30 Days Of Thankful Challenge: Part 3

And, here's part 3!

21. a disappointment or fear

I'm  sorry, but this one seems kinda weird to me...How can you be thankful for a fear or disappointment?
Maybe after I read Amy's I'll get an idea of what this one should mean?

22. a book

The Alice series by Phyllis Reynold Naylor
 Their a really good series of books, and they really turned me on to reading.
 

23. a feeling

Ok, so I'm going with this meaning a 'physical' feeling instead of an 'emotional' feeling, so...
I know this is probably weird...But, I feeling of being cuddled/cuddling something. Maybe that's why I love hugs, and I sleep cuddled up to a body pillow?

24. a photograph

This one...

My grandma, my big brothers, and I at Disney World.

25. a luxury
I'm so thankful for warm water and electricity!
It's a big pain in the butt when you don't have it!
 

26. a charity
 I don't know...I've never really thought about that before....I guess I'd say The Salvation Army or Toys For Tots. :)

27. a song

I'm thankful for all music, really. (I'm a total music nut! I love music!)

28. a gift

I know I've already said I was thankful for my camera...But I'm going to say it again.
Because, it was a gift that my dad got me, and I love it! :)

29. something in your home

My parents bed.
It's where we all gather in the mornings on the weekend, it's where we all try to pile in the bed to watch tv, or anything like that.
 

30. the thing you’re most thankful for

My family and friends. 
Their everything to me, and I would do anything for them.

And with that, we have came to the end of the '30 days of thankful' challenge!

I hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving! :)

30 Days Of Thankful Challenge: Part 2

So, here's part 2

11. a tradition

Every Christmas morning, my brother and I get up at six in the morning, then go wake up my mom and dad. 

It's something we did ever since I was little.

12. a gadget

My camera.

I think that one is pretty self explanatory...

13. something old

 My animal blanket...

I've had it since I was a baby.

14. something new

 Ok, my room isn't really 'new' but, it's been redone, so it counts! lol

15. a recipe

My Maw's Chicken and Dumplings, and My Nanny's Potato Salad.

Two of my favorite things...Their so yummy! But, no one makes it like they do.

16. an experience

Getting my drivers license.

That was a big thing for me, and I'm thankful I passed the test and got it!

17. a store

I love Target. It's one of my favorite stores. 

18. a saying/quote/scripture

 This is one of my favorites...

"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."-Benjamin Mee

19. a favorite piece of clothing

 Right now....My cowgirl boots.

I also love scarfs. :)

20. a keepsake

My Precious Moment. 

I've had her since I was a baby, and I love it.

I plan to pass it down to my daughter some day. (If I ever have one.)

30 Day's Of Thankful Challenge: Part 1

So, Amy started a "30 Days Of Thankful Challenge".....And, I decided to try it....Let's see how this goes. 

1. a person

My dad.

 He's crazy, funny, goofy, loving, and 99% of the time  he knows how to make me smile or laugh when I'm upset.

2. an animal

 My Brownie.

He's a sweetie....When he's not barking.

3. a cozy place in your home.

My messy bed.

It's so warm and comfy, it's the perfect place to relax.

4. a favorite snack

Pineapple! I love Fresh Pineapple. 

5. a place

 Anywhere my family is.

6. a pair of shoes

 Um...Any of these! Their so comfy, and I love that they come in different colors. 

7. a scent

 Perfume.

 Any kind of perfume, and the smell of make-up. 

They both remind me of my Grandmothers. :)

8. a restaurant

I love Chick Fil-a!

 And when I say love, I mean I LOOOOVE! Chick Fil-a!

Their food is so yummy. Plus, I'm all about supporting fellow Christians. :) 

9. a blog

 There are a few blogs I read. 

But, I'd say the ones I'm most thankful for are:

Ahh Mom 

And

The Adventures Of AmyEmu 

10. a time of day

 I don't really have a time of day I'm thankful for....But, I like this time of day.....

I went out side one morning when it was freezing to take this.....

Thanksgiving.....

Happy (Almost) Thanksgiving!!!! :D

This is my FAVORITE! time of the year! :)

Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays. Ever.

Who's excited?!?!

ME!!!! *Raises hands*

I'm also super excited for 'Black Friday' and (as my brother and I were calling it) 'Black Thanksgiving' :)

I love going out shopping late at night....I think my dad is dreading it though. lol

So, I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Eat lots of Turkey,
 (Just don't break the scale in your Grandma's bathroom. *Family story. lol* )

Enjoy being with your family,

And don't forget,

Be Thankful!

~Brittany


(PS. I'll most likely do a 'What I'm Thankful For' post soon! :) )

The Beautiy Of Fall.....

It's faaaaaall!! :D :D 

I love it when the leaves change.....

I think that one is my favorite. :)

Project Bedroom....

Hello boys and girls!

Welcome to the story of my long awaited bedroom remodel!

So, some years ago my dad started remodeling our house a little bit. Not anything major, just replacing the old blue carpet with laminate flooring and painting the walls, things like that. So, my room and my brothers room are the only ones in the house that haven't been redone......

.....Until now...:)

So, it started with packing. 

Now I, like most people probably do, thought "Packing? No big deal. I just need some boxes to put everything in and I'll be golden. Won't talk long at all." 

Yeah right, biggest understatement on the year! 

First off, I have a ton of stuff. It's hard to imagine how much stuff one could have in a room as small as mine. Not that my room is tiny or anything, but it's not big by any means. 

Second off: I, like other people in my family (Dad, Johnny.), have a slight case of OCD. I could not deal with putting my books, and movies into boxes unless I knew they weren't going to get messed up. And lets not even get started on how out of order my books were when my brother started just putting them into a box! He didn't even keep them in order! UGH!

(My room while packing)

All I can say is, I'm not looking forward to unpacking....:/

So this is where I'm sleeping now....

In my brothers room.....Help me!! :/

At lest I get to sleep in my bed.....

Right, moving on.....

I've had the color I wanted to paint my room picked out of awhile now, and I finally picked a color for the flooring....

They started painting my room, here's what it looks like now! :)

Look at my room! All pretty and painted!

(The color is called Ocean Whisper.)

And I'm just going to say this...(even though I know he doesn't read my blog but).....You were wrong Jerry!!! I love the color!!!

Sorry, my cousin said some things....Lets not get into that right now....lol

Next came the flooring, I picked a darker color than what my dad has in the rest of the house. It's call "Vera Mahogany"

So, here's my room after they put in the flooring.

 
 It's safe to say I'm in love....Just kidding....
....

 My dad still has to paint the closet door.

But, as soon as that's done, there isn't anything else to do! YAY!


........

......Can I get a big BOO!! for unpacking???

I'll let ya'll know how the unpacking goes!!

Until next time!
