Finding Joy in the Journey!

Alright alright, I know it has been a while, the pants have been EXTREMELY busy with school! None the less it has had it's fair share of Adventures! So I will share with you the best! Brace yourselves... It is becoming a party animal! (Rawr)

March 9.... possibly one of the best days in History... Yep you guessed it, It was CELESTE'S Birthday! It was quite a great day! I worked, went to school, then a meeting.. however, the people just made it so great! These two boys in my ward came over and gave me the frog shaped cake they made me which was way sweet! I got about 60 new tennis balls..(almost like heaven). Yep that was the highlight of that day.. however, the celebration of this amazing girls amazing 18th Birthday was just about to begin.
So the Saturday after my birthday I decided to have a party! A bonfire was part of the plan, but sadly due to weather that failed. None-the-less the show must go on... so the party was at my house!
(warning: sheer stupidity will be presented in this story, if you wish to laugh of my lack of common sense please continue)
I throw a party, invited many people.. maybe one two many, because I invited at least 3 boys I currently liked, 2 boys I recently dated, and past crushes. Yes yes, it was quite an infatuating disaster! To make this long silly story short, lets just say it was hard to keep them all happy, because well in a movie ... you can't sit by 5 people.. just 2, and trust me that is awkward enough. It was quite the night, very stressful but worth the story and laugh after.
I can definitely say the pants have learned that lesson!


The next great experiance was institute really. I have been going to an institute class, Happiness in Dating (go figure), and met a group of great people! Love them all. And so we hang out all the time. Well one of the kids that joined our group was named Tommy. Tommy is amazing, such a great kid and will definitely be one of my great friends! He is a guitar player and wrote some of his own songs and is amazing! So one night I went to his concerts at a little coffee shop and it was amazing! The pants prettymuch had their "heart" melted. And wouldn't you know this little devil kid is so clever. He asked me on a date, and for our amazing date we went to a lake.. took glow in the dark sticks.. cut them open (warning: keep away from mouth, as Tommy soon discovered your lips and teeth will glow in the dark.) and then we put this glow in the dark liquid stuff in a bag with rocks. Then wouldn't you know.. we skipped the rocks across the lake! IT WAS SOO COOL! Very creative! It was a great night!

OOH so you know how people hate the fact that we are in Utah, it is April, and we still have snow? Well I decided not to be a lamo and to try and look on the positive side. So I set a goal out to accomplish a goal I made last summer with Landon, which was to build a snow horse! It was fun and totally worth the 6 hours I probably should have been studying!


Moral of the story: when life gives you unexpected things (snow) take what it gives and try to make the most out of it so it will bring you happiness (a snow horse.. or bear once his head melts)

And for my FINAL story (because yes Kelsey I am gonna get the pants to you ASAP) I want to tell about my amazing date I had tonight!
The kid I went with, Jason, is in my relationship class at school. He is an amazing kid, and finally we started talking and quickly discovered we have the same Dream car! (who would have guessed) Yep, Jason and I are absolutely in love with Deloreans!! (for all those who lack car knowledge, it is the crazy car from Back to the Future). Yep! So we actually ordered delorean t-shirts together which we plan to wear to the last day of class. (call us nerds =D ). Well, to my great joy he asked me on a date for tonight! This was the order of our events
1. Pick me up, and went to his house.
2. After we went to his neighbors house because he said he had to ask him a "question"
3. To my great amazement this neighbor owns a Delorean!!!! SO I got to see one!!! Better yet Sit in One!!! It was really amazing! I in so much awe and amazement!!! I LOVED IT!! Prettymuch the highlight of my life right there in that garage!
4. Yea, so after that we got dinner, then went and saw the movie Source Code! That was a fantastic movie! The pants and myself enjoyed it!!
5. Then we drove home having some great in depth conversations.
(picture coming soon)

Talk about awesome! Life is great! I am happy and I recon I can attribute it to the Pants! Because those last two dates have been the most fun ever! (gee wiz!)
Thanks for reading my amazing adventures with the pants! I have enjoyed it and now it is my Dear Amazing cousin Kelsey's turn!

Keep it Real!

Celeste & The Pants

The Journey Continues

THE PANTS ARE BACK!!!

Alright, Alright, The pants have been busy. Where to begin. well they first come to me when Kami came down for my brother, Kyle's, Homecoming talk! It was quite the adventure, and very fun! So one of the days Kamelot was around, we had the opportunity of riding a horse. It was fun, however very cold, wet, cold, muddy, cold, windy, cold, and our horse was stubborn a little, but it was fun nonetheless. We soon warmed ourselves up by getting our groove on in the Kitchen. (as a side note: Kami dances like a black person and has the most radical moves ever!)
It was quite exciting to have Kami around for that weekend!

The Pants also got to be reunited with the marvelous Kelsey Joy! (man they are on a role) And oh did she bring the pants joy! We were able to get together, with most the Aunts, at the one and only,.... SUPER SALAD! Yes, we were all gathered together in honor and celebration of our wonderful wonderful Grandmother! It was a fun time to visit, and to see how my amazing newly-ish wed cousin is getting along! The pants also discovered that it has a twin! Kinda cool eh?
That was a great day, I also got to see my sister and brother-in-law Jared, and my new nephew Carter!

Alright, so the life of the pants now continue up at the University of Utah! They have discovered the joys of attending institute! I love my teacher, Dennis Nordfelt, and the class! There are so many good people that have motivated me to be better and make some improvements in my life. Oh and of course we can't forget the guys... those are great too! ;) But now is not the time for that.

My last adventure would have to be my day at court. On Monday I spent nearly 4 hours at the Utah State Court House... lets just say I am not perfect... afterall who is?
I had the opportunity to go up to the court house and interview a judge for school! It was pretty fascinating as I sat in court and watched trials go on. The inerview was interesting, and my judge was quite an amazing women, that has a love and passion for helping the public and making it a better place. Who knows.. maybe i will go to law school and become a judge...... I can see it now... Judge Fitzgerald.. I mean Fredrickson! :)

Halloween-y Goodness

The pants had their first Halloween... *sniffle sniffle*... they're growing up so fast! It was a pretty good day i must say! And i just rhymed...which makes it even better!

So yes, this halloween wasn't very eventful, but good nonetheless! The first order of business for the last 6 years has been working at/ going to the halloween carnival in my neighborhood! Usually the mia mades would do the cake walk, but this year in all of my laurel glory I got to sit by the bounce house. Haha yeah, that was pointless. But there were some perks! 1) I got to talk to the girl that was "working" the shift with me, and she's pretty cool. 2) the old guy that was also watching it with us gave us both a bag of HUGE marshmallows. Seriously, they were like 4 marshmallows in one.3) i got to get in touch with the cowgirl within. Success? I think yes.

Once done there, I went over to my soul sister's house, her name is Emma :) And while her and my other soul sister got ready, her name is Cami :) I got to...bask in their glow? Sure.

Then we left to go to our friend Trevor's house (A.K.A winter formal date, heck yes!) and we watched movies. YAAAY!

Overall, it was a dang good day. AND AND AND! i got to sport my coolio belt that my Grandpa Brimhall made for my dad forever ago. I love that belt. It says BRIMHALL on the back.Yes, you should be jealous right now.

Annnd just for good measure i added a picture of my first date with Brandan Banker

because the pants were supposed to be here for that. But it's alright. Luckily it still went well :) We went to the state fair. It was awesome. Don't worry, my lips are still clean! And i added a picture of Emma (left) and Cami (right) because they were awesome and randomly showed up early to help me get ready for the date! And just because they are just so gosh dang cute!

Moral of the story: 16 is just a good number.

All the pretty colors :)

my lovely Florida Gators shirt I got from chris for my bday OK OK so I wore the pants again... they have been sitting there waiting to be sent to kami, but 1-Ive never mailed a package before, and 2- it's so hard to find the time. but tomorrow is the for sure day of mailing them I promise!!!!!

So, the day after my birthday and the day before Kami's birthday, :) I took the pants hiking with my hubby. it was beautiful in the mountains! all the leaves are changing and are just awesome colors.

Afterwards we went to my other Grandma's house and she took us to eat then we played monopoly and Chris skunked us. It was a fun fun night thanks to the pants :)

Oh the mazes of surgery

ok ok I am sorry I haven't blogged yet. But can you blame me I've been a busy busy girl. Getting married isn't as easy as you think.. :)

So, the first day in the pants. what a story. Well, you first have to understand that the majority of my time I am in scrub pants so my first experience didn't exactly happen IN the pants but I did start the day in the pants. Its kinda funny, remember in the movie how lina or whatever her name was, nearly died her first time in the pants? well similar experience... I was in surgery and everythings going great but then I started getting really HOT then kinda NAUSEOUS then just a lil DIZZY. "Scalpel" the surgeon demands, and it goes straight through my head: "I-I-I don't feeel so goOod. . . " The nurse in the room grabs me by the shouldeirs kicks the door open and yells for another nurse, then the two of them drag me out of the OR. just a few more minutes in there and I would have probably passed out.

The next story worth telling in the pants isn't exactly super exciting except the pants did receive a later curfew!! try 4:00 AM My hubby and I went on a double date to the Crazy Corn Maze it was super super fun. Chris and I had a goal to beat the other couple thru the maze and win the prize at the end. So we ran really fast, man those pants can move. well, we won, by far! but we missed one question so it wasnt a very good prize at the end. afterwards we got frozen yogurt and watched a movie and we didnt get home till after 4.

yay the end...

Kami, so sorry, I thought Celeste was going to arizona so she was gonna take you the pants but apparently thats not happening. so I shall try to get them to you before your birthday. heck before my birthday hopefully. :) yay happy birthday to us!

Your turning 16 :) finally the pants can date.. the funny thing is that the pants lost their virginity before their first date. bahahhaha :)

College Life!

Well the pants embarked themselves on a new adventure, no, it didn't go to another dance, or a party, no they have matured and are trying the college life! Today was my first day of college up at the University of Utah.. GO UTES! (yes the pants are and ALWAYS will be a Utah fan). The campus was huge, and I felt very lost most the time, but luckily I found my way around and was on time! It was fun and I am looking forward to this semester! Oh and may I say there are quite a lot of guys there, so yes I managed to wink at one. Nothing came of it tho which is fine, BECAUSE well I happen to be really fond of a boy from the farm right now anyways.

Confession: I am guilty of breaking one of the rules! .... brace yourselves .... no it isn't the one I bet your thinking.. haha I wore the pants last week and put off blogging about it because I had limited access to internet.. and got lazy.. so let me tell you about the magic the pants had last week... *hem hem*
On Saturday, August 14 the pants got to seriously party it up! My cousin Maggie and I decided we wanted to do something exciting for once rather than mope around in Vernon, so we planned and Laser Tag day! We didn't have a ton of people, it was just me, Landon (who happens to be the boy I am crazy about), Maggie (my cousin), and two of her friends we met at institute. So we all went to the coolest arena ever, Laser Quest and tested our skills of endurance. Well me being the competitive person I am, and feeling quite lucky (thanks to the pants) I played as hard and aggressive as necessary in that first game... and BAM! that's right, I got first place! I have to say it is always fun to watch as all the guys in that round feel dumb when they notice a girl kicked their trash!
Laser tag admission $18, gas money $25, The look of defeat and stupidity... PRICELESS

After we did three games of laser tag we went over to Big Daddy's Pizza and go the biggest pizza I have ever seen! it was about two and a half feet in diameter! CRAZY! But yummy! And then we all went to my house and watched the movie "Catch Me If You Can". It was quite the night, and I wouldn't have liked it any other way... except if I had remembered to wink at Landon... I won't forget next time!

So there you have it! The pants helped me have a fun night with the boy I like, and then it helped me survive the frightening first day of college.. that is what I call Slegivity!
