What Would I Find In Your Bag...

• Wallet with lots of cards, receipts, some cash, checks not cashed, and my checks.
• My camera
• Pens 2 that write black and 1 that writes blue.
• Car keys that way they never get lost. :)
• 3 different packs of gum. 2 fruity ones and 1 minty one. I'm a little self-conscience about my breath. Only a little bit. :)
• and most awkwardly.... TAMPONS... eww!!!!

A Letter To Your Parents...

Dear Mom,

Thank you for all that you do for me. Thank you for being so nice and raising me so well. Thank you for teaching me the in's and out's to being a woman. Thank you for showing me love and kindness. Thank you for being such a wonderful cook and wanting to share that talent with me for my future as a wife and mother. Thank you for being there for a good laugh, cry, and smile. Thank you for teaching me the facts of life (even the life of hard knocks). Thank you for showing me that it's okay to be different and unique. Thank you for taking the time to read scriptures with Chris and I each night. It means a lot to both of us and we appreciate it. Thank you for being so nice and genuine to Chris. He really appreciates all you do, especially making grilled cheese sandwiches! :) Thank you for loving me unconditionally, even when I do make mistakes; and I know I've made A LOT! Thank you for the many compliments, hugs, kisses, I love you's, smiles, and laughs. You are one of my heroes and I admire you so much. Even if you are a little bit RED I still love you regardless. I love you so much. I'm glad I picked you in the pre-existence to be my mother, I couldn't have picked a better person to raise me into the person I want to become. You are my true best friend. Thank you so much!

Love, Em-r-lina! :)

Dear Dad,

Thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for lecturing me so much. I do listen and sometimes it does drive me crazy... I do appreciate you. Thank you for working so much to provide for all my many wants and needs. Thank you for showing me that its okay to be different and unique. Thank you for teaching me life lessons that I may have never known or figured out. Thank you for the ring! :) It may be all bent out of shape and was lost for about 2 years, but I think the ring was a lot like me. I'm happy that I found it and I am no longer lost without it. Thank you for your kindness to Chris. He still remembers what you said to him the first day he was here over a year ago. I'm sure he will NEVER forget it. Thank you for being so fun and upbeat. Thank you for being so caring and so kind. I'm sure thats just the BLUE in you. :) Thank you for the many father's blessings and teaching me and raising me in the gospel. I am very thankful that you hold the priesthood and that I can ask for a blessing anytime. I love you so much. I'm glad I picked you in the pre-existence to be my father, I couldn't have picked a better person to raise e into the person I want to become. I will always be daddy's little girl. Thank you so much.

Love, Emily Rebecca in your SOUP!

What Makes You Different Than Everyone Else...

I am different from everyone else because I am awesome... and everyone else is well.... not as awesome as me! :)

But seriously....

I've been told that I am a lot of fun to go shopping with and hang out with. (My mom told me this... so I don't know if I really believe it... because she is my MOM and she has to say nice things... LOL!)

I LOVE to clean! BUT... I have to be in the mood to clean, which is usually when something is really weighing on my mind. I do love cleaning though, much more than some people that I know.

All I can think of is how awesome I am... so I will stop blogging for now. :)

A Picture Of Something That Makes You Happy...

Yup.

Someone You See Yourself Marrying Or Being With In The Future...

First two pictures are two of the first I ever saw of him, before we even met!! :)

He is always looking out for me and wants the very best for me!!

He loves to hug, kiss, touch, cuddle, caress, and just be around me all the time. Can you blame him??? ;)

He is SOOOO strong!!!

And sooooo serious...

But he loves me, even when I don't look myself! :)

He brings out the best in me and I can be my true self around him. He doesn't care what I do or say, he loves me regardless.

Sometimes he does make me mad and give me hell, but at the end of the day... he is the man I want to spend the rest of eternity with. He is my heart and soul, my everything!

Even when he "tries" to act gangsta...

Or badass.... ("BA" as he calls it!)

I can always surprise him with the littlest things and he just loves it. I know that will only continue when we are married. The surprises will always keep coming! :)

He is also very adventurous and loves to try new things and visit new places. :)

WHAT A GOOBER!!!!

BUT... He's my goober! I love him! He is and always will be my best friend and I grateful to say that he has been the biggest influence on my life. He's made me a better person and I can never repay him for all that he's done for me.

I love you Chris! We may have had some rough and tough times, but I know that it has only brought us closer together. I cannot wait to get to know you more and spend MANY, MANY, MANY more years by your side, on your team, and cheering you on. You are my everything!

I LOVE YOU BABY! :)

Nicknames You Have And Why You Have Them...

Em- It's shortened... Emily.

Auntie Em- Obviously, my nieces and nephews call me that.

Becks- One of my friends from online gave me this nickname because my middle name is Rebecca, so she came up with that.

Emmeline-Friends from home have called me Emmeline.

Emdawg13- My online alias. (You can also take the 13 off so its just Emdawg)

Em Em-Jenny calls me this.

I can't think of any other nicknames I have, but if you think of some... post them in the comments. :)

Plans/Dreams/Goals I Have Are....

Someday I plan to be married in the house of the Lord to my best friend. I dream that it will be wonderful and magical. I've seen my older siblings get married but it's not the same as seeing it as in actually doing it. They were happy and it was probably wonderful and magical to them. For me, it was just another day. A day to get out of school and go to the temple and sit there and wait while they did their thing. My temple marriage will be so special and I can't wait for it to happen.

Some goals I have to make my plans happen are:

1. Surrounding myself around good people who have the same goals as me and only want me to be happy. I haven't had the best influences in my life but I've also had some great ones. My family, my besties from high school, Jenny, Leah, and Chris... just to name a few.

2. Going to church and getting a stronger testimony. I'm already doing that. :)

3. Reading the scriptures, praying, serving others, being a member missionary, being honest, being a good example to others, choosing the right, etc, etc. I know that if I do all these things, I will be blessed and will someday be able to enter the house of the Lord and be married to my true and trusted companion, my earth best friend and my eternal best friend.

Someone You Would Want To Switch Lives With For One Day And Why...

I would switch with someone who is famous probably, not entirely sure WHO I would pick but someone who was famous and had a good life. If I switched with someone famous, I would blow all their money on expensive things but of course, I would be able to keep the things at the end of the day. They could just go make a movie or a music video to pay for all the money that I blew. Yup, thats who I would switch lives with. It would do them a lot of good too, they would realize how good they have it with money and how they wish they had money when they are me.

Another Picture Of Yourself...

Ok, so I really hate that this pic is SO dark but I just love this one of me. Let me do a break down of what is going on if you can't see it. Evan is pulling my braid... Ashlyn is crying like a little baby... and I am just smiling and loving all of it.... I'm not sure what Mom is doing. Oh well... so fun!
