Almost Two Years

Oops...


I didn't mean for this to happen. Didn't I warn you about my previous blogs that got lost in the abyss of the internet? You were expecting this, weren't you? That's alright.

A LOT has happened in the past nearly year and a half. Biiiig life changes. Let's see if we can hit all the high notes:

In my last blog post, I was single and lonely, a hopeless romantic if you will. I wasn't planning on much to happen too soon. I was in my first semester of college and planning to become a nurse. I had recently began a job at a small jewelry store...

And then Josh made his way into my life.

He swept me off my feet and in no time I was head over heels. I was known for dropping them like they were hot after around 2 weeks. Josh is my exception. I don't know how he did it, but I'm sure glad that he was the one to figure me out. Josh had really been in my life for years before we started dating, but we were just friends (although I have thought he was super cute since he started coming around more).

Fast forward to our almost ninth month of dating, josh proposes to me. And I said yes. This has been one of the very best decisions of my life. And then fast forward around 2 months later we were getting married. One of the very best days of my life.

And now I'm sitting on the couch, in my house, with my husband. We've eaten supper and filled out million dollar brackets for sports games we don't know enough about. We've watched some of Jill and Jessa: Counting on and Shark Tank, and we're both on our laptops. I love it.

You really never know how your life is planned to turn out.


I had to quit my job because I was moving to where Josh lived, but God has recently provided me with one that seems like it is going to work perfectly with my schedule. I'm in my last semester of college and have finally chosen a major. I decided that nursing isn't where I'm headed at this moment in my life. We have a dog named Luke, we saved him from a shelter that he was given up to by his previous owner (we love him).

We have family, we have God, we have each other. And that's all we really need.

I am so thankful.











Toodleloo! xoxo

MY NAME IS EMILY AND I AM A PROCRASTINATOR

"Oh you're not that bad"
Oh really? Ask everyone that's experienced my procrastination how bad I am.

"Oh I'm probably worse than you"
Worse than me my big toe, come on, ask the people who have seen.


DOES ANYONE OUT THERE UNDERSTAND HOW HARD I MAKE MY LIFE ON MYSELF


Now, I really don't have a bad life, I've got it pretty stinking good. But...
I make things harder and more stressful than they should be sometimes. And I know i do it, I know I need to stop, I know that I have work that I should be doing right now, I know that I need to study for my calculus test, and I know that I should get in bed at a decent time.
But what am I doing?

WRITING A BLOG POST

PROCRASTINATING

Is there anybody reading this that can tell me how to deal with this... disease? Can we call procrastination a disease?



While I'm procrastinating, why not keep at it...

DO ANY OF YOU WATCH SHERLOCK
Please tell me there is someone reading this (if there is anyone reading this) that watches Sherlock.

Come on

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Oh yes. His name IS italicized and underlined.

LOOK AT HIM


HE'S EVEN CUTE HERE LOOK


OH MERCY ME
LOOK WHAT I HAVE FOUND


Don't forget his fancy name



Now, go watch Sherlock and come up with a cure for procrastination.
(& all the other bad REAL diseases, yeah find a cure for them too)

Toodleloo!
Emily,
Xx

Been-a Minute, Yeah?

oh
hello

Well... Just dive right on into it for a bit, shall we?

I've started college! Not gonna tell ya where on here, I have no idea how many of you are potentially harmful.
College isn't that crazy, but there are a few differences from high school.
FOR EXAMPLE:
The fact that you can just up and leave straight in the middle of class. Seriously, not even kidding. Oh, is the teacher teaching but you gotta pee? just go right on, nope, don't even ask. Yep, just leave.
I was getting help from my anatomy teacher the other day, when my phone buzzed. My teacher was between me and my phone, and I was just going to leave it. I even thought about apologizing for it happening. But, no need. He was just like "I think your phone's buzzing" or something like that... AND HE HANDED ME MY PHONE. Nope, I'm not kidding, he gave my phone to me because he heard it buzzing.
Ahh college.




I sit here with heavy eyelids...


Why not share something with the few of you that are reading this (thanks btw).

I want to be a good blogger. I want people to look forward to my next blog post. I want to blog like Louise Watson (sprinkleofglitter).

Got any tips for me to start achieving this? If yes, then PLEASE share them down in the comments.

Forgive the Wait

My fellow bloggies,

Please do forgive me for the following things:

A.) the fact that it has been over a month since my last post

B.) how the format of this blog may be, for I am using the blogger app and I don't know how this will turn out.

I made a choice this week. A choice that some people who know me may have thought it would take more to happen than what did for me to make. 

I. Deleted. My. Instagram.

No, you didn't hallucinate those words on your screen. It really happened. Some people may not understand my motives behind doing so, but I chose to do it. I was not forced to do so.

I was driving down the road when a thought pretty much randomly popped into my head to delete my Instagram. The night before, my friend told me that she deleted her Instagram. That night something very good was given to her. Awhile I had been home I was listening to one of my mother's lectures, somewhat during which my cousin walked into the house. As we talked more, my cousin had also been thinking about deleting her Instagram.

For kind of personal reasons we decided that we should delete our Instagrams, and did so. (I tried deleting the 2 other accounts I have but failed, maybe they can be deleted soon).

We did this in hopes that it would be good for us and bring something good out of it. This wasn't the easiest thing to do. Try deleting something that you are usually on for a collective amount of hours a day and had over 1,400 followers on. Not very fun. Then try going through a day WITHOUT that thing. Again, not the easiest thing to do. My friend didn't help much by sending the link to two Instagram videos to me... Yes I watched them.

I am still alive, even without my Instagram.

Much love, xx

Toodleloo!

Let's start off with a super cute picture of my dog (Chester) covered up in my bed the other night:


Can you find him? He is so cute, oh how I love him.

Woo-hoo, second blog post! Aaand I'm not entirely sure how to start things off.

I GOT A PACKAGE TODAYYY! I recently ordered some Soap & Glory- CLEAN ON ME shower gel from Sephora:

(Ugh please forgive the glare <<<spelling?)
It smells nice, somewhat like The Righteous Butter by Soap & Glory. Something that is on this bottle that I've never seen on a bottle of shower gel before is, in the instructions, it recommends that you turn your shower off while you wash up with it as to "Prevent it from all just going down the drain." Hmmm...

When you order from Sephora, you get 3 free samples, woo! For some reason though, I received FOUR!


Bottom row left to right: GLAM GLOW Brightmud Eye Treatment, CLINIQUE Acne Solutions Clearing Gel, and Desigual "love" (which is a little perfume sample). The extra sample I was sent is another little perfume sample from Cartier "La Panthere" (top center). Both of the perfumes actually smell quite good, although the Cartier has a hint of an old lady smell to it.

ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT NOTE:


Let's talk about The Fault in Our Stars. I read the book back in 2013 before Christmas and oh boy it's good. John Green is a talented and super smart man (and easy on the eyes too). Has anyone else noticed that since An Imperial Affliction is not actually a real book, John kind of wrote a book WHILST HE WAS WRITING A BOOK?! What if An Imperial Affliction was an idea John had for a book but was too nervous to actually write it for fear of what his readers would think of it, so instead, he gave us a little taste of it too see if it would get a response? Also, another idea of mine, think back to the book and how the main character in An Imperial Affliction just quits "writing" about her life, like she may have died (per Hazel's thoughts). Well, did anyone else think that TFIOS itself ends a bit like that? Like it just kind of... stopped? What if it's supposed to be like An Imperial Affliction? What if- brace yourselves- Hazel died?

I just noticed that in both of the pictures showing my bed, it's unmade. I promise I've made my bed before.

And in case anyone wondered what I look like:


Here's me! Be sure to comment and share my blog, recommend it on Google+, do whatever you're supposed to do in the blog world.

Much love xx

Toodleloo!
