Thankful - Day 7

Happy Hump Day friends & family!!!

Today I am thankful for my health.  I thank God everyday for it.  I know it could be gone in a snap of a finger. 

I pray for all who are fighting horrible cancer & illnesses every.single.day!

As I finished working today I looked out my window & saw the beautiful sun beaming down on my gorgeous tree in the front yard & I know so many stare out of a hospital window or nursing home windows.  I don't take my life for granted.

I could eat better.  Work out more.  Drink less.  Diet better. Lose weight. But who's perfect?!?!? ha Not me :)


Have a fabulous Wednesday night. 

LOVE,
Emily

Thankful - Day 6

Election Day 2012 - 11/6/12

Today I am thankful for............my right to vote.  I was VERY proud today after I voted.  I am so thankful for this right.  God bless the USA!

As I was driving home from voting I had the radio turned up, my windows down & just smiled from ear to ear. 

See.......I had to take a picture of myself right when I got home of how proud I was :) 

*I hate self portraits by the way - but today was an exception*

Love,

Emily





Thankful - Day 5

Today I am thankful for......my job!  Yes Mondays normally are NO fun.  I mean no fun as in really busy from the time I clock in to the time I clock out & some people make me angry! haha I really do like my job.  Some days more than others :)  But I am so thankful for the opportunity.  I am very very very grateful for liking what I do. 

I am just thankful that I can "complain" about Mondays.  :) 

I am loving this November Thankful "game."  I might just keep going wayyyyy pass November!

Go vote tomorrow!!!!

Love,
Emily

Thankful - Day 3 & 4

O I am on a roll now! ha

I have to combine Day 3 & 4 since yesterday I was busy. (aka Tailgating & cheering on the Hogs)

Day 3 - I am SO thankful for our "Arkansas Friends"  Moving is never easy, but when you move & meet awesome people - that makes your move much easier.  We are so thankful to have met so many great friends down here in Arkansas :)  THANK YOU friends for being so fun, fabulous & there for us :)

This was our crazy crew yesterday at the Razorback football game.  *not all of our "Arkansas friends" are in this picture I might add* So many more are fabulous, fun & there for us :)

We had so much fun on a PERFECT Fall day!  The added bonus - Melina & Matthew got to join in on our craziness!

Day 4 - Thankful for Cabela's.  My husband's only kind of shopping.

Really where else can you find women sitting in chairs on their iPhones while their husbands/man are shopping for hours.  Today Ryan and I went to Cabela's after eating lunch with some of that crazy crew in the picture above.  I walked to my normal spot (women's clothing) to see if they have the NorthFace coat I want for Christmas - and again they don't!  So then from there I WONDER to the kids section to see what I can buy for my nephews & niece (YES every time I am out shopping I somehow shop for them MORE than me) o well part of being a fabulous Aunt :) hahah Then when I don't find anything there I WONDER around trying to find Ryan - when that doesn't happen I WONDER around to the front of the store where there are CHAIRS & then when those are taken I WONDER around the toys section (again to see what I can buy my niece & nephews) - THEN I found a food sample table - and NOT even being hungry since I just ate lunch I try a few samples - STILL no sign of Ryan - so I WONDER back to the front to see if maybe a lady was lucky & her husband was finished shopping has gotten up, still ALL taken - so I text Ryan - no answer.  Call Ryan - no answer.  Still WONDERING around to see what possibly I could buy.  (NOTHING).  FINALLY I spot Ryan - he says "I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOREVER"  Ummmmm please.  Yea right!!!  Then why didn't he CALL or TEXT ME.?!?!?! We proceed to check out & while I thought he would have bought the whole store (since he was missing from me for a LONG time) we pay the nice lady $25 for the random things we bought. 

Seriously - what else is more fun to a couple on a Sunday afternoon.........

THANKFUL for another beautiful day.

Have a GREAT week!

Love,

Emily 

p.s. I totally googled whether is was"wondering" or :"wandering" got mixed answers so please don't judge me for misspelled words.....

Thankful - Day 2

WHAT?!?!?!? Two days in a row :)  Shocked myself!!!

*these are in NO particular order* (clearly who picks fun/football over my parents that brought me into this world?!??!)  Another day mom another day :)

Day 2:  I am THANKFUL for Friday afternoons when I clock out from work & its the weekend.  :)  It is my favorite part of the week.  My least favorite is Sunday night.  Don't get me wrong - I love my job but I really love the weekends :)

I am thankful for this weekend especially because MY BESTIE & HER HUBBY ARE HEADED TO ARKANSAS.  Totally a last minute plan, like 2 hours ago plan, but I love how flexible we all are when free football tickets are involved :) haha

I can not wait to see Melina & Matthew & spend time with so many FRIENDS this weekend!!!!!!!!

Being 30 weeks pregnant is not going to stop my bestie from "Calling The Hogs!!!" Woo Pig.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Love,
Emily

Thankful - Day 1

Hey Friends & Family!

Happy November 1st.  How in the world is it November already?!?!? Crazy!  Hope everyone had a great Halloween.  We did!  We got to hand out candy.  Meet some of our neighbors & have friends over. 

Anywho, I keep seeing people all over facebook post what they are THANKFUL for in the month of November.  You are suppose to do it everyday in the month of November.  Well.......I thought it would be fun to post here on this little ol blog.  Which for me to post EVERYDAY for a month is just comical to me, but hey its worth a shot!!!! :)  

Day 1 - I am thankful for Ryan.  My hubby. 

I think he thinks this blog is weird so I wont go into much detail, but really lets me honest - whoever can put up with me is a Saint :) haha Kidding!  We have been together for over 7 years.  Which still blows my mind.  He could use a little work in the dishes, laundry & chore department, BUT honestly we work as a team really well.  No marriage is perfect.  Clearly not ours.  But I feel with my whole heart when you work as a team - you rock!!!  And I think we rock!!!! ha

I have never met a more hardworking person in my life next to me - ha jokes people jokes!  He works so unbelievable hard at his job & I am so proud of him.

SO THANKFUL FOR RYAN!

Day 1 complete.  Lets put a bet on what day I return......tomorrow or 5 months from now!

(well I can guarantee you I wont post on Saturday because we will be cheering on our Hogs Football team) 

Have a fabulous Friday & GREAT weekend!

Love
Emily

O hi - are you confused why I just posted?!?!?! Me too!  The last time you read about me was in JUNE!  Seriously JUNE!  What in the world.  I am a MAJORRRRRR slacker, but I have good reason I suppose.  That is what I keep telling myself anyway.   Our life is ridiculously busy. 

I love a good list.  So here goes a recap of the last 3 1/2 months!

I will add a few pictures to keep your attention!




Celebrated my adorable nephew's 3rd birthday!



At a luau in Maui - honeymoon 2012

On our way to go snorkeling in Maui

Hogs vs Rutgers 9/22/12

Hogs vs Kentucky game. 10/13/12

Since I clearly suck at posting on a regular basis on here.  I guess I will just mention our FABULOUS honeymoon since I don't see myself doing a post just for that.  Just being real! ha  It was the best 7 days of my life.  I can't wait to go back.  It was a perfect trip even though there were issues getting there (due to horrible storms) but we made it & stayed calm & enjoyed every second of our trip even if it had detours.  Good detours I might add, because we got to see Pearl Harbor which was not on our original plan.  It was unbelievable.

The USS Missouri behind us at Pearl Harbor

Ok so that is the quickest and non-detailed post ever.  But hey - I am trying here.  I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to do better, but it's just hard for me right now.  Stay tuned.  Might see me more often!

But in the meantime - GO VISIT THIS BLOG... 
http://edit-kc.blogspot.com/ my best friend Melina, her sister & mom write there everyday & it is GREAT.  You can buy clothes, jewelry, scarves & other fabulous items from them.  I have a brand new purse & necklace thanks to my fashionable friend.  I loved getting to shop from Edit. You will thank me later - this is a GREAT blog :)

While on fashion - I wore colored skinny jeans for the first time last Friday - purple to be exact & when Ryan got home from work he made SOOOOO much fun of them.  I thought I looked really cute with my leopard flats & a black top. :)  What does he know?!?!?!

I may or may not have gone to a cute little donut shop in town on Friday after the dentist too.  Oooppsss! 

Rambling has ended.  Until next time.

Love,
Emily
