Not a Utard.

Dear California,

I am sad to say that I now have:
a Utah license
and Utah license plates.
I shed a few tears when I think about it.
I will forever keep my California license
and license plates.
Don't you worry though...
I WILL BE BACK!!
(soon, I hope.)

-Yours truly,
Emily.

Sundays.

I love Sundays.
It is my favorite day of the week.
I love being able to relax, slow down, and reflect on my life.

One of my absolute favorite hymns is
I Know That My Redeemer Lives.
I almost always read this hymn while the Sacrament is being passed.

My favorite verse is...

He lives, my kind, wise Heavenly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I'll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest and King.
He lives, and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.

Whenever I am homesick or going through a hard time,
I remember this song.
It brings comfort to me.
I know that my Savior lives.
I feel his love all the time.
And it is the best feeling.

Happy Sunday everyone!

{I love pictures of Christ with children.
It brings joy to my heart.}

Good News!!

NO FRACTURE!!
I went back to the doctor today for a follow-up on my ankle.
Doctor says I have no fracture!!
Oh it was so good to hear that.
Doctor says I am able to go on hikes when I am in mammoth.
I was given exercises to do, so that I can build strength in my ankle again.
Can't wait for this ankle to be fully healed.

- 7 more shifts of work before I go home.
