I am inactive. I dont blog enough!

BowTies and Barbershops

Skyler and Seth started a Barbershop Quartet in their ward at BYU. They asked me to make them matching bowties and arm bands. They brought me some pretty blue and white plaid fabric and tried to print me off a pattern. The pattern didnt turn out so well and I ended up making my own pattern for it. :D They are the ties you have to tie yourself. I am quite proud of them. :D

I'm planning a bridal shower for my friend and I could use ideas for games and snacks. I planned the question game thing...the one where the bride has to answer the questions the same as the groom and has to chew a peice of bubble gum if she gets it wrong and stuff. if anyone wants to volunteer ideas please do. and thanks. :D

Thanksgiving, Hair Cut, and My Birthday!

Hello guys.
I have been way busy lately. I haven't really gotten around to posting anything. So here is a little recap on how my life has been:
~I had a lovely Thanksgiving break! LOVED IT!! It was my first time home this whole semester. so sad...now I feel like everybody else... :P


~On Friday after Thanksgiving I got a hair cut. most excellent and quite beautiful. :D

BEFORE:

AFTER:


~On Saturday after Thanksgiving I passed from the realm of teenager-ness to the realm of in-between-ness; I am no longer a teenager and yet I am still not a 100 percent adult. It's like I don't exist. hahaha. jk. I am officially 2 decades old! yep, the big 2-0! weird, I know.


I also went and saw twilight for the second time on this day. I must say It was loads better the second time. I actually kind of hated it the first time I saw it. I was on the front row and couldn't really see any of it. I thought Edward was stupid...not smooth enough...but oh well. it was definitely better the second time. for one, I was more towards the back, so Edward didn't look as fat. :D

Marrae Allen Brunner From Las Vegas, Nev., Selected As 1958 Participant For The Photo of the Century(TM) Presented by Kodak

    PHILADELPHIA, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- This July Fourth, Philadelphia Rolls
Out the Red, White and Blue Carpet as One Resident of Nevada -- An
Independence Day Baby, Celebrates Her Birthday in America's Birthplace as a
Participant in The Photo of the Century(TM) presented by Kodak.
   Participant's bio follows.  Updates will be available on
http://www.prnewswire.com
   Marrae Allen Brunner of Las Vegas, Nev., was selected from more than
25,000 entries nationwide (178 from Nevada) to participate in The Photo of the
Century(TM) presented by Kodak.  Brunner will represent the year 1958 in The
Photo, which will capture the historic gathering at Independence Hall of 100
Americans, all born on the Fourth of July, one from each year of the century.
   Ms. Brunner was born on July 4, 1958 in Pocatello, Idaho.  She traveled a
great deal in her younger years with her parents.  Her father fought in the
Korean War, was a cook on a U.S. Navy ship, and was a member of the National
Guard Reserves until after Desert Storm, and her mother is a descendent of the
first pioneers who crossed the great plains by covered wagon.  Ms. Brunner has
lived in Alaska, Arizona, California, Utah, Washington, and in American Samoa,
where her parents were religious ambassadors.
   On her 18th birthday (July, 1976), Ms. Brunner celebrated her personal
freedom and the nation's bicentennial with an outdoor party and a cake with
200 candles.  But the most memorable day of her life was her wedding day.
   Ms. Brunner was married in 1980, one week after college graduation, and
she moved to her husband's hometown of Las Vegas one year later.  A piano
teacher and composer, Ms. Brunner and her husband, Karl, are busy raising nine
children:  Kyle (18), Theresa (16), Seth (14), Skyler (13), Karrae (10), Todd
(9), Justin (6), Erika (4), and Shean (2).  Their eldest son, Kyle, is
graduating high school in the top 1% of his class at Las Vegas High School,
his father and grandmother's alma mater.
   Ms. Brunner said she's "never been past Kansas" and looks forward to
visiting Philadelphia with her husband (and possibly her son, Kyle).  She has
a passion for history and wants to explore the sites.
   This July 4, 1999, Philadelphia will take a photograph in front of
Independence Hall of 100 Americans born on the Fourth of July, one born each
year from 1900-1999, representing all 50 states.  It will even include a baby
born July Fourth morning in Philadelphia.  The event will take place during
the city's 10-day Sunoco Welcome America! festival, and is the official kick-
off of Philadelphia's 18-month Millennium celebration.
   Each participant and a guest will spend the weekend in Philadelphia from
Friday, July 2-Monday, July 5, 1999.  They will receive roundtrip
transportation courtesy of US Airways or Amtrak and will be hosted at The
Warwick Hotel and Towers.

When I made my post about my last football game I forgot to mention that on my way to work this guy stopped me and said "smile, go to this website for your complimentary picture" I must admit I really like this picture. I am impressed.

Last Game of the Season!

Today was my last football game this season...the season isn't over, but it is for me. :)
I had to be to work at 9:45 this morning. I was early...that was nice.
I got my original position back. I was so excited.
As I was standing there doing my job, This elderly man...maybe 60's or 70's I dont know...he wasn't old like a shaky old...just white haired. well he came up and asked if I was married...I was like...uh...no. He then asked if I knew anyone getting married or something like that, because he owns this bed and breakfast in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, and they want married people to go there. hahaha. He gave me his card with all his contact info and such. I was like ok...weird. haha he then asked if I had anyone chasing after me...I was like - nope. and he was like...well it's only 10 o' clock maybe that'll change when the game starts hahaha. that made me laugh.
so If anybody wants to spend their second honeymoon in Idaho... ;) ...I have the place for you... hahaha
kidding aside...So at the end of the game this man came out of my door. I was like I know that face...Then I realized it was Pres. Samuelsen. He patted my arm and said thank you and then ran down to the field...today was the "senior blanket day" thing...last home game.
Yeah interesting day...I'm gonna miss the football games but i'm glad I don't have to work for 6 hours at a time anymore...just 3. not nearly as bad. I was sooo bored today.

Oh and only 3 weeks from today until my birthday!! maybe I shouldn't be so excited...but I'm excited to leave my teenage years behind. I won't sound AS young... just slightly young...hahahaha
