Sometimes we go to Las Vegas

The person who said "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" was a big fat liar. They must be delusional, or anorexic or both and probably not skinny.




Seriously.

I'm sitting here eating my 5-day-late St. Patricks Day meal of corned beef and cabbage (no red potatoes, thanks for asking) and I keep wishing that it was that delicious pizza I ate earlier this week with reckless abandon. And then the Shamrock Shake I had later that evening. Or any one of the awesome diet-unapproved meals I had while taking the mini-vacation with husband.

It was divine.

And let me tell you about our little trip south to Sin City.

It was also divine.

We caught a concert (quite possibly the most amazing one I've been to yet...), toured Hoover Dam (with plenty dam jokes flying), walked and walked until we thought our legs and feet would fall off, relaxed by the pool, had fun laughing at the plentiful drunks walking the streets with us on St. Patricks Day, slept in, stayed up late and ate whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted.

And I remembered why I like being with Darrell.

Don't get me wrong, I always love that man of mine but being able to spend almost four days together with no kid, no responsibilities and no time frame was awesome. I remembered dating him and laughing with him. I always love him, but I remembered why I like him too. And it was nice.

If I could get my pictures to load to my computer I'd post them cause I look cute because I even got ready everyday of our trip. Showered, hair fixed AND makeup. I'm usually pretty good at getting 2 out of the 3 on a daily basis but on our trip I hit ALL three everyday!

So here's to the diet that we jumped right back into.

And to paying off debt.

And living beautiful lives together!

Darrell took Liam to the zoo with his sister and her kids. Apparently Liam loved the monkeys! I'm so sad I missed his first zoo trip. I guess we'll be heading back there soon!!!

A Birthday Boy!!!

Can you even believe that it has been one whole year since I had little boy?
I can't.

I can't even imagine what life would be like without him.

He is the best thing that has ever happened to me, (sorry love, you're pretty great too... but you've got some competition is all...)










Happy Birthday angel baby! I love you!

a little letter

dear adam:

hey there brother! so, as you know, i had my baby. he's amazingly beautiful. i'm jealous that you got to know him before i ever did. you're pretty lucky. and he's lucky. he got to know you. i look at that perfect baby and i get scared. i get afraid that the world is going to get him just like it got you. i hope you'll watch over him. help him. keep the world away from him. i'm not as strong as mom is and i can't... just... can't. so be there. i wish you were here to hold him. and kiss him. and love him. i miss you.
love you,

emily

hope (ful)

you know that moment when life gets just a little bit too stressful to think about?

you know, you start to think,

things are going great now but...
how will this work when...
what if i don't...
what if you don't...
what if we don't...

that moment?

the one that strikes at 2 in the morning after husband just got home from work? and we're both so tired that it just happens? and it won't stop?

it seems that moment is followed by one that goes,

i found out that!!!!
they said i could do!!!
a year from now i could be!!!
a year from now you will be!!!
a year from now we will be!!!

and then suddenly all hope is restored and all those fears just seem to melt away.

i really like those moments.


ps: i just love fall.

the perfect song

you know how it seems like you stumble on the perfect song.
it just fits life to a "t"
and you might have heard it many times before
but suddenly it just fits?

found it.

and i love it.

its called by bad body double by my favorite ever imogen heap

a few of my fav lines...

She pops into the bathroom
Just after a shower and
She plays with my makeup and creams
Keeps trying to look like me

And goes through the motions
Posing this way and that,
Holding it in,
If it makes you feel better, then knock yourself out

Say hi there to my bad body double
This is my bad body double trouble

She's trouble

Sometimes I manage to lose her
Shake her at a bar, in the gym for five minutes
It feels so good to be back to my own self again
Can get quite confusing.

We look very similar except she's got some grays and
a little extra weight on the sides
And dimply thighs,
I hear that stuff's a beast to get rid off
 
Can't shake her,
Everywhere I go,
I'm going to get rid
of you once and for all...

i love it. love it. its perfect.

a little letter

hey brother:

its been a while since my last letter. how are you doing? so at work the other day this kid came through my line. blond hair. kinda scruffy. he made this face and it looked just like a face you used to make. and i missed you. again. still. and then the other day i was going through some things and i found a handkerchief kyles mom made for me. it has your name embroidered on it. and she included a copy of your obituary. and it happened again. still. always. at bad times. and i cry. every time. but its good. cause i know you have some company right this very second. my little boy is with you. you better tell him nice things about me. or else. (thats kind of a bad threat cause really, what can i even do to you? really?) you know that tree? its HUGE. you would be so proud. oh, we went to the temple. seeing your name on that little blue card was beyond weird. those aren't supposed to be people that you know. just strangers that died in like 1792 or something. not adam michael green april 27 1990. i didn't like it very much. but we were all there at the same time. you and everyone else. together just for a little while.anyway, i love you. keep being amazing. cause you always were and always will be.

love, em

how i stay busy

so after i made my quilt the other night i decided to just keep going and see how far my crafting motivation could take me.

i think i worked at a fabric store for much too long becuase i have endless projects purchased and waiting to be completed. one such project was a table runner i wanted to make for july 4th. i wanted to have it done to put on my table this year but just never got around to it. so i pulled out the fabric and went to town!

i'm really happy with the way that it turned out. i have another one that i just need to finish sewing the binding on and then i will have two! i don't know what to do with the second... maybe start selling them? hmmm... anyway, i now have july 4th, halloween and thanksgiving table decorations!!!

i love them all!!!!

the love has returned

once upon a time i mentioned a slight love i have (here, here and sometime back in 2008)

well the love has once again returned in full force.
last night i pulled out the scraps to make an ugly quilt.
i sewed all the 3 1/2 by 6 1/2 rectangles together into squares and in total created 224 squares.
i put them together.
and here is what i got:


and you know? i think its my favorite on so far!

next on the list? patriotic table runner and some kind of fall decor, patriotic quilt (in the works for 2 years now) and who knows what else !!!

i have a problem...

... called curiosity.

i am working on not being so curious.

you know, waiting for information to be volunteered instead of asking.
like with husband.
i like to ask him when i don't think the answer is coming soon enough.
silly.

i should just be patient.

so i put this new patience to test yesterday when husband told me he had secret errands to run today.
i asked what they were and he said "i can't tell you! its a secret!"
and he had a cute look on his face.

shoot dang.
now i really really want to know.

blah.


in other news... it seems so weird that one year ago i was moving out of one apartment to go home to get married. sheesh. i never would have guessed that one year later i would be getting ready to go to my BEAUTIFUL cousin Erikas wedding and have a little baby coming.

sheesh.

good thing nobody told me that they had a secret about that.
it might have killed me.

cupcakes


What happens when you take an Emily and take away a Darrell until 1 am five days a week and then add the little boy growing inside of me that occasionally causes me to be slightly ridiculous?



You get cupcakes at 11:45 pm of course!

Oh how I love my life!

homeward bound

Dear Adam:
Its been a year.
This song still makes me cry. (If only we hadn't had it performed at your funeral...)
I'm glad I know you went home to be with our Heavenly Father.
I just wish I could have one more minute.
I love you.
I'll see you again. I know.
Love, Emily

 Homeward Bound

In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red.
When the summer’s ceased its gleaming,
When the corn is past its prime,
When adventure’s lost its meaning,
I’ll be homeward bound in time.

Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling and I’ll return to you somehow.

If you find it’s me you're missing, if you’re hoping I’ll return.
To your thoughts I’ll soon be list’ning, and in the road I’ll stop and turn.
Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end.
And the path I’ll be retracing when I’m homeward bound again.

Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling and I’ll return to you somehow.

In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing,
I’ll be homeward bound again.

So I found this picture and I love love love it. I don't know what was happening but the look on Darrell's face is priceless. I must have said something mean because he doesn't look too thrilled with me (but I sure thought I was funny... that's for sure).
