies like her (and everyone else too) who are hurt or sick. She calmed down almost immediately after the blessing. Oh the joy it is to have a worthy husband and worthy friend to give Brinley a much needed Priesthood Blessing. That brings me so much happiness in my life. I cannot imagine my life without it.

We went to the Medical Center and they immediately took us back. They said they never let Pediatric patients wait. WHAT!? Within an hour, we were seen, examined, x-rayed, consulted, given medicine, talked to by the doctor, and walked out with some information papers about her diagnosis. It was seriously unbelievable. The doctor said that her arm was called a Nursemaid Elbow. She said she sees MULTIPLE of these each day and it is super common for small kids. She popped her elbow back in place and we left. Brinley started lifting her arm a little bit after, but definitely protects it. If she wasn't right-hand dominant already, after this experience, she definitely will be!!

Brinley is still in pain and complains every time her arm is moved, BUT she will be fine. We bathed her when we got home and put her down around 6pm. She fell asleep quickly, but we are preparing ourselves for a long night. Hopefully not because I am EXHAUSTED!! Oh my, it was an eventful day. Thankfully, we were safe regardless and had SO MUCH FUN before our little ER trip. Ryan and I are BURNT on our backs and chests, but it feels so good to have some sun...let alone, sun in MARCH!!!! ahhh I love where I live.

Enjoy the Pictures!!!

Checking out the water

COME ON!!! Gorgeous, right?

Glad her suit from last year fits :-) Don't worry, I'm going to get her a modest one piece for the summer...

She was all about holding the sand and running into the water.

I tried to get a mommy/Brinley shot and she was NOT having it. Hence, the poor attempt.

Family pic :-)

My cute bffs

She was shivering after playing in the water the whole time. She loved it!!!

Glad we went and we can't wait to come visit LOOOOOTS this summer!!! 

(only if you guys invite us again...promise, no ER trips next time!!)

Fun videos

(Ignore my conversation with my Mom about the weather...pay attention to Brinley and Grandpa)

This was from lunch today. This girl is OUT of CONTROL!!!!

Truth Tuesday 3

okay. There was a cockroach in our house Saturday night. It came in the front door when my parents walked in from taking Sophie outside to go potty. TRUST ME. It was TAKEN CARE of. 

(ahem ahem...my main man Ry)

The Bachelor: Women Tell All was AWESOME. Michelle, you're my girl. Even though I hated her throughout the whole show. That poor girl suffered from those beyatches. Yikes girls. Stop being so nasty.

I wish Ryan was on Spring Break every week :-) Summer can't come soon enough. But hey, I can ALMOST say 1 year down, 2 years to go!!! It feels SO good!!!!!!

I loved having my Mom here. She needed me to clarify that I really do switch the toilet rolls around at her house if they were going under. Soooo I said yes, and she goes, I do it too if someone did it wrong. BOY do I love her!!! Learned from the best :-)

Brinley can almost perfectly say "grandpa." I am pretty sure she uses it universally for Grandma aaaaand Grandpa. It might be easier to say? Well, regardless, she looooves her grandparents. She's been asking for them every time she's woken up from bed and naps. Sad huh???

Brin also is the master of using her spoon. She ate a full bowl of cheerios this morning BY HER SELF. She will NOT let me feed her by spoon anymore. It gets everywhere...... but I love to see her teaching herself.

I drank a diet coke last week while eating Chipotle. I KNOW, I know....but guess what? I didn't get a hangover headache!!! Hooray. So does that mean I can drink one every so often? 

(I think it does!!)


I am SO glad I have friends like this. She completely understands me, my humor, and she is so glam 24/7. Even in black leggings...

Okay. YOU tell me a truth.

Grandparents visit!

My parents pulled in on early Thursday afternoon. It is SO nice that the drive is less than 8 hours. Completely doable. I loved that my dad was able to come down too. He is so busy with his work schedule that he rarely gets to vaycay with my Mom. They brought Sophie, of course, she is my sister!! I asked for Friday off which worked out great because it was a teacher planning day anyways so the babe could go to the school her her mama! It was a nice break :-)

We had a pretty relaxed weekend. There isn't much to do where we live, but we tried to make the most of it! The weather was perfect, so we tried to spend most of our time outside. Brinley warmed up to my parents immediately. It was fabulous. My dad took her and Sophie for a walk down the block right when they got here. My mom stayed back with me until the babes mom came and got her. Brinley always said "Papa" for my dad, but by the end of the visit, she started saying "grandpa" almost perfectly! She loves her grandparents. No doubt about it!

We toured the school, the stadium, the law school, and a bit of downtown. My mom took me shopping twice because she felt like I needed a bit of pampering. I agreed!!! It was great to get away and have some girl bonding time. The boys definitely had their fair share. Golf on Friday. They played at the school course and raved all weekend about it. I guess they had a good time. I'm usually pretty good about tuning out "golf talk."

Funny story. So at Church, our meetings are flopped. Relief Society/Priesthood first, Sunday school second, and Sacrament last. Ryan always takes Brin the first hour since I usually teach Young Women's. But this Sunday, I didn't teach so I could go to RS with my Mom. As we walked into the gym afterwards to find Ryan, my dad and Brinley, I saw Brinley at the other end of the gym. She started running towards me, I had my arms wide open for a big hug, but I noticed she started turning a bit to the left....into my MOTHER's arms. Geez. Talk about feeling replaced! No, I wasn't sad at all. It was a great Grandma moment and it made my mom SO happy the rest of the weekend. It was pretty funny. 

We were sad to see them leave this morning, but we're SO glad they were able to come for a visit. Now, we have a whole week of Spring Break. Ryan is still planning on studying 5-8 hours a day, but it is so great to have him home and spend time with us. We sure miss him when he is gone all day.

Enjoy the pics!

At the Stadium

This ginormous tree by the law school. There are oak trees like this everywhere!!

Law school

Out for dinner

Grammy, Gramps and Brin

Our 3 Generations pic didn't turn out so good because Brinley was SO mad she had to sit with us. She wanted to play with Sophie and Gramps!

Did you ever do this when you were little? I never had long hair and so I would pull my shirt over my head, keep it there, and say to my mom, "Look mommy, I have long hair."

Having fun with Gramps and Sophie.

Playing with chalk outside with Grammy. She rarely ever sticks the chalk in her mouth...silly girl!

The swag!

Come visit us again soon!

Truth Tuesday 2

Ryan told me what our estimated student loan amount will be. My undergrad loans, his undergrad loans, and law school. I mean, I'm happy we'll leave with 3 degrees (that's pretty neat), but REALLY?? really??? whoa, now that scares me.

I painted my nails and two days later 9 out of the 10 fingers are chipped. Next time I'll upgrade my 99 cent Wet N Wild nail color!

I miss working out. I haven't been to a gym in forever. I miss having a good sweat. P90X at home (occasionally) and yoga will have to do.

I have seriously switched the toilet roll at houses, and if I visit my parents I do it too, if the roll is under instead of over. Over is the way to go.
Good idea? 99 cent pack of chalk at Target. Bad idea? Brinley throwing the tantrum of the century when I told her we were going back inside. O, it's the start of many.

I love living in Florida. So much better than living in miserable snow. YUCK we will never go back to snow again!!! It is paradise here.

Ryan and I spend our quality time together watching The Bachelor. It is my FAVORITE. We laugh and joke and we decided to kiss whenever Brad kisses so we don't have to watch him make out 250000 times a show. Smart, eh?

My parents come THURSDAY. OOOO jooooy.

Is it the weekend already?
