It's a Favorite Thing of Mine..

Some people know...that shopping is one of my simple joys.  :)  I seriously love it.  And the best thing ever is when you have a SUCCESSFUL shopping day. :)  Let me repeat.  BEST. THING. EVER.  So yeah, I had one of those days today.  And I was craving a shopping spree sooo bad.  It's been... FOREVER.

Things on the list that I needed:
-dark jeans --MUST HAVE: a cute butt
-church outfit or skirt--MUST BE classy
-sweater--MUST give me shape..something that doesn't make me look like a blob fat guy..like Jabba the Hut or somethin'.
-this was a want that I just happened to find.. :): A RUFFLE SHIRT!!!!  In, might I add, a beeeaaauutttiiiffffuuullll color.

Okay..so my skirt is the fabric of this shoe... I love it. :)

I found it all my friends.  All of that.  All I had been wanting/needing.  It was glorious.  Found my jeans at Downeast.  Found a skirt from Dillards.  Found a sweater at Dillards.  And my beautiful ruffle shirt, from Maurices.

I love shopping.  Def a favorite thing.  Def def definitely.

Also, It's been awhile since I updated this blog...sooo, just wanted to say that life is such a blessing.  I'm grateful to be at this school, I'm lovin my roommates that make me laugh till my stomach's gonna split, my family that supports me through everything, and is always there for me, my cutie pie Jake, who loves me for who I am, and who's always there for me and treats me like a Princess.. I'm grateful for good food, I've found some killer recipes lately, and I've never been much of a cook, but it's actually been quite fun. :)  I'm grateful for my testimony, others testimonies, my life, my Savior, the atonement, my calling, smiles & laughter, jamba, sleep, love, the snow, pictures, memories... life is a blessing!! :)  I love it.

I'm having a hard time believing it's November, BUT it is, sooo Happy November!!

Xoxo, Em

Miracles Happen :)

Bethany and I were asked to do a musical number in church a couple weeks ago, we performed today by a literal miracle. We had a pianist, they fell through on Friday night.  Saturday, we had another, fell through, had another, fell through..the list goes on.  We're seriously scrambling to find SOMEBODY to do it.  Our cute roommate Katie offered to practice but to let her know if we could find anyone else...  then, I actually got a call from a member of our bishopric, asking if we were 'on' for Sunday still...well I told him the dilemma and we cancelled, re-schueduled for a time in November.  By this time it was 9pm Saturday night.  I told Bethany, who...still really wanted to perform.  So she kept looking for people.  The miracle I'm talking about it that a friend of hers knew someone at BYU that could 'play' the piano..so we got her number, texted her, and she said yes.  Well, most people we'd asked said yes, and then looked at the music and said no.  Soo I was a little skeptical, not gonna lie.  And this girl didn't want to look at the music until the next day..Sunday...the day we're performing.  But okay, I called back the bishopric member and told him we were back on.  Sunday came, we picked the girl up from her apartment and went over to the church with less than 45 minutes to practice and pull this thing together.

Alli, the pianist, played the song PERFECTLY the first time around.  Perfect you guys.  It was amazing.  I'd been so stressed I woke up with a tummy-ache.  But it came together, went smoothly, I think people felt the spirit, it was amazing!  I'm quite proud of us. :) :)  Haha I know Heavenly Father is looking out for us, and we never need to give up, He's there and aware of our situations and things we're struggling with.  He'll always be there with a miracle and it'll all work out the way it's supposed to.

Love you all, hope it's been a good Sunday for everybody!

The Teeth are Chattering

Yep.  It's cold now, well, cold-ish, and my teeth are chattering ALL THE TIME.  It's so dumb, and even if I close my mouth, it still happens.  My jaw just shakes up and down. :P  Fun stuff. And now that it's cold, it's time for Rudolph time when it comes to my nose.  Rudolph and I are twinners with the same red nose problem for sure.  :)  It's great.

It's BOOT season baby!!!  Can't even tell you how much I love it.  They're a daily addition to my outfits. :)

School is going wonderfully, I've taken two midterms, and did well on both, BOO YEAH.  My next one isn't till next week, so I can take a breather for a couple days.

I'm singing a musical number in Sacrament Meeting this next Sunday, oohh I know, I'm nervous.  Bethany's playing her violin, we have a pianist from the ward, and then hopefully Lexie will sing with me. :)

I gave my first lesson in church yesterday!  It went so well.  AND I wasn't nervous one little bit, which like, never happens.  I taught on trusting and having faith in the Lord and His plan and timing, something we all need to remember.  My fav quote from the lesson was this one:
‎

"Faith is total trust in Him. Faith is believing that although we do not understand all things, He does. Faith is knowing that although our power is limited, His is not. Faith in Jesus Christ consists of complete reliance on Him."

Nice huh?  Very true.  

Well, I'm a very happy girl, life is going perfectly right now, I feel very blessed.  I have wonderful friends and family. :)

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.
