it's about time!

in 34.5 hours, my name will be Mrs. Emily Greer.

I'm the good kind of speechless. the kind where your heart is just bursting with happiness.

thanks.

Thank you, time. Thanks for going super fast, because I just don't think I can wait much longer.

Thank you, cute little basement apartment, for being in our budget.

Thank you, mom. Thanks for letting me live in your house, even when I'm a little brat.

Thank you, dad, for sharing your infinite wisdom with us.

Thank you, Jenni, for spending all of your free time planning and making our reception look good.

Thank you, Jillian Edwards, for writing this song (and all of your other songs), to keep me sane.

Thank you, Gabe. Thanks for being so patient with me, and thanks for loving me.

Thanks, life. You're too good to me.

post about nothing

I just suck at blogging. I'm pro at instagram (@emma_lee_nicole), but I suck at blogging.

I'm wearing men's deodorant because I'm too lazy and poor to go buy more.

I haven't been to Target in way too long, in fear that I'll spend what little money I have on worthless things. Instead, I spend my time on Target.com adding things to our wedding registry that we may or may not actually need.

I finally got some candles from Bath & Body Works. I can't wait to burn them in our cute little apartment.

I finally finished re-doing my bedroom... just in time for me to move out in 2 months, ha.

    

oh, and I'm getting married in 9 weeks. I am one lucky girl.

song for today:

Love Love Love

by

Avalanche City

This song is going to be in our wedding video.

over & out.

I went on a vacation.

okay, so I'm taking a little break from doing homework, because there's only so much you can do before your brain melts. 

I went to Outer Banks, North Carolina last week. Outer Banks is now my favorite place ever. it was just amazing. I wish I was still there. I went with my future family and stayed in a beach house in Corolla, NC. we went to the beach every single day. the beach was beautiful. we caught sand crabs. we got thrashed by waves. we swallowed disgusting salt water. we watched the sun rise and set. we went to the place where the Wright brothers flew the first airplane. we ate tons of BBQ. we watched the ocean glow (which was one of the coolest things I've seen in my life). we played so many games of five crowns. we ate junk food. we slept whenever we wanted. we didn't worry about stuff. we laughed a lot. 

I didn't do any homework. and it was worth it.

I wanna go back.

bye.

oh, p.s. I'm engaged and I'll post the whole story sometime soon :)

SURPRISE!

ummmm!!!! I'm engaged :)

so happy :)

bye :)

...

there are no words to describe how beautiful this song is. definitely in my top 3. love it.
everyone should listen to it. on repeat.

I'm going to North Carolina tomorrow. I'm excited. (kinda...) :) :) :)

bye.

things I am excited about.

I am excited for my new job.

I work at Bath & Body Works now.

it may turn into a situation where I basically get paid in lotion and candles.

because I really love good smells.

I am excited to go to North Carolina in 3 weeks for a family reunion.

I need more swimming suits because we are staying in a beach house in Outer Banks.

(picture every Nicholas Sparks movie ever made... that's where I'm going.)

I am excited for school to start because I'm taking fun classes.

astronomy, meteorology, interior design, social work, rock climbing. bam.

(I am not, however, excited about how flipping much tuition and books cost.)

I am excited for a special little piece of jewelry to wear... hopefully soon..

I am excited to go hang out with my love tonight :)

song for today:

I am Mine

by

Brooke Waggoner

p.s. this last weekend was filled with swimming, boating, cliff jumping, getting sunburned, laughing, magic, holding cute babies, and driving. it was fun times.

bye.

oh, hi!

oh... my blog? what? basically, I dropped off the face of the earth. oops.

I spend plenty of time on the computer, so it's not like I forgot to blog...

it's just that every time I thought about writing a blog, I was like, "...........nah".

and that's that.

I haven't even looked at my blog. I forgot what it even looks like.

I also haven't written in my journal in the same amount of time... I hate myself for that.

so.

since it's been like 8 years since my last post, 

let's fill you (and by 'you' I mean my mom and sisters and nearest, dearest friends) in.

I may or may not have quit 2 jobs in the past 3 months. let's just say that call centers are definitely NOT my favorite work environment.

I love my calling in the nursery. it's seriously the best, and I love it.

I'm not very good at remembering to water my plants. the cactus that I was waiting so patiently for is now dead :'(

went to Tucano's for the first time... it was delicious.

I can't even stay on this page because I'm getting bored of my own life. 

oh, I'm re-doing my room. I should post pictures of some before and afters.

complete transformation. and it's looking good.

I'm so upset that the Olympics changed the gymnastics all-around rules. 

Jordan Wieber should have been competing tonight. jerks.

funemployment is nice, but money is seriously stressing me out.

UVU is big.

UVU parking is a joke.

I'm excited for school.

I'm in love with this guy, and I couldn't be happier :)

maybe I'll actually post on this blog more often....

song for today

Ours

Taylor Swift

"it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong, and

your hands are tough but they are where mine belong"

over and out.

life lessons on Sunday

the past few months...

              I've learned that I literally cannot stay away from Target.

I've learned that if you paint a thin layer of glitter nail polish before you paint your color, it stays on 3 times as long. trust me, it works.

I've learned that when you can't stand to face another day at work, it's okay to quit because it's just not for everybody, and your life won't actually end.

I've learned how to ace an interview.

I've learned that Emily, the bachelorette is really stupid and boring.

I've learned that cactuses take a really long time to grow.

I've learned never to go out into the wilderness alone.

I've learned that my stomach has probably doubled in size since I moved home.

I've learned that every time I go to Cafe Zupa's, I will always get the same thing: turkey, bacon, avocado, no tomato, ranch instead of honey mustard, and the wisconsin cauliflower soup.

I've learned that if you don't like it, change it. and if you like it, don't change it.

I've learned that I would really hate working at the mall.

I've learned that saying goodbye to someone never gets less sad, even when you've done it many times before.

I've learned that nursery is the best calling ever.

I've learned that I can't wait to have some little kiddies of my own.

I've learned that I wish I was still a gymnast.

I've learned that my life is so much better when I'm around people that I know. 

I've learned that I will always want to live in Utah. 

I've learned that my life is pretty great.

I think I legitimately forgot about my blog for the past several days.

whoops.

right now, I'm in the library, "studying".

hmmmmm. 5 more days of classes... 5 more days of work (YESSSS)...

28 hours until I am home for the weekend (again)... :)

aaaand 15 days until I leave Cedar City forever and ever and ever. yaay!

I'm getting restless.

my grades are good, so I have absolutely no desire to study for finals.

which is bad news.

but I will nonetheless, because I am a good student.

ahem.

3  going to concerts again, finally.

4  being in Orem, which I love.

6  bike riding.

7  decorating my room.

8  picnics.

9  no homework.

10  TARGET <3 <3 <3

11  having time to paint again.

because this really needs to get finished.

things I am not looking forward to this summer:

1  working full-time.

2  living in a cold, dark, spider-infested basement.

3  doing chores.

4  sweating.

I can't wait :)

bye.

it seems that spring has finally sprung.

of course, we all know that it's bound to snow 

at lease once more before summer.

maybe more.

oh, happy easter. I haven't blogged in a while 

on account of: I'm lazy.

also, my life isn't that cool.

but nonetheless, here are some pictures:

Comedy Sportz yet again.
this place never gets old.
if you haven't been, GO. that's an order.
once you do, you will never stop.

Happy Easter on some swings.

"we're dating!
we're engaged.

we're fighting.
we're going to therapy.
we're trying to stay together for the children!!!

but now we are happy again!
we're in love again!!
we're married!!!!!"
:)
haha.

sun. 

oh, and I am adorable.

please bless that my family can 

come down and visit me this week.

okay, bye.

p.s. isn't it universally known 

that if someone has headphones in, 

they probably can't hear you 

and/or don't want to talk?
