My Last Year as a Teenager.

Today, I am 19.
This means this is my last year as a teenager.

And do you want to know how my last year as a teenager started?
By receiving a pillow pet from my three girlies.

I'm pretty sure a 19 year-old girl shouldn't be this happy
about a pillow pet....
But with a name like Pierre, how can you resist?

It's going to be a good birthday.

I love life!

Love always,
Ems

We're Just Two Really Happy Girls

That's what Becca said to me last night as I told her how happy I was and she expressed that same amount of  happiness to me. College life is treating us so well.

Lately, I've been studying with this boy.

Obviously we purely focus on studying....
His name is Tyler.
He's from Oregon and he's an amaizing classical guitarist.
He's won competitions in his state- he's that good.
Plus, he can play anything else but especially enjoys playing and singing John Mayer.
Which is good, cause I like John Mayer and so does Becca and he'll just come play for us sometimes.
And who doesn't like that?

Well, Lindsey's birthday was last week, so we celebrated this weekend.
We kidnapped her....

(It seems to be tradition with us)
And took her to Provo's nonalcoholic bar, Spark.
We loved it...
I would say too much but I don't really think that is possible...
The Drinks:
Lindsey: Margarita which was spilt in .03 seconds because she wanted the sugar off the rim (hence the wet patched on he pants in the below pictures)
Alex: Something that we all swear really had alcohol in it.
Caroline and Becca: Something Limey.... Can't remember.
I got a Shirley Temple with Cotton Candy in it. it was delectable.

Alex was spilling right as this picture was being taken...

Moral of the story: With all the spilage going on... We should never consume real alcoholic beverages because I think we would all end up covered in some kind of drink.... 

Lindsey really enjoyed the night....

So much goodness.
Especially the fact that the waiter put his number on the top of Becca's check.
True story.

Don't mind Alex and Lindsey in the back.

Seriously college has been so great.
And we love to party.

This weekend we're planning a game night on Friday (for any wardies reading, you're invited. Talk to me or Becca or someone and we'll give you the details.)
The BYU v. UofU football game- SO EXCITED.
And maybe some homework...
Ya know, if we feel like it.

Speaking of, I'm going to go study French.
I kept spelling actors acteurs today....
At least I know parts of the French are sinking in.

Becca's not here.. Or I would give you her words of advice....


Life is the Best.

Love always,
Ems

Summer, Part 2.

Recently, summer has been treating me well. 

I have one more day of nannying left and I am so excited.
And, two weeks from today, I will officially be living here....

With that girl, Becca Udall.
Am I excited? Oh heck to the yes.
In other great news, the two other lovely ladies in the picture below will be in our ward!

May I explain the greatness of this picture to you guys?
1. It's on the escalator to the show rooms of Ikea. (EXCITEMENT!)
2.  Alex's face. Her squishy face is how she attracts all the boys.
3. Lindsey glaring at Becca. That spritzer girl.
4. Becca just looks great and so it makes the picture wonderful.

Here are some exciting things that happened these past few weeks.
Alex and Lindsey got bedding at Ikea. Success!

We mad delicious oreo brownies at Alex's house. They were pretty much heaven sent.

I made cinnamon rolls and my mom discovered Instagram.

We had a wonderful Girl's trip to the JW Marriott Desert Ridge last weekend.

We pretty much spent all our time watching movies in the King-sized Bed all cuddled up in our wet swimsuits. This picture of Linds and Bexs is just too great for description.

We ate an entire Pazookie platter at BJ's in under five minutes.

We swam in the 4 acres of pool that they offered us.
And we had the most successful Last Chance trip ever.

However, to my disappointment, we did not find cute boys to spend time with at the resort.
But still, it was a grand trip! And everyone assumed we were college students which was new...
I guess we really are moving up in life!
Hoorah for college life!

BYU here I come!

Love always,
Ems

14 Days of Love: Day 2

Today, I love

Sara Bareilles.

I put her cd in the other day, as in yesterday, and it's made me happy whenever I drive somewhere. Especially since it brings back wonderful memories of her concert  {Why yes, I did in fact take the above picture.} All the girls {minus becca :(} went to her concert in Tempe at the beginning of the year and we had a seriously good time.

I love how talented Sara is and how true her songs are. Excuse the oddness of this comment, but her songs are pretty much raw emotion. And they're fabulous to sing to at the top of your lungs. I also love that my little brother likes her: I love when he and I like the same music, it's like a secret bond we share that nobody else can share.

Anyways,

Today, I love Sara Bareilles.

Love Always,
Ems

p.s. what is up with the freezingness that is currently Arizona? Somebody save me: I was wearing shorts on Saturday and now I can't walk outside without dying.
