Happy birthday to a great sister missionary who taught me the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was because of your love for our Savior and your testimony of his love that I joined the Church. I loved going on splits and visiting in your tiny apartment. Your smile brings back memories. Thanks for your example. Have a wonderful day!!!!

These comments are hard because there are so many memories. Should I do a funny one? An embarrassing one? A sweet one?.... hmmmm... maybe all of the above!

Funny: You were so cute as a baby and this particular day I picked you up and was telling you how cute and sweet you were, then out of nowhere you hit me right between the eyes with a heavy glass coaster... BIGGEST GOOSE EGG EVER arose on my brow!!! I think you thought I was funny when I began to squeal in pain because you started laughing. I bet you were only about a year old. Good times. Good times.

Embarrassing: Should I tell the story about peeing your pants on your mission? Ummmm.... yes. You apparently had to GO bad, and your companion wouldn't let you go back to the apt for... well let's just say until it was too late. That wasn't the bad part, the Elder's came to talk to you and your companion outside and down the street from your apt. and you did the pee-pee dance the whole time you talked to them. Then you went over and went pee pee in a bush... fully clothed. That's right!!... through the panty hose and into the shoes! Then you sloshed home. When you told me this story I about wet my pants laughing!

Sweet: This one is easy because there are many to choose from. You have always loved people. The little old homeless lady that was homeless and mentally ill was your friend (from afar... you always waved to her when we would pass her on the street). The day it hailed so hard it broke our window in our house you ran in and instead of being scared for us, you begged me to take you to go find that woman and see if she was alright. I loved you for that. You've always been sensitive to the needs of others.

Happy Birthday darling! I love you.

I will always remember when we went and got pictures taken together (my senior pics and your mission pics). I wish I could find those pics of us!! And then afterwards we went to Macayo's for dinner and we jammed out to Hillary Weeks in the car! Good times! You are a great sister and I have to agree with what mom said about you! You have such a kind and caring heart and you are very sensitive to other peoples feelings.

Happy birthday Briannee!!!

The Pritchard Party said...

happy birthday!!! I remember when you, me and Ashley were at rehearsals for the stake play and we were all sharing funny stories and we were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe and had tears coming down our faces. lol... I love you!

The Pritchard Party said...

hahahahaha.... I wasn't going to mention that the pee story was one of the stories, but I guess your mom already did that. :)

Krista said...

Happy Birthday Brianne!! I have to agree with Mom... these are hard to answer.
I can remember all the times we had to "clean" our room when we were kids and we played dry cleaners... you know it took us ALL day to clean our room because we were playing at the same time. (We probably would of had a clean room in like 30 minutes... but instead we took the long and FUN route)
I also remember a LOT of the fun time in the car! SINGING LOUD and having a blast all at the same time!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday! Love you!

Molly said...

Happy Birthday!!! :) I hope it was wonderful and that you are still celebrating!!

Shelly Rowlan said...

Hmm. I remember when I went on a huge dating-line-up spree with you and Lacey. Do you remember that? And I lined you up with random people I had never even met? It was my neighbor's brother, my friend's daughter-in-law's brothers, and I can't even remember who else. And then you would call me and tell me how it went and one time one of them dated Lacey for a while, right? Can't really remember, but I do remember you calling to 'debrief' about each date and the participants. Funny.

-this is Billy- The memory I will leave is when we were driving from Oregon to Utah to Arizona. I was officially moving down to AZ and we were arriving in Winnemuka, NV for gas and more drinks, etc. Well, we were calling my parents, your parents and even Bill and Ginger in UT to let everyone know where we were. I remember you having such a hard time saying "winnemuka" it was hilarious! Even after I had corrected you a dozen times, you still couldn't say it right! We were on our way to UT and still laughing of course, when I glance over and see you with your hand over you mouth, trying not to laugh as you had just taken a swallow of DR Pepper. Being the safe driver that I am I looked back at the road and then looked over at you again. DR Pepper was spraying out of your nose, mouth...I didn't realize that you had taken such a large drink! The next few minutes are a little fuzzy...I do remember trying to drive in a straight line and find a gas station for you to change your clothes while laughing so hard I couldn't breathe!
Wow! Just the memory is bringing back the tears!!!

Okay so I am just catching up on my blogs since being gone.

I have way too many memories. My favorite ones though when you were having a rough day and we went and got drinks at 7 11 and you were like "oh they have the good ice, I LOVE this ice" then you hit your head on the machine! We laughed so hard. It got you smiling again though! (Yes I expanded on that, just so everyone else could laugh too.) Our sneaky cheesecake runs are always a classic!!
I remember one of those blind dates Shelly mentioned, you ate some cheese you were allergic to or something and ended up getting sooo sick.
Then of course the memeroies of you always being there for me when I needed you and listening to me cry over all my "boy problems' and whatever else was going on. You always were and are such a great friend. I love you.

Hope you had a good birthday!

How appropriate is it that I found your blog on your birthday post? I just remember taking dance with you in HS. What a joy that was;). Hope you had a great day!
