gone trekin.

for something i entirely loathed four years ago, and refused to never do again. i was astonished at how much fun i had on trek. in fact it might be my second favorite thing i've done this summer.

i especially loved my family. they were amazing and we had a blast together. our experiences on trek consisted of..sitting on a school bus for 6 hours.. and we walked...and walked...and waited...and walked...and walked...and walked...and waited...and walked...and walked...and hydrated...maybe urinated (had to GO)...and walked...and walked...and walked...and pushed...BAGER HOLE!!! and pulled...and walked...and walked...and got rabies...and walked...and walked... and walked...and slept??? and walked...and walked... and walked... and blistered...and walked...and bled... and laughed...and cried...and walked... and screamed...and walked... and tents collapsed...and walked...and "iv"ed... and walked... and walked...and got wet...and walked... and ate...and walked... and got dehydrated...and "half-wayed"...and walked... and walked... and walked... and star tripped...and walked... at least we're not dead... yet. 

i love you anderson family! and our adventures (: thanks for helping me see that i can do hard things. and that i also don't have to do hard things alone.

park city.


first of all. new years was spent quoting this. hahaa i love it! don't judge.
second.. ski trips really suck when there's no snow. cause there is no skiing. just playing games, walking on main street, texting a boy i'm smitten over... really smitten over, more games, listening to chirstian, denver, and jackson play the xbox... endlessly. you get the picture. right?

also, i have an awkward story.. that happend on this ski-less, ski trip. some of us decide to go to the cow store on main street.. Christian, Caleb, Gaven, Mckinnah, Gabby, and myself to be exact. we were walking down the stairs that lead to main street. mckinnah and i were having a lovely conversation you see.. it went something like this..

Mckinnah: wow i don't even match.
Bre: well i'm not even wearing pants!!!!

then i realize a very attractive boy is walking up the stairs, and the look on his face... hahahahaa priceless.

Bre: ummmm i'mmmm uhhh wearing leggings.

yep awkward. enough said. 

well anyway happy 2012 (: 
hope it's lovely.

2011 park city bucket list

1: sleep out on the deck





we only were a little bit cold.. hahaa but hey it was so worth it.. maybe.. hahaa the one night there was a random baby crying at like one in the morning.. we could have possibly woke the poor thing up.. but still.. and then the night kinnah woke me up like three times.. cause she apparently heard something in the bushes.. hahaa i vaguely remember yelling at her to just go to bed.. hahahaa










2: stalk cute boys on main street
see that young man with the hat.. (the one inside the store.. not the ones outside...) he was the cutest one we found... and let's be real.. he wasn't even that cute.. it was quite a bummer..






3: make a random craft
(this one was a fail.. it went uncompleted..)

4: have a photo shoot


not some of the best pictures i've taken.. but whateves.. i'm mostly over it.. okay not really.. i need to step up my game..








5: go inside the boogie man's house

 as you can see.. you go through the creeper door here.. and well in the pictures below.. you kinda see how creepy it is inside.. and how scared we were. umm can i just tell you it smelled like death in there.. yucky. the boogie man is in desperate need of a shower.. and some deep cleaning.. just saying. ohh and the picture of the three of us.. that would be my grandmas favorite picture. and i promise you i don't always look like a beast.. only most of the time.. and no we didn't pee our pants.. hahaa hannah came close though.. hahaa just kidding.



6: shop until we drop
six hours of shopping.. yuck. hahaa it was okay for the first two hours. then it just got a bit out of control..







7: call a boy on our contact lists.
 umm yeah.. let's get this clear right now.. this was totally mckinnah's idea.. and let's just say.. this only made me feel like a loser.. hahahaa because the guy i selected.. didn't even answer.. ha and i love that my cousin that is three years younger than me has a boyfriend that she can call.. and i don't hahaa makes me feel pretty cool...


8: write all our friends letters and send them in the mail

this was my personal favorite (: i felt so old fashioned!! hahaa our aunts and grandma made fun of us cause we didn't know how to use the mail system.. but guess what. now we're pretty much professional at the whole letter thing. (: seeing as i wrote like 12 kinnah wrote like 10 and hannah wrote 8.

9: watch the help
okay everyone listen up. go see this movie. it is amazing. and i encourage you to all read the book too. if you haven't. it's pretty much a life changing experience. at least it was for me. i'm telling you this is definitely in my top ten favorite movies.. i love it!!!!





10: go to the cow store! because it's the best!
everyone must go to this store. (: it's pretty much the greatest thing e.v.e.r. i absolutely l.o.v.e this store!! but then again i am a bit obsessed with cows. don't ask me why. cause that's a whole other story that i don't really care to share at the moment.. hahaa









11: get shakes and/or ice cream
mmm ice cream!! and guess where we got it...? the cow store of course!!! mmm it was quite tasty. and yes ice cream did get all over my pants, face, hands, and camera. i'm a messy eater what can i say...?



12: make some kind of treat
 oreos on a fork (: mmmmm don't even worry we went through 4 packages of oreos. 3 cool mint. 1 regular to be exact. (: and special thanks to taresa who bought us the cutest little forks. so we could eat the oreos the right way!










13: color
(another fail.. this didn't happen)

14: tan
(yep this was also a fail)

15: have a picnic
(this would also be a fail.. but lets be real we just didn't think that through... mckinnah.. ha we always go out to lunch.. how are we supposed to picnic..?)

16: go window shopping
someone please get me this hat for christmas... that would make my whole year.






(that was a joke)





17: watch a scary movie
(fail. although i still think that one robot movie that never ends was pretty creeptastic.. but whatever)

18: draw with chalk

we traced ourselves on the road. hahaa we even got aunt sarah and aunt heather to join in (: hahaa priceless!! and check out how yucky our feet got.. yeah i wanted to puke.. but hey mine aren't as bad as mckinnah's are.. and she was chilling in the road.


hahahaa and that was quite priceless.. she told me to tell her if a car came. so i thought hey i'll be funny and yell car!!! hahahaa i never saw someone freak out so much in my life.. hahaa


19: try stuff on in stores and take pictures
(fail.. we were so done with shopping that we were all butt hurt and in a bad mood.. hahaa)

20: sew
(i was really butt hurt that we didn't get to this one.. but there wasn't really room on the table.. and well we just were real busy..)

21: do sit ups at midnight thirty
( okay we always fell asleep right before this one could take place. but i did do 30 day shred with sarah! and we went on a 4 mile run (: )

22: paint nails
this one happened but the computer is making me mad and wont upload the dang picture


23: ride the trolly
we also rode the trolly and i had the cutest pictures. (stupid computer that won't let me upload my pictures.)
