Wow life has changed so much since the last post!!!
April- I got a new job in April working at Grand Canyon University! Yep I change Lives by getting people to go back to school and achieve their goals! WOOT WOOT! I actually really love it! but I miss my old coworkers SO MUCH!!

May- we celebrated 3 years of marriage!! woot woot! yep yep May 18th! life was busy so I told lance I wanted Taco Bell for Dinner and just wanted to watch a movie at home or something like that. I really wish we could have gone to Cali but since our Anni. was on a tuesday and life really got crazy after that we passed this time. Lance's sisters husband ended up in the hospital and what was suppose to be a normal sholder surgery to flush out an infection ended up putting him in the ICU in Gilbert Mercy and on a ventilator! he ended up having 2 strokes while in the ICU and Gilbert Mercy and it was scary there for a while!! many prayers and fasting was done in his behalf and he got transfered to St Joe's ICU.

June- He who is Roy is not out of the ICU and the ventilator machine was outof his room last week and he said 3 words , hi, yes and mom....and the other day he was finally able to see his 8th month old daughter Marlee after a few weeks and told Alli my sister in law that " today is the best day ever" he is talking more which is a miracle! but they have a long road ahead of them if your interested in helping and in the town of Maricopa click here http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=668959648#!/event.php?eid=128166593882582&ref=ts Brooklyn Boys has agreed to donate 15% of your tab to Roy Brandon print the flyer and take it in! :) if you can't make it but want to help go into any Wells Fargo and let them know you would like to make a donation to the Roy Brandon Benefit account.

Great Friends! it was gross and so funny!

GET ME OFF THE ROAD!!!!

ok so i know my last post was about my accident on march 8th 2010 well this is about my accident on march 16th 2010! p.s Happy 10 year Anniversary Monica and Dusty.

oh yeah this time i was in my car and some guy pulled out and hit me he got a ticket. my poor vue had to get towed to my parents house who were so kind to come pick me up! my shoulders were starting to hurt and my neck....so after a very long night of waiting for cops and tow trucks we left the accident scene at 8:40pm and i was blessed to get worked on that late before lance came in to pick me up. But seriously 8days...i'm so done with the commute! I told Lance I would carpool with the most obnoxious person in the world if that meant i wasn't the driver! lol i laugh but i am serious. i've been up since 5 tosing and turning trying to get comfortable...nothing seemed to work so i just got up..so much for sleeping in today.

so for all of you on the Road WATCH OUT!! BE SAFE!! and don't be a jerk when your the one who caused the acccident. BE NICE!

Cars + me= bad news

So August 2009 got into an accident...not my fault

March 2010 got into an accident...my fault:( but get this...i work at rural and southern, accident occured on mill and southern...grrrr

SERIOUSLY! I just want to ride my bike every where! my shoulder and neck are sore and i hate that! I don't like accidents!

sorry that was my venting on the good note! Lance is going to pick up infor today for Nursing School!! :)yay! i've been telling him to since Jan. all he needs is to get the finger print clearence card and then take the NET test i think is what they call it..and then he can submit his app. for shcool! woot woot! which means more then likely when he gets in it will be full time since part time is very hard to get into so we are figuring out finance's and all that fun stuff! woot woot! i'm really excited for him to get in! since his Associates degree is in pre med...its nice to know its going ot be used now! plus its nice to have him decide on his school/degree direction:) i'm excited for that!

Our Miracle.....

this all started in Oct when we noticed how expensive our internet bill was and I called in cause they were changing from normal to fiber optic so i called to get a tech out and i asked the lady i spoke with how we could get that lower cause its to much and we might have to go else where cause this is silly she takes a look and says lets see what we can do. she says oh with the fiber optic we can increase your internet speed and its cheaper and i thought sweet she said you will see that reflected with in the next 2 or 3 billing and i said ok sounds good and we got a 75 dollar gift card to qwest as well...well it didn't get lower and so we shopped and found Orbital in maricopa is cheap and people seem to like it out here so we called qwest to see what we could do to cancel and they in formed us we are in contract until oct 2011 and the cancellation fee would be 200.00 well we were expecting it to be up in july of this year so come to find out when i called in oct we weren't in a contract! we could have left in oct last year! but the lady did al lthat crazy stuff and didn't tell me! so the 1st lady Bridgette was very kind and foudn that all out for me...well we decided to cancel anyways and ya the 200.00 sucks but we figured with Orbital we had 2 months free it will balance out and the money i have been saving for lance's bday gift( ipod touch) will have to go toward cancelling which was sad to me. BUT! an Angel answered the phone with Qwest ! Lauren is her name she is a mother of 6 lds has a son on a mission in Argentina and a 12 yr old daughter who just got diagnoised with a genetic disorder and docs are giving her 10 maybe 12 years before it takes her life. and this wonderful Women was able to waive the 200.00 cancellation fee! if only I talked to her in Oct! so those of you with Qwest there are ANGELS who work there and beware of the DEVILS for they work there too. ok devils is alittle strong...but you know what I mean! she was a joy to talk to and such a blessing! that was Our Miracle today :) Life is good! God Lives! he will prepare a way for you in your life if you let him in. i am so grateful for our Tender Mercies that come in our lives! if you don't think you have gotten one look closer at your situation and give thanks for your life and for TODAY! Heavenly Father is watching over us and he really does listen to our prayers!

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

I have had this song stuck in my head today which makes me laugh cause I LOVE RAINY DAYS!! this morning was so beautiful! My Garden Loved the RAIN! however Mondays to make me Frown :( I love this song though it reminds me of my Parents..they both LOVED the Carpenters! so I grew up with alot of their music and love them as well!

Well life has been busy and we have been sick and thats never fun but we did get to hang out with Lance's family this weekend which was nice I jsut wish we could have felt better. but then if Lance was feelin' better we would have been in Mexico this weekend with our Great Friends! but a Rain Check was accepted! so I look forward to next time!

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.....

The Life of The McGee's
