An Interesting Life!

So Ison just makes me smile all the day long!! He does not even have to be with me and I grin from ear to ear! :) We have only been dating 2 1/2 weeks now, but it feels like a few months! Maybe it's because I see him every day except for Wednesdays...I spend those days with my mom and dad.

Well, he made a blog...mostly so he could comment on the comments made about his pictures that I posted... ;) He is so funny. I love it that I have found such a great and wonderful friend!!!

So I have this yucky infection in my mouth called thrush...for the 4th time! It is so annoying! It makes it very hard to eat and talk...and yawning is just torture!! It has been hurting since Friday night and this morning was the first time that I did not cry uncontrollably when I brushed my teeth and used my mouthwash. YAY! I have this wonderfully fantastic medication called Nystatin that I have to use every 6 hours for 14 days (12 more to go) and it does not taste the best, but it is sure making me feel better!

For those of you who know of thrush, usually old people and babies get it...my doctor (when I got it the 2nd time) could not figure out how I got it until he realized that I used an inhailer for my asthma...DO NOT FORGET TO RINSE YOUR MOUTH AFTER USING YOUR INHAILER!! Bad things might happen...

My sad news today is that this weekend a member of my single's branch died. He was camping with a couple of other branch members and they were cutting down a few trees. The first one came down fine, but the second one became stuck in another tree. The three of them pushed on it and while they were pushing it, the top 20 feet or so snapped off and fell onto two of them. Alan died from his wounds there and the other was rushed to the hospital. The one in the hospital is scheduled to be released today, which is a miricle because his injuries were critical when he was admitted. Tomorrow I get to take off work for a couple of hours to attend Alan's funeral. He was such a wonderful guy. He could always make someone laugh, had the most amusing stories to share in different classes, and played the piano beautifully. Our branch will miss him terribly...

It rained last night!! Yay! We have not had rain for........goodness, I'm not sure how long! It was great to wake up and see everything wet! I'm surprised that it didn't wake me up! There apparently was thunder and lightning...I guess I was too tired from staying up to late with Ison..hehe!

A Boyfriend for Emily :)

Well, I have a boyfriend and he is just amazing! It just happened so fast! I only met him 3 weeks ago and really started to get to know him a week ago, but we have been dating for a week now...you can call us twitterpated because we do...*giggle*

I completely was not expecting this! I was going to go out on a fun date and maybe go out more and then see where it led to, but no...we just hit it off great! *grins like a complete idiot*

Here are a couple of pictures from our Branch Dance last night:

And for all your information, his name is Ison Carl Tenney, he's 6'3'', is in the Air Force (enlisted) in pediatrics, his family is in the Seattle, WA area, he is number 4 out of 12 kids, and he is totally smitten with me... :) YAY!

The Meaning of my Name

Aimee had this on her page, so I decided to try it out as well. What do you think? Is it me? I thought there were a lot of things that were pretty close...

What Emily Means

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Straight Hair

So Elizabeth wanted me to post pictures of me with my long, straight hair. I haven't straightened my hair for a long time...I usually just do it curly, like in this picture.




My hair looks really long in this picture. I did not realize that my hair had grown that much!

This is a fun picture that my friend in the branch took at someones house after dinner Sunday night. It turned out really good! And a couple of guys decided to try to get in the picture, too.

Well, this is a short post. I'll write again in a while. :)

ALLERGIES!!

Just to let you all know, allergy season is upon us here in New Mexico! And I do not like it one bit! Yesterday morning at about 2:00am I woke up because my stomick (and I know I spelled it wrong... I can't remember how to spell it!) hurt...and I was sneezing like crazy! It took me a while to fall asleep again...which made me upset and tearful because I really was tired and wanted to sleep and not sneeze and not have an upset tummy. Poor me. ;)

So all day yesterday it was sneeze after sneeze while I shopped with my roommate for some bare necessities. One of my roommates moved out Friday, so me and Daisy were moving all my cats belongings (litter, food, water, toys, beds, etc.) into the spare room...where they will remain at least for now. For that room I bought a really cheap rug for the cats to lay on because the floor is concrete...it previously was the garage.

I work at a high school, for those of you who do not know. And it might interest you that when I started working there, a lot of the kids thought that I attended the school! And the people on the commuter bus that I take thought I attended the school! From what I gather, they thought I was between 15 and 18! I do not think I look that young, but I AM hoping that it keeps up with me as a grow older. ;)

I need to go to bed now and snuggle with my 2 cats, who are meowing at me, trying to get my attention, which I give them so much of!
