Looong Weekend

This weekend we went to Utah and spent time with the Fam! We left Friday after classes and went straight to my little brothers dorm in Provo, he's attending BYU and he loooves it!

Obviously we couldn't stay with my brother so my parents, younger sister, Kennedy and I stayed at my Uncle Dave and Aunt Ninas home, we had so much fun! We played Just Dance 2, uhm so fun! Basically we are meant to be Rock stars. Not even kidding... okay maybe a little. Kennedy and I were also highly entertained by my Aunts youngest, Trevor. He entertained us for a few hours one night through a variety of adventures; outer space, Castle Feenya, Fishing, Tickle fights and pillow fights. On Sunday night Trevor and my Dad "Big Trevor" played hide-and-go-seek and little Trevor had a blast calling someone else Trevor! He was so funny. He kept calling my dad "silly guy" and "big trevor", it was pretty cute. We slacked and didn't get a video of it! The last morning Trevor and Kennedy built the "Trevor Tower" and we took a picture before it was destroyed. 

On Monday we spent some time at BYU's Museum of Art looking at the Carl Block display. It was beautiful and very humbling to see the amazing paintings of Christs life. If you have a chance to go you should take advantage of the amazing experience. My mom bought us a print of our favorite painting so we can hang it in our home! It's called the Garden of Gethsemane, for some reason we both fell in love with it instantly.

After some last minute shopping we went to the Monty L. Bean Museum!

I think Jaguars are VERY cool.

And Kennedy enjoyed the bears! There was one bear that was over 10 ft. tall! I forgot to get a picture of it but it was huge! Well we had a very fun weekend, we didn't take any pictures of use shopping but we did about 12 hours of shopping throughout the weekend! I know! We are crazy! Anyways hope everyone else had a great long weekend!

We Heart Chinese Food

So this is me with some of best friends from BYUI. Once a month we get together for Chinese food at New Fongs! From left to right it's Me, Kendra, Felicia, Brittany, and Michelle. Sadly Michelle is off track this semester so she was not at dinner but Sam was and we love her too but I didn't have a picture with her... which means I better get on that :) Anyways we had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed catching up with each other. Also we all order the same thing EVERY time. Kendra, Felicia, Sam and I always order Mandarin Chicken (which is incredible!) and Brittany always gets Spicy Honey Chicken. Perhaps we are predictable but we are consistently satisfied and that is what eating is all about anyways!

This is what Kennedy looked like when I left haha so I took a picture of his evening :) I did bring him Chinese food home though so don't feel to bad for him!

Idaho played a cruel trick on us this week, it was BEAUTIFUL yesterday and this morning and this evening it tried to snow... we are hoping for another beautiful day tomorrow so cross your fingers for us!

In our dance class we started learning the Waltz which makes me feel like Cinderella, it's so fun :) And we are also learning the Cha Cha which is equally fun! There are a lot of interesting characters in our dance class and we are usually entertained by their antics. Today I had an awkward encounter with a girl today, she told me to "Show my hubby what my hips can do".... who says that? Haha I didn't know what to say to that so I laughed. Also there is a boy who really, and I mean really likes to shake his hips. I wish I had a picture of him because he is just really entertaining.

Another exciting thing of our day... I found out that I do not need Fit For Life to fulfill any of my requirements so I dropped it! It was just not working out between us and it just wasn't meant to be. Anyways, I am relieved to not have that class anymore so now I have more time to dedicate to my other classes. Speaking of other classes, today I had my first client meeting for I-Comm which was cool. 

Kennedy doesn't have anything new to announce but he is great. Just so you know :)

Canada is Foriegn

Well today we got all dressed up again for Devotional. Elder Charles A. Didier an emeritus member of the Seventy. His talk was Learning by Faith to become a Humble Seeker of Happiness. It was an enlightening talk, he was quite humorous too! Tuesdays are our busy day we had hot dogs for dinner which was kind of a treat!

We found out this morning that I got my job back at the Town of Taber for the summer for the Parks & Recreation department so we are happy to know that I will have a great job waiting for me!

Also on a side note I had a great lunch with Brittany and Lexie today!

Kennedy wasn't really ready for that second picture and I didn't know I was taking it but he looks cute, manly cute. So this evening it was our pleasure to get some special visitors! During Glee we heard some serious knocking on the door and our doorbell rang (which I didn't even know we had!). So we answered the door and there were two boys, around 12 years old. They were selling Foreign Stamps and Coins. They had a lovely collection of Canadian Stamps for $10.00 we decided to help them out so we asked them what their "cause" was. VERY enthusiastically they both shouted "PSP2!". Hahaha it was just to funny.

Take note of the frame... it has possibly seen better days haha.

It's A Wonderful Life.

Today we had Stake Conference and we had a new Stake President Called, it was such a good meeting. After Church... you all know tomorrow is Valentines Day! So in preparation we made special sugar cookies this afternoon! Here's some pics of us with our beautiful cookies.

Heres Kennedy and his Cookies!

And My Cute Cookies!

This evening we were lucky enough to get together with some of my keeler cousins that are also at BYU-I right now. Devan Keeler had us all over to his house for a delicious sunday dinner. He made a scrumptious roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade buns, and salads! We had a lot of fun visiting and getting to know each other better. It was a great Sunday, hope you all had a great one too!

We Forgot About Kennedy!

Well today was pretty relaxed for us. I work as a Games Manager for BYUI's Competitive Basketball League. Today I only had to work two games and one of them was Kennedy's! This is me in my cool work outfit.

haha so I'm a nerd... First picture I am being a happy Games Manager, second picture I am wearing my nerdy fanny pack that I never wear, and third I am discipling coaches and players that aren't listening (that rarely happens, they are pretty awesome though).

Well as I said Kennedy played today... he started today at the beginning of both halfs and played great! His team is still undefeated thanks to great coaches and a team that plays very well together. We were going to take a picture of Kennedy in his uniform but we forgot! (Hence the title). But don't worry... we will get a picture!

School is going great for us, mid-terms are starting this week so we might have to spend extra time studying this week! 

We are looking forward to our trip to Utah next weekend with the Johnsons. We are going to spend some time shopping (of course), and we will be visiting some museum. Of course we will get to see family, the Ogles and the Durlands! It will definitely be a good weekend! 

xoxo, k&n

Date Night!

So I don't know if any of you are aware but "Just Go With It" came out to theaters today and I was SO excited! I have been waiting a month for this day so Kennedy took me to the movies to see it. I was so worried it wasn't going to live up to my expectations since I had built it up so much in my head BUT it exceeded all expectations and Kennedy loved it too. 

Before going to the movie we killed time in Kohls. We had never been there before and as we are avid shoppers we felt that was inexcusable. So we checked it out... pretty decent. We wished we weren't poor students and then we would've bought wonderful things but we are going to Utah next weekend so we are saving our shopping money for a bigger market :)

After the movies we went to the Cocoa Bean... Best. Cup. Cakes. Ever. They are yum. We got "Better Than Whatever Cake" and a hazelnut cocoa. It was Kennedys first time there and even though he doesn't like icing he rather enjoyed our Cup Cake with butter cream icing. Also a side note... this picture looks like I just drew a line down the middle of the picture when in fact it is two separate pictures... crazy right? Anyways hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

It's Almost the WEEKEND!

Here's our library... I wish it really looked like that outside!

Hey everyone... well today I accidentally turned of my alarm this morning and slept an extra eight minutes which makes a HUGE difference when you use each and every precious minute in the morning! Luckily Kennedy hates to be late so he rushed me and we made it on time to classes at 7:45.

Today was very productive as we spent the day writing essays, completing projects, and taking a few exams. I spent the day in the library but I did take a break to have lunch with Kendra!

We also made dinner tonight and acted like grown-ups... even though we both wanted ice cream :) We're pigs like that haha.

Anyways it's a pretty low key day so that's all we have to say today :)

xoxo, k&n

We are Dancin' Machines

Today was our Swing Dance exam... um we were amazing. Need I say more? That was our only class today so it was a pretty low key day. Kennedy's day started at 5:30 a.m. with basketball practice and they ran A LOT so he took a nice little nap this afternoon while I did some homework.

We topped off the evening with ice cream and catching up on our favorite t.v. shows: Big Bang Theory, The Office and Greys Anatomy.

Anyways uneventful day = small post :)

We (Heart) BYUI

So this week in our Bookstore it's I Love BYUI Week. They have special deals every day for the week and today it was these T-shirts for $5! I've always wanted one of these shirts but I've never been anywhere that I loved enough to wear the shirt proudly... but now I have! Kennedy also loves BYUI :)

Today's devotional was amazing, Kennedy and I got all spiffied up and looked awesome... if you want to see just how spiffy I got you can check out my style blog . Anyways, Elder Lynn A Micklesen, emeritus seventy, spoke today about Making Righteous Decisions by Following the Spirit through Obedience. I was going to leave a link to it but the BYUI site is down right now. But I have a few of his points... he said that becoming decisive is part of spiritually growing up and that the critical decisions are then that affect our standing before God--they are the non-negotiable commitments. It was so enlightening to hear someone tell us that making decisions on our own for ourselves is healthy for our spiritual growth, of course he said that it was never wrong to counsel with the Lord but that he expects us to come to him with a decision. The Lord doesn't want to make decisions for us.

Exciting News: Kennedy took his math test today and got 95% so we went out to dinner to celebrate his success and we got mozza sticks... our new found LOVE. Applebees sticks amazing!

After dinner we got to see our wonderful friend Felicia, she threw out her back just about two weeks ago so we brought her some cookies and said hello, because we love her. And last but not least we wrapped up the day watching Glee and NCIS Los Angeles while munching on my yummy oatmeal butterscotch chip cookies.

It was a beautiful Tuesday!

Lipstick, Tinfoil & Dance Class.

AH! So it is Monday and it wasn't even a big deal. We made it to our dance class on time despite my hair issues this morning; I wanted to try big, loose curls with my curling iron but it did nothing so I had to get out my straightner to curl my hair. Anyways I curled my hair in record speed (15 min).

A big accomplishment for us today: we bought tin foil. FINALLY. We have been out for almost three weeks and it has been quite the issue but we kept forgetting to buy it! Well, we bought it so no big deal.

Exciting news, I found out I have the long weekend off so Hello Utah :) It better be warm and wonderful because I am ready for something other than Idaho Weather.

Also I joined team lipstick today... kind of scary and new but i think it's going to be okay. Kennedy was a big help at Walmart helping me pick out colors... I'm not even joking.

xoxo, k&n

Green & Yellow

What do you think of this picture? I love it... it might be my new header one of these days. Anyways, today was a great Sunday. We remembered it was Fast Sunday so chalk up a success for the Berezays this month! Of course today was the Superbowl... if you didn't see Kennedy's facebook status you missed out on my goof so let me fill you in...

We get home from church and we are hanging up our coats
K: "Sweet! We're home just in time for the pre-game show."

N: "Oh really? Who's playing in the pre-game?"

K: long pause...
N: Then I thought wait no one would be playing because that doesn't make any sense so I said... "Ooooh ha. ha." embarrassed face.

Anyways I totally pulled a stupid on that one. While Kennedy watched the second half of the game I made Oatmeal Butterscotch Chip Cookies (I thought we had chocolate chips but we didn't)... they turned out pretty good actually. I also played on picnik which is how I edited my picture above! But what turned out even better was the game! We were both cheering for the Packers and we were pumped that they won!

THEN it was time for Glee! We are total Gleeks and if you are missing out then you MUST go watch this number from tonights episode because we loved it... I was in the middle of picniking but I couldn't take my eyes off of the t.v. haha. Anyways that was the gyst of our sunday!

Chinese Sabotage!

So every once in awhile I forget that eating is necessary for me to live... today was one of those days and I basically fell apart around 7:00 today. Luckily Kennedy rescued me by getting take out chinese for me BUT the restaurant tried to sabotage my happiness by giving me the wrong rice! Once again Kennedy came to the rescue and made me the right kind of rice, how lucky am I?

Despite my falling apart the day was still good. Becca (my younger sister) is re-doing her room and was picking out colors today so she asked me for some ideas. I went to Google and searched a bunch of rooms and then I was but by the bug :) Of course I cannot "re-do" my bedroom with paint and I love my bedding so... I have never been a big fan of my headboard (sorry M&D) so I decided why not recover it with fabric? So Kennedy and I made a wonderful (as always) trip to Porters... we mapped out a plan and we are still deciding if we really want to carry it out right now. Either way it will happen one of these days and I promise you it will be spectacular!

Kennedy played his second league game today and his team went into over-time but they won the game by 6. So far they are undefeated! Also I feel like Kennedy spent a good time watching Sports Center today so he has had a great day!

Colorful Stock-ings.

Well today was another freezing cold day here in Rexburg Idaho... I was in a skirt but I had on nylons... needless to say it was a great outfit. I was exposed to these amazing fashion blogs today and at 2:00 I came across this fabulous outfit with green tights and for the rest of the day I could ONLY think of colored tights. Because Kennedy is so wonderful he encouraged me to go to Idaho Falls and indulge my craving :) I am now the proud owner of Royal Blue, Fuschia, Ruby Red and Cream tights... also a really great skirt.

Kennedy decided to play the stock market today. He invested a mere $1,000,000.00. Ya know, pocket change for us Berezays. He invested in Apple, Verizon, GAP (which we love), Pepsi, Budweiser, Sirius Satellite Radio and CBS. Tomorrow morning when the stock market opens we will be billionaires and I will have all the tights in the world :)

Rexburg Residents

Welcome to 2011! One of my new years resolutions is to get back into blogging... Why is it so hard? To catch up... New Years eve we moved into Rexburg. Yes we started the year with a bang. Kennedys parents helped us with the move and we totally appreciated it! We love our new apartment, it's very cute. School is great, we both are keeping busy with homework and basketball. Kennedy is playing in the schools competitive basketball league. Thus far his team is undefeated so "Go Hurricanes!" I am working for the league again as a Games Management... good thing we love basketball. Well thats all for now!
