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!

A little bit about my life this week.

Well I have been at my new job for about two weeks, I'm starting my third. Let's just say, it's not quite as fun as Harley. It's crazy (but kind of makes sense I guess) how the customers aren't as nice. Some of them are SUPER nice, but overall, not as friendly.

Next, um, this may be the best movie ever. I highly recommend it, but be ready to use your eyemuffs for about 2 minutes maybe 2.5 minutes. It's a little steamy, not too too naughty, but you know what's going on.
Third, I am going to Europe in 10 days. TEN DAYS peps. I'm so excited and anxious, I don't know if I'm going to pee my panties, cry, or have a mini heart attack. Am I packed? Actually I can say I have about 6 things in my suitcase already - it's a Christmas Miracle. I'm the Queen of Procrastination.


And last, I love you all. That's it. And I love life, and the Gospel and I'm just happy and hope you are all too!!!

Yay for Happiness!

The past two or three weeks have been really quite awesome, and I feel very confident that things will continue to be awesome for a while!
The first awesome thing was California with Corey and Lauren. Who doesn't love a spontaneous trip to San Francisco. Although, I have to say that being up all night when we were in Vegas on the way home (my rockstar - I rarely drink them - made me very ill) was no bueno. But that is just a minor less-fun thing.

The second awesome thing was that I got a yob!!! I start at the Deseret Book in East Bay Provo. It doesn't pay near as well as my old job and I won't have a ton of hours, but at least it will help me pay for my car.
The third awesome thing is that in precisely 24 days I am going to be leaving on a jet plane. Where to? Europe. Finally. I am so excited I literally might cry while on the plane. Don't judge me. I get overly excited sometimes...

The fourth awesome thing is that I've decided (maybe) what I want to do school wise. I'm thinking after I finish my Business Associates of Science, that I might go into Dermatology. We'll see.

But since I don't know EXACTLY if that's what I want to do, and I don't know WHERE to do it and because of other feelings and decisions I've made....brings the fifth awesome thing. In about 2 or 3 months (4 TOPS) I will be turning in my mission papers. Pretty excited. Bishop meeting yesterday was very positive and I left feeling great!!

The sixth awesome thing is that on Wednesday I am going to do Baptisms for the Dead in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple with my momma, her momma, my sister-in-law Kirstin and hopefully my cousin Dani Banani. :)

The seventh awesome thing is that on Friday night I went to the Hypno Hick show in Payson with Corey and her familia. It was HIL-AR-IOUS.
And the eighth awesome thing, on Saturday I went to Arthur with Corey - so so so so so FUNNY! Possibly the funniest movie I've seen all year. Russell Brand is a dream.
The ninth awesome thing is that I got to see McKell and Peyton this week. I love that family.
AND the tenth awesome thing...... my dad turns 50 this month!
