This author has yet to write their bio.Meanwhile lets just say that we are proud Emma contributed a whooping 231 entries.
Tonight I started having a conversation in Italian with myself. I was about to take an Italian test and decided that I should probably refresh a little bit. I started talking to an imaginary person, telling them all about my life and how wonderful it was. And I honestly felt like a different person. […]
I don’t usually like to write about touchy subjects. I suppose they beg for debate and contention. But I can’t stand idly by and let evil stare me in the face and not do anything about it. I have been thinking about how to live with a legal regime that fails to protect innocent life. […]
Every time I look at pictures of us I still get butterflies in my stomach. At night, when I can’t sleep, I don’t want to wake Dallin up, so I go and sit in the bathroom since that’s the only other “room” we have in the apartment and I re-design my blog and scroll Instagram […]
Dallin and I work together. We sleep together, we eat together, we go shopping together, we travel together, we do everything together. Sound familiar? IT’S JUST LIKE THE MISSION. Or maybe the mission is just like marriage, I don’t know. We both feel it. We reminisce about it. We live in the ghetto (sort of…) […]
Weddings. Most girls start planning their wedding when they are five. Anna already knows that her colors will be red and green for Christmas. I, on the other hand, had no opinions. It scared me, quite honestly, because I knew Dallin did (he has catered 100s of weddings and planned his with his spare time) […]
boy invites her over, makes her smoothies, let’s her eat chocolate, gives her a massage, and cuddles all day. He also introduces her to new TV shows, makes her dinner, stays up past his 10:00 bedtime, and speaks to her in Portugese. Boy is a winner. Girl loves boy. Boy loves girl. The end. 22 […]
Happy Easter! Easter is definitely one of my favorite holidays. Right behind Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love Easter because I remember my Savior so much more. At Christmas you get all caught up in silly things, but Easter is so happy. It’s spring! And He is Risen! Everything is new, and it reminds me of […]
I have had trouble sleeping for the past 4 years. Whenever I can’t sleep, I pull out my phone and read my scriptures. And that’s what I’m doing right now. Except this time, I’m going to write about it. As a lot of changes and things are happening in my life, I am learning more […]
Here’s Dallin’s take. Here’s mine. So it’s Valentines Day weekend. We’re in St. George. Not gonna lie, I didn’t really know if I wanted to go to St. George. Plus, Dallin had convinced me that he didn’t have the ring. (The only thing I wanted for the proposal was to be surprised. And I said […]
And these last couple of months have been wonderful with many adventures. You can read Dallin’s blog about those, because let’s be honest, he’s a much better writer than I am, and he’s hilarious. From reading books in the basement, the festival of trees, a couple road trips to St. George, meeting the family […]
Right before I entered the MTC, Dallin messaged me and told me good luck. I told me him thank you and, “if you ever have time, write me a letter in one of the cool envelopes that your sister makes.” I remember the first envelope I got. It was my first day in the MTC. […]
I know, I’ve been all over social media posting pictures of me and Dallin, but I can’t help it…I’m in love…sue me. So here’s the deal. I’m a girl, and let’s be honest, girls like details. So I’m going to give you all a very detailed version of my love story in parts. (I just […]
I’ve never been one to cry when I am happy, or when I’m feeling the spirit, or really ever actually. I cried on my mission when I felt like I wasn’t good enough. I cried when someone had hurt me, or when I had felt that I had hurt someone. I cried when I was […]
Today we’re picking Anna up from school. She was explaining all of her theories and asking lots of questions about Santa Clause. She says, “Look. I figured it out. Santa is a vampire. It’s the only thing that makes sense.” Why is Santa a vampire, Anna? 2 reasons: He lives forever. And he has super […]
Today I was driving home. Alone. I was a little tense. Maybe because I haven’t driven or been by myself for a really long time. But I was doing good. Only one person honked at me. And I was sitting in the car thinking. Thinking about how 2 weeks ago I was in a beautiful […]
Carissima famiglia mia, I’ve been staring at the screen for 5 minutes now and my fingers are shaky. I don’t know why, I just don’t know how to put into words what this last year and a half has meant for me. I don’t know how to really think right now. But, it’s okay. Forgive […]
Carissima famiglia, A day without a smile is lost. A member gave me that phrase this week, and I thought I’d share it with you. There’s always a reason to smile 🙂 I just love you all! This week was a great week, filled with lots of little miracles. We taught a beautiful member present […]
Carissima famiglia, It has been a good week! Lots of learning experiences and God answering our prayers. I want to write about a lesson we had this week that was one of the favorites of my mission. We went to go teach one of our new investigators, a referral from our new convert. We show […]
