Who am I.



Well... the picture said it all.. Emily. But, WHO is Emily? For the last few months, I've been constantly trying to figure out WHO I am. Who I am now and who I can be in the future!

"I am a Child of God and He has sent me here. Has given me an earthly home with parents kind and dear. Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way. Teach me all that I must do. To live with Him someday."
Isn't that the coolest thing?! I am a Child of God and He has sent me here! We left Him when we came here to earth. He promised us that if we did everything he told us to do; that we could be with Him again. Isn't that so great? But, we forgot what he told us when we got here on earth. So... we, out of instinct, habit, or just because we dont know any better, we mess up! We stray further and further away from the truth, but there is hope! The Atonement was a sacrifice given by Jesus Christ so we could all be saved; no matter what we've done, we can make it back to our Heavenly Father. Now isn't THAT great!? Alot of us, me included have taken the Atonement for granted. Until something so horrible happens, it gives us a wake up call and helps us realize what matters most to us. Ultimately being with my family & Heavenly Father again is what I want the most, so why would I want to do anything to jeopordize that?
Just something to think about!

My 2nd Experience With The Utah Jazz

Last night I went to the Jazz game again with Sarah! We made it to this game pretty early, which was alot better because we could see all the players warming up and get a little more hyped up! Of course we were! This picture is the view of the court from our seats, without being zoomed in. Yeah! ;)


One of the many pictures we took at the game! I love basketball and I know most of what goes on, so we were constantly cheering and dancing and just being downright ridiculous! At halftime, they had this cool crew that did these flips and dunks with the basketballs. It was pretty sweet and most of them were very attractive so it was fun to watch! ;) After that, we went and got some ice cream. The guy said I could get 3 different flavors so I did! I got Cookie Dough, Caramel something, & Mint Chocolate Chip! It was pretty awesome and I ate most of it!!! I still had it after the game and there was this homeless guy on the street corner where we were waiting and I asked Sarah if I should give the guy my ice cream, she said NO! But I totally would have. I'm all about giving to the poor!! Remember me thinking about others??

This game was a lot of fun!!! Thanks again to Lincoln and Sarah for letting me go again!! I love going to those games and would go everytime if they let me! Thanks guys!!!
