Rainy Days and Monday....

Talkin' to myself and feeling old.Sometimes I'd like to quit;Nothing ever seems to fit;Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown;
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
What I've got they used to call the blues:Nothin' is really wrong;Feelin' like I don't belong;Walkin' around, some kind of lonely clown;
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Funny, but it seems that I always wind up-a here with you;Nice to know somebody loves me.Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do:Run and find the one who loves me. What I feel is come and gone before:No need to talk it out;We know what it's all about.Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown;
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do,Run and find the one who loves me. Hangin' around, nothing do to but frown;
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

To Tawnya on her 30th Birthday...

Dear Sister,

Growing up I always wondered what you would be doing if you were here with us. What kind of friends would you have? Would you let me tag along with you like Kristy and Nikki did? what would be your hobbies? Would you have a boyfriend in highschool? What would your husband be like? How many kids would you have!? Today you turn 30! I hope you can see how Mom and Dad have been so strong during all of this. I know they miss you and wonder what you would be doing if you were here with us on earth. I know there is a reason for everything in the this life and I don't know why you had to leave this earth so fast but I am grateful to have you helping us on the other side. I bet Your Beautiful! Just like the rest of us sisters ;) I still remember the day I swear I saw you in the living room in the Mirror. I wish my memory was better because back then I could close my eyes and see that face again but now I don't. I wish we could have played together here. I bet I choose to be the last to come so I could spend more time with you in Heaven before I came to Earth. Kristy names her little girl after you! but of course you already know that. You would be proud of what a Great job Kristy has done as the "oldest sister" she is amazing. I hope you liked the Daisies I left for you in Young. Thank you for being our little angel and for protecting our family. I love you so much! tell Grandpa Johnston I said Hi! and Tell Aunt Carol I'm jealous she gets to spend time with you now :) and please keep a close eye on Grandpa Coleman we want to keep him here as long as possible but Healthy. I'm sure you are watching out for him already. please tell Nikki's kids she is waiting to hold them in her arms! and to come anytime now! and could you give my kids an extra hug from their Mom who is waiting and who is excited for them to come when they are ready. I love you Tawnya! I am so glad we get to be together forever as a family. You have blessed our lives forever and I LOVE YOU! Thank you for all those moments that I have felt you near. I bet Heaven throws one awesome party!

With Lots of Love,

Your Littlest Sister

1st Hockey Game EVER!

So my work had tickets to the Coyotes game and I have never been to one and Lance and my sister Monica have said that the games are so much fun live and the fights are awesome . Lance didn't get off work till 6 so he stayed in maricopa and I went with my co workers, it was fun we went to Margarritaville which i had a california chicken sandwich and it was sooo yummy!!! i kept wanting to cheer and Christie my co worker kept laughing at me because i kept telling her i wanted to get on the BIG screen and she laughed and said Brittany I didn't drink that much! and i laughed harder cause for some reason i can make a foul out of my self sober and not care:) i just like to have fun:) anyways the game was ok much better then watching it on tv but didn't get to see any cool fights:( and it was missing my better half and so i was a little lost and kept having to ask Marc what was going on and what the fouls meant and what not lol but it was fun to go with my Co-workers Marc and his wife Ashley and Christie ...ps i still have yet to figure out how to load pictures where i want them to go...

2010

Well 2010 has started out crazy! lol we came home yesterday at 12:30ish in the morning to find cop cars blocking out street and we told the officer we were the house on the corner and if it would be ok if we just drove to our house they said no we have to park on the side of our house on the corner well when we were walking up cops were on our drive way taking pictures and we saw a good amount of blood....yes blood on our drive way i guess our neighbors had a party and it turned into a HUGE fight 15-20 people fighting and most of the blood was on our drive way crazy...yes..... anyways that was eventful! we had Madi and Nik over too which was fun!

this is the 2nd year though that it start/ends with me going to a funeral. last year i believe it was 12/30 i attending one of my favorite young women leaders funeral and it was so beautiful its gonna sound wired but it was the best funeral i have ever been to the spirit was so strong and it was just sooooo beautiful i still remmember the feeling i had that day. and now 12/31 my dear Aunt Carol passed away she is now walking and dancing in heaven and for the first time in over 25 years out of pain. I know she is rejoycing. its weird to think that i have an aunt that is in heaven now....she is the first of my aunts or uncles to pass on. her funeral is on the 8th and its just so crazy. we knew this day would come since she had not been doing well but its weird to think i won't see her at the reunions i won't get to hear her sweet stories of what book she is ready or have her ask me to braid her hair or have her tell me that she is old enough to be my mom though she doesn't look like it :) she aged well :) over and over again i count my blessings for the gospel and how we will be together forever.. and how Christ made that possible how grateful i am to my parents, family members, friends, seminary teachers, institute teachers, primary, yw, sunday school teachers who have taught me the prinicples of the gospel. I know I will see Aunt Carol and even my Grandpa and my Big Sis Tawnya again and that reunion will be ever so sweet.
Happy New Years! Enjoy the time you have with the ones you Love:)

Grandpa Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days..

My Grand Dad Is still in Love with My Grandma...You see I come From a Long Line of Love...

My Grandpa is one of the Greatest Man I have had the pleasure to know and have been so blessed to have him as My Papa :) Growing up I had 2 Grandpas but Grandpa C. Has been the Grandpa that has taken that role and ran with it:) He has been the grandpa that I have been blessed to really have a realationship with. He has always been there and growing up he always asked me what was up in my life and teased me and always told me he loved me and always had a hug and a kiss for me:) one of my favorite stories about him is the time when he kicked the trash out of a guy who lets just say was a pervert and Grandpa protects the girls in his life :)

But Papa isn't feeling well and is in alot of pain and I don't like when my loved ones are in pain. I wish I could take his pain away. but I know that Heavenly Father is Watching over him and that he Hears our Prayers and that no matter what happens everything is going to be ok because Families are Forever:)

Christmas is in the Air!

Ok so I love this time of year! Every year since this song came out I remember my Mom loved it! she always would try to tape it so she could listen to it anytime finally we were able to get the cd and find out who sang it and now its one of my favorites i don't know if its because of the song or because of the memories that come with it. I love my Mom! She is so wonderful and always made Christmas growing up the best! Here's the lyrics to the song by Amy Grant :)

Children carry through the streets

A brightly painted star

.Angels gather round the hearth,Strumming on guitars.

Men of great renown and faithSay prayers on boulevards.

It's the night before christmas.

But you don't have to be an angel To sing harmony.

You don't have to be a childTo love the mystery.

And you don't have to be a wise man On bended knee.

The heart of this christmas is in you and me

If your heart's been longing,You've been afraid to try,Sorrow's kept you company,

And the dance has passed by,

I'll lift you up and blaze with you

Across the moonlit sky

On the night before christmas.

'cause you don't have to be an angel To sing harmony.

You don't have to be a child To love the mystery.

And you don't have to be a wise manOn bended knee.

The heart of this christmas is in you and me.The heart of this christmas is in you and me.

All the Things you can Think...

Well we just Celebrated Braden and Heathers wedding! She looked amazing! it was tons of fun and they tried to be sneeky and hide their new XB and told us that they were taking Bradens truck...well after the ceromony i followed their XB and they parked it in a neighbors garage across the street from the reception! So the truck got Bradenized and the XB got classic wedding car treatment. Braden decorated our car, Jarmon and Kelseys,and Jenna and Kalob's....and when he decorates he destroys lol so we were all so happy to get even...and they ran out to their truck and lance was all payback braden! and Heather was all no! and laughed and ran across the street where the garage door came up and low and behold her "no one touches my new car!" was touched! much to her surprise! haha i told her thats what happens when we follow the car from the wedding!! it was Hilarious! we are so happy for them!!

So this week I got an MRI done on my thoracic spine and i got the results back and to no surprise I have 2 bulge discs. So no wonder i still am having pain and soreness. its no fun! i got an estim. on my car $2252 to fix it. It stinks to be in car accidents! i couldn't help clean up the reception on friday night cause my back and shoulder were so sore! anyways everyone drive safe and watch out for the other vehicals on the road.....

Loved Glinda! she was soo cute! and did a great job! and Lance who isn't a fan of the theater said it was " That was Pretty Good" now he understands why its my favorite musical! we had a blast and got to see tons of people from EA/ Thatcher! that was cool!

California here we come right back where we started from...

So Lishele and Sean's wedding was amazing! I ended up driving there by myself. they way there was horrible I thought I was going to go insain and then I got a Worlds Famous Date Skake in Dateland...yuck! it was good for a little bit and then the taste just got gross and more gross! after seriously it was only like 3 hours I thought I was going to go crazy then I finally got to the San Diego Temple and it was GORGEOUS!!! I loved it! its now my Favorite Temple! I then got to my uncle Kevin and Aunt Julias house and just in time to leave for my cousins play The Music Man! it was super good I loved it! Saturday the 18th I got to go to the Newport Beach Temple which is like 15 min away from my uncles house! that made it super nice! That was a beautiful temple! I loved it! then it was time to go to Lisheles wedding and it was beautiful she looked like a bride out of a magazine! the whole ceromony was really nice and they make the cutest couple! I got to see my cousin Kris who i hadn't seen in 10 years and that was so fun! the drive home was wonderful! I loved it! over all it was a blast and super nice to drive by myself and have that alone time:)

Update...

Well the Foutz Family Reunion was a blast! we spent a couple of more days with Mom and Dad and Tess and it was so good to be in Holbrook again! I love Family Reunions! plus every time I hang out with Lances family I am reminded just how blessed I am so have such wonderful In Laws! I consider them my own! We were thinking of going back up for the forth since Holbrook has a great 4th of July Celebration but we decided to stay in town and I forgot to get my camera out for the 4th! I am the worse at that! we celebrated the 4th at our casa and it was loads of fun! Friends and Family came over and we played games and ate yummy food and watched the fireworks while being eaten alive my the mesquites! and got our friends addicted to Nerts which is one of my favorite games of all time!! I think mainly because I played it when I was so young with cousins and family in Young and i have such great memories with it that I can't help but love it! and I plan to bring cards for the Johnston reunion in 2 weeks...yeah its the 3rd and last reunion of the summer :( I am way excited for it! next week I get to take a Road Trip with my Madre and we are going to Cali. for my dear sweet amazing Cousin Lishele's wedding!! yay!

I love the summer cause thats when all the Family Reunions are!! woot woot so here are a few of my favorite pictures my cute nieces and my sister kristy with her little Ton Ton and soon to be baby Savanna

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome...

Ok so Lance and I have been trying to have a baby since feb '08 and I missed my period and was so excited! I then took a HPT and it read NEG. I then waited a month after my missed period and took another HPT and still NEG i finally went to the drs office where they did 2 blood test and they came back NEG. I then have kept Walgreens in business solely on HPT's lol so I have had Dr appoinments after Dr Appoinments and Blood Tests and Today I finally was given Answers! I haven't had a period since March 17th and its now May 27th and Aunt Flow still has yet to come...well she won't be coming for awhile :( I had an ultrasound done today in which I was praying they would find a little peanut however all there was to find was dozens and dozens of Cysts in both ovaries! The tech then explained that it looks like i have Polycystic cysts which she explained that basicly most women have 2 or 3 cysts i have dozens..also when the egg usally gets released my body doesn't it instead grows bigger and splits into multiple cysts and cause me to miss periods. So I then Talked to the NP Lauren and she gave me the results of my blood work and told me that my testonstone levels were high and that the ultrasound confirmed the polycystic cysts and that my pregestrene levels were low and that my fasting insulin was on the high side. Diabetes ru nin my family like crazy! My Grandmas twin died of comlications with Diabetes and my grandpa on my moms side has diabetes along with an aunt and an uncle. She said with polycystic ovary syndrome it can cause diabetes so she perscribed me Metformin because she said that helps the insulin levels and helps to get my period also. My Grandpa was on that medication before and my aunt said it wasn't very good for him. I am a little worried about taking it. my grandmother has had Polycystic cysts before and she was able to get rid of them naturally. I would like to do what she did and if that doens't work then go on Medications I am not a fan of Medications at all! and my body is not use to those either! I found a website that has tons of natural ways its http://www.pcos.insulitelabs.com/ my mom gave me this website and i'm excited to read more and see what i can do to get rid of this. Its frusterating to me because i have always tried to eat healthy and excerize and do the right things and i try to not worry about it cause that doesn't help at all. So for all those who are wondering if the McGees are prego the answer is NO. As much as I know thats a question everyone asks people who are LDS and have been married as long as me and Lance have been but believe me when I am Pregnant I will shout it out to the whole world! until then those who have babies hold them a little longer tonight for all the women who haven't gotten there Miracle yet. love to you all
