Here is to life as I know it

So I never pictured myself a blogger and I still don't really, but with everyone growing up and distances coming between us, I thought it was about time to give it a try. So here it is. The beginning of the blog. To start out let me explain the name of my blog. When I was a little little girl, I was nicknamed Emma Jean; not bad. There was also a rhyme that went with it. My dad would sing it to me - "Emma Jean the beauty queen, lost her pants in the washing machine". I remember hating it. Now I am embracing it; I would rather lose my pants everyday if that means it is going to make me laugh. So here is to laughing everyday.

 

Okay so here is me. In VEGAS. This was for my 21st birthday. Yes I turned 21 this year; the big 2-1. Me and my best friend in the whole world Alexis packed up and met her family in Vegas, and what a great time we all had.
Anyway, on a more recent note here is what I have been doing as of late. I went home for a month to party hard in California. I came home and right off the bat I was packing to go serve at the girls camp in our stake. It was a great week. I learned so much about service and love from those girls than I have in a long time. Despite the LICE epidemic. Yes. Lice. Even with that, the girls learned how to make the best out of the situation. Then I came home and ventured off to Bass Lake with the Cola Family. It was great to be in the sun and soak up the good life. Here is a picture of me and Ashlynn. She is planking on the raft and I am owling. We are pretty hip and happening.

After the lake, I just hung out with my family and then I headed back to Idaho Falls to start my nanny job and to live with my Aunt Ashley. It has been so nice to live around my family for the past week. I never really had the opportunity to live around my family growing up so this has been a lot of fun for me. I also started working this week. I have never been a nanny before so this was quite the experience. I have had to become reacquainted with imagination that is for sure. I have been thrown into the land of dolls and make believe; a place where I have not visited for a long time. I nanny two little girls Kyra and Cassidy. Kyra is 3 and Cassidy is three and we are having fun. I think that they were a little apprehensive the first day, but cookie monster cupcakes and one fort later, I was the their new favorite person. Here are the cupcakes!

I will be honest. Theses were more for me than they were for the girls. You can't tell me these aren't the cutest darn things you have ever seen in your life.
Well there is life in its most recent form. I am excited to be blogging and letting my friends and family know what is going on in my life. I am young, happy and excited about what life holds for me.
