Brittany and Bobby Get Married.

So last week I was able to be in the blessed event of Brittany and Bobby's wedding. We started the party off in Canada of course at our old home in Calgary. We stayed with our long time friends the Stephen's and had a blast there! They are such a great family we have been friends with them for about 20 years it is crazy. On Friday they had their reception at our old community center. I don't have any pictures from it because I didn't have my camera then so I will have to sneak some from my moms camera. The reception looked very nice! The food was great, and we had a lot of fun dancing afterwards! I love when old family and friends gather for an event like this. Anyway the next day we drove down to Utah because the actual matrimony would be taking place on tuesday which is what you see pictures below! It was a busy few days, I am happy that it took place, but am also happy that it is over.
Here is the beautiful bride!! Isn't she just glowing?!!
These are the Shane children. Lovely family. They are so fun to be around! Such colourful personalities and I mean that in the best way!!
These two boys are so cute. The one of the left is Danny (Bobby's brother's son), and the one on the right is Braddick (Bobby's sisters son).
Mom and Dads crew in Calgary minus some very important families.
The BRIDESMAIDS! - have you seen that movie? If not...well it's freaking hilarious. We missed Amanda here!!!
Bridesmaids and the Bride. I love this photo of us sisters.
The WEDDING PARTAYYYYYYY!!!
Bridesmaids and the BRIDE again. Thankfully she is light as a feather.
My brother Cole and Renee! So in love.
THE HAPPY COUPLE - YAYY!!!!!!

All in all the wedding went off with a bang. It was so great. Tears of joy - of course non on my part I don't weep, but serioulsy I dont. It was cute to see the parents cry, as a kid it's a rare emotion because we think are parents are legit superheroes and don't ever cry, but they do! Such prescious moments. I wish I could've been in the temple with them when they were sealed, I heard it was a great ceremony. With that being said. I congratulate Brittany on a job well done. Bobby is a great sir. Welcome to the family Bobby I look forward to learning more about you. Hopefully its not more surprising than the stuff I already know!! You TWO are awesome.

Life as I know it.

Well we meet again bloggers. Yes it has been almost 7 months since my last post. My life is just not exciting these days. I rarely have adventures to talk about, I mean since I lived in Australia my life seems...well at a stand still.

There have been some happy times I will begin the description now.
1. My sister Brittany is engaged!!!! She got engaged at the end of April I believe, and we love Bobby! He fits so well with our family, such a legit dude. SO happy for the both of them! Seriously though. I couldn't ask for a better brother-in-law. Here is a picture of the happy couple...its is one of my favourites of them!!
2. One day I arrived on facebook with some notifications. Somehow a photo from the past was posted. I love looking at pictures of when we were younger! It just brings back so many memories, plus we all had such creamy looking skin, and we were so cute!!!!!
I lived in swimsuits as a child also...
3. Well last semester one weekend us ladies (Renee, Brittany, myself, Amanda, Michelle all took a trip to Stephens cabin in MONTANA. Amanda and Michelle drove down from Canada and we drove up from Utah/Idaho. It was our last WHORAH. I don't know how to spell that...it kind of looks like I wrote whore even though that doesn't fit with the context of my sentence whatsoever. So that is besides the point. We just stayed inside the cabin all weekend and had girl talk! It was great because Brittany and Amanda are both getting married and Michelle is leaving on a mission so we won't all be togehter for a while! Here is a photo that we took:
I love these girls so much. We have been friends since we were wee babes and we don't need to keep in touch every time we get together it just feels like reuniting with family!
4. It seems as though I am the only single person left on the planet. All my friends seem to be dating or engaged. I am happy for them all! Ahaha despite my wondering of whom I will live with for the rest of my college career. Mind you that is also coming to an end. I believe that there will be about 7 weddings to attend in August, I will acutally only be attending 2. or 1. Still many friends are getting married! I wish I could post all pictures of them but that would be creepy....so I will just give them a web shout out...Erick and Addie, Erick and Chelsea, Brittany and Bobby, Spencer and Cassie, Hillary and Will (recent engagement congrats!) That is all of I can think of now! Wish ALL of you the happiest days on earth. Maybe one day I will walk in the footsteps that you have left behind.
5. School is coming to an end for me. Well I still have a year left by the light at the end of the tunnel is there. I definitely see it, don't need no binoculars or nothing! After this semester I will only have 2 left and an internship. My major is exercise physiology so if you have any family or friends in that field HOOK ME UP! I am trying to find an internship, I would really like to work with athletes basically I need ot shadow an athletic trainer for a team. So hear anything...hollar! After I graduate my plan is to attend massage therapy school in either Utah or Arizona because well those are both great places and there are lots of single people there. Despite my wanting to grow old with my two great danes Achilles and Hercules (I don't own them yet, but one day I am hopeful) I also wish to get married one day. Key word being one day.
6. About 2 weeks ago we got a little group togehter to go tour the Bodies exhibit in Idaho Falls. I love muscles and everything ot do with the body so it was really fascinating, even though I basically knew everything already thanks to the one and only Dr. Davis M.D who taught be everything in Bio 264 and 265. Okay I am only joking clearly I didn't know everything there. I am not THAT smart. But is was super fun. I loved the circulatory system the most I think. It was really fascinating to see all the capillaries and arteries without the body there. It is kind of a sad process how they got that though. Be warned this is a tad graphic. So after the body is dead the inject fluid through the veins that hards all the arteries, veins, and capillaries they then poor acidic mixture to breakdown the remains of the body and what you are left with is a complete circulatory system. After the museum we went to eat then walked by the river. Here is a picture of the whole gang.
While at the museum we pretended to play house, even though it was more like little house on the prairie!
Meet Dustin and Christina. They are one of the cutest couple I have ever SEEN. I am so honoured to call them both my friends, nay best friends. They are great! So fun to be around mainly because you don't feel like a compelte third wheel, more like a 4th or 5th.
I suppose this brings me to the end of my life. School is good, busy but good. I have no regrets nor am I angry, I love summer, I love playing with my aerobie frisbee, and I love playing the human rubber band. Also I see this gentleman every where I refer to him as red runners even though his runners only have a line or two of red. I am convinced he is the perfect person because he is tall and strong. One day I will meet him. Key word being one day.

Sincerely, Karl

Shout out to MA GIRL Kandle Jill Palm Stew

ahahah Kandice, yes I saw Lauren write on your wall with this name (the title of the post) and loved it so much that I thought to pop it in here for yah. Oh Kandice. I feel the need to give you a personal post, mainly because you are the only one who comments on my blog posts, and because well you da bomb. legitimately. During this post I will revisit some of our good times we have shared together over the years we have known one another.

Account #1 : Do you remember when we went to the chinese food place..FORTUNE FOODS right? And we ate the DELISH dumplings and my ears literally caught fire. Well figuratively speaking of course. They were so good, but for some reason those dumpling were and shall remain my kryptonite.

Account #2 : Remember how you refer to your dad somedays, most days, as K-POODLE. hahahaha and how ALWAYS laugh at it. It's just the way you say poodle, which I have adapted. Actually I will have you know as I sit in the HART writing this post, I am laughing to myself about K-POODLE. I will also say his hair looks so good now, embracing the poodle within him!

Account #3 : Picture us in the kitchen in apt 306 at the Ridge. Remember when we were talking about being all domestic. Or DOMESTICATED and you truly believed that was infact NOT a word. Then we were watching a movie or something on a colour television set and they said DOMESTICATED and you just stared at me open mouthed gobsmacked that it was actually a WORD!

Side Note: I don't know if I should be ending all of these accounts with question marks since I am saying remember? Please read at your understanding level, include the Q's if it helps you comprehend my sentences better.

Account #4 : October 30th and 31st respectively HALLOWEEN. We had no IDEA what to dress up as. Then about 50 minutes before we make our appearances at the hottest halloween parties we think of the MOSE magnificent most amazing costumes of our entire lives! Dressing up as a PAKISTANI couple was too good. I loved that no one knew who I was, we were just so authentically ethnic. You have great bronzer. Also the pedophiles! How random, creepy, and brilliant at the same time!! ONLY if we could've had a rapist van you know the kind that has no windows and is white? Yah that would've completed the outfit very nicely. Not to mention we probably would've made breaking news. I see it now headlines streaming across television screens : PERP PEDOPHILES PERUSE THE STREETS OF REBURG. We could've made history you and I.

Account #5 : Remember when we went to LION KING. And it was soooo good. And your mom made a whole bunch of snacks before the event and they are called jour d'ouvers. I have no idea how to spell that, but I know you will understand. And they were so tasty!! We road in a limo, and the AC was blowing so hard that your wylie coyotes ruined one or two picture from streaking into my face! hahaha

Acount #6 : Imagine the sunshine inside of SUNSPLASH. Remember how the person could never remember my name. Oh yes Carol, or Kristi. That made me feel really special. Also how we got sooooo tanned that summer. Yes I miss those days. We are both now like ghosts. Metaphorically speaking of course, cause we didn't die, although you did get married which is a lot like dying. JOKES! aha. But still we are like ghosts in regards to our skin colour, it lacks cappucino pigmentation. That was such a great summer wasn't it?

Account #7 : So your mom is a really good cook. Remember how we tried to make merangues one night. And we literally beated the stuff for 20 minutes and we were so excited, then we circles them perfectly on the sheet and waited and they were BARF. Hard work WASTED. Fun work, I truly believe that my biceps are much toner and stronger today from mixing it for so long. Maybe we can get togehter one day and make them again!!!?!?!?! Honestly though. Lets make some.

Well I love you Kandice. You are so funny. You will remain one of my good friends till the day I die. Which facebook has predicted to be Feb 18, 2013 incase you were wondering. You can be my ugogolizer. Also called Eulogist. I hope you are having a good semester!! I hope to see you in the WINTER. Maybe we can go boarding together! I know you will read this, and I look forward to your comment!!!!!!!!!

In the Spirit of Giving

Well I do love giving, but this isn't so much in the spirit of giving as it is in the spirit of thanksGIVING. I guess that should've been my post title. I could go back and change, but sometimes it's fun to talk it out yourself while others read a long and understand you reasoning for not changing some words. After all does it really make a difference if I were to write THANKSGIVING instead of GIVING? I think not. That is a rhetorical questions, do not answer it in the comment box please. ahah.

I am thankful for this Holiday season. Which makes me sound like I am referring to Christmas when in actuality I am referring to Thanksgiving. This could be a confusing, but I know you'll catch on eventually. Well there actually is no catching on that needs to be done because I just blatantly told you that I was actually referring to Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for family. I love my family. I love the ways we do and do not get a long. We are colourful characters. It is never quiet in the Percifield household when all 5 of us are home. It actually isn't quiet whenever I am home. I bring out the best in people ahah. I am thankful for my mom and my dad and the hard work they do and the examples they are to me.

I am thankful for Texas. Because it is a great state. Also because it doesn't recieve snow. I actually like the snow just don't like the cold. Unfortunatley they come hand in hand. I like going back home and seeing green, and my pool (even though the water is cold) and the sun, and the temperatures about 70!!

I am thankful for BYU-Idaho. I love this school, not always the courses or the people. But I am thankful for this school allowing me a full week to go home for this feastful holiday.

I am thankful for food. I love food. As you can obviously tell by my bod. I love turkey, cranberry sauce, STUFFING, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, and PUMPKIN PIE. It is so tasty. I am lucky to have not one, but two thanksgiving a year. This is one of the benefits of being CANADIAN and living in AMERICA you just celebrate both!

I am thankful for work. I am so forutante to have a job with great people. SHOUT OUT to Amy (I know you will read this), Elise, Kierstin and all you other great people!! You keep me young! I feel more grown-up because I have a salary. NBD.

I wish all of you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Travel Safely. Be Grateful. Be Thankful. Peace and Blessings.

a little late but..the PUMPKIN of 2010 is here!!

So this year I was debating over Dwight Schrute or Jack Sparrow. I posted it as my status on facebook, and although many loved Dwight (obviously) Jack Sparrow won the overall battle. I thought it was more halloween-ish anyway so that who I carved!!


I know I posted two picture and they are pretty, well actually very similar. But sometimes you need to images to get a better look, instead of staring at the one picture for hours on end, because I know you all will be absolutely gobsmacked when you see this and will sit at your computer staring for hours hahaha. Jk.

Just a Touch of Pointless Babble

I know I just revealed to you all a new post yesterday. Might as well not keep Christmas waiting. And by that phrase I don't mean Christmas at all cause WE are the ones waiting for Christmas to get here not Christmas itself. As a particularly Christmas savvy individual I am strongly resisting my inner elf to start pulling out the lights, and Christmas music, and movies. But this is besides the point, how did I even get talking on Christmas in the first place...oh yes. I thought I would enlighten the lives of those who read my blog with some snarky comments. Well not really snarky but I think you get my drift. If not i'm sure you get the picture.

As I sit here in the Crossroads (that is what our school's cafeteria is called fyi-- it's nothing short of a happening place. It's actually a lot nicer than what most of you are invisioning...I am betting a lame school cafeteria) anyway it is not this at all. Food is pretty good, although I have to resist every temptation to go by that food, I can spend lots of money on food. Not necessarily a lot of food, just a regular portion size of food that really isn't to costly...around $5.00 none the less five a day ads up doesn't it? Back to the point...or are there points to rambles? I guess there could be. Sitting here is pretty entertaining...why you may ask...the fact that the Crossroads is loaded with over 100 people at lunch time is fascinating to me. Not the number of people...but the types of people. I LOVE PEOPLE WATCHING. It is so interesting to me to see boys and girls, guy and dolls, brothers and sisters whatever floats your boat interacting with people. Example number 1 (and I so wish I could've posted a video of this happening but it happened lickity split, and right before my eyes, no ones reactions could've captured it. This girl is sitting below me..(I am on a platform at a table that sits at least 7, however I am by myself I think i look more inviting htat way. Where as if I sit at a two seater no one will come say hi) and from out of no where this geeky looking boy runs over and slides across the table to sit by her. He earns ten points for 1. sliding with such finesse and 2...well actually just for that reason. No falling or flailing of the arms at all. Example 2. I love seeing people eat their foods. Hoping they don't look like a complete fool as they swing their mouth around to catch the cheese falling of a pizza...or arching their back as to hope not to get any pasta sauce on their shirts...which is inevitable we know it always happens..NAPKINS people...napkins. The humble workers of the crossroads (the male ones at least) much resemble Lurch from the Adams Family. Hunched over, swinging a pail full of water to clean tables. What sloppy students we have here. But really you would've thought a 5 year old was eating at the table....some times that is probably true...but sometimes it isn't. Also I love hearing fake people except for I don't. There are girls on campus who seem to have self esteem issues, not because they aren't pretty but because..(we aren't really sure what they are lacking...and by we I mean the people inside my head and I...jk I don't have voices.) but they just over-exaggerate everything, try to be really outgoing which just turns into obnoxious individuals. Notice how I haven't mentioned one name in this post? You know why...I learned a valuable lesson last night...not from my experience. But I was in the library and I happened to be sitting next to these two girls whom I don't know and they started ripping on this girl (who I know) they went on and on, I was just like...never talk about someone because you never know who is listening..also girls like gossip so it always finds it's way back to that person. Anyway so yeah...lesson learned, tough stuff. Then there are the innocent souls who are so tired that they just have to rest their wee heads for a mere moment of blissful shut-eye. To these folks I just want to go give them a blanket and a pillow and say "I'll wake you in twenty minutes". However those are not easily packable items. By backpack is full of goods -- advil, first aid kit, plethra of band-aids, granola bar, paper (obviosuly) but a blanket and a pillow just can't pack. Also...no post is good without a picture:


I love my siblings..even though this is only two of them.

Anyway if any of you really read this, hope you enjoyed it. I liked writing it enough to post it...or else it would've been a waste of my time. It's pointless babble really, but every now and then I find it interesting to see what people are thinking. Make a post of pointless babble.
