22 years old

Welp, I'm officially 22 years old as of May 21st at 11:45 PM. 

I had the best birthday ever this year. I just have to brag about my husband first. I have the greatest husband ever. He is always spoiling me at random times. He's the best. I just love him. 

Well anyways, I went to Idaho Falls for my birthday and it was amazing. I got to see Daniel's family. That was great. :) 

We started our journey on May 19th after Daniel got off work. He got home at 5:30 and he got ready, we finally left around 6:15 or so but we haven't eaten, so we went to Subway and then we finally were on the road around 6:45. It took forever. But, I slept most of the way... so it wasn't that bad. :) I think it's funny that when I was younger  and my family and I took a vacation I could never sleep in the car. Now, I can sleep and sleep and sleep when Daniel and I go on vacation. It's wonderful. it makes it less boring. :) haha so anyways, we made it to his parents in St. Anthony around 11, and visited with them for about an hour and went to bed at midnight. 

Sunday we got up and went to Sacrament Meeting where his grandparents were speaking. (They've been on SEVEN missions together. So cool) They just got back, so they were speaking in the ward so we went to listen to them. It was so awesome. It makes me want to go on a couples mission with Daniel someday. that will be so fun. Anyways, after sacrament, we went back to his parents house and had lunch/dinner and his grandparents came and ate with us. It was so good. We had Potato casserole and salad and rolls. Yum! and then after they sang Happy Birthday to me and his mom made me Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies and homemade Oreo ice cream. BEST. THING. EVER. My mommy-in-law is the best. :) Then I got to open a present from Daniel, it was a BSU snuggie. It is so warm! and really big on me. haha but I love it. Then, we went to visit his sisters in Ucon, Idaho. It's about 5 minutes away from Idaho Falls. It was so fun to be with them! While I was there I found out that I am allergic to Bunnies... sad right? I thought so, My eye got so red! It was really sad! I love bunnies! haha but I never got to hold one until this time... anyways after I found that out I got to open another present from Daniel. It was a Tetris board game. So fun. Then we went back to his parents and went to bed. 

Monday: MY BIRTHDAY!!! :) I woke up at about 9:30 and got on Facebook and there were already 21 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! posts on my wall. It made me feel so special! It was amazing. I love being loved. then at noon we went to Daniel's Grandma's house (His mom's mom) and ate lunch and they sang happy birthday. It was great! I love having a birthday. :) and then we went down by the river and panned for Gold (well mostly Daniel did... I thought it was boring... haha) We didn't find any gold. But Daniel did almost got stuck in the mud and it was up to his hip almost. It made me laugh. :) and then we went back home and chilled for a little bit and waited for his mom to get home and we went shoe shopping and went to Texas Roadhouse. I had a blast. Shoe shopping is always fun. :) Especially when you get really cute shoes. I got a pair of tennis shoes and black sparkly dress shoes. I just love shoes!  They are 5.5 inches. So cute. :) 

At Texas Roadhouse I got Baby back Ribs and mashed potatoes. SO GOOD. oh and I also had a million rolls. Oh my heck those things are so good. :) 

While we were there, Daniel gave me the rest of the presents. There was a BSU puzzle, BSU earrings, BSU key chain, socks, BSU shower curtain. let's just say most of the presents were BSU. haha 

Then I got home and got back on Facebook to see all the Happy Birthday posts. Let's just say I love my friends. :) Then we went to bed. It was a fantastic day. :) 

Tuesday: We got up and went to his grandparents (His dad's parents... the one's that went on the 7 missions) and had lunch and got to know them better and took a tour of their home. It was lovely. They have a room that the walls are painted yellow. Let's just say that was my favorite room. Then we went back home and took a nap.

That night we went to Applebees with my best friends and favorite twins Austin and Stefan Wood. Austin is the one that introduced Daniel and I at the party so it was really good seeing them. They are so fun. I love hanging out with them! 

Then we went home and hung out  and chatted with his mom for awhile and we went to see The Avengers. Great movie! I have always loved the Hulk. He's my absolute favorite superhero. :) Then we went home and went to bed. 

Wednesday (today): We got up and left around 10:30 and got home at 3:00 and then Daniel had to go to work at 5. So now I'm home. alone. watching Disney Channel. Fun. Well! at least I had a great week. It was fun!! I love vacations. :) 

These are all my presents that I got for my birthday. 

Most of them are from Daniel. I love him. Did I mention that? :) hehe 

High School Choir Memories

So last night was the high school choir concert. I always love the end of the year concert because it gives me so many memories of my choir class all 4 years of my high school career. Last night was so amazing. lots of memories. I also remember being the most shyest person ever and never sang out loud before going into that class, but by the end of my senior year, people kept telling me that they could hear me. It made me excited. Anyways, last night was the end of the year concert. It was so good. My old choir teacher Brandi Cook is still there teaching, and she is the most amazing teacher ever. She wants the kids to be successful and want to love music.You can just tell she loves music and wants to share it with everyone. 

Last night as I was watching the concert, a lot of memories came to my head from my senior year and my last concert. I wanted to bawl. but I hate crying. So I didn't. Until the last song, "In My Heart" (that she wrote) came along and that's when it all came out. I bawled through the whole song. It has a lot of meaning because I think she wrote it while I was a senior. I just wanted to go back to my senior year all over again. Whenever I go to a concert especially this one, it makes me want to go back to choir sooo bad. It was so great to be with people with the same love as you and loved to sing. 

Well anyways, enough of that spiel. Let's talk about my sister, Andrea, now. Oh my heck. She is so amazing. If any of you guys went to the concert, there was a dance number between the songs and I am very proud to say that was my sister. She is the best dancer ever. She makes it so easy to love to be related to her. :) haha everyone around me was so amazed at her talent and when she did the splits a guy beside me was like "woah" haha I wanted to say I know! She does that all the time! She's my sister! haha I just love her. :)  

"Ninja's" are evil!

So earlier this week, my thumb got in a fight with a "ninja"  (a type of blender) blade and the blade won. It was really sad. "Why the heck were you touching the blade Emily?" Well, that's a good question... 

Day 1: I was cleaning the kitchen and I was putting away the blender and then the blade was set up just like this picture... and one of the blades got my thumb and it was bleeding for like 2 hours and after the 2nd hour I called Daniel (he was at work) and I was like I think I might have to go to the hospital and get stitches, he just said, just drive here and I will take a look at it. So I drove to where he works and he looked at it, and he was just like, Okay I'll call my boss and ask if I can take an hour off work. So, we went to the hospital and all they said to do was buy some liquid bandaid stuff and it should be fine. So that's what we did! 

Yeah, that looks like it would hurt, right? Yeah, it did. 

Day 1: Sorry to everyone who doesn't like blood! I just wanted to share
what it looked like before we got it all bandaged up and stuff!

Right now it looks so much better than it did. I shouldn't have picked up the blade by the front side. haha I will know next time! :) 

Day 2: Looks all nasty right? Yeah, gross huh? 

Day 3: Looking so much better!

Day 4: A lot better.



Sorry again to people who don't like to see these things!! :)
