Surprise!!

I know, I KNOW I always post about how happy I am, and how great life is, and I'm sorry, it's like the same old same old, "Oh, Emilie's doing great!  She's happy... surprise surprise!"  Haha but really you guys, I am SO DANG HAPPY.  Life is oh so amazing right now, like I can't even TELL YOU.

Anyway, I won't go into detail, it would take toooo long, but just know that EVERYTHING is great.  I wouldn't change a stinkin thing.

Muah to all of you.

Tiiiiiirrrrrrreeeeeedddd

I'm exhausted.  
Really though...I'm falling asleep while typing this.  :P
There's just so much to do EVERYDAY, ya know?
Bleh.  Nap time?
Sounds good, peace OUT

Life's good y'all. Real good.

Life is so stinkin wonderful.  I seriously love it so much. :)

Also, Alma 36:3 is a fab scripture... "Whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day."

• Isn't that wonderful to know?  We all go through hard things...we really do!  Some peoples trials seem harder than others, but really it's ALL hard..but never more than we can handle.  "Be kind.  Everyone you meeting is fighting a hard battle."  <--TRUE THAT.  I know if we put our faith in God, if we realize there's a purpose, that He loves us and is walking by our side through the whole thing and then on after, TRUSTING Him, life is going to be so much better, and you know that He's going to protect you and raise you up 'at the last day.'   I need to remember this more often. :)

I'm grateful for friends and just, people to talk to.  I'm grateful for people who listen. :) ..and for people who try to understand me the best they can, sometimes I just don't make sense.  Like okay, I have a story.  It was so embarrassing, oh gosh.  I'm a dork okay?  We all know that.  So this wonderful boy, Jake, was giving me a ride home from school last week.  We're walking to his car and to get there we went through an elevator in the business building.  I guess it smells like weed.  Yeah, well we're talking once we get out, and he's like, "Did you smell that in the elevator?"  I said "no..what was it?"  And he's like, "it smells like weed in there!"  And so I said, "well, I don't think i've ever smelled weed...haha"  So he's like, "well next time we're in there, I'll point it out and then you'll know."  So then I go on, and I'm like, "Oh but I've smelled Marijuana I think..that stuff smells so gross."  I turn to look at him and he's smiling and laughing, so then I'm like, "Oh gees, they're the same thing huh?"  YEP people, news flash.. weed and marijuana are the saaaameeee thing.  I'm awesome you guys.  Simply AWESOME.  I was dying, hahahaha it was priceless.  Anyway, thanks Jake for not making too much fun of me, and for getting my blondeness and all that. :P  You're great. :)

I can't get over how beautiful my lil sis is getting.  STAY AWAY YOU BOYS!!!

I'm in love with WATER.  Always drinkin that stuff and I don't care for anything else. :)

I...forgot about my appointment with my hometeachers..so I missed them. :( Whooopsies...we're gonna try again this Wednesday. I hope I don't forget.

I HAVE A CAR THIS WEEK!!!!  Little Tucker, I'm happy you're here.  I wish we could always be together.

My mom is the sweetest.  She sent me a package this past week, I'd told her about this nail color I was obsessed with, it's a light pink from Aerie, yeah, she totally bought it and sent it to me.  Love her.

My little cousin Melanie is in the hospital for the 3rd time for a critical case of...hmm I don't remember.  It's a weird name.  It's the stage beyond Pneumonia..and I think it starts with an S.  Sedif?  C-dif?  Yeah..it's bacterial, that's all I know.  If it worsens she could lose her colon or..yeah.  But my gosh you guys, it's been horrible.   Prayers are definitely needed. :)  But she's pulling through we think, and a LOT of miracles have happened.  All of our testimonies have grown from this experience and the love we've been able to see and feel from our Heavenly Father.

UM WOW, have you heard the song Paradise, by Coldplay??  A.m.a.z.i.n.g.  I'm in love with it you guys.  Absolutely.  Also, I'm in love with Hallelujah by the Canadian Tenors.  Both songs are absolutely bueno. :)  Youtube um please.

Alright that's all I got for this Sunday.  It's been a great one.
Excited for tomorrow!!  And Tuesday :)  Oh and Friday. ;)

Xoxo, Em

It's a great day

Today is WONDERFUL.  It's my Catie's

YEEEEAAARRRR  MAAARRKKKK!!!

Gah can you even believe it?  I can't!  I mean, SHE LEFT A YEAR AGO!  Time has for sure floooown by for me...FLOWN.  I'm very grateful.  :)  I miss my best friend.  A lot a lot.

Catie's mission has been the absolute best thing for her.  She tells us every week how blessed she is to have this opportunity, she tells me in her letters time is going by way too fast, she believes everybody needs to serve a mission (I can't even tell you how many times she's told me I need to go :), and I just might, you never know!) She loves the people unconditionally, she loves her companion, loves bearing her testimony, sharing her experiences, sharing her passion and love for the gospel and the Book of Mormon.  She wouldn't trade this time for anything!!  I'm so proud of her, what a wonderful example she is and always has been to me.   I'm very lucky to have a sister like her.  She's made us all very very proud. :) I love her SO MUCH!!

6 months best friend!!!!

Xoxo, Em

I. Am. So. Forgetful.

Of course I forgot to turn in an assignment I DID!!  :(  Bleh.  So here's the story and why my grade is now docked 10 whole points! :( I wanted to do some homework outside today.  It was a cool nice day, just lovely out, so instead of going into the library, I sat right outside it.  I didn't have an internet connection, so for my New Testament assignment, I wrote it up on a doc and saved it for later, hoping to remember that I needed to turn it in to blackboard by midnight...well folks, I didn't turn it in.  I went grocery shopping with Lexie AT midnight!  And I didn't get on my computer again at all!  WHA!?!  So I get home at like 1am (shh don't tell my mom, oh hi mom, you're reading this aren't you??  Awesome. ;)) Um so yeah I got home, open my computer to check some emails, and I see this big highlighted document, which was supposed to be a reminder to me earlier, to turn it in!!  But since I hadn't been at my computer all day, turning in that paper didn't happen.  So I have a 0/10.  It's lovely.  No actually i hate it.

FAAAAAAIIIIIILLLLLLLL.

Funeral...

I have horrible news.

My beautiful scentsy is broken.
Now our apartment can't and doesn't smell like Vanilla, or a Jumpin' Jelly Bean, or Fresh Cut Cantaloupe, or Cherry Limeade, or just all those amazing smells.

I'm devastated.
The end.

Life is Good

Randommm little good things :)

• I love my roommates.  In every way.  

       Holly can just make me laugh in a second no matter what, she has an adorable personality, Heather has super funny stories and is soo easy to talk to, Mickelle likes to paint nails and do makeup like I do, Bethany inspires me to be a better person everyday and makes me laugh till my stomach might split, and Katie is obsessed with cars just like I am and is also super fun and easy to talk to!!  Like I said, I .love. my roommates.

• I love skype.  I think I skyped my family everyday this past week.
• I'm becoming even more obsessed with interior design..like I think about it ALL THE TIME.  Always wondering what I can improve on, what I can change in a room, I'm always analyzing everything!  I JUST WANNA BE ONE!!
• I bought really really good strawberries and raspberries at the store yesterday.  They were supposed to be saved for a big breakfast we're having with another apartment for Labor Day..but I think I'm gonna have to go to the store early in the morning and buy some more. :P
• I made a wreath from pinterest.  It's cute.
• I like good quotes..like this one, "Love is friendship caught on fire."
• I like my greek yogurt.  Especially Fage Cherry.  It's like, cherry cheesecake.

• I have an obsession for wedding videos...like seriously you need to check these two out...the first: Dustin and Whitney (done by Haugen Creative) and the second:  Tessa and Matt (done by Nathan Pickett)  I want to be like these two couples someday. :)  They radiate with love and happiness that's seriously contagious.
• I'm getting so excited for fall!!  Woo!  I can't wait for it to start cooling down, for the leaves to turn orange, yellow, and red, for the crisp autumn smell, and stepping on the crunchy leaves on the way to school.  Yay!
• Did you know Catie left a YEAR ago THIS MONTH!?!?!?!?!?!  I know.  It's weird.  
• I love music.  Especially the adorable songs in the wedding videos I posted above :)

Well I think that is all I have to say as of right now.
Happy Sunday!!
