CAN'T WAIT!!!!

So, some of you may already know this but some of you may not but Chris is coming out this weekend and staying for not just a weekend but for 18 days!!!! Could I be any more happy?? I really dont think so. He'll be staying at Bobbie and Ryan's cause the rules at my apartment clearly state that I cant house a person of the opposite sex. Plus, it will keep us on our fast track to always doing what's right!!! I can't wait for him to be here closer to me and around me alot more. I'll be able to see how he is on a daily basis and just get to know him a lot more!!!

Things have just been falling into place ever since Chris and I have been talking. I was out of a job for a week or so before we started talking then I got the job at Michaels a month after that. Then I finally met Chris and things just started to get better and better. I've been trying to go back to church and read my scriptures and do all I can to be a better person.

I love Chris so much and I'm so happy he will be here longer than just a weekend. I'll keep you all updated!!! ;)

On Rattlesnake Rapids... reaaally cold!!! Playing in the Fountain at Lagoon!

Right before I kicked everyone's trash on the Go-Karts!!!


Chris in his pink car.... :P

Skerrd to ride Wild Mouse.

This trip we went to Lagoon!!! We had a lot of fun. We only rode one roller coaster which was the Wild Mouse. But that was okay. We went on a Friday so all the lines were pretty huge. We rode on the big tall ferris wheel... remind me to never do that again. I didnt think I was that afraid of heights but then I got on that and freeeeaked out. Good thing Chris was there to calm me down. We rode the Go-Karts which was alot of fun, sat and talked, ate Taco's for lunch, and had dip n dots ice cream later. It was a really fun day.

The next day we went to the movie 500 Days of Summer. I really liked that movie alot!!! Later in the afternoon we went to Jenny's pool party. We didnt bring suits but ended up jumping in with all of our clothes on. Chris even had his socks on. Silly boy!! We played Marco Polo and splashed for a bit then went to Bobbie's house and ate yummy chicken enchiladas. After that, we played with Kaylin, watched some tennis, and ate ice cream for dessert. Later that night, we drove home to Oak City and stayed up most of the night just talking. It was really great. Sunday there was no church due to the Oquirrh Temple being dedicated so we relaxed and played with the kids for the day. Mom made a roast and it was sure good. Everyone left so we hung out with Matt and then went to bed. Monday morning we left kinda early to take him back to the airport. I was really sad sending him back this time cause I didnt know when he was going to be coming back. BUT... I do now!!! Sept 18! :)

I'm so grateful to have Chris in my life. He brings so much happiness to my heart and I love him more than anything in the world. He's an amazing man who knows how to make me smile. I cant believe its been almost 3 months since we started talking and we already know all about each other. We're going on our 4th week of seriously dating and its going great. I cant wait to spend more weeks talking to him. He's my best friend and I dont know what I would do without him.

I'm going in those doors someday!

The Temple at sunset is really pretty!!!

At the Joseph Smith Memorial Building

Yes, we went to Temple Square again! It was a lot of fun walking around with him again. We took alot more pics of us this trip cause we werent all awkward and shy like last time. This time we went to the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building which was really cool.

Later that night we went to see District 9! It was a really bloody gruesome movie and I didnt particularly like that, but Chris wanted to see it so we went.

Pics From The Last Post Cause The Pics Uploader Thing Wouldn't Work...

Chris First Visit Part Three. Lunch. Movie. Oak City

This picture was taken at Costa Vida by Jenny. I dont really like my face but look how hot Chris looks!!!! :) That's how it was most of his trip, I couldn't take my eyes off of him and he couldn't take his eyes off of me.

After lunch we took Jenny back to Alpine and then Chris and I went to see G.I. Joes. I LOVED it!!!! Chris thought it was 'alright'. He's more into movies than I am so he's seen alot more with better graphics/special effects bla bla bla.... anyways, I loved it!!! :)

Then after the movie we drove the long trecherous roads to Oak City. Dinner was ready when we got there and so was Mom, Dad, Ryan, Tiff, and Kolby. Chris met everyone and we ate Hawaiian Haystacks. I noticed Chris talking to my family and wanting to get to know them. I really loved that. Kolby wanted to go outside so we all went outside but my parents only have 4 chairs, so Chris and I took the hammock. It was a lot of fun trying to get balanced in it. We only fell out once. :) Matt got home from work so Chris and Matt were talking and they gamed for a bit. Later, Chris and I went back outside and looked at the stars. It was so nice to be there and be holding his hand and cuddling with him. We shared our first kiss together in that hammock. It was really nice. I LOOOOOVE kissing him!

The next day, we went riding with Matt and some of his friends on the dunes. It was Chris' first time on a 4 wheeler.. dont worry I took it slow for him. We had a lot of fun riding but then went back to the house and played with Madelyn, Hiett, and CJ who showed up a few minutes before we went riding. Later in the afternoon, Chris and I took Mad and Hi to the park. We played a few games with them, pushed them in the swings and went down the slide a few times. I had alot of fun. We went back home and Jennie and JD were almost back. We had quesidilla's for dinner and they were really good. Chris and I stayed home Saturday night and watched the Curious Case of Benjamin Button with my parents.

The next day we went to Sacrament together. Held hands the whole time. Mom told me later that people came up to her asking who the boy was that I had brought home. Guess people notice that kind of thing. :S After sacrament, we packed up and I took him to the airport. That may have been the saddest thing hugging him in the airport. I cried for a few minutes after he left. BUT.... he's coming back today!!! YAY!!!! So I'll be sure to blog about this weekend too, and maybe put up more pics on Facebook.

I love Chris and I'm so grateful to have him in my life. He is 15 hours away but I know that he loves me as if he were 15 minutes away. I can't wait to spend more time with him this weekend and I am so lucky to have someone who loves and cares about me. I am really happy and content with my life and where it is going. THANK GOODNESS!!!! It's about time!!! :)

Chris First Visit Part Two. Temple Square!!

Have you ever tried parking at Temple Square? I wouldn't recommend it. We had alot of trouble finding a place close AND we had to get cash to park there, which if you know me I dont carry loose cash around, and I dont think they would take Canadian money. :) Anyways, so we get to Temple Square and it is just absolutely gorgeous. Chris and Jenny looked like such tourists snapping pictures. They both got some good ones. We decided to go to the top of the Church Office Building, which was really cool. You could see the whole Salt Lake Valley. Then we went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. I didn't know that building used to be a hotel one day. I guess you learn new things everyday!!! We decided to go into the North Visitors Center where they have alot of pictures of the Savior and the big statue of the Savior is in there as well. We also went on a small tour about families there as well. One of the missionaries had a really thick southern accent, she was from North Carolina. Then we got hungry so we went to the Gateway Mall to eat at Costa Vida.

Chris First Visit Part One... The Airport!

Sorry it has taken me so long to blog about Chris' first trip, I've been working nonstop and havent really had time to sit because I've been cleaning the apartment for my new roomates to move in, in my spare time. Now I've got some time, I'll blog about his first trip.

I was really nervous to get him. I had all these feelings of, 'What if he doesn't like me?', 'What if I embarrass myself and he doesn't wanna be seen with me?', 'What if I don't like him?' Finally the day came and the night before I woke up every hour cause I was so nervous/excited for him to be here. I got up and got ready for him to come. I thought I looked good, didnt have my contacts but I thought I still looked good. I took off and picked up Jenny. The entire drive up she was psyching me out and making me even more nervous. We went to her work first and I took a tour of that. Finally, we were off to the airport to get him. He called right as we were pulling in. He got there before we did!!!! He said he would just wait in the bag claim till we got there. I parked the car and we went in the airport. As we were going down the stairs, Jenny was like, 'Em, what if he's that guy! Or that guy!!! He's like a mile away from you!!!' Got so nervous. Finally we saw him. He looked so chill and I felt like such a spaz. My heart actually jumped when I first saw him. I went over tapped him and said 'Hey!' Thinking to myself, 'What, no hey good lookin? Hey Chris? Just hey!' But thats all that needed to be said. Jenny stood close by as we had our first awkward hug, it was only awkward because he had his backpack on. :) So then we walked out to the car and went to Temple Square.

Yep! 5 Days!

HAHA!!! Chris is coming in 5 days! Well... technically 4 cause he'll be here early on the 7th! Can't even tell you how nervous/excited I am! We're going to have a good time! Trust me, I'll be blogging about it and taking lots of pics of us for Facebook as well. I am just so happy that I have found someone who really makes me happy. He's so nice to me and I don't know what I would do without him. Ok, Emily breathe!! I'm so nervous! Ah!

UPDATE, The Better One!

Ok, so the last update on me sucked. Sooo..... you get another one. This one is more updated I guess from like 2 days ago cause alot has happened to me in just 2 days.

I went to work on Thursday. Had a long shift and did cashier training then was thrown on a register. THANK GOODNESS I worked at Babies R Us, so I knew how to run a register, cause it was pretty hard. It was a lot of getting used to but after about a constant hour of ringing people up I got it down pat. After that they had me put out some stickers and that went by pretty fast cause before I knew it, I was going on my lunch. When I came back from my lunch, I did recovery which was to find things that were out of place and put them back in their place. Then we did returns and then it was time to go home.

Had work on Friday, got there and helped another new girl put out some fall candles and then later got my own project of putting out some other candles on another aisle. That took me about 3 hours to do, then I went on my lunch and came back and did another project, recovery, returns, then home. I really like it there, its going to take some getting used to but I do like it. I have a full work week next week with almost 30 hours so that will be good.

Chris is coming earlier than expected!!!! YAY!!!! He's coming in 13 days. So August 7!!!! YAY! He's on a direct flight from Calgary to SLC and will get here pretty fast (only a 2 hour flight). We've decided to go to Temple Square and check stuff out there. Then we're going to my parents and spending the weekend down there. Then Sunday he leaves. :( But then he's coming back on the 21st again!!!

So thats what I'm basically doing, Working and talking to Chris. :) Things are going better than they were. My car has been acting up so I've been using my mom's car. Lets hope it can get fixed. Jenny has been busy so our schedules have been kinda mixed up and we haven't been able to hang out much but I still always want to. Guess we'll figure something out, right?

I love my life right now and how I know I want to change to be a better person and do whats right and hang out with the right people. But things are going good. :)
