life lately.

record.

i just finished recording my first ever album! 

it's only 7 songs, but, you know, it's good enough for me.

here's a few of the songs, if ya wanna hear.

it's funny, the songs i was most excited to record are the ones that i like the least.

and the songs i almost didn't record because i didn't really like them, 

are the ones that i love how they turned out.

the 4th

For the 4th of July, my family went boating, of course. It was the best of days: freakin hot and smooth morning water. 

We're all improving on our wakeboard skills.  

and banana boat skills.

and lookin good with lake hair skills.

 

 

weekend goodies

This weekend was just the best. And here is my list of why it was so great:

Boating twice. Once with friends, once with fam.
Big hugs from Dad.
Getting some sun.
Mom cheering when we get even just an inch of air on the wakeboard.
Cafe Rio.
Helping my roommate with her Relief Society lesson.
Bonfire with friends.
Bearing my testimony in Sacrament meeting.
Watching puppies play together. Adorable.

beau

Today I was feeling pretty fiesty at work, I guess. We did a buffet for a youth conference. There's these fork dispensers where you just push a notch and a fork comes out. The kids found them fascinating.

One boy in particular was like,

 'Whoa! These are so cool! 

Are these fork dispensers your guys' main attraction?'

I looked at him and said,

'No... I am.'

As he walked away he read my name tag and said,

'Emily... I don't have a name tag.... but my name's Beau.'

dislike

there's one thing that i really really dislike a lot. 

facebook wedding groups.

sassy and wilson are getting married!!!!!!!!!     [overabundance of explanation points]

if you want an invitation to our wedding, give us your address by [enter date here] !

or, in other words, 

you invite yourself to our wedding, give us your address so we don't have to even pay attention to who we're mailing it to, and then bring us presents!!!!!!

then there's the constant facebook reminders. 
last chance to invite yourself to my wedding!

um, seriously? you really want to 'invite' 400 people to your wedding on facebook, 350 of which you barely even talk to anymore [or maybe never have talked to]? whycan'tyoujustaskmeformyaddresspersonallyinsteadofinviting400peopleatthesametime.

i never put my address down on those. cause, if you couldn't tell, i think they're retarded.

it's kinda like when people update their facebook status, 

dear everyone [yes, all 426 of you],
i lost my phone and/or got a new phone! if you want me to have your number, send me a text with your name! 

k, what?
how hard is it to just go ask the ten people whose numbers you lost, for their numbers? and if you're feeling less prideful you could even say, 
'hey, i lost your number. can i have it again? cause sometimes i like to use it.'
but, you can't do that, cause what if they said no?

facebook is making everyone stupid.
