BEWARE OF THE JERK FACES!

 Have you ever met someone that is the same gender as you who you become close with and who is amazing, beautiful, smart and talented beyond belief.. yet they are not appreciated or respected by the opposite sex? Well I have! I will go to the grave saying that have the best looking and talented circle of friends. So this post is to all girls out there who are amazing yet for some odd and unexplainable reason each guy they meet seems to turn out to be a complete and total JERK FACE.

 You might be asking what is a JERK FACE? 

The definition of a JERK FACE is a boy who:

1). Has a wonderful girl that is interested in him

2). Does not put in any effort to a relationship with the amazing girl

3). Thinks he can take advantage of her emotionally and yes sometimes... physically

4). Degrades, disrespects, and has a wondering eye

5). Is not man enough to say how he really feels and thinks that by defining the relationship it will ruin it

6). Drags a girl along by saying that he is not ready for a relationship but if he was, the amazing girl is who he'd want to be with.

7). Lastly a JERK FACE is a boy who doesn't realize what he's got till its gone!

So girls who are amazing, you are still amazing despite how the JERK FACE makes you feel. If the boy you are currently pining over, eating tubs of Ben and Jerry's over, or are currently trying to pursue is any of the criteria mentioned above... RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! There are too many amazing girls in this world and sadly there are too many JERK FACES as well. So don't think  for another minute about the boy that doesn't call you back, cannot take you out on a real date, refuses to show any form of affection to you in public, or is not man enough to tell you how he feels. He is not Prince Charming, he is a weak and sad excuse for a man. You are not going to change him and he is not going to wake up one morning and realize that you are the love of his life and he should treat you like it. He is a pseudo male and will remain that way till who knows when. Don't waste your time with a JERK FACE because there are boys out there in the world that are just as amazing as you and the sooner you delete the JERK FACE from your life the sooner an amazing man will sweep you off your feet. 

If he doesn't call... he doesn't really care

If he can't take you out on a real date... you are not worth the time or money to him

If he doesn't want to define what you are and considers a red box and making out on the couch an adult relationship... he is a child and most certainly a JERK FACE

If he cannot express how he feels about you or you have to be the one to say it first... he is not worth a thought, wasting another minute on your cell phone bill, or crying over.

Boys do better to find the amazing girls and amazing girls ditch the JERK FACES!

If I could take a picture of what the inside of my brain looked like right now it would look like this

There are just a few things that help to make sense of it all.

Some are prophetic words from the wisest man on Earth

"Decisions Determine Destiny!" 

"Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen; and choose faith over pessimism."

Thomas S. Monson

Some are words from the MOST attractive man in all of Canada

"There's a thousand ways for things to fall apart

It's no one's fault. 

Maybe all the plans we made might not work out

But I have no doubt, even though its hard to see

I've got faith in us and I believe in you and me."

Michael Buble you are like Buddha.

Favorite Things in the world: ANYTHING apple, iphone, ipod, macbook... he's quite the enthusiasts! Fast cars, vans, the beach, bagels, Coldplay, and dirt biking

Why He is my F.P.O.T.W.

He is about to go into the MTC and is going to be serving a full time mission in the San Pablo Philippines Mission!!!! I could not be more excited for this boy that I have come to love in so many ways! He will be Great!!! 

How I know this F.P.O.T.W.

When I was 16 and moved back to California everyone and their dog...no really dogs like him... were obsessed with this kid named Trevor Brown. I vaguely remembered him before I moved and I did not get the fascination, UNTIL I talked to the little charmer and I was hooked! We bonded through out high school as I picked him up each morning before seminary. He would always eat bagels in my car and I hate when people eat in my car, but I was so in love with Trev that I let him and I even enjoyed watching him devour his bagels... enough about the bagels. So Trev is just one of those teddy bear people (except of the fact that he is anthesis of fat) because you just see him and he has his arms already stretched out and you get so excited because you know you are about to experience a Trevor Todd Brown hug... and those are just WONDERFUL! So basically it was love at first sight with this one!

Why I love this F.P.O.T.W.

Trevor Brown is 

smart... like insanely!

He is a good driver... he can go 100 mph in when I am in the car... I trust him

We have been married on facebook twice and engaged once and I think half of facebook thinks that I am divorced

He is cute! Seriously I love his hair and his smile

He is a dreamer and that's just hot!

Once he came up to Idaho and me, him and Kati went to Yellowstone but it was closed but we still had the best weekend conceivable! 

He is always good at checking up on me. I love getting a Trevor Brown text that usually starts off like, "Aubrey Ann Brennan, I miss you babe! call me;)"

He is good at everything. 

He is athletic

I have more romantic pictures with them then all of my ex's combined! 

He has the best laugh!

He gets along with 39 year olds and 5 year olds... everyone loves Trev

So Elder Brown I will miss you but I am so excited to hear about all the amazing things you are going to be doing! I love you and can't wait to see you in dos! 

Yes we are cute together. No, he is too good for me. Yes I am okay with that!
