The Day That Emilee Met Harry Styles

Perhaps because the sun is out and I'm feeling quite blissful, I have decided to post-pone my super opinionated half written post until another week.  Be grateful.  
So anyways, I want to introduce you all to my dear friend Emilee.


Emilee is quite possibly one of my [favorites].  She spreads happiness wherever she goes... like, it is contagious.  It does not take much to make Emilee happy and I absolutely admire that about her.  For example, today she asked if we could stop at Sodalicious on our way back from the schools.  All I had to say was "of course" and Emilee was screaming in excitement-- "I'M GONNA GET THE 44OZ BLUE BOMBSHELL BABY!" (something like that --> wish I had been able to video her). Like a soda made Emilee so happy so that made me happy too. 


Also, Emilee is a person that makes everyone feel good.  She always has something nice to say.  She'll make you feel good about yourself when you do not feel good about yourself.  Emilee is everyone's best friend because she is so personable. 

I am obsessed with Emilee's sense of adventure.  She is the best example of living life to the fullest.  Emilee is always doing something fun whether it is leaving class early to get fro-yo or waking up one Saturday morning and deciding to take a trip to Moab.  I think that Emilee is one of the few people that understands how to truly enjoy life.  




...can I really fit everything I want to say about Em in a single blog post? Not possible. 

I'm just saying everyone needs a friend like Emilee.  She has taught me a lot about life [[too cliche!?]], like how to look for the best in everyone and enjoy every. single. day. life has to offer and how to just be happy no matter what.
 
Thanks for being the best Em. 

<33 Amanda

Be You, Bravely

Somewhere along life’s path I lost myself. Or maybe it’s not so much that I lost myself as I never quite found who I am. I have always been ashamed of myself- feeling like I can’t quite measure up to the high standard the world and I have set. When we moved to Minnesota, I knew I couldn’t keep living my life like that. My own self-consciousness was prohibiting me from being my best self, making new friends, and trying new things. Something had to give. I really admire the girls I have met. They all seem so cool and confident in themselves. I told myself depressingly that they would never want to be friends with me because I’m too weird, awkward, nerdy, shy...I could keep going for days. So I sat and I thought. What was it that drew me to these individuals (and those I've known in the past)? The thought unraveled slowly as I began to realize that they are unashamedly themselves. They don’t apologize for who they are- they embrace their whole selves and share that with others. I ...

The Land of Many Cheeses

There seems to be a common theme of frustration whenever I talk to anyone who has been applying for internships.  Believe me, I mean it when I say "I know how you feel." Thursday night Kyle and I cried some tears of joy as we realized that our seven-month trial of patience and faith was finally [[hopefully]] coming to an end...a happy end.  Kyle has been diligently applying for internships since September and even though he had submitted 100+ applications and had many contacts/promising outlooks nothing was working out .  I tried to be very supportive of Kyle through the entire process but may have hit a breaking point when I "filled" out my calendar for May and realized the great unknown that was post-May 3rd. Okay fine. So we'll just stay in Utah for the summer and work.  Kyle and I both found jobs and I even started making a Utah Summer Bucket list. Then Thursday night Kyle was working on his computer when all of a sudden he got really serious and ...

To Anyone Who is Struggling with Fertility Issues:

Okay so in case you didn’t know, surprise, Kyle and I are expecting a baby boy potentially any day now! Also, before you assume by our lack of publicly announcing or posting any pictures, we are beyond excited. We spend many nights in baby's room imagining what this crazy but beautiful journey will be like. I've started countless blog posts but they all feel wrong.  Then I realized that I was writing them only to explain our lack of publicity about having a baby.  I don't need to excuse anything and instead, I want to reach out to anyone who may also be struggling with fertility issues.   I had a friend tell me that I must be excited because I’ve been waiting for this baby for nine months now. The truth is Kyle and I have been waiting for nearly 2 1/2 years to hold our child.   We started out so hopeful and even through the first 3,4,5...negative pregnancy tests we were still excited.  Slowly our hope began to diminish and one day we found ourselve...
