Lance Brown.

Happy Birthday.

You've taught me what it means to be a good friend.

old 'n feeling it.

Sophomore Year? Bliss.
Junior Year? Party.
Senior Year? Wondering how life could pass by so quickly.
My Mum always warned me, not to wish my life away.
To enjoy every moment.
She of course was right. Gosh Danget.
.
Tonight, I finished applying for College.
I'm old.
In a short time, I will have a diploma of my own.
This is life. & it is faster then I thought.

vitamin D.

girls have it rough.

original, i know.

but there are some things we can control in our lives, that make life, not so rough.

our legs for example.

yes, it is hard to change the shape of them, but we sure can change the feel of them.

my advice:

1. forget about all the advertisements for "sexy smooth leg" razors. they work, for about a day.

if you want a real smooth feeling, use the men razors. they cut closer to the skin, but don't actually cut the skin.

2. continue to use woman's shaving cream. woman's shaving cream tends to have more moisture, leaving your legs with a shiny look.

3. moisturize, moisturize, & well, moisturize.

4. drink lots of water. water makes your skin look healthier, & gives it a natural glow.

vanity did it to me.

prom season.
ohhh how i hated you.
until, of course, i was asked.
then i without a doubt loved you.
.
it starts with the perfect dress.
 the dress that will express your individuality.
the dress that will make you look outstanding.
.
after, the shoes.
high, but not too high.
shoes that will look those legs of yours look the best possible.
.
then, the accessories.
earrings. bracelets. rings.
not too much, but not too little. only the perfect amount will do.
.
after all your running around, & stressing, prom comes.
.
enjoy your day of vanity. you only have permission once a year for this.

P.C.H.

Are you confused?

Well, it's okay. Don't be. It's all fine.

This is me, though.

.

I would tell you what's wrong with me, but that would be a long list.

In short, just know, I'm a bit of... unexpected-ness.?

.

Life is sorta funny. It gives us bumps in the road.

I am starting to believe that life gives us lemons when we least expect it.

I think I'm right.

.

Any who, I've been having health problems since I was 13.

They didn't actually become a bother until I was 14.

I had a seizure.

It was, intense. To say the least.

.

Now, I am 17. & I am still struggling.

Today will be day 10 that I have been "unfit" to attend school.

Awesome? No, not really.

This is nothing like a vacation.

.

Parents broke the news to me slowly.

"Nat, if this continues, you're out of PGHS"

Okay, yeah not very slowly.

Basically, I have a week. If I'm not better by then, then, See ya ol pg.

hi.

My name is Natalie Awhina Keay Britsch

I was born in Provo, Utah on December 18, 1993.

I've moved about 15 times, & I like it.

I cheer for BYU, but I will be attending UofU.

I want to get an MBA.

I like surprise visits.

I hate being home alone at night.

I work at Cold Stone in American Fork.

My neighbor is a cop, & that comforts me.

I'm not that smart, but I try really hard.

I believe we all carry a sob story with us.

I may not know you, but I probably like you.

I enjoy people watching.

When I'm around people I don't know, I'm very quiet. I like to watch.

If you know me, I hope you like me.

But, if not, I don't care enough to try & change your mind.

I love music. Though I'm not a musician.

I love having a boyfriend. But I am not looking for one.

Fresh laundry out of the dryer, is a pleasure from heaven.

If I get to heaven, I imagine Ava Maria will be playing.

twice a year.

this weekend, i had the opportunity to watch General Conference.
i love General Conference. the leaders of this church, talk to me.
.
unfortunately, i had work sunday evening.
but, i decided i would put on a smile, & act like i wanted to be there.
it was fascinating.
.
when serving up ice cream, we ask what flavor & mix ins they'd like.
after that, it gets a bit awkward cause customers just stare at you until their ice cream is finished
which is why i like to engage in conversation.
i ask, "what did you do today?" yes, simple.
i was surprised how many people said, "well i'm lds, so i had to watch general conference, & i figured i deserved a reward."
.
i'd like to publicly thank all of the LDS customers i saw yesterday. you guys sure made me smile. for more then one reason.

mista.

"beautiful girls, all over the world, i could be chasing, but my time would be wasted. they got nothing on you baby. nothing on you"

sound familiar? if not, then you must have lived in a hole last year.

like almost every popular song, i have a memory linked to it.

.

American Fork High School Prom, 2010.

.

There was a boy I was quite found of, & he asked me to prom.

I'm very sure, to this day, he must have taken a lesson or two about making a "Perfect Moment"

Because, he did in fact make a Perfect Moment.

.

Mr. Bruno came through the speakers, & he  asked me to dance.

Amazing, that even when you spend all day with a boy,

your heart still races every time he says anything to you.

I quickly tried to gather my thoughts, & I accepted his invite.

.

He took my right hand in his, & put his other hand slightly above my waist.

Then, I heard his voice. He was singing, to me.

As I looked up to see his face, he leaned down & kissed my forehead.

Then gave me an old fashioned twirl.

I felt dizzy. How could this moment get any more perfect?

It did though, it became more perfect because I was officially on cloud nine.

.

As soon as the song ended, I remember saying to myself,

"Yes, this is the boy I want to marry."

.

.

.

But, obviously I have now changed my mind. So PSYCH about marrying him.

At least I can look back & remember the 3 minutes & 49 seconds that I was in love with him though.

facebook official.

cyber world is the strangest thing.

my friend & i decided to joke around with cyber world.

what do we do?

make ourselves facebook official.

.

don't ever do it.

(make yourself facebook official with another)

unless, of course, it's real.

in my case, it was not.

& we went into the situation knowing so.

.

i have learned from this experience though.

& let me share my reasons against doing this.

.

Reason 1) you might actually find the boy very attractive.

Reason 2) you might realize you wish it wasn't totally a joke.

Reason 3) you might expose your pathetic truths.

Reason 4) you might confuse e'ryone.

Reason 5) you might forget the line of joking verse exposing true feelings.

.
this all might happen to you,
because it may have happened to me.
.
but it's fine.

headline.

magazines are irritating me, more & more.
"Lindsey lohan is going to rehab!"
"jessica has been gaining some serious weight!"
"miley Cyrus's drug problem, public"
.
.
.
we all read those headlines.
& perhaps we even read the stories.
but, so what? are we meant to write them a letter, & help them?
what is the point of us knowing what celebrities go through?
.
.
.
lets write a new magazine.
lets write one for, well, us.
.
i want to read about the most in expensive, & fun dates.
i want to read on how to find modest dresses. or, how to make them "stylish" & modest.
i want to read how i can make my hair look it's best for my face shape.
i want to hear about the trial of a girl, but how she was able to over come it, & become stronger.
i want to know the real things.
.
to me, celebrities are in their world, but i'm in the real world.
i want to hear real life things.
.
i want to pick up a magazine, & feel empowered.
.
lets make a magazine.

check it off

how are your new years resolutions going?
are you still keeping strong?
i'd hope so. it is only the third month into the year after all.
.
mine are going fantastic.
on account of, i didn't make any.
lets face it, who actually accomplishes everything on their list?
.
if i were to make a new years resolution sheet, it would probably say the typical.
- loose ten pounds. - run a marathon. - do more service -become a millionaire.
you know, just the typical.
.
for this reason, i will be making a bucket list.
it seems far less intimidating. plus, i don't have to necessarily accomplish it all this year.
.
what's on your bucket list?

Brutsch.

my last name is Britsch.
brr-it-ch.
.
isn't it so funny?
go ahead, say it again.
.
are there any jokes that might go with that last name?
oh, i've heard a few.
"You're a real Britsch!"
"Bring your sister, & we'll have a pair of Britsch's!"
"Son of a Britsch."
"Dude, your shirt is so Britschn' "
.
luckily, for me, i have people all around me who have humor.
& they feel the need to be "original" & very "funny" when they learn my last name.
.
for that reason, i have decided to un-officially change my last name.
no, i am not getting married.
but, i will return my name back to it's original name.
(before america changed it, at Ellis Island.)
Brutsch.
brr-oo-sh
(except, you have to say it with a cool accent.)
.
it would be much appreciated if you would pass the word along.

Guapo.

streaaaking.

Bucket list : Go Streaking.

Strange, huh?

I've heard it gives you an adrenaline rush.

one unlike anything you've ever had.

Fear not world. When I streak, it will not be too crazy.

So, don't expect it at the next assembly, or the next concert.

It will be in the mountains.

Probably.

& I probably will enjoy it too much.

& want to know something else?

I probably won't have the guts to do it by myself.

but, it will be done.

streaking. it's the new black.

shhh. don't tell.

welcome to the family.

in case you haven't heard the news, my sister is getting hitched.
i've decided, and bestowed upon myself as the welcoming committee.
& i'm off to a great start...

last friday, i had to drive my sisters good ol,multi-colored, mazda 626.
it really is a great car.
( & no matter what color you wear, this car will match you in color. )

any who, i had to make the journey from orem to cedar city.
i packed the necessities.
somehow, my belongings didn't all stay in my bag.
though, i thought i did a marvelous job keeping them all in one place.

my sister gave me a request before i ventured home.
"get all your crap out of my car!"
well, i was quite busy, so i brushed it off.

after church, the fambam all came back to the corry residence,
and my soon to be brother in law got a little red when he saw me.
long story short, he was going through my sisters car, (trying to find one of his belongs)
where he found one of mine.
not a big deal, right?
except for the fact that the belonging, was a bra.
... & he at first thought it was my sisters.
then was told it was his fiances little sisters.

welcome to the family chase.
