Ten Things I Know You Don't Need {want?} to Know.

{yes, this I've posted this picture a thousand times but FB dislikes me and won't allow me to steal another one so... I'm stuck with this one. Plus, it's adorable.}

Here, learn ten things about me.... GO!

1. What did you do ten years ago?

I was definitely in Ms. Pesek's second grade class with that girl above, Morgan. We probably were busy with about eight million hours of dance as Jeanne's Power Force Dancers and our soccer team, the purple dolphins. Along with spending all the other hours of the day at the home of the third essential to our trio, Jessika Bodrero. And I may have been taking piano lessons from piano Paul... But that's a different story.

2. What were you doing one year ago?

Went back and read my journal... and a year ago, I had just broken up with Ryan. Don't know how to follow that one up so it'll stand as is. haha

3. Five snacks you love...

Chocolate Chip Cookies, Apples, M&Ms, Oh's, and...... Slushes. Yup.

4. Five Songs you know all the words to....

This is embarrassing. Belle (opening song to Beauty and the Beast), A Whole New World, Just Haven't Met You Yet (slash all MB songs...), When Will My Life Begin (from Tangled) and Can't Wait to See You Again (yes, by Miley Cyrus). Moving on....

5. Five Things you would do with a Million Bucks.

Open my bakery (em's) in Northern California. Travel across Europe with my best friend. Fly everyone to Scotland for my reception. Have a dream Kitchen. Hire people to clean my toilets and tubs and baseboards and fans for he rest of my life ( I was only going to say toilets and tubs but the list of chores I dislike kept growing...)

6. Five Bad Habits....

Blogging instead of Homework. Reading too much too late. Watching Starting movies at one a.m. Excessive hand movements while speaking. Being Ignorant of the ways of the world (aka talent show moments)

7. Five Things You Like to do...

Be a Beach Bum. Ride my Bike. Read. Write Poetry. Spend hours with my family and friends.

8. Five Things You Would Never Dress in or Buy...

Jeggings. Cow Print. Snake Pants. Heels higher than 3 inches. Wonder Woman Get-up.

9. Five Favorite Toys.

My books (Does that even count?). My laptop. My piano. My brother's mustang. Roxanne (my truck).

10. Five people you tag... No pressure.

Haylee, Morgan, Alisha, Lauren, and Karli.

Love always,

Ems

p.s no editing went into this so... sorry. 

14 Days of Love: Day 10

Today, I love

Morgan Ray Davis.

It is her 18th birthday today. (I've decided February is the most popular birthing month- awkward sentence much? I think so...) Anyway, she is definitely the my best friend in every sense of the word and she she gets an awesome post.

Here are the top ten Reasons why I love Morgan:
1. Morgan doesn't mind that I'm possibly the most awkward person in the history of awkward land. No, I'm serious here. I really am the awkwardest person: like the whole refriderator shannanigin... it was bad. Anyway...
2. Morgan like to go shopping with me. Last Chance or Hobby Lobby, it doesn't matter. We just like to shop Emma and Morgan style: too long in one store equals unhappy Morgan and Emma.
3. Morgan sleeps over with me on the weekdays- it's awesome.
4. Morgan is seriously funny. I pretty much pee my pants every time I'm with her because she's so dang funny. I love it.
5. Morgan and I love California equally. We would jump in a car and drive there in an instant if we could. I'm not even kidding.
6. Morgan lets me borrow cloths. Our closets are semi-interchangable. Only semi because we don't live in the same place... that'll change next year.
7. Morgan has always been there for me. Even though we hit some SUPER rough patches in our friendship, we were able to become best friends instantly once we started hanging out again.
8. Morgan is super smart. Like really, she's always been smart (she could read before me- yes, I remember) and she hasn't stopped loving school and learning and it taking AP CALC! That deserves mega respect in my book.
9. Morgan is pretty much the sister that I never had, and we both belong to each other's families- we can interchange which parents we want. It's nbd.
10. Morgan is the most caring and loving person I know. She has listened to al my rants and "But I like Him!"s and everything in between. I know that I can always count on her to be there for me- even after a few years apart.

I'm so incredibly grateful for Morgan in my life. A girl could not ask for a better best friend and I cannot wait for all the crazy experiences we are going to have up at BYU. It's going to be so incredibly fun and wonderful.

I love you, Morgan!

Love Always,
Ems

14 Days of Love: Day 6

Today, I love....
 

Becca Udall.

Today is her birthday- the big One-Eight. As I was sitting in church, I was thinking about how much I absolutely adore her. Really, I do. And the funny thing is, we used to not even be friends. When she first moved into my ward in third grade she was a brat- just ask her and she'll agree- but over the years we've become super close and I'm so grateful for her in my life.

So, without further explanation, here are the top ten reasons why I love Becca:

1. Becca is a free spirit: she loves to go on adventures without any objective behind them and no matter what, you know it will be a good time.
2. Becca shares my passion for world travel: The last two pictures are from our trip to Greece in 2009 and it was probably one of the most memorable trips ever. I hope we get to enjoy Germany and Austria this summer.
3. The amount of compassion she posses is amazing. She loves everyone and wants them to be happy no matter what her own circumstances may be.
4. Art is a very natural talent for Becca. She is so creative and has such a passion for the beauty of art.
5. Becca puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She is a sports medicine trainer at our high school and puts in so many hours at school helping out the athletes because she puts everything she has into being the best trainer she can possibly be.
6. Becca is intelligent. She doesn't play up the dumb girl act: She knows what she's talking about and isn't going to be pushed around by men who think they know more than her.
7. Becca is independent. She can stand on her own no matter the circumstance. She will always defend her beliefs which is a trait I greatly admire in her.
8.  Becca is a book-o-holic. In fact, funny story: One time we were sitting at mutual talking with all the girls and somebody brought up Pretty Little Liars. All the girls got in a huge fit and started chattering away and I turn to Becca (because we're the only girls in our ward who don't watch it) and she has about the same look I'm wearing: "Really?" We  both laugh and then Becca asks, "Well, have you read any good books recently?" And we talked about all the books we were reading. We're such nerds in that way.
9. Gorgeous. One way to describe her. But she's not vain about it, so no worries.
10. I know I will always be able to count on Becca as a friend. She will be there for me no matter what and I hope that I can return half the friendship she has given to me.

And that is why I love Becca.

Love Always,
Ems

Oh my, A day Late!

I realized a terrible thing just now....

Yesterday was Zachary Xavier Velarde's birthday and

I didn't dedicate a post to him!


Fail much? I think so! So instead of a top 10, he gets a top 18 for three reasons. He turned 18 yesterday and he is number 18 on the soccer team and I missed yesterday so the extra 8 makes up for my utter failure.

Without Further Ado...

The top 18 reasons I like Mr. Zachary Xavier Velarde

1. Let's put the obvious aside, he's stink cute! Look at that picture! {or maybe I just make him look real good... But I'd beg to differ.}

2. Zac will drive my truck for me- always. I hate driving slash am pretty darn terrible at driving so I let him drive my truck whenever he is with me. He definitely drives it off campus everyday- nbd- he can pull of the pink-adorned keys without a problem!

3. I get to pick the golden spoon flavors- always. This is very important even though I pretend I wish he would have some say in it. All he says is, "no cake batter" which is a tad sad because I do love cake batter but, I can compromise.

4. Zac is devoted. This boy goes to church every week for 3 hours on his own! I definitely admire that about him because had I not been raised how I was, I don't think I would be going to church for any amount of hours by myself.

5. You've gotta hear his laugh- it's probably one of the funniest laughs I've ever heard. And he laughs so much! Which is good! Happiness is something I like.... obviously.

6. Zac doesn't quit... especially at cards. Which is most definitely a good thing because we all know I'm the queen o' the card deck...

7. He allows me to live in my own little emmaworld which is good because most people don't {rude}. My world is perfect, afterall, and everyone should live in it. Anybody want to move to emmaland? Our houses are beautiful!

8. Hugs=Zac's best talent. An awesome hug can change your day, don't you agree?

9. Although he doesn't really love playing keeper, he has been playing there all season and has been doing a marvelous job! He is also the one of the captains of the soccer team and I'm sure is amazing at that! {I don't necessarily know since I happen to not be a part of the soccer team...}

10. Zac treats his friends like they are his family. He cares so much about each one of his friends and is always making sure they are ok.

11. Listening is his secret ability. He is probably one of the best listeners I know. Which is very important because I talk... a lot.

12. He loves his mother. It's super sweet and precious.

13. Zac was the first person I saw when I got the news that my grandpa had passed away and he seriously saved me that day. I'll always be grateful that he happened to be walking to his mother's classroom at the same exact moment I was.

14.  Zac will watch chick-flicks. A necessary trait for a boy to be considered awesome.

15. Zac thinks everything I do is cool. Which isn't very hard since everything I do is cool... but I'm pretty sure he's the only one who tells me... even if he's lying.

16. Zac is half-mexican. 'Nuff said, bro.

17. His sense of humor... it's a tad odd at times but anyone who knows him would agree that despite the oddities of it, it's probably one of the best senses of humor around!

18. Zac slow danced with me in an empty street- twice. Yup. He's that amazing.

Well, Zachary, you are a most fabulous person and I have been so blessed to know you! I am so very happy you had such a great birthday and hope that you continue to have many others. :)

Love Always,
Ems

BIRTHDAY! {plus funny story, plus random, of course.}

NAMOI!!!!!

{aka as Naomi}

It was this amazing girl's birthday on Tuesday. So in honor of her, I have a top ten list of reasons why I love Naomi. {but believe me, there are way more than ten reasons why I love her to pieces!}

#1. She is an absolutely AMAZING friend. I know it seems like I say this with everyone but this is 250% true! 

#2. We have PARALLEL lives! Not even kidding. When it comes to boys, when it comes to personalities, when  it comes to things we love to do, it's all EXACTLY the same!

#3. Her laugh. Kills me. Especially when she snorts... ha! Favorite. :)
#4. She's gorgeous! Did you scrutinize that picture up top? Um ya.... Hi amazing pretty lady filled with gallons of beauty!

#5. She's crafty beyond anyone I know and I'm so envious of her mad skill in all things pertaining arts/crafts.

#6. She likes to take pictures, and she's super great at it!  And she can edit her pictures like it's nobody's business. Fabulous? I think so.

#7. She has the fashion touch and taste that I most definitely lack. She can make things you never thought would look cute, look magnificent! Jealous of that too.

#8. Our inside jokes are the best thing on the planet.... haha. So many, so many. {magic pencil, string, fan clubs, Brad.... hehe} 

#9. She will probably be famous one day for singing, cause she's super fly at singing! 

#10. We always hug, and it's the best thing ever. :) And the best thing is to see Mr. Schreiber's face when we hug each other in Choral cause it's a bit smug and totally says, "I love how you meet your best friends in choir". It's makes me laugh. And then we walk through the orchestra room and get the most confused face from good 'ole T-dawg cause we're singing Lion King at the top of our lungs. HA! PRICELESS.

Pretty mush, I adore her to the ends of the earth. And if I was super cliche I would say she's me bffaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaea. Oh wait, I just did... Oh well, it's the truth! :) Love her to death! 

 {love this girl!}

So now you want the funny story, right?

right. :)

Scene: MVT parking lot right after school, back row where Emma/Naomi/Josh always park. Naomi and Josh have just reached Josh's car and Emma is waiting the girls she is taking home. Ready, set, ACTION.

Naomi: I LOVE YOU EMMA!!!!! {she screams as josh backs out just a little as she's trying to get in the car}

Emma: I LOVE YOU TOO!!!! {flash the I love you sign. Naomi is sitting in the car with the door open, window down, leg on the window}

 Emma: Can I hitch a ride Josh?

Josh: Sure! 

Emma: I think I'll just grab on the outside, ride all the way home, maybe run into that truck...

Josh: Hop in the back of the truck! 

Emma: Oh ya! Ready, set, DIE! {motions fake jump into truck} You're really just trying to kill me Josh, thanks.
Josh: Ya, that's my evil design.

{Emma sticks her head into the car to see who is in the awesomness carpool}

Emma: Dude! fun carpool! 

Naomi: Ya, we're the bomb.

Emma: Maybe I should go wait for mine... I'm giving Cali and Jordy rides home but I don't...know....were...they...are.... {scanning parkinglot} Ok, I think I'll jump off.

Josh: Ok! { as he keeps going}

Emma: Or I'll just jump off while you're moving... bye!

{Emma jumps off and completely falls to thr ground, sufficiently scrapping her elbow, and shoulder, but no holes in the cloths!} 

Josh: ARE YOU OK?! OH MY GOSH I FEEL TERRIBLE!

Naomi: laughter. 

Emma  through laughter/embarrassment and still lying on the ground: hahahaha. Ya! Wow, I'm cool! Ok, I'm going before I make more of a fool of myself! Bye!

End of scene.

Yup, that's what went down in the parking lot. I knew Josh was trying to kill me! ;) Needless to say, it was very funny and rather embarrassing considering that pretty much the entire population of Mountain View saw it. Oh well, It's nbd. :)  Pretty much, I rock at life. and I'm not joking. :)

And here is the randomness, I love the rain! 

And I'm kinda in love with my David Archuleta/Taylor Swift/Michael Buble/Wicked/Into the Woods playlist I have going right now. Random much? Totally. 

And I MEGA LOVE birthday baptisims for the dead as a new Naomi and Emma tradition. The.Best.Thing.Ever.

 I am content.

That is all. 

Have a wonderful day!

Love Always,

Ems

  

SPENCER SMITH!!!!

Tomorrow is my dear friend's birthday! His name is Spencer Smith, and he is the bomb-legit. No joke. So, in honor of him, we have a happy birthday top ten!!! :)

#1. Spencer is the most genuine boy on this planet! He is so wonderful and kind and will listen to your problems {or your random talk} no matter what!

#2. He has one of the top ten best senses of humor! No joke, this kid can crack a joke like a chick can crack an egg! 

#3. He kinda stinks at Super Smash Brothers but will never admit that. I admire that. :)

#4. Say hello to the next Steve Jobs, no joke. This kid scares me whenever he comes in contact with a computer... like how he can make my computer search for something different then what I typed when he's sitting at a different computer! He did it. He's crazy. It's the awesomest mad-skill I've ever seen!

#5. His hair. Now how can you NOT love that long hair? It kinda reminds me of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo and I love Scooby-Doo.

#6. He's a chemistry genius. Um... hi, may I have a piece of your brain, please?

#7. Spencer is always willing to do things for me in seminary! He probably gets assigned to the prayer or leading at least once a week! That's what you get for being frineds with the class president! 

#8. Spencer has the best facial expressions! In fact, it's pretty hard to pay any attention to Mr. Mellyn on a Saturday morning while Spencer is eating Lucky Charms seductively next to you.... you get the point, i hope.

#9. Spencer likes my cupcakes and cookies. This always makes a person 120% more loved and appreciated by the world. :)

#10. Spencer is FAMOUS!!!!! Have you seen How to Train Your Dragon??? Ya, Hiccup is Spencer to a T. Not even kidding. So if you've seen that, you know how wicked-awesome-amazing-fantabulous Spencer is! They even look alike!!!! I'll prove my point.. compare the picture {below} to the picture {above}

Do you see it?! Ya, he's Hiccup, and he's AWESOME!

So that's Spencer. Pretty much, if you want me to hook you up with him, I'd be more than happy to! That is... if you're cute, and nice, and fun, and etc. Cause Spencer deserves the very best! :)If you don't know this kid, and you should happen to bump into him, you should spin around and jump up and say, "Holy Shannagins! It's the all-awesome and amazing SPENCER SMITH!" Even if you do know him, if you see him, you should spin, jump and say that. Just for fun. :) Make sure you wish him a happy birthday as well! And have a wonderful day! :)

Love Always,

ems

Newest Top Ten!

Here are my top ten things currently:

#1 Just Dance

 

Seriously, if you have not played this, you've probably heard about it and how AMAZING it is! Like seriously, best wii game EVER. And whoever got to makeup all the dances had the most fun job on the face of this Earth!

#2 Power Yoga Total Body Workout

Hi, I have a secret obsession with you. No joke. It makes me so zen-esque and I love it like a little kid likes the tooth fairy! It's actually pretty hard, but so worth it! And an amazing workout! Perfect for making up a missed gym day or when you're really angry and want to punch something! Either one! :)

#3 A Bend In The Road by Nicholas Sparks

Started this book last night, am on page twenty, and already, I am obsessed. Yes, I have problems.

#4 Sonny with A Chance!!!!!

Wow, New favorite tv show, much? It's amazing. Go watch it.

#5 My Hammock

 My favorite place at my house!!! Especially made better when there is someone to cuddle with. :)

#6 The Last Song

Don't care what others said, I LOVED this movie to the extreme! Seriously, that boy is amazing and I actually love Miley Cyrus tons. Don't judge. I also like Hillary Duff. But that's beside the point. Anyway, I really want to see it again like ASAP.  And, I bawled the entire second half of the movie. And walked out of the theater crying. I call that a good movie. Oh, and I want to see Dear John again.... sigh. Oh romantic movies, you are my favorite. Where did this Nicholas Sparks man come from and why is he not my husband?

#7 Dixie Chicks

Currently, I'm in love with their music. Take that back, I've loved their music forever but have rediscovered them. Don't you love when that happens?

#8 A Great and Terrible Beauty

All I can say is READ THIS BOOK. It's sooo good and I need to go get the rest of the series ASAP cause I'm kinda-sorta-really dying. 

#9 Miley Cyrus

Yes, I realize I already said I like her, but she gets her own spot. I think the world gives her too much crap. Get your own life, paparazzi, rather than ruin others-geesh. Plus, I'm in love with her new song from The Last Song called When I Look at You. Um... hi, I like your alto voice and the words to this song and in general, I think you're a dandy girl. That is all.

#10 (which is really my favorite) 

GROOVESHARK.COM

 Bet you thought Pandora was the best thing to happen to music. Well guess what, you're WRONG! Grooveshark is the best thing ever! Like no joke, I've probably been listening to my grooveshark constantly for the last... of I dunno, two weeks. It's amazing. If you're a music nerd like me, go, listen, be in love. 

That is all. :) Hope you enjoy some of the same things as I do. :)

Love Always,

Ems

3. Ryan has an amazing strength about him. He stands strong about what he believe in and will not lower his standards for anything or anyone. 

4. Ryan has a very positive attitude about life and has shown me what a true positive attitude is about.

Saturday:

A wonderful day spent with the family in downtown Phoenix at the Art Museum and then a yummy linner at Housten's. Followed by a fun night at escapade to the Scottsdale Super Six and Tempe Marketplace with Ryan, Naomi, Josh, Chris, Eric, and Aaron. However, we did not catch a movie at either of the places and instead drove back to Mesa to play Quelf at Naomi's. Ryan and I left a bit early for some great times watching the stars at our park. :) A great way to head into Valentines Day. :)

Sunday:

CHURCH! Oh how I love you. And Valentines. Maxwell is going to bring Cali, Melia and I our Valentine's cake. :) hehe. We're all each other's valentines. nbd. :)

it's a beautiful day! Go and enjoy it and tell somebody you love them! :)

Love Always,

Ems

Nicest thing Ever!

So, this week has been the official 'Be Nice to Emma Week' or something... It's weird, but great! :) So it all started on Tuesday. Tuesday I receive a call at lunch from Scott telling me to come to the Chemistry room. Odd. So I make my way to the room and I'm greeted by Zac! He had made me a card and tamales and pretty much it was the sweetest thing ever! Here is a picture of his card to share the happiness....

Then, today, I was sitting in my seminary class and my seminary partner, Kenzy, looks and me and says, "You are so pretty." Just like totally out of no where and it made my day! I was so touched! She couldn't have said a nicer thing to me! :)

So, in honor of Kenzy and Zac being so kind to me, I'm going to gloat a little and tell you why I have the best life! :) It's my blog, so I can. :)

#1.I am happy with myself, today. :) Every day it varies but that's the nature of girls, right? Anyways, I wore my boots today and they make me feel powerful so they got their picture taken. Also, I have this picture from last winter formal that honestly, isn't the best pic of me, but I love it, and so I'm sharing it. :) Plus a pic I took today in honor of being called pretty. :)

 

#2. I am a Toro. Ya, Mountain View is the best school ever. Don't even try, to say we're not, you will lose.  :)

#3. My seven best girlfriends {yes, there are only 6 in the picture, Jordynn is the seventh.} They are GORGEOUS. and we're all best friends, and I love it to death! Plus, we're all leaving to Utah tomorrow morning to go skiing and we're taking 'our boys' with us. Don't worry, there are no romances between the girls and the boys, we're all just friends. :) And we have chaperons going too. :)

 

#4. Ryan! So can I just say he's been an amazing friend and more?! :) He's one of those boys that you find and you know that even if your 'thing' doesn't last it'll still be a-ok because you can be best friends! Yup, that's Ry. He's great and super super sweet to me, which makes it even better! Plus, he does crazy things for me. Like pose with arrows in the street. :) 

#5. I got to to go to Greece with two of my very best friends this summer. :)

#6 Morgan Davis. She has been one of my very best friend for eons and eons. I love her to death because she is just genuinely herself and amazing and sweet and wonderful. :) I love her to death. :)

{p.s. I know I just posted this pic-get over it.}

#8. Zack 'freakin' Jarvis. So, he has a HUGE ego. And he's soooo annoying at times. Like really, I sometime want to shot him. But that's because he's like a brother to me. Trust me, his sister and I bother him sooo much. Anyways, he's a great friend. He lets me slap him and kick him in the shin when I'm really mad and frustrated and he listens to my whining and to my happiness, yup, he's a good friend! Just annoying-sometimes. {oh, he also doesn't care when I call him annoying/dork/jerk/gay}

#9. The fact that I can hang out with my friends without any make-up on and wearing soffees and a tshirt. It's the best. Plus, our boys could care less if all us girls did that every day. Aren't they sweet? Our boys are the awesomest. :)

#10. Last, but certainly not least, the fact that I am happy. So so happy. :) And this picture just embodies happiness to me. :) Plus, I love the girl in it. :)

Yup, that's life at the moment. I love it so much. Nothing can beat it. :) Well, I'm off to Utah! I'll be back to blogging on Monday probably! :) Have an amazing three day weekend!

Love Always,
Ems
