In the last 30 days ...
1. I went to Hawaii for my Grandpa's funeral. It was a perfect weekend celebrating an amazing man with a family I absolutely, totally adore.
I heart Hallstroms ...
... and Uncle Jim's Kalbi ribs ...
... and work parties at Grandpa's house ...
... and the "return-me rhyme" in Grandpa'sbooks, found at said work party ...
... and terrifying quantities of KFC ...
... and cousin Chris eating this entire plate of Chantilly Cake, all because someone said, "I dare you" ...
... and self-portraits — Hawaiian-style ...
... and cool cousins ...
... and the loveliest of grandparents.2. My hair has returned to its blonde roots — however artificial they may be. It's good to be back.
3. We went to Idaho Falls to help Adam's parents move into their beautiful new home. It was so fun to be a part of the transition (not to mention show off my brute strength), and we can't wait to make millions of new memories on Strawberry Lane. By the by, don't you just love that street name? My inner 4-year-old was hoping Strawberry Shortcake would show up with a plate of cookies welcoming them to the neighborhood.
4. We found out these two crazy kids are coming home.
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!6. Oh, and we bought a house. Adam and Briana Stewart are, you know, homeowners.
7. I know, right?

YOu are so cute! And congrats on buying a house! I hope to hear all about it.
And I hope you're coming to the next book club!
Good post Bri. Lots of great stuff to celebrate in the last month that is for sure.
love this!
and remember how we're both real grown ups with homes now? crazy. but are we really grown up if we still entertain ideas that there is a possibility strawberry shortcake will stop by with treats!? ...but my street is "clifford ln" and i don't know how i feel about a giant red dog showing up on my front step. he'd have to bring some mighty tasty dog biscuits to make that worth it.
I love all the pictures. What an eventful month! And homeowners? Wowza's!Congratulations. I feel a party coming on!
what, no picture of your hair??
Who do you think we are, patient people???
Phew! What a month!
It has been an amazing couple of months...and it is not over yet! Welcome back to blondness...it is nice to be home isn't it?! Although you were a a pretty adorable redhead...maybe there will be some adorable redheaded "Breezelettes" in your future...who knows?! And picture of your house...where is that? I'm excited to have your parents coming home too! So glad we are family...love ya!
Excellent post! I love your number 7 :)
I would like to pretend that you get your amazing ability to tell a story with words from me...alas, though, that simply cannot be! I think that gift is yours alone. What a delightful post...many memories, smiles and a few tears shed while reading. SO worth the wait!
We are so excited your parents are coming home! As for the whole home-owner thing, jealousy runs deep. No really, we are excited for you guys and can't wait to see pictures, hint, hint.
That is quite the month. Can't wait to see more pictures of the blonde returned and of your new house!
First, got a fun message from you that I need to return. How exciting!
Second, can't wait to see the pictures of the new home.
Third, congrats on your Dad's new call and hip hip that they are coming home.
Love you both so much!
What a cute post! I love all the pictures of Hawaii. So beautiful. I am also very excited for you that you found a house, but sad for me that you won't be my neighbor and in my ward any longer. I hope to see you before you go! And, I too want to see pictures of the house!
What a whirlwind of a month... lots going on... congrats on 2,4 & 6... love the "return me rhyme"... miss you... so great to talk to you tonight... love you!
good to have you back.
i've missed you.
don't EVER stay away this long again...can't wait to see the blonde again AND the house!
Lovely post. Sounds like an eventful month. I'm so excited for your new home! When do we get to see it?
A lot has been happening with you guys! I look forward to hearing about/seeing your new home! How fun!
Enjoyed reading about your wonderful family. We are so pleased that your parents will soon be home. Thanks so much for all your help with our move. We still have tons of boxes and have hardly done a thing since you left. When are you coming back?
Oh, and just what is Chantilly Cake?
It sounds and looks delicious.
Love you both!
a house! congrats! we are going to miss you.
so many amazing things happening in the life of one of my favorite gals! Please tell me your new street name is even one-third as cool as Strawberry Lane. I love you!
Sounds like a great month! I need pics of the hair and house!
Busy lady! Exciting changes (hair and home)! I second the motion to see see pics of said changes =).
Sorry we missed seeing you all. Both Uncle Mike and I were returning from off island trips. But we hope to be seeing more of the Hallstroms when we move to Provo this summer.
