I think it is a combination of blogs going out of style, Dani have less than zero time to write, and me not really liking to write as if I am talking to you when I am really not. Who knows who actually reads this so I feel like I'm talking to myself. But here are some pictures from our latest adventures...<br />
<br />
So a couple months ago, we were watching the Australian Open tennis tournament and we got the crazy idea to try to go to a tennis tournament. So lo and behold, the BNP Paribas Open was naturally the place to go. It is the 5th largest tournament out there and was this past weekend in Palm Springs/Indian Wells California. So we drove down on Friday, watched the semifinals on Saturday, and drove back on Sunday. We got to see Federer v. Doglopolov, Isner v. Djokovic, and the Bryan brothers win the doubles championship.<br />

MORE IMPORTANTLY- As you can see by the blog title, today marks the official start of March Madness. Please do not contact me with anything other than basketball related news/questions/comments from every Thursday-Sunday for the next 4 weeks. Thanks. Make sure you fill out your brackets.Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01600446924845765957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977811184279670747.post-54222479172167732132014-01-13T08:52:00.001-08:002014-01-13T08:52:32.984-08:00New Year’s Resolutions<p>Well, here I am. In January. I feel like one of THOSE people that is back a the gym in a brand new matching outfit that has never been worn before. In January. But, thankfully for my own sanity, I am not one of those people. Either in the gym or on the blog. Because believe it or not, blogging did NOT make my goal list for 2014. Didn’t even cross my mind actually. So it is kind of ironic that I’m even writing any of this. </p> <p>Anyway, I do love setting goals. Mostly because I love accomplishing goals. And again for my own sanity I have always called them goals, not resolutions. I feel like this is one of the best things that was ingrained in me from my volleyball career. And it is true what they say: you NEED to be specific, and you NEED absolutely NEED to write them down. I love it. </p> <p>That being said, Brad is also great at setting & accomplishing goals. So when we have these conversations we feed off each other. So this is not our complete list, but a few of the things we did accomplish in 2013 include: </p> <p>Couple</p> <ul> <li><strong>Temple once per month – We only missed July when Brad was in Seattle. </strong></li> <li><strong>Date night every week – Let’s be honest, we don’t have kids yet so EVERY night is date night. Check this one off.</strong> </li></ul> <p>Brad</p> <ul> <li><strong>350 hours studying for the MCAT – He far surpassed this one. </strong></li> <li><strong>A in Organic Chemistry – Check! </strong></li> <li><strong>Find & Apply to 25 best Med Schools – Check, now just waiting…</strong></li></ul> <p>Dani </p> <ul> <li><strong>Run in an official Half Marathon Race – Check! </strong></li> <li><strong>Host a dinner Party one a month – Didn’t keep exact track of this, but however many it was I want to do more :) </strong></li> <li><strong>Get my Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification – Check!</strong> </li></ul> <p>I don’t list these out to brag, I only document them because it is good to celebrate our accomplishments! There are a handful of things we didn’t quite complete, but they have rolled over into the 2014 list. It is good to set aggressive goals :) Here’s a few of our new goals we are striving for in 2014… It’s a big year for us! </p> <p>Couple </p> <ul> <li>Buy a House!</li></ul> <p>Brad</p> <ul> <li>Get into Med School </li> <li>Ride a century in under 6 hours </li> <li>Magnify calling in Young Men’s</li></ul> <p>Dani</p> <ul> <li>Journal once/week – electronic? – I used to be VERY good at this, it has slipped the last 2 years. I want to get back to it. </li> <li>100% Visiting Teaching – Hey, I’m trying here people</li> <li>Learn to play (at least) 8 songs flawlessly on the piano </li> <li>CROSSFIT queen – lots of specifics on this one :) </li></ul> <p>Lots of goals which means lots of things to work towards and lots of things to look forward to. It feels so good! 2014 is HUGE for us, so might as well be improving ourselves at the same time. Here’s to 2014! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time… </p> <p>And just for fun here is some proof Brad is already working hard toward one of his goals: </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-MYsdG8UQD6A/UtQZza9RyTI/AAAAAAAAB8o/oHe072DsRbA/s1600-h/Brad%252520Ice%252520Skating%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img title="Brad Ice Skating" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="Brad Ice Skating" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-150LMNWtSBE/UtQZzxe1G8I/AAAAAAAAB8s/Z3C6XTORcdk/Brad%252520Ice%252520Skating_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a></p> Danielle Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16083884904426921739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977811184279670747.post-54924108149626422442013-09-30T10:32:00.001-07:002013-09-30T11:02:34.082-07:00Long Time, No BlogHello People. It's been a while. I blame that on a) an amazing summer's worth of adventures b) butt-killing bike rides and boating c) crazily hikes and Cabo d) delicious dinners and discovering new restaurants e) estupído (portuguese for stupid) studies and silly sight-seeing f) fast-approaching fall and farmers markets g) grand golf outings and our garden h) horrendously old carpet, a half-marathon (for one of us) and hide-n-seek and n) nephews. As I am not one for many words and I know all of you faithful blog followers are dying to hear about our lives, here are some pictures of what we have been doing.<br />

But isn’t that a funny thought? Don’t the days seem endlessly long? Or is that just my to-do list? </p> <p>So much has happened in our lives since the last post. New jobs, new semesters, new books to study, new ages for both of us (24 & 26), new checks on our life bucket lists, new found love for weekends, new goals and ambitions. The MCAT is behind, Med School applications are ahead. It is amazing what you can accomplish when you are too busy for everything. </p> <p>All happening while time is literally just flying by. </p> <p>We are in the thick of summer which is <strong><u>BY FAR</u></strong> the best time of year. My garden is booming, my bike is well used, my tan lines are crazy and everything seems to be slightly sun-kissed. I’m in heaven. Our dinners keep getting later and later because of all the plans we have to be outside and enjoy this glorious weather. I’m determined to master new things including, but not limited to, golf, tennis and Dutch ovens. Nothing is better than the sun being out and the world is your oyster. Or something like that. </p> <p>We take the saying very seriously of: <strong>work hard, play hard.</strong> Brad’s 500+ hours of studying for the MCAT? Naturally that is followed up by a few appearances of tee times 5 days/week. My new job has demanded pretty much all I have to give for the last few months, so again a week is Cabo is the only logical move :) Brad and I have been swinging for the fence on pretty much all aspects of life lately. I’m so proud of the hard work we’ve put in and the fruit that we have begun to see and will continue to see over time. We are putting in the time and enormous effort to set ourselves up for a bright future. My dad always taught me to be mindful. He taught me to not to be impulsive, but to save up for the really good things in life because those are the things that will last and will make you more happy. I couldn’t agree more, Dad. </p> <p>So in the midst of all the chaos, I couldn’t be happier. I am going through each of these new days with my very best friend and the love of my life. We are knocking things out of the park and becoming better people every step of the way. The future is bright and so is the sun outside. Let’s enjoy it. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-goByueFQ5hU/UcNV9OnR28I/AAAAAAAAB6E/TOBnIJBmeJ4/s1600-h/cabo%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="cabo" border="0" alt="cabo" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dFanr6ixOTM/UcNV9kbF_cI/AAAAAAAAB6M/N7a8Dws5QSc/cabo_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="580" height="436"></a></p> Danielle Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16083884904426921739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977811184279670747.post-41297585788572675722013-03-07T23:36:00.000-08:002013-03-07T23:36:17.061-08:00Life Through My Eyes...Well hello blogging world, it is the husband, Brad, once again. After a long hiatus from my ever-faithful blog followers, I have decided once again to come out of blog-hibernation and type a few words. Admittedly, however, I am only typing because I have been sitting in this chair at my desk far too long the past few days and need something else to do than review Acid/Base chemistry and other science-themed topics in preparation for the test of all tests, the test that will determine our future as a family, the dreaded MCAT. More on that later....<br />
<br />
So here are some picts I have taken and how I see life:<br />

Dani is going to kill me for posting these pictures but I can't help it. She is so darn cute.<br />

Ah yes, the MCAT. I think as of today, we are t-minus 83 days until Test Day. I modified a gift from my sister to countdown the days (instead of count up the days our doorways have been bonked free). It cannot get here fast enough and it cannot get here slow enough. In just over two (2) months, I have logged just south of two hundred (200) hours for this bloody test. Its a good thing I don't have Organic Chemistry, Physics, basketball (well, I did), husband duties, etc etc...</div>

I’m 100% sure I get this from my dad. We had a blast, and as a bonus our kitchen looks WAY better. So! Let’s get to the good stuff. </p> <p>My ideas: <br>1. Sliding pantry – more on this below. </p> <p>2. Tile Backsplash – my dad is a master. </p> <p>3. Update our cabinets. Let’s just say they all had the finish of a wooden spoon – which is literally my worst nightmare. </p> <p>4. Create more storage in our small space. </p> <p><strong>Let’s Get to work!</strong> PS don’t ask why we chose to cut tile and use the table saw in the very coldest part of the year. Not a great idea. </p> <p>First item of business- let’s paint. Here’s some action pics Brad took haha. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-QlcpNqFnn3E/UQ9E-IeF_FI/AAAAAAAABxU/rn-71DYNZ8Q/s1600-h/P1070536%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070536" border="0" alt="P1070536" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-fs-NUm7F3oE/UQ9E_i7WJfI/AAAAAAAABxc/5lzjeajq0qI/P1070536_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="200" height="267"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-LqtqjvuRqdo/UQ9FAffVfzI/AAAAAAAABxk/5lJcPGHQGto/s1600-h/P1070537%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070537" border="0" alt="P1070537" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Tbhs4WlPrqg/UQ9FAwB_LMI/AAAAAAAABxs/f4n7XDfc1Eg/P1070537_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="360" height="270"></a></p> <p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pxTZJsAA3hg/UQ9FByVkPuI/AAAAAAAABx0/IEvK977q1zI/s1600-h/P1070538%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070538" border="0" alt="P1070538" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-31_xnTveVBE/UQ9FCdHw7lI/AAAAAAAABx8/i5lVtu8_AAg/P1070538_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="210"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ZLU_NF2U29o/UQ9FDTFoQCI/AAAAAAAAByE/M46vrrB0MM4/s1600-h/P1070539%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070539" border="0" alt="P1070539" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-u_OeNHQQnv0/UQ9FD5PjuaI/AAAAAAAAByM/5AF8KfTnSh4/P1070539_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="210"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-JMp0E_qv81s/UQ9FEpeym1I/AAAAAAAAByU/tmNTQMF4c1M/s1600-h/P1070540%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070540" border="0" alt="P1070540" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ROxidwjV0gk/UQ9FGAhhP6I/AAAAAAAAByc/UBHDaAGvmH8/P1070540_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="549" height="412"></a></p> <p>And my personal favorite of the painting/foot-rub combo. Workin’ hard! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eYJqGKMAYCA/UQ9FHR834bI/AAAAAAAAByk/HApRebkNckQ/s1600-h/P1070541%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070541" border="0" alt="P1070541" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--FQvtsGGWRE/UQ9FH8imynI/AAAAAAAABys/qIq9LcsdmXY/P1070541_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="549" height="412"></a> </p> <p>Old Yeller!! It had to go… It was literally taking 60+ minutes to pre-heat. A chef in training cannot work in those conditions!! </p> <p>Once we got all the painting done – we started building the shelf! The idea was – utilize the 6” of space we have and turn it into storage! So we built a sliding pantry! Genius I tell you. And we now need to patent it. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-kyvD0zU08jI/UQ9FIu-XoNI/AAAAAAAABy0/FeZGYAEQXIY/s1600-h/P1070552%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070552" border="0" alt="P1070552" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-TuHHHBLzXP0/UQ9FJoz4tBI/AAAAAAAABy8/vH_ejmM7NOM/P1070552_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="549" height="412"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4xwdzQeAAJw/UQ9FKB4qvkI/AAAAAAAABzE/8c_aGFsMER0/s1600-h/P1070558%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070558" border="0" alt="P1070558" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LNZymI1OoEw/UQ9FLRGLT-I/AAAAAAAABzM/C6KAoU5KiJo/P1070558_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="373"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-l8RX6bbgQmU/UQ9FL-6UMII/AAAAAAAABzU/C_U3PL16YTU/s1600-h/P1070560%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070560" border="0" alt="P1070560" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dMFHhPPgZUE/UQ9FMTf5VWI/AAAAAAAABzc/TvA7gHWINsU/P1070560_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="373"></a> </p> <p>Backsplash </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-RCtODobAzNg/UQ9FNSqtPMI/AAAAAAAABzk/c6T13KFJ4ZA/s1600-h/P1070564%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070564" border="0" alt="P1070564" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eKSjpyBiWdg/UQ9FO-OFrpI/AAAAAAAABzs/Fh99AqZiPKo/P1070564_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="210"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-FIGnkt77HwU/UQ9FPQToUKI/AAAAAAAABz0/lnxZy-q9rUg/s1600-h/P1070569%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070569" border="0" alt="P1070569" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xCSlpAP66WU/UQ9FQrrMe2I/AAAAAAAABz8/40nM9JOjwms/P1070569_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="210"></a> </p> <p>So let’s look at the after pics! </p> <p>BEFORE </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-9b6oVbnSFOw/UQ9FRK5w-DI/AAAAAAAAB0E/paPAv_uXDrQ/s1600-h/P1070530%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070530" border="0" alt="P1070530" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-f2IencZBoqA/UQ9FUN9pYHI/AAAAAAAAB0M/3p9XryHV_t4/P1070530_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="534"></a> </p> <p>AFTER</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-lM_JY_vcadE/UQ9FUsxaHjI/AAAAAAAAB0U/9rBrHb5Kzl8/s1600-h/P1070565%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070565" border="0" alt="P1070565" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nmBH8tzAaW4/UQ9FVHv8vWI/AAAAAAAAB0c/MNKXOYvTLBU/P1070565_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="533"></a></p> <p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-nvcf1X0hW8g/UQ9FVtWhVSI/AAAAAAAAB0k/FXdJoNjkvdA/s1600-h/P1070566%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1070566" border="0" alt="P1070566" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ZPmBhzyK2Fw/UQ9FWRjq7iI/AAAAAAAAB0s/EGh_VH-6TMs/P1070566_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="533"></a></p> <p>This is the coolest pantry ever!

Because I’m trying to get them out of my brain! <br />
<br />
1. I have survived my first experience with layoffs. Yikes. Got the good word this morning that the process is complete, phew. There was some bad juju around here the last few days. It has made everyone on edge and incredibly anxious. It seems strange that the Church would be laying people off, but it is a tough world out there and unfortunately, it is still a business and the Church is not immune to that. My department got hit with a 7% “reduction in force” aka RIF which is about 80 people. It has made me even more grateful for my job and the wonderful living situation we are in. I’m grateful to still have a job I love. <br />
<br />
2. I cannot get the Les Mis soundtrack out of my brain. Seriously. Neither can Brad, haha. That crazy snow day while we were shoveling he just kept singing “I’ll escape now from that world, from a world of Jean Valjean. There is no where I can turn, there is no way to go ONNNNNNNNN!!!!” Ok yes, I have listened to the soundtrack like every day since we saw the movie, but I can’t get enough! My favorite song changes daily, but overall I love Empty chairs at empty tables. But today my favorite is “Is Marius in love at last? I’ve never heard him Ooooo and Ahhhhh” I’m a little obsessed here people. “It is time for us all to decide who we arrrreee” I love it! <br />
<br />
3. My Kitchen. This is a whole other post, but I’m SO pumped. Little changes go a long way in our little basement apartment. My dad’s a master when it comes to home renovations, and I love doing these projects with him! I’ll put up some pictures when they become AFTER pictures. But here is my favorite picture, haha. Brad was giving me a foot rub while I painted :) <br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3s6kCJyEzIo/UQHGW6ZNC3I/AAAAAAAABvs/79hRR4J7Oi0/s1600-h/P1070540%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="P1070540" border="0" height="442" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-2G0NiZr0xTM/UQHGXEW9foI/AAAAAAAABvw/7gthdRVQiPk/P1070540_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline;" title="P1070540" width="590" /></a> <br />
<br />
4. COLD. My body doesn’t let me forget the temperature outside for one moment. Continuous goosebumps. Ice storm in SLC this morning? Really? 128 traffic accidents this morning just in the Salt Lake Valley. YIKES. Check it out <a href="http://www.ksl.com/?sid=23839268&nid=148&title=unusual-freezing-rain-causes-dangerous-commute&s_cid=featured-2">HERE</a>. It is going to be a balmy 30 degrees this weekend, breakout the swim suits! I miss Hawaii. <br />
<br />
5. Ice Cream. It is freezing outside I know, but I still love it. And I want some right now. <br />
<br />
6. And last but not least, just because of the title of this post – it reminds me of this AWESOME video from a while ago. A hip-hop dancer and a ballet dancer. So You Think You Can Dance. Even if you don’t like either of these styles of dance, this video is still pretty sweet. I live vicariously through people who can dance. Check it out! <br />

I’d also tell you that I’ve already got a budget and project plan laid out for those because I’m a project manager and a little crazy, this is what I do! I love it! If we aren’t going to buy a house right now, we may as well spruce up the basement a little bit! I get the fun of the little house projects without having to pay for a house right now. I mean it’s a win-win! </p> <p>I’d also tell you that I’ve been watching too much Property Brothers lately. :) </p> <p>I’d tell you about my dedicated husband and the 8 MCAT study review books he just received. </p> <p>I’d tell you about the <a href="http://www.annies-eats.com/2012/03/07/thai-chicken-pizza/">Thai Chicken Pizza</a> that I plan to make very soon. Or anything with big shavings of parmesan on it. </p> <p>I’d tell you how I miss running outside in non-arctic conditions. And how I thrive on sunshine. </p> <p>I’d tell you that Brad & I have a dinner date with an NBA player tonight.</p> <p>And I’d tell you that I’m grateful for great friends. Because I have a lot of great people in my life who make it so enjoyable. And I’d tell you that next time we should really do this in person. I’ll cook :) </p> Danielle Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16083884904426921739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977811184279670747.post-64213333116561739892013-01-02T15:31:00.001-08:002013-01-04T08:38:39.739-08:00In My Kitchen – My Cookbook!<p>What is that you say – a book?? </p> <p>Yes, in fact I did write one! Not a novel, but a cookbook! I actually did it! </p> <p>This has been a little dream in my mind for a while. I’m the worst at writing down my recipes and I thought it would be fun to put them all together! It was a lot of work, but boy was it worth it. The hardest part was keeping it a secret! I gave it to my family for Christmas and they loved it! <br>There are all my family favorites in here. And if you are thinking of THE ONE – yes that is in there too :) So take a look, and hey if you are feeling crazy buy one! It is available for sale on Lulu.com and will soon be on Amazon (how cool?). And just so we are on the same page they told me a minimum of what I could list my book at, so I didn’t really just choose that price out of no where! </p> <p>I tried to turn it into an e-book, but it seems that changes all my formatting from my printed book.

Running and me have never really been that great of friends. Running is a way for me to eat more dessert – you know what I’m saying? It has been apart of my routine for quite a while now, but that doesn’t mean I like it. Well this particular day Brad was out of town on a road trip (boo) so I didn’t have a lot going on that day when I got home. As I was running, I hit my “long-one” mark of 6 miles, but I still felt pretty good. I decided to go a little longer… The longest I had ever run to this point was 8 miles. That is pretty good if you ask me! So once I was getting closer to 8, I still was feeling ok and started thinking… hmm I’ve never even thought of 10 before! </p> <p>I totally surprised myself that day. 10 miles is a long way!! I felt really good about it and realized I should probably enjoy it because it probably wasn’t going happen again anytime soon! Haha. So then… 3 weeks later, there I was again Brad was gone and I was out on a run. 11 miles later I was thinking you know this running thing isn’t quite as terrible as I thought it was! 11 miles… a half marathon is only 2 more miles! Could I seriously be considering this?? </p> <p>5 days later on November 23 I did it! I ran 13.2 miles!!!!! What in the world??? I wasn’t even planning on a long run that day, but again- I was feeling good so I just kept running! I am so proud of myself and because of it I get to brag on here for just a minute! This is a goal I never thought I would be pursuing or let alone achieve. Running was a punishment in volleyball practice, so it just never seemed to strike my fancy, but I have apparently overcome that mental game for a little bit and accomplished this awesome feat! 13.2 miles – whew! I’m awesome! haha. And I know I’m not record-setting or anything, but I feel good about my time too! My body felt good too, surprisingly. </p> <p>Oh and the best part of the whole thing maybe the picture below. Leave it to me to get tan lines on the 1 inch of my body that wasn’t covered at the end of November! What the??</p> <p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-smes734fRCQ/ULbPHTmdsoI/AAAAAAAABfg/W97i2al8pbo/s1600-h/image_11.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image_1" border="0" alt="image_1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-BsFGu158Y4E/ULbPIuHeUqI/AAAAAAAABfo/znQ31iXodmk/image_1_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="550" height="736"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-R86i0F5qUM0/ULbPJeef2qI/AAAAAAAABfw/1eg2QeH-5_0/s1600-h/image_2.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image_2" border="0" alt="image_2" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-HJi6N9dw5Cc/ULbPKCHd3LI/AAAAAAAABf4/gHvD6ZQpVME/image_2_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="550" height="411"></a></p> <p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UkLmrcQCbzQ/ULbPLN3iuEI/AAAAAAAABgA/jHCW3y1fkAQ/s1600-h/photo%25255B1%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo" border="0" alt="photo" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bXOv4S9ape4/ULbPNVdm79I/AAAAAAAABgI/PQyRf30DqtI/photo_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="550" height="824"></a></p> Danielle Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16083884904426921739noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977811184279670747.post-6664203967910128142012-10-31T08:18:00.001-07:002012-10-31T08:18:42.561-07:00Dating My Husband.<p>Today I need to share a blog that I absolutely adore. The writer is eloquent, talented and intriguing. I keep coming back to this one though… And I re-read it again this morning. It is resonating with me today. Although we don’t have kids yet, our lives are busy. Very busy in fact. We get caught up in the craziness and I need to take a step back and breathe. Romance – it comes in all different forms, but basically it comes down to making the other person happy. And we absolutely can find time every single day to do that. Dating my husband. Especially for us now with Basketball season in full swing… I love that this writer puts as much time and effort into making dinner as I do. Only a true foodie understands that this is how we show love. The thought and care we put into creating a meal that will be gone in the blink of an eye. Why not just buy buns? Why go through the trouble to make homemade chicken stock? Because it is the time and effort I put into planning and preparing that shows love, the end result is just a bonus. I’m happy to find a kindred spirit through this blog. Here’s the link or I have pasted it (Her site is better). </p> <p><a href="http://notwithoutsalt.com/2012/01/29/dating-my-husband-4/">http://notwithoutsalt.com/2012/01/29/dating-my-husband-4/</a></p> <p><em>If I could to speak to myself on the day of my wedding over eight years ago, this is what I would say…</em></p> <p>I understand you’re a bit scared. You’re young and you are about to make a decision that will affect the rest of your life. You think it’s the right choice, you think you love him but what really is love? I know that’s what you are thinking because I am you. <p>For months leading up to the wedding day you’ve been asking everyone who would listen to help you understand what love really is. Sure he gives you butterflies and you can’t imagine not spending every day with this man. You’ve lost countless hours of sleep just clinging to his presence and not wanting to waste a moment with him. But is that really love? Is that enough to sustain a marriage that will survive moves across state lines, financial stress, young children, loss, and much more that we have yet to experience? <p>In case you do read this you should know that you made the right decision. But you didn’t really know love. The love you felt on the day you stared at him down the aisle, anxiously awaiting that glimmer in his eyes as he saw you for the first time in your wedding dress and the last time you weren’t his wife, that love was just the start. <p>At the time you thought love was how he made you feel. You questioned love the moment the butterflies didn’t flutter as rapidly as you thought they should. You resented him for shining light on parts of you that were selfish and gross. He didn’t complete you in the way you expected him to and surprisingly he didn’t completely understand you from the moment you both said, “I do.” <p>Love isn’t simply about how he makes you feel. I know that now. Love is a choice and love is action. <p>Now you realize that love is him warming up the espresso machine for you in the morning so it’s ready when you wander sleepily down the stairs. Love is how he saves the last scoop of ice cream for you, every time. Love is the way he wrestles with your sons (you have two and I can’t wait for you to meet them) after a long day of work. Love is the way he dances with your daughter (she’ll make you melt with each glance into her big brown eyes). <p>You slowly start to understand that when your dad told you, “Love is a choice”, he wasn’t being as unromantic as you first thought. You’ll realize that each day you have a choice. You can either choose to love Gabe and allow your feelings and actions reflect that or you can choose to allow the daily difficulties and his imperfections (yes, I know you can’t see it now, but he’s not perfect – and neither are you) to become a disease in the marriage. <p>Some days are better than others but over time you’ll realize that praying for and encouraging him is more useful than resenting him. You’ll start to see all the things he does for you and your family rather than focusing on what he doesn’t do. And you’ll realize that on the day you married him you really had no idea what love was and that eight years later you love him in way that you never thought possible. <p>It’s going to be hard. You’ll find out things about yourself that you really wish could have stayed hidden and yet, through it all you slowly become a better person. One that really knows and understands love – at least I hope that’s what happens, I’m not quite there yet. <p>What I do know is that no matter how tired you are, no matter how much you would just rather curl up on the couch and tune out the noise of the day, every once in awhile you need to put the kids to bed a bit earlier and ask your husband out on a date, even if that date happens at home. <p>You’ll plan the meal with great excitement and get inspired staring at the vibrant produce at the store while Ivy (that’s your daughter) tries her best to pull everything off the shelves and into the cart. You’ll spend the next 7 hours, on and off, preparing for a meal that you and your husband will devour in 10 minutes. He’ll appreciate every minute of your effort and you’ll love every chop of an onion and knead of the dough. You remind yourself of this moment and how many times before you’ve learned the same lesson – choosing him over your own selfish desires is what love is all about.

Keep in mind I work at the Church and there are about 1200 employees- so there were A LOT of kids haha. </p> <p>They were giving out prizes at work for the best decorations and costume and all that. However, I sorta didn’t participate. I just can’t be THAT girl at the office. Call me lame, but I have my reasons. Anyway, I was enjoying seeing everyone else’s decorations! Some people went ALL out. Dry ice included. </p> <p>While walking down the hall I ran into another girl (there are only 4) in our portfolio who was dressed to the nines as a witch. Boots, hat, face-painted, the whole she-bang. She brought costumes for all her team and decorated up the wazoo. </p> <p>“You look great!! I love your costume!” I said to her as she is fixing her extra-long witch eyelashes. </p> <p>“Thanks!” She said. “Now, let me guess------“ Then she points to me… “Katniss!!” </p> <p>HAHAHAHA</p> <p>“Umm… Actually I didn’t dress up today… (this is awkward)” hahahaha I was dying, “But maybe I will go braid my hair real quick and grab my bow and arrow!” </p> <p>Hahaha Umm actually…..</p> <p>OH my gosh. Seriously was SO funny. She is the nicest girl ever so I think she felt more awkward than I did, but it was just down right hilarious. </p> <p>I had to tell my parents about it, so when I went over there I had them take a picture of my outfit that day… I mean I have to give it to her – she has a point! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-kPxCzmdiyi0/UI6tFsQvpCI/AAAAAAAABes/iD0mwTfpRMk/s1600-h/katniss%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="katniss" border="0" alt="katniss" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Cq2mJBz5L4Y/UI6tGOhCaGI/AAAAAAAABe0/7AiBz6hn3oU/katniss_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="602"></a> </p> <p><strong>Let me guess – Katniss!!</strong> </p> <p>So dang funny. </p> Danielle Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16083884904426921739noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977811184279670747.post-1735576242513282772012-10-17T11:07:00.001-07:002012-10-17T15:05:18.685-07:00Everything Pumpkin.<a href="http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/pumpkin-2012-10/">Pumpkin is the new bacon.</a> Apparently.<br><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Wwgm9zFq6gI/UH7zyUK78zI/AAAAAAAABas/kumNKN5i3M0/s1600-h/pumpkinbacon3.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="pumpkin bacon" border="0" alt="pumpkin bacon" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jz0lLGkI_fU/UH7zy9yelCI/AAAAAAAABa0/xYHlIhJyaPc/pumpkinbacon_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="320" height="233"></a><br>Thank heavens because I do not like the other! A fun little article for your culinary-reading pleasure. Here are a few fun tid-bits: <br>“This year is on track to be one of the most active years for seasonal pumpkin menuing” and could top the 2011 record, when more than 60 pumpkin-related dishes appeared on the menus of America’s top 250 chain restaurants.”<br>“The weird thing about pumpkin’s rise to baconlike ubiquity is that pumpkin, on its own, is not a very appetizing food at all. A dense and stringy fruit, it needs the accompaniment of a lot of sugar and spices before it becomes particularly palatable. As a marketing tool, however, pumpkin is perfectly pitched for today’s eaters. The fact that it needs that extra flavoring? That’s a bonus, not a bug, as far as the restaurant business is concerned.”<br>Well I’m happy to admit we’ve been adding to this pumpkin craze. Who doesn’t love pumpkin-y things?? I mean really. <br>1. Eating Pumpkin Pie – it’s just so dang good!

One of my heros, one of the untouchables has been really brought down lately. As of this morning he has stepped down as chairman from the LiveStrong foundation so the company doesn’t suffer from the negative allegations against him. AND Nike has terminated their contract with him. This is devastating news. He is still one of the Greats in my mind and that will never change. Lance’s efforts are being tainted by these accusations. His company is doing amazing things and he as a person is incredibly inspiring. I hope that he will be able to keep his dignity and the cycling world will retain his legacy. <br>So in light of that- I’ll take one of everything in that Nike black and yellow before it is all gone!! <p>AND PS my little brother is awesome.

Next up- Day trip to <b>Pickleville Playhouse</b> in Bear Lake! So dang funny. Spence was deathly afraid he was going to be forced to eat pickles the whole time, but luckily for him he just got to laugh his head off instead. If you are in range of Bear Lake and can swing it- GO SEE THIS PLAY. It is absolutely hilarious. Juanito Bandito. This has become a Schaap Family tradition. It’s over this year, but they come to SLC at the beginning of the year. I promise you will not be disappointed!! Oh and if possible, go with my dad because his laugh is hilarious and contagious!<br />
<br />
Bear Lake! It is about an hour north from Logan, and totally worth it. <br />

I wish we all saw each other more, but it makes us cherish the times we have together! Thank heavens for FaceTime :)<br />
<br />
It was a busy/relaxing week and we loved every minute of it. Holding true to tradition 2 of us got sick. Me for about 18 hours, and Dan’s lungs sounded pretty bad. Mine was rough, but it didn’t last long (thank you pepto-gatorade combo). Charley, Mel, Jesse, Brad and I got a lot of runs in on the boat considering we were missing so many people! Shaina was home using all her energy to grow a baby, Em wasn’t feeling like getting on a boat because she is pregnant as well, and Kyle is in Uruguay! We threw the football, Brad didn’t catch it so we swung back around and picked up the football while Brad was still on the wakeboard – 4 times! He was pretty tired after that run :) Danielle Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16083884904426921739noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977811184279670747.post-55715814125783236122012-08-20T10:58:00.001-07:002012-08-20T11:00:16.625-07:00A Few Quotes for Today<p>“Cooking is not a particularly difficult art, and the more you cook and learn about cooking, the more sense it makes. But like any art it requires practice and experience. The most important ingredient you can bring to it is love of cooking for its own sake.”<br>-Julia Child, <em>Mastering the Art of French Cooking</em></p> <p>“Today is your day. Your mountain is waiting. So, get on your way.” <br>-Dr. Seuss</p> <p>“The most important work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own home.” <br>-Harold B.

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I've come to a
rather interesting conclusion in the last little while. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I'm hobby-less. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Sounds odd, I know.
And it's not completely true, but it sure feels that way lately. I am the kind
of girl that likes to overbook herself :) Just ask my family. I like to be busy
because honestly I think I am more efficient that way. I always have multiple
things in the works. I like to read books in 3's, one for fun that I can take
everywhere via Kindle/iBooks, one audiobook on the way to work/school, and
usually one for school/educational. I like to have plans but am usually busy
right up until then. This is just how I function I guess. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
But I think I'm
beginning to realize that Brad is about to be really busy really soon and I am
really not going to school again this year. For real. Which is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fabulous!!</span> However, it also alters my
lifestyle quite a bit… This may sound weird, but I don't really know how to
have free time. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
One of my favorite
quotes ever is: "You Love that to which you give Time." </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Such a powerful
statement. Ok so what do I give time? Work (necessary), Brad (Absolutely),
working out (always have), Cooking (this is beyond a hobby-it might be an
obsession), hanging out with my family, and……….. Umm…….. That's it! Those are
the things in my life which I make time for every single day. Beyond that- I
have no hobbies! I even looked it up to find out what wiki-pedia could offer
me. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
My two real hobbies
seem to be dependent on each other. I love to cook (and eat), so therefore I
must work out. I love to work out therefore I can cook a lot of yummy things.
But when my better half is on basketball road trips- there isn't a whole lot of
motivation to cook a fabulous meal for 1. I am ok with the fact that I don't
have to like something just because everyone else seems to. I'm just not sure
what my hobbies are. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
This is a new
chapter in my life. The free feeling of summer is wonderful because it can be
filled with BBQ's, hikes, bike rides, farmer's markets, pool-time, campfires,
peach recipes, early morning runs, trips and watching the Olympics and Burn
Notice with Brad. I'm just used to that free feeling being replaced with the
feeling of putting my nose to the grind and get things done for the rest of the
year. Now, I will still be doing that at work, but for some reason it just
doesn't feel the same. I don't get to start new curriculum every 4 months. And
when I go home from work- I don't have homework (usually). This is what I've
been looking forward to!! But I'm just now realizing that Organic Chemistry is
about to claim my biggest hobby, my husband. I am prepared to be fully
supportive of this, I just haven't quite figured out what I will be doing in
the meantime. I mean you can only cook so much! </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
So this is not meant
to be a sob story, it is more a moment for <span style="font-weight: bold;">discovery!</span>
I like to make things in the kitchen, maybe this means I would like to make
things outside the kitchen as well. Not quite sure what those things are yet,
but I'm excited to explore this peculiar land of hobbies. </div>

So I don't know how I will follow up the last post about Europe. I feel like that poor chump who has to try and make a 3 foot par putt after Tiger sinks an unthinkable 30 footer to take the lead on Sunday. Anyway, life continues post-euro. Here are some pictures:<br />

If you want to know about our bike ride of all bike rides that happened that day up The Devil's Spine, ask. It is way to much to write about in a blog. <br />
<br />
<br />
Recently, we had an idea. Here's how it came about: Spencer and I tend to get a little competitive in some aspects of our lives. Thanks to modern technology- scores from games on our iPhones can now be shared and seen as they happen. This has led to an addiction to the game Fruit Ninja on my part. I must say Spencer's scores blow mine out of the water across the board but that is beside the point. One night, we figured why not play REAL LIFE Fruit Ninja? A quick search on the internet for a Samurai Sword and there has never been a better Ebay purchase for $25. <br />

blogged. For all you die-hard Brown Blog-Readers out there. We most
deeply and sincerely apologize. But life comes at you fast and alot of
things have happened since last blog post. Let me give you a quick run
down with some picts.<br />
<br />
First and foremost- we went on an
awesome trip to Europe. As a graduation gift for Dani, we got to visit
my old stomping grounds of Portugal and Madeira As an added bonus, we
stopped by Paris on the way home. Dani was loving the European food. I
think we lived on crepes, croissants, and francezinhas (you'll see what
that is in a minute). Here are <u>just a couple</u> pictures...<br />

Also my first try of a Francezinha. Now for those Americans who have no idea what a Francezinha is- let me tell you... It is basically a sandwich that has Bread-sausage, ham, and some other meat-cheese-bread-probably more cheese-Bread. On top of that they cover the whole thing with melted cheese. And the moat around that is the infamous sauce. This is a beer-based sauce and let's just say it has a very strong flavor.<br />
<br />
Do not be fooled by my face- I didn't dig it so much. I am not picky at all, this was just a...umm..new flavor I wasn't used to.<br />
<br />
Aka yuck!<br />
<br />
But guess who does like Francezinhas? <br />

<u>Adventure Story</u>: FYI Buses don't run on holidays, even if you've already paid for the ticket. Instead you can pay about 5x more for a cab and he will drive about 120mph to get you to the airport. Whew. Once we got to the airport, our flight was delayed 2 hours... Dang. But we can handle that right? Sure. <br />
Once we get on our flight from Madeira --> Porto --> ORLY airport in Paris, we hear our incredibly French flight attendant announce something bleh bleh bleh Charles de Gaule airport.... Say what?? Did I just hear CDG?? We are supposed to be going to Orly. Are we really going to CDG? Oh we are in deed. Because of the flight delay and Orly closes at midnight, we fly into CDG. Crap.<br />
<br />
That is about an hour north of our hotel. And we most definitely don't speak French! All the metros and trains close at midnight and it is about 2am at this point. A taxi is about 60 euros, which I so intelligently now know that turns out to be about $90. Yikes. We hear a French bus driver say he's going to Paris, so we figure it is going to be closer than where we are now so we jump on blind.<br />
<br />
We literally get dropped off in a roundabout that is under construction in the middle of no where. We ask our bus driver where we are on the map- Oh you are WAY out here off the map. Greeeaaattt. We find a cab driver and ask him if he will take us to our hotel and he says in Frenglish- "oh that is way too far away!" Ummmm are you serious!! At this point, Brad literally is scoping out benches trying to find one
where I can sleep and he can make sure nothing happens to us!<br />
<br />
We finally find another cab driver who was nice and took us right where we wanted to go. This was a French miracle.<br />
<br />
<b>Mini Trip #3- Paris!!! </b><br />
A few hours later we started our busiest day yet. Our stay in Paris was filled with the tower, crepes, croissants, Notre Dame<b>, </b>the metro<b>, </b>the Louve, walking, Roland Garros (almost), adventure, Luxemburg Gardens and lots more walking. </div>

The Louve was unbelievable. There is no word that describes how big it was. Egyptian wing, Italian Renaissance wing, French Revolution wing. Each wing had 3 doors to enter, each of those doors had 2 different wings, each of those wings had an up and down stairs. Each of those floors had about 20 rooms with wings of their own. Just think eternity. That is how big the Louve is. </div>

The last two years of my life I've been a little busy reading Harvard Business School Cases. And writing papers on them. But not until I've completed a late-into-the-night group project on that case. And then changed our mind so we had to start over. But then one of the numbers was off in part A, so we needed to start over again. When we change that we have to change the marketing mix, our WACC, the elasticity of our company, and project schedule/budget and plan. </div>

You can see why, on this glorious graduation day, I seem to be a little crazy. </div>

Nevertheless, it is here!! Graduation baby. A lot has happened in the past two years, the most important being my handsome husband. His optimistic, calming personality was the only way I survived all of those cases. Just ask my classmates- I was a different girl when I started school. Let's just call it a little bit more..... Haha ok nevermind let's just call it what it is- I was more crazy! I was anxious, stressed, and always seemed to have too much on my plate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Enter Brad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is unbelievable at being steady. Oh he gets excited (a lot), and sometimes (rarely) is down too. But he has a wonderful gift of seeing the world in perspective. He doesn't get stressed about the little stuff and handles everything in a very reasonable way. And the best part- he's rubbing off on me :) I'm a much different person than I was in August 2012. I like to call it more mature!</div>

Business school <strike>is</strike> was hard. That pretty much sums it up. But seeing where I am
today and looking over the last 2 years, it was incredibly gratifying. I got a full-time job offer from the Church! I've been interning there since January, and I've loved it. I work as a project manager on the Meetinghouse Technologies team. Incredibly interesting projects and truly gratifying work. I feel so grateful to work where I do and know I wouldn't be there without my education. Graduate on Friday, and start full-time on Monday- I'd say that was a pretty good turn around! </div>

May is my favorite month. But I think this year especially. We wanted to celebrate both graduation and my Bday, so we invited a bunch of friends up the canyon! We had so much fun! Brad and I went up a little early on Saturday to claim a site and to set up! </div>

Ok folks, here's how it is. Dani has gotten me into cycling. Road cycling. I absolutely love it. Little did I know when I joined this sport, that to be accepted into the fraternity of road cyclists, you have to wear tight, flashy clothing. This makes sense as you are trying to go as fast as possible as long as possible with as little wind resistance as possible. When you are as light as me, the smallest gust of wind feels like a hurricane blowing me over. So we recently invested in some tight clothing for me. </div>
