10 Pet Peeves

1. When people say "I could care less"
  
  By saying that you could care less, you could in fact be saying that you care a great deal, which is obviously not what you mean.

2. Wen ppl type lyk dis

  Need I say more?

3. Yawn pokes

  Derek, this one's for you! Yawning is a beautiful thing and when it gets poked it ruins a beautiful moment!

4. When people measure a player's prowess by how many rings they've gotten.

  You know, you get a ring if you ride the bench too...just sayin'!

5. When people use the wrong form of there or your.

  We learned this in third grade people!

6. When white people think they're black and wear their pants halfway down their butt resulting in a Franken-duck walk.

7. When people make fun of Soda Springs.

  It may be small, but if you've never been there you can't (and SHOULDN'T) judge

8. When you're one card away from going down in Books and Runs (or Nasty if you belong to the Stoor family) and the person right before you goes down and OUT!

  I have ruined many a good score because of this!

9. When someone has a new boyfriend of girlfriend every other week and they claim to LOVE every one of them.

  No you don't. Don't kid yourselves.

10. Slow internet connections.

Bets I've Won

Derek and I tend to disagree about lots of things, so they end up in bets such as this:

What's this called?

I asked Derek if I could borrow their Church Key awhile back and he looked at me like I was nuts.

"It's a can opener!" He said.

After five minutes of trying to convince him that it could be called either we turned to the only way we know how to settle these ridiculous bets.

Aaaaand guess who won? 

Me.

Now for the next one:

Derek: "Emma, can I borrow a sauce pan?"

Me: "Sure, here ya go!"

Derek: "No no no, not a pot. A saucepan! Like this."

Me: "You mean a skillet?"

*five minutes of arguing*

Emma-Leigh wins!

And for the last one:

I have the cutest nieces and nephews!

Double post

Yesterday I got a little caught up in something:

So I kinda forgot to post...

I guess I'll just have to double up to keep on track!

Photo Challenge: A picture of the people you spend most of your time with.

Kenna and Mystie (I kinda don't have a picture with Lyndsey and Megan)

Kyle= Awesome

Derek= ...Derek

Photo Challenge: A picture of the best part of your day.

Getting to come to IF to spend time with Greysen, Lindsay, and Ronnie.

...And Brendan and Witney and Mom and Dad and Maci.

Can you believe this little guy is already almost 3 months old???

To a very good friend of mine...

Happy Birthday Derek Stucki!

I can't say enough about how much Derek's friendship means to me.

But I guess I can try...

D is for dedicated. I swear, he's been working on the same project for the entire semester and he says he's still only half done with it...I would have just changed my major haha

E is for elusive. I don't think I have ever seen anybody elude drama or just about anything else as well as Derek does.

R is for receptive. He is always willing to listen to me when I haven't been able to elude the drama like he has.

E is for Extremely smart...I ran out of E words. One day he had me read a few pages from his C++ book. I went upstairs and cried because it made my head hurt so much haha...just kidding.

K is for kind. Everyone that knows Derek knows that he is pretty much the nicest person you've ever met. He has an opinion about everything, but he has a very nice way of telling you that you're wrong ;)

I am so blessed to have a friend like Derek in my life. 

He is one of the few people I can say is just legitimately good without having to try.

I'm pretty sure he's the reason I'm alive right now (if you don't know why, see this post.)

And let's not deny it, he's always good for a laugh:

Always gets his rear end in a shot.

For Halloween he was a flasher...which meant he wore a long jacket that covered his clothing and then opened up his coat to show off his GOTCHA sign...

Happy birthday Derek!

This one's for you...

This is for all of you who:
Know that Dove chocolate does indeed fix everything.
Genuinely care about me.
Leave notes for me that you know I'll see that always always ALWAYS make my day.
Tell me that you love me unconditionally.
Say those profound things that I've heard zillions of times, but all of a sudden make an impact.
Understand where I've been and know where I'm going.
Can finish my sentences.
Can always make me smile.
Laugh at my (usually) stupid jokes.
Have told me that you're proud of me.
Know that there is a deeper meaning to Bubbles and Potato Salad. :)
Understand what I'm talking about when I say Potato Tots.
Compliment my cooking even when it's not the greatest.
Crawled into my bed with me when you knew I was crying just to give me a hug (just FYI, this only applies to Maci)
Pulled me onto their knee and held me while I cried.
Supported me even when I was failing.
Have lent me things even when it wasn't convenient.
Bring me down to earth.
Helped me separate Cross Stitch thread into the wee hours of the morning.


I LOVE YOU!
That is all :)

Pie and Moustaches!

First of all, Happy Pi Day everyone!
This is quickly becoming my favorite holiday ;)
One of my good friends, Kyle, was feeling ultra ambitious today...
So we ended up making eleven pies.

Yes, you read that correctly. Eleven. As in one one...11...Once...you get the picture.

Here are a few pictures of our evening:

Derek was "Maria" today. Maria is their dishwasher.

Lauren and I took care of most of the pie fillings.

Mastermind and pie crust maker

As well as making fillings, I also rolled out lots of dough. I find that hilarious because I'm not particularly gifted at it...

Here they are all done! Melissa also helped peel the apples :)

Nice face Kyle ;)

Cheesecake, Lemon Meringue, Coconut Cream, Pecan, Apple, Pumpkin, Two Chicken Pot Pies, Fudge Ice Cream...thing, And I think there was another Coconut one too.

At around seven we took a break from our pie making and went to our separate FHE activities. 

Actually...I think I'm the only one who was in a different FHE group...lame.

Anyway, guess what the activity was in my group?

Yep, you guessed it. Pie making. 

I guess you could say that I'm a little pied out right now.

Cody cutting the Key Lime Pie. (Kinda amazing that they came up with ANOTHER flavor of pie that Kyle didn't eh?)

And this is what we did while we were waiting for the pies to be done. 

Yes, we made moustaches.

Jeffrey trying to look "subductive".

That's a direct quote.

He's kinda brilliant haha

This is Jim...affectionately called Jimberly. 

He will probably kill me if he reads this.

Overall, today was a good day! Lots of laughs and memories made.

I love Pi Day
