Me + Betsy + Food + Temples = I lOve My LIfe!

HOLA

Well, this is where I'll be living for the next 18 months. I've been called to serve in the California Carlsbad Mission, Spanish speaking. I leave September 28, which is the Wednesday after Skyler's wedding! My poor mother, she will be kind of an emotional wreck.

Just A LittLe UPdate.

I am almost ready to turn my papers in!!! I just have to Upload my picture and then I can submit my papers to my Bishop - so hopefully that will be today or tomorrow - and then have my interviews and my papers will be in! Yay!! Super excited. Seems a little crazy, but can't wait to see where I'm going to go!

Dear wallet, please give me a christmas miracle by magically filling full of cash, love Brindley.

Let's just say, when I get home from a trip it only takes about two weeks or so for me to decide I'm dying to go somewhere else. Let me also say, I don't know how many of you have seen the VW commercial where the guy just keeps thinking about the car that he wants, and there's a mini car growing on the side of his head...well, me, my dad, and Deven all have that problem. We get thinking about something, and it just keeps growing and growing until either we get it, or just make ourselves realize we can't have it, then we have non-buyers remorse. Well, that little thinger growing on my head right now is TAHITI. I really, really want to go there as a last trip before my mission. Oh my gosh Nemo's swimming out to sea!! That would just be so amazing, just look at the picture, how could you NOT want to go here right?!?!?!?!

Once Upon A Time... This girl named Brinlin FINALLY went to the UK.

Yay!!! I'm so happy I can finally cross the UK off of my trip list!!! It was fantastic and I loved it! I thought I might cry or hyperventilate a little, but I was surprisingly chill. :)
Mom, Grandma, and I at the Tower of London - infront of King Henry's Armor, we're related to him. Super fun.


Mom and I at the top (almost) of St. Paul's Cathedral.
Stonehenge. Need I say more?
It smelt real bad in there. Someone definitely relieved themselves of some bodily fluids in there.
At St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. Not our finest moment, but still good. :)

London Calling

I leave for the UK on Thursday. That's only 3 days (if you count today). Have I packed yet? Not really. I have underwear in my suitcase so far. OH, and I am the champ at over-packing. SO, taking a suitcase the size of a pillow is somewhat challenging for me. But I think I might do better than my momma and her momma. Either way, I'm super excited to finally GO!

OOPS!

Well, here it is. The best picture from my trip to San Francisco. This is what would have been a great picture of one intense uni-brow had my flash not gone off right in his face. Really, I should've just kept it there, it went off in his face already, I should've at least gotten a good picture out of it!
