Will I Wait For You?!

This song made me smile, I wish I could find the video:

Will I Wait For You?

Will I wait for you?...
Why Wally Kestler you ought to be
Ashamed of yourself
I've given you the best years of my life
I've stood here through it all
Through short and fat and tall
Through thick and thin and rain and snow and ice
And now you're questioning my integrity
Is that any way to treat your future wife

Doesn't morning wait for the sun to rise
Like a birthday waits for a big surprise
Like a baby waits for a diaper change
Doesn't laughter wait for a joke that's good
Like the big bad wolf for Red Riding Hood
Like a cowboy waits to be home on the range
After all I've said and all I've done
To prove my love is true
And now you ask if I'll wait for you
Doesn't mother wait for the bread to rise
Like a burger waits for an order of fries
Like a chicken waits for the egg to hatch
Didn't Alice wait for a Wonderland
Like Captain Hook did for Peter Pan
Like the alphabet waited for the letter Z
Like a faithful girl waits for her missionary

Scrambled Eggs..

Yes, this describes how my brain felt yesterday...scrambled. I don't know what overcame me yesterday but i've never felt so overwhelmed in my life. When I'm use to people acting a certain way and they don't I just sort of drive myself crazy..because I get nervous when I notice that people I'm close to are suddenly different.

The main person who I like didn't really talk to me. I don't want to come across as needy--however, I just would like to know If I did something to upset them.. My goodness, I hate having to text people and such..lines of communication are so messed up these days.

THEN
NOW

It's just hard to know how to feel and to know how to go about things.. My mother read me her journal last night, and we just laid in my room on my bed talking.. I was crying as I was reading her journal..because everything I read from her journal looked like my thoughts out on paper. She told me, "you think i havent been there, Emily?" and that really hit me..and I was so happy to have her as my mom..because I truly feel like I was placed in her care because she's walked the road i've walked. and I told her, "Heavenly father knew that I needed you, and he knew that we needed to be each others best friends.." And our eyes both got watery and we just laid there hugging, mother and daughter. I was thinking..wow--my earthly mother is awesome, it'll be so nice to meet my heavenly mother too someday.

I'm so grateful to be able to live with, and to have a close relationship with my parents..it's great. And it truly makes a difference.

Being Nocturnal..

It is such an issue for me to fall asleep! And then, once I'm asleep nothing can wake me up!! I am SO excited for General Conference this weekend--and it's EASTER! Yay, Mom and Dad told me that I can invited Josh over for dinner since a lot of our friends and family are going to be there, I hope his parents say yes!

The missionaries had a meeting with me tonight, it was pretty intense! lol. Nah, we just talked about a broad topic, "the gospel." We mainly talked about the 4 article of faith:
"We believe that the first principles and aordinances of the Gospel are: first, bFaith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, cRepentance; third, dBaptism by eimmersion for the fremission of sins; fourth, Laying on of ghands for thehgift of the Holy Ghost."

I also wrote my 6 pages letter to my friend Jared who's serving a mission in Mesa, AZ. I sent him some prints of the temple that photoshopped to for him to share with his friends! This is also Josh's favorite temple, so I put these pictures in a frame for him:
