Just because you are raised as a military brat.....yes, another one of Britt's blonde moments.

Just because you are raised as a military brat does not mean you know the most simple basic things. Today walking into the house from church Drew start out...Left, Left, Left, Right, Left. Brittney responds with, "Oh, I get that now! I always wondered how they marched when they said only left."
Doh, she though maybe they took a left step and paused, then somehow they would take another left step. Or maybe they just hopped on their left leg. Oh my gosh, what a blonde.

WarCraft: The Well of Eternity by: Richard A. Knaak (1st in trilogy)


Many months have passed since the cataclysmic Battle of Mount Hyjal, where the demonic Burning Legion was banished from Azeroth forever. But now, a mysterious energy rift within the mountains of Kalimdor propels three former warriors into the distant past--a time long before orcs, humans or even high elves roamed the land. A time when the Dark Titan, Sargeras, and his demon pawns persuaded Queen Azshara and her Highborne to cleanse Azeroth of its lesser races. A time when the Dragon Aspects were at the height of their power--unaware that one of their own would soon usher in an age of darkness that would engulf the world of...WARCRAFT.

In the first chapter of this epic trilogy, the outcome of the historic War of the Ancients is forever altered by the arrival of three time-lost heroes: Krasus, the dragon mage whose great power and memories of the ancient conflict have inexplicably diminished; the human wizard Rhonin, whose thoughts are divided between his family and the seductive source of his now-growing power; and Broxigar, a weathered orc veteran who seeks a glorious death in combat. But unless these unlikely allies can convince the demigod, Cenarius, and the untrusting night elves their queen's treachery, the Burning Legion's gateway into Azeroth will open anew. And this time--the struggles of the past may well spill over into the future...

FINALS ARE DONE!!!

I AM FINALLY DONE WITH FINALS! YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED NOW THAT THEY ARE DONE, OR AT LEAST I WOULD BE IF I WASN'T SO DANG TIRED! FREAK I AM TIRED :(

WarCraft: Day of the Dragon by: Richard A. Knaak


In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, the world of Azeroth teemed with wondrous creatures of every kind. Mysterious Elves and hardy Dwarves walked among tribes of man in relative peace and harmony--until the arrival of the demonic army known as Burning Legion shattered the world's tranquility forever. Now Orcs, Dragons, Goblins, and Trolls all vie for supremacy over the scattered, warring kingdoms--part of a grand, malevolent scheme that will determine the fate of the world of WARCRAFT.

A terrifying upheaval among the highest ranks of the world's Wizards sends the maverick Mage, Rhonin, on a perilous journey into the Orc-controlled lands of Khaz Modan. What Rhonin uncovers is a vast, far-reaching conspiracy, darker than anything he ever imagined--a threat that will force into a dangerous alliance with ancient creatures of air and fire if the world of Azeroth is to see another dawn.

USU vs. UVSC/Choir Concert

USU played UVSC (Utah Valley South College) today in hockey. It was a good game. Spencer and I were an hour late because of my choir concert (will talk more on that in a minute). We beat UVSC 6-2 which was great! I guess UVSC is 2nd in the ranking of college hockey, or so Spencer says and USU is 9th in the ranking, so we played really good today to have been able to beat UVSC. Suds got in a fight and kicked out of the game, he lost the fight in my opinion, and Spencer agrees with me :)

Ok, on to my choir concert, although I guess I should switch these cuz the concert was first, but oh well. The choir concert was really awesome. I had so much fun. The pre-show was hilarious and the actual performance was excellent. We had "The Ghost of Christmas Cache" there tonight reminding a janitor who was trying to clean during our performance the true meaning of Christmas, all part of the show in case anybody was wondering :), and both the janitor and the Ghost did a great job at their parts. I am going to buy our CD that the choirs made last month and just now got published tomorrow night at our next concert. It will be great! I am so excited to get the CD.

USU vs. BYU

Master of Wolves by: Angela Knight


Officer Faith Weston, head of the K-9 department of Clarkston, has lots of experience handling dogs. Except the kind that walk on two legs--like her lewd boss. So Faith puts up a front that reads "all business"...

Jim London is outraged over the death of his friend, a fellow bounty hunter and werewolf--and thinks the police department of nearby Clarkston cooked up a phony story about Tony's murder. The only way to find out is to go undercover. And, in his wolf form, Jim can do that better than anybody...

Velocity by: Dean Koontz


If you don't take this note to the police...I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher...If you do...I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have six hours to decide. The choice is yours.

The typewritten note under his windshield seems like a sick joke. But in less than twenty-four hours, Billy Wiles, an ordinary, hardworking guy, is about to see his life take on the speed of a nightmare.

Because a young blond schoolteacher is murdered--and now Billy has another note.

And another deadline.

This time he knows it's no joke. He's racing a killer faster than evil itself. And Billy must accept his terrifying challenge: The choice is yours.

SNOW!!!

It is finally snowing today!!! It took forever to snow, but it is now! This is a pic of the house across the street taken from my room. IT'S SNOWING!!!

Cell by: Stephen King


I would totally be a phone-crazy or phone-person. I never go anywhere without my cell phone, so I would be screwed. This was an excellent book and I could hardly put it down.

Graphic artist Clay Riddell was in the heart of Boston on that brilliant autumn afternoon when hell was unleashed before his eyes. Without warning, carnage and chaos reigned. Ordinary people feel victim to the basest, most animalistic destruction.

And the apocalypse began with the ring of a cell phone...

PAGE EXCERPT:
The guy in th Mister Softee truck bent down and held out a sundae cup. From it rose a white Alp with chocolate and strawberry sauce coursing down its sides. His beard-stubbly face was impassive. It said he'd seen it all before. Clay was sure he had, most of it twice. In the park someone screamed. Clay looked over his shoulder again, telling himself it had to be a scream of joy. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a sunny afternoon on the Boston Common, it pretty much had to be a scream of joy. Right?

The woman said something unintelligible to Maddy and flipped her cell phone closed with a practiced flip of the wrist. She dropped it back into her purse, than just stood there, as if she had forgotten what she was doing or maybe where she was.

"That's four-fifty," said the Mister Softee guy, still patiently holding out the ice cream sundae. Clay had time to think how f***ing expensive everything was in the city. Perhaps the woman in the power suit thought so, too--that, at least, was his first surmise--because for a moment more she still did nothing, merely looked at the cup with its mound of ice cream and sliding sauce as if she had never seen such a thing before.

Then there came another cry from the Common, not a human this time but something between a surprised yelp and a hurt yowl. Clay turned to look and saw the dog that had been trotting with the Frisbee in its mouth. It was a good-sized brown dog, maybe a Labrador, he didn't really know dogs, when he needed to draw one he got a book and copied a picture. A man in a business suit was down on his knees beside this one and had it in a necklock and appeared to be--surely I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing, Clay thought--chewing on its ear. Then the dog howled again and tried to spurt away. The man in the business suit held it firm, and yes, that was the dog's ear in the man's mouth, and as Clay continued to watch, the man tore it off the side of the dog's head. This time the dog uttered an almost human scream, and a number of ducks which had been floating on a nearby pond took flight, squawking.

"Rast!" someone cried from behind Clay. It sounded like rast. It might have been rat or roast, but later experience made him lean toward rast: not a word at all but merely an inarticulate sound of aggression.

Thanksgiving

I got to go home for Thanksgiving which was totally cool. I left Tuesday, and my planes went from Salt Lake at 6:15 am to Las Vegas at like 6:35 am (NV time). Than it left Vegas at 8:40 am to Reno at 9:55 am. It was a little retarded because the plane had to totally bipass Reno to get to Vegas, but oh well. I had an absolute blast when I went home. On Tuesday, I went to my old high school to see Mrs. Bice and Mrs. Archey. Mrs. Archey was sick adn so I wasn't able to see her, but I got to see Mrs. Bice, which I was totally happy to do. Then on Wednesday, I took Connor and Karissa to the pool so I could see my old coworkers. We had fun doing that. On Thursday, it was Turkey Day. We had Stan over for dinner, since he has no family in Nevada and didn't feel like spending Turkey Day alone. Also, Mom, Britt, and I worked on a 1000-piece puzzle that we finished that night after dinner.

Than on Friday, I got to see Alex and Jen, they actually came over for dinner, which was totally exciting.
Mom had bought another 1000-piece puzzle that we worked on and finished that night. We all had a blast. Saturday, I left to go back to Utah and did the exact same things that I did Tuesday, although it started at 3:55 pm this time.

New Hair Cut






I got a new hair cut on Friday, November 16. I absolutely LOVE it!!! It is nice and short. The lady who cut my hair said she was having an absolute blast doing it, she razored my hair, which was a first to me, what she did was she took a razor blade and just started going to town on the edges. It was different.

Broken by: Kelley Armstrong (6th in series)


Ever since she discovered she's pregnant, Elena Michaels has been on edge. After all, she's never heard of another living female werewolf, let alone one who's given birth. But, thankfully, her expertise is needed to retrieve a stolen letter allegedly written by Jack the Ripper. As a distraction, the job seems simple enough--only the letter contains a portal to Victorian London's underworld, which Elena inadvertently triggers--unleashing a vicious killer and a pair of zombie thugs.

Now Elena must find a way to seal the portal before the unwelcome visitors get what they're looking for--which, for some unknown reason, is Elena...

For centuries one of the ghost world's wickedest creatures has been loosed on humanity, thwarting every attempt to retrieve her.

It's a mission that becomes all too personal when the Nix targets those Eve loves most--including Savannah, the daughter she left on earth. But can a renegade witch succeed where a host of angels have failed?

Industrial Magic by: Kelley Armstrong (4th in series)


In the aftermath of her mother's murder, Paige broke with the elite, ultraconservative American Coven of Witches. Now her goal is to start a new Coven for a new generation. But while Paige pitches her vision to uptight thirty-something witches in business suits, a more urgent matter commands her attention.


Someone is murdering the teenage offspring of the underworld's most influential Cabals--a circle of families that makes the mob look like amateurs. And none is more powerful than the Cortez Cabal, a faction Paige is intimately acquainted with. Lucas Cortez, the rebel son and unwilling heir, is none other than her boyfriend. But love isn't blind, and Paige has her eyes wide open as she is drawn into a hunt for an unnatural-born killer. Pitted against shamans, demons, and goons, it's a battle chilling enough to make a wild young woman grow up in a hurry. If she gets the chance.

Hanzel and Gretel

Last night, Spencer took me to see Hanzel and Gretel in opera. It was really good, I really enjoyed it. The actors and actresses all did good. The person playing Hanzel, the brother, was a woman, probably because Hanzel had to sing some kinda high notes that a guy would have had problems with. Spencer took me because he needed to go for his Creative Arts class as a makeup for a previous performance he had missed. He kept trying to sleep through it, but I wouldn't let him. I'm so mean I know. :P

Dime Store Magic by: Kelley Armstrong (3rd in series)


Paige Winterbourne was always either way too young or too rebellious to succeed her mother as leader of one of the world's most powerful elite organizations--the American Coven of Witches. Now that she is twenty-three and her mother is dead, the Elders can no longer deny her. But even Paige's wildest antics can't hold a candle to those of her new charge--an orphan who is all too willing to use her budding powers for evil...and evil is all too willing to claim her. For this girl is being pursued by a dark faction of the supernatural underworld. Thy are a vicious group who will do anything to woo the young, malleable, and extremely powerful neophyte, including commit murder--and frame Paige for the crime. It's an initiation into adulthood, womanhood, and the brutal side of magic that Paige will have to do everything within her power to make sure they both survive.

USU vs. Denver University

USU played Denver University Saturday night in hockey. We lost 6-3. We managed to keep ahead throughout the first and second period, but in the third period, we lost it. Spencer didn't dress out for this game, which kinda pissed him off, but he got over it. Eric dressed out and only played two shifts in the third period for like 40 seconds each shift. It sucked really. Julie and them were still here, so they came as well. In the third period, there was one big fight, where it was three different little fights happening at the same time. I think one of the DU players was kicked out of the game, and two of our players left the ice, there was like 1:30 or 2 minutes left in the game, so it was ok. One of our guys had his eyelid split open, which really sucked for him, but I'm pretty sure he had enough girls to help take the pain away. Yeah, Spencer, Eric, and one other guy on the team are the only LDS guys on the whole hockey team. This is the pee-wee hockey players that played between the first and second period! Most of the time, they fell down and were sitting on the ice, it was really cute!
Aren't they fricking adorable!!! They are only between the ages of 5-7 at the most. It was sooo cute!

After the game, everybody went swimming-which meant me, Spencer, Eric, Julie, Ben (her husband), Kelsy, and Brad. After we went swimming, we stayed over at Spencer's house and watched Shrek 2 while Ben cooked some antelope for us to eat. It was really good! First time I've ever had wild meat.

USU vs. San Jose State

On Friday, USU played San Jose State in hockey. We lost I think it was 3-2 or something like that, I don't remember. It was a good game. Spencer's sister, Julie and her husband and daughter were here from Montana visiting and they came to the game as well. It was an ok game, we lost, which sucked, but I don't think we played our best. Spencer and Eric dressed out, but they never got to play during the game, which really sucked. Callie, who is Spencer's niece, was playing with my McDonald's animals that I had on my purse and she started to throw them around, and two of them fell down between the players' bench and the spectators' bench, and fell underneath. They're probably still there if the staff hasn't found them yet, I didn't feel like going under to get them, so I lost them, oh well. Callie was so cute that I couldn't get mad at anybody, and plus, I just didn't care at all, I still have three left, so I'm ok.
