Recent Happenings For Emily!!

I have been working on making dinner. And not just dinner from a box cause even though that is easy it probably isn't super healthy. Some of the stuff I have made are Steak (real steak) and baked potatoes, Spaghetti and meatballs, sunnyside up eggs and cut up oranges and finally Chicken pot pie. The pot pie was quite complicated because neither Tyson or I have pie pans. SOOOO I got semi creative and made it in a small cake pan.... here is a picture of the nice little pot pie:


Tyson is in a business Fraternity and they had initiation for the new members and they have a party for it as well. This past Saturday we had quite a bit of snow and the roads in the morning were crap. Tyson took 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot in which he was parked in. The party got canceled and so instead the fraternity decided to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. Here is a picture of Tyson and I at Buffalo Wild Wings.


My Birthday has come and gone. And I feel old sometimes. I am falling apart one day at a time.... not really but sometimes it feels like it. Well anyways for my birthday I got this georgous ring from my wonderful boyfriend Tyson. I adore it. He picked it out all on his own and I think he did a pretty good job at picking it out.

SOOO FUNNY!!!

I saw this on some random blog and watched it. I was laughing so hard that there were tears pooling in my eyes. SO HILARIOUS!!!!!

My Contribution

Shayla cuddled in the blanket I made her!


MY SISTER HAD THE BABY!!!! Almost two weeks ago now. Well my whole family gets to go see her for her blessing, but I have school and work so I could not meet her yet. Well anyways, I made my baby niece Shayla Kenly Rock 2 blankets. and my mom was kind enough to take pictures for me and send them to me!



Allison and Nate have called their kids monkey so I thought this was perfect for them.



I thought I would make a nicer one and one that wasn't pink. I figured she would have tons of pink. This one is my favorite. I tried to do a fancy edge but I don't think it turned out very well.


Also I had a birthday too. I am now 21 and that just sounds weird!!

hmmm...

I feel like I should post something but I don't exactly have anything to really post about. I am just kinda bored I guess. Right now I am greatly missing my other half (aka Tyson). He is in Indianapolis for a business fraternity thing till Sunday morning. So I came home to pass the time and to see my wonderful family. But now I am just sitting on my bed listening to a play list of songs that is full of songs that we like to dance to. (Yup we are that cool).

hmmm... My birthday is coming up. That should be... boring. lol I have class in the afternoon and Tyson has to work that night. But at least I get to sleep in. That will be wonderful.... even though I sleep in every Monday but still....

I made two receiving blankets for my new little niece who will be here in like 4ish days and I am soooooo excited to see pictures of that little girl. I won't get to meet her till who knows when!!!!

This summer I reeeeally want to go on a vacation. But I have to take a summer course of math... ick! and the summer after that I will be finishing school. SOOO I might have to wait until Tyson starts going on job interviews and I will mysteriously just go with him. haha yeah right.... a girl can dream.

well that is the end of my random post I think. I am getting tired now and am getting up to take my mom to the airport for her flight to Salt Lake tomorrow.... soooo I think my bed wants to snuggle..... Sorry if this was extremely random.... but that is how my mind is right now.

GOOOOD NIGHT WORLD!!!!!!!!!!

Brag post

So I always see people who blog brag about their spouses. I don't have a husband but I do have a wonderful Boyfriend and want to take a second to blog about him.


So anyone who knows me and knows me well knows that I get headaches. Not just little ones. Ones so bad that I cannot relax and calm down enough to get some sleep, and it SUCKS so bad.

Well Monday night I had a VERY bad headache. One that I could not get comfortable from and could not relax to get some sleep. Tyson works from 8 p.m. to about midnight. Well before he went into work he knew I had a headache. Before he got off of work I sent him a text message that basically said I think my head is about to explode.


Well about the time I was ready to cry, my phone started ringing and it was his ringtone. He said I am outside your house, can you come let me in? Well I did. He came and rubbed my feet and hands and when I asked him for my ice pack he came back with it and then decided it was not cold enough so he went and got a wash cloth wet with cold water and came and put it on my forehead. He came just to calm me down and get my head to not hurt enough that I could go to sleep. He is an amazing guy and I just love him. And that is my brag all about Tyson. :)

Mostly for Emily

Emily deleted her Facebook so she can't see the pictures my mama put online.....

I got my hair chopped off... well I don't think it was actually chopped but it was like 5 inches cut off my hair. and that is alot especially because it was so long and had not cut more than like 1.5 inches off since my junior year of high school I think..... anyways it is so much healthier and I LOVE it.

Ideas....

So just in case anyone wants to get me a birthday present... cause it is 44 days away (that is Nov 1st for anyone who doesn't want to count).... not that I am counting or anything. And if you miss my birthday or don't want to wait that long to get me a present, I will gladly accept them before or after the fact. And there is always Christmas. :)

IDEAS:
-hair straightener... because sometimes I want to wear my hair down.
-plane ticket to Utah for my Winter Break (preferably Dec. 19-23ish, not that I have thought about it)
-lots of pretty clothes
-Brad Paisley's Greatest Hits CD (Due out Nov 2nd)
-New shoes
-haircut


This is all I can think of right now.... but I am sure there is more to come.

A wedding!

I went to my friend's wedding today. It was a wonderful wedding. I had a wonderful date with my wonderful Boyfriend. We danced and ate, and laughed and cried. Kristi looked BEAUTIFUL! Her dress was as gorgeous as she was. I was so happy to have been able to share that wonderful event with her and her now husband. I was told later that the kids at the daycare were sad they couldn't go with to see Kristi get married. One of the little girls asked the other teachers if she would take the little girl instead of her husband. That was my day. How was yours? :)

Watch This

A friend of mine posted this video on Facebook. I watched it and could not help but cry. I then went to find it on YouTube and I started watching it again and about started crying again. So I stopped watching it. It is an amazing video and made me think of people who I know who have served in the war.

A year and A week...

Well as of July 29, Tyson and I have been dating for a year!!!!! It has been a very fast year. Time seems to be flying by. We celebrated our one year by seeing eachother a little before he went to work. After he was done with work we were hungry so we went to McDonalds, when we didn't have enough cash (the credit card machine was down) we went back to his place and ordered pizza. Friday we went and got everything sorted out for school. THEN we watched Lord of the Rings... and I stayed awake through the whole thing!!!!!


One of my favorite pictures.

My first trip to Mankato... now I am

living there... CRAZY!!!

After he decided to rip the bottom

part of my pants...

Driving home for my birthday!

MY FIRST VIKINGS GAME!!!!!

I like to color on his face :)

A walk in the snow!

I had a flat tire. He was my Knight in Shining

Armor, and sat with my till my dad came. hehe

He did try so hard to fix it but it just couldn't be

done.

My first Motorcycle ride. I rode with his dad.

We went to Prescott, WI.

My adorable outfit for the Motorcycle ride.

After one of my many visits to Mankato

On our way home from Kansas with his Family.

It was his grandparents' 60th Wedding Anniversary.

This is us in Kansas. It was so pretty where we

were at. We matched that day :)

This last year has been a quick one, but I am so excited to have so many more with Tyson. He is a great guy and I am so very excited to be living by him. :)

My Valentine.....

Tyson and I in December

This is my VALENTINE!!!!

I went to Mankato for the weekend. On Thursday night we went bowling with some friends. 3 of the 5 of us that went are in a bowling class so they wanted to show off their skills.... it worked. I did NOT do well because I am not a good bowler. OH WELL it was fun.

Friday we ran some errands that he had to do such as grocery shopping and a hair cut. After that we went out to eat and back to his house to watch the opening ceremonies... after a while we got bored of watching them so we watched ICE AGE 3 DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS...before we started watching the movie he gave me a box of chocolate. We opened it and each had a bite of the flavors. If we found one that we liked... you finished it and looked for another one like it before the other one got it. It was a fun little game... And we look forward to sharing a box of chocolate again next year.

Saturday we were sitting at the apartment and the doorbell started ringing. Sometimes friends will ring the bell when they come over. I asked who was coming over he said he didn't know we should go see... so away we went to see and we get to the top of the last set of stairs before the door he told me to go in front of him. He NEVER makes me go in front... except when we are racing but then I want to be in front. Anyways it was a delivery person who had these lovely flowers for me! He did such a good job telling them what I like. Gerber Daises are my absolute FAVORITE flower so he had them put some in there. I love these flowers and I LOVE this man!

Happy Valentine's Day to all. Hope you had a great day or weekend!
