Brittany: "Seattle Times"

"Seattle Times"

I just got home from Seattle last night. My friend Chelsea and I went for a few days and then I spent almost a week with Aimee, Sean and Cole. With as many times as I've been to Seattle, I never get tired of being there. It was a lot of fun!

This was the first time that I took a cruise around the Puget Sound. It was an hour long tour cruise that explained all of the Piers and a lot of other interesting things about boats, etc. It was a gorgeous day in Seattle.

Another first for me was the Underground Tour. For anyone who hasn't done it, I highly recommend it. It was very informative and really enjoyable. I think it was my favorite part of the week until Saturday...

when I saw WICKED! I started listening to the soundtrack my last year of college and have been waiting to see it for about 6 years. All I can say is that I LOVED it!!! It was amazing. I was not disappointed. What made it even better was that I got to see it with my mom, Aimee and Diana. It was great to spend the day with my mom and sisters. I don't remember the last time we did that!

Sadly, I don't have any pictures to document my time with Aimee and family. Cole got sick Thursday night and was still sick when I left yesterday. He is as darling as ever, even though he was sick. Poor baby! Feel better soon Cole!

Inspiring Quotes

"We cannot help others feel God's love when we are: irritated, critical, discouraged, annoyed, self-absorbed, angry, indignant, or filled with self-pity, hostility, or bitterness."
"Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." Mother Teresa

"We need to meditate more. We're so busy doing little things. We need to meditate more." President McKay
"The life which is unexamined is not worth living." Plato
"In contrast to the institutions of the world, which teach us to know something, the gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become something. . . . The gospel of Jesus Christ is the plan by which we can become what children of God are supposed to become. . . . Charity is something one becomes." Elder Oaks
"If I could have one thing happen for every woman . . . it would be that they would feel the love of the Lord in their lives daily." Bonnie Parkin
