BIG NEWS

Well guess who finally got accepted into college? ME!

Brigham Young University-Idaho.

It is my first acceptance so I am over the top excited!

Also, it is my 2nd choice if I do not get into BYU.

Yay for me! I found out Thursday in the Mcdonalds' parking lot.

Is that classy or what? Something I will always remember.

I got home later that day and Mum had bought me a Hallmark Card!

She had the boys sign it and everything! She was so excited for me :)

Sorry for the terrible webcam quality. Also for the zits. But check out my happy smile!

I instantly felt relieved that moment I found out.

It was no secret that I had been feeling anxious and lousy while the rest of my friends were getting into schools. Now I am happy and I love it!

I'm still nervous about BYU but I know whatever happens, happens for a reason.

The Lord has got a plan for me, and I cannot wait to see what happens!

Today is Sunday, and I am feeling overwhelmingly grateful for my church.

Everyone there is so real. I feel more love there than any place on earth.

Except for home of course. But even so, there is nothing like the love you feel at church.

Sundays are my favorite day. They recharge me to take on the week ahead.

My friends there, inspire me and help me feel confident about myself.

Many of my friendships have been kind of shaky recently, but going to church and being around all these other kids who get it, and know what I'm going through is such a great blessing.

I feel so comfortable with them, and I wish that I could spend more time with them.

Ecspecially my best friend, who lives far away right now. I hate to sound so needy, but I really do need her sometimes, to tell me I am doing the right thing.

Man, I hope she calls me soon. I need to vent.

Anyways, I'm feeling good today. I just got home from church.

I am listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and I just had a slice of pudding pie.

Could life get any better?



Dear Lord Baby Jesus

One of the funniest movies, I swear. Is it disturbing that my family will quote this at the dinner table?

Probably not the best movie choice for a Sunday night, but it seems to keep coming up in conversation. I just had to watch it!

Lots of things have been happening in my life lately, but I can't find my camera cord! So hopefully I can upload some pictures soon!! I have a 4 day weekend, so I am hoping to get some things done. Particularly personal progress and a little surprise for my best friend. Yay!!!

There's my little update. Once I get the chance I will write something that doesn't suck. xoxo Emma

Speaking of starting the new year off right, I have started the dieting proccess! Huzzah for me!

Of course, I am not entirely commited as of yet (I may have had a few Hershey's Kisses today)

but I am still off to a good start.

Breakfast: 1 sliced green apple w/ sunflower seed butter (like peanut butter)

Morning Snack: Carrots

Lunch: Tuna w/ Miracle Whip & a slice of Mom's homemade bread with butter.

Dinner: Eggs & Cheese

I'm doing okay! I definitely want to do a smidge better, but it's only the second day. Give me a break!

Okay enough about my eating habits. Here's some music I've been digging lately!

2012

Happy New Year!

This is such a big year for me. I'm graduating!

2012, I'm so ready for you! I'm glad you're finally here!

Okay, so in November I heard about this huge New Years' dance and got REALLY excited. I've honestly been looking forward to it for a month. But you know what happens when you get your hopes up. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday. I felt sickypoo and lame all day. I had a tummyache & a headache. The day dragged on, and I mean draaaaged. I tried on my dress and wanted to die. All I could think was time for some serious dieting, pronto. Then some other stuff happened at the dance and basically it was breakdown central. I'm usually okay at containing the tears, but for some reason I was just exploding on everyone of my poor friends. I think it was a combination of a lot of things. Now that it is the day after, I just feel extremely embarrassed. Oh, and ready to start that diet. Which is happening this week by the way. BUT despite all of that, the dance had it's moments. I got to twirl around like a princess in my dress, see some friends that I love oh so much, & look forward to the future. Because the future is always brighter.

 And LOOK, the future is here! Things are finally starting, and I should be finding out from schools whether I'm in or not verrrry soon! Also, I started making my resolution list. Here it is,

1. Get into college

2. Get thinner

3. Start on that book

4. Finish Personal Progress

5. Arise and shine forth

What's that last one, you ask? For the youth in my church we have a annual theme, and 2012's is:

"Arise and shine forth, that thy light might be a standard to all nations."(Doctrine & Covenants 115:5)

We talked about it today in class, and it really touched me. Lately I've been feeling sort of lonely. Okay not just lately, I usually do. But ecspecially now that I am getting older and all my friends are changing. At times I feel like a priss or that I am not good enough. But, I am making a New Year's resolution to brush that off my shoulders, get up, and show the world who I truly am. I know that I have the potential to do great things, but I am my own worst enemy. I need to love myself, so others can do the same. You can tell how emotional I am right now can't cha?

Alright 2012, you're here. Please treat me well.Let's get going on those resolutions.

xoxo Emma
