Hi, I’m Brittany. I’ve been living in Alabama my entire life. I was born in Mobile on the gulf coast, and seven years ago this November, I moved inland four hours from my small town to a bigger city called Birmingham. I have met a lot of really great people here, and I am happy to call both places home. I love quilts. Because I am always freezing cold. I was born on July 12th, which makes me a cancer. That’s supposed to mean that I am emotional, loving, intuitive, imaginative, shrewd, cautious, protective and sympathetic, changeable, moody, overemotional, touchy, clinging and unable to let go. Which I think describes me perfectly, more-so the latter ones. I could be better with the first few. It is said that the quickest way for cancers to rebound is to do what they do best: nurture others. I am usually good about serving others, but if I am honest I have to tell you that 99% of the time I am thinking of the praise I’ll get afterwards, not how I am doing something for others that they can’t do for themselves, or how it should make me feel more like my Savior. I could be better about that, too. My lucky number is and always will be 3. It pops up in front of me in the most obvious and undeniable ways. I can hear my daddy whistle a mile away. I love snow, and Christmas. I love the smell of cinnamon, and vanilla. I love having the last word. I love cooking Italian food. I love music. My favorite sound is the sound of fingers on guitar strings. I love musicals: Les Miserables, Wicked, and The Scarlet Pimpernel. I love records and cassette tapes. I love old buildings, especially with chipping paint. I love hammocks on misty mornings. I love stars and sunsets and grocery shopping and kids smiling. I believe that there are two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. I try to be in the first group; there is always much less competition. I love cats that are yours but you never ever see them unless it’s three in the morning and they are eating out of their food dish. I like to paint. I love taking pictures, and reading, and naps on the couch. I love rainy Sunday afternoons. I love the smell of the attic. I love broken things. I love writing in my journal, and wearing dresses. I love movies. Especially the sappy romances. I think every once in a while you just need fries and a chocolate milkshake and your mom. I believe the small things are just as important as the big things. I love picking up a cookbook and closing my eyes and opening it to a random page, then attempting to make that recipe. I think that sometimes you have to let your heart speak louder than your head, and vice versa. It takes a delicate balance of those two things to be happy. I love my family to pieces, and I can’t wait to start one of my own one day. I was blessed with two little sisters, and two little brothers who I loved growing up with. I love my parents; My dad who was never slow to let me tag along anywhere he went when I was little, and My mom who has taught me so much about living and living right. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so grateful to have been born into the true gospel of Jesus Christ! To know that I am a child of the Most High God, that I have an Older Brother who lives and loves me more than I could ever know has always been my greatest comfort. Beneath all the make-up and the smile, I’m just a girl who wishes for the world. And I’m a Mormon.
I’m pretty excited you’ve read all of this. This was ridiculously long, and you probably have other stuff you could've done in the last four minutes. So to you, I love you like I love peanut butter, and sweatpants. And that’s real love. -♥
Nice blog. You'll have a lot of fun with it!
