Enough Said

Color Me Mine

"There are not more than five primary colors, yet in combination they can produce more hues than can ever be seen."

Grab life by the horns. Apply to grad schools you think are outrageous, drink diet coke, knock on a strangers door, and go to Hindu festivals. Life is way too short not to have experiences. Experiences are what makes your life colorful. Dance in your living room to awful music and leave a roommate a random note. I'm starting to understand and appreciate the "five-minute" moments that make life so fun. 

Grades are important, jobs must be worked, and responsibility doesn't go away but none of these matter if you aren't enjoying it. 

Thanks Hollywood House for reminding me how to live. 

Waiting. . .

"The truth is, those who diligently seek to learn of Christ eventually will come to know Him. They will personally receive a divine portrait of the Master, although it most often comes in the form of a puzzle—one piece at a time. Each individual piece may not be easily recognizable by itself; it may not be clear how it relates to the whole. Each piece helps us to see the big picture a little more clearly. Eventually, after enough pieces have been put together, we recognize the grand beauty of it all. Then, looking back on our experience, we see that the Savior had indeed come to be with us—not all at once but quietly, gently, almost unnoticed. "

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

A few weeks ago I got asked to be someone's valentine. I was thrilled and honored to have such a stud actually ask ME, Brittainy Rieske, to be their valentine.

So here are the Ten reason why I absolutely adore my valentine...
1. In it to win it. This person has been by my side for almost two years.
2. Trendiness. I look to this person to get in touch with my inner hipster.
3. Great listener. I'm constantly turning to this person to vent and divulge all my inner secrets too.
4. Dance moves. Oh man. Boy are they great.
5. Willingness to go with it. I make this person do all sorts of things that are out of the norm.
6. Nurturing ability. Gives the best back rubs when I don't feel well.
7. They love me for my collection of Arkansas sweatshirts.
8. Common love for DC. No explanation needed.
9. Netflix watching buddy. Perfect person to watch an entire season of any trashy show with.
10. Keeps me grounded. Our perceptions are different but because of this I'm able to see a different twist to life.

Who is this amazing person?

My roommate Devaun Sheppard.

Happy V-day Devo! I'm so glad you are mine! :)

Sometimes

"The editor, director plus I'm my own boss

So posh, nails fierce with the gold gloss

Which means nobody getting over me

I got the swag and it's pumping out my ovaries"

-Kreayshawn

Sometimes we will be in our room, on our computers, and Devaun will smile. I know that's my cue to check FB for something funny on my wall.

Then we laugh for a few moments. Then go back on with life. I'm sure other people don't think what we are saying back and forth via internet blog website is funny, but we find it hilarious. If they only knew what happens here in the Hollywood house they would be weezing right along with us.

Sing it Kreayshawn.

Say Yes to the Dress

"I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants."

 -Whitney Houston

For 20-30 hours a week I hear all about love, weddings, and flowers. I'm surrounded by tulle, taffeta, and satin. So what has all this wedding gown experience been teaching me?

1. Some people have horrible taste in clothing. 
2. A size 16 can look just as pretty as a size 2 if she is confident and happy.
3. Tell girls what they want to hear. 
4. Anytime I work for a boss that just happens to be in the Motab she is going to be a tad eccentric
5. Love exist for everyone and it happens in crazy ways.

     6. Having two jobs doesn't mean you make a ton of money. It just means you are a ton of tired.

I'm extremely happy with the things that are happening in life. I'm even more happy about the fact that in the near future there may involve karaoke. 

As Cougar (first name, not last name, not nick name) my "sex ed" teacher tells us.

Be cool. Have fun. Be young & drink kool aid.

 

The Secret

"Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible."

-Charles Haanel

The next semester will be intense to say the least however I have the secret. Poke fun but I will get through it just fine as long as I keep my attitude in check. 

I started my new job at Gowns by Pamela and it's just like I thought it would be. I have 17 credits of fun but before you know it the summer will be here and I will be headed to Thailand. Go team!

In the mean time. I have a cool roomie that brings snacks to sacrament.
