Bring on the Holidays!

This last weekend was a blast! 

Brian, Sarah, Cody, and I all went walking through Winter Haven. Sarah and I raced to post the pictures on Facebook as soon as we got in the car on the way to dinner. (Photos on blog soon to come.) We also helped decorated Sarah and Cody's Christmas Tree. Which for $40 was an amazingly poofy tree. haha! 

Saturday Brian and I went with his sister Holly to the park and had our pictures taken. They came out amazingly and everyone should check out Holly Himebaugh Photography as soon as they get a chance. 

Saturday night followed with Sarah and Cody's Christmas party. Many people came and it ended shortly after a marshmallow war in the back yard sometime after midnight. We ended up taking pictures, but judging that Sarah hasn't posted them, they more than likely didn't come out too well. haha!

Hope all is well with everyone! Can't wait to see you all over the Holidays!

Celebration

"You can tell what's worth a celebration because your heart will pound and you'll feel like you're standing on top of a mountain and you'll catch your breath like you were breathing some new kind of air." -Bird Baylor

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday where my family gets to do something other than work and relax at home with good food and joyful company. This year I'll be able to actually make it to the festivities in Kingman and see the family and close friends while Brian will be also celebrating the holiday with his wonderful family in Tucson. I'm going to miss him like crazy, but we'll both have plenty of stories to share. 

We haven't been up to much since our treacherous hike. Lately our weeks have been so boggled with work stress that we've been more than happy watching movies on the couch than to be as active as we normally would be. Halloween was fun, we carved Pumpkins with Sarah and Cody and Sarah introduced Cody to the horrors of the movie Grudge while I fled the village back to the city. (Only 17 more weeks of this traveling crud!) All is well!

Everyone have a WONDERFUL Holiday and I hope you all get plenty of time off from work and many Noms.

Busy Weekend

Brian and I have a busy weekend ahead of us. He's coming to Phx tonight so we can go to Rey's "Bad Movie Night" Party, and then tomorrow we're off to Tucson for Cody and Sarah's Toga Party. And No, I don't have a sheet for a Toga. Natalie is saving my non-Toga pail tail and bringing me a sheet tomorrow. Le Sigh. Either way I'm very excited to see Brian. I miss him a lot over the week. Only 5 more months and the long distance is OVER. I'll be safe and secure with him in Tucson.

Last weekend was a very good and exercising weekend. Brian helped me achieve 12,300 steps on Saturday. It didn't quite save me from the spider from the land of DOOM but hey, they're haunting me. (Don't ask.)

 We had dinner with Brian's Parents and Sisters on Sunday morning, which was wonderful. I love his Parents, they are so welcoming and very sweet and his Sisters crack me up, they're just so much fun! We missed out on seeing Matt since he lives in Tempe now, but we'll have to make it over there to see him soon. After all, I only live a few blocks away.

All is wonderful in the life right now. I couldn't be happier! 

Suki loves Brian!

Intro to BriLex!

Hi! My name is Alexis and this is my Blog to keep family and friends up to date with how Brian (the love of my life) and I are doing and what we're currently up to. Soon to come I'll be moving to Tucson to go to school at U of A for my Biochem degree and Brian and I wont be dealing with a long distance relationship anymore! Hooray! Although, we have proved that long distance can be done if you try hard enough and are that committed. It's also because we rock! In the words of Lem and Phil from TV show Better off Ted, "Deal with it!" 

As of recent events my 25th birthday passed on the 5th as well as Brian and I's 6 month anniversary. Brian did everything in his power to make sure it was the best birthday ever, and he succeeded. I was pampered and cooked for, for the entire 3 day weekend. Not to mention he bought me beautiful roses and some amazing games! We also just recently made a trip to Kingman to visit my parents near my Mom's birthday. We had a blast chatting up the folks and again getting pampered by awesome food. Guys, this is bad for my diet!

On another note I would like to say Happy Birthday to my friends Travis, Jena, Natalie, Aaron, Sara, and Karen! Happy Anniversary Lori and Zac! And Happy Mabon to all my Witchy friends!
