It's been awhile...it's hard to believe that Brandon and I have been married for almost 7 months...and that in 4 months we will be moving to Knoxville. We have met some wonderful Christians here at Bartlett and we are so blessed to be able to get to work with them here! Brandon and I are starting to teach this month. Bartlett is using the Our Spiritual Heritage Bible Program and I love it! Brandon will teach the middle school class and I will be in the 4-6 grade class. My first time to teach them will be the 15th, so any prayers for that would be so appreciated! :)

Work is going pretty well...some days I just stop and thank God for the patience that He has given me, because without Him there is no way I would be able to work with 14 two year olds. I love my babies! :)

My parents will be here tomorrow and that makes me happy. Anytime spent with our family is wonderful, because it doesn't happen enough! Brandon is on Spring break the week of the 15th-we're going to Bowling Green for a few days!:) I'm looking forward to the FC band/chorus concert on that Monday!

I guess that's about all for now! Have a blessed day!
"Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." Psalm 106:1

If you guys haven't decided on a congregation, I have friends at the church in Oak Ridge. I could give you their contact info if you're interested. :)

I love it when my parents come to visit my home and share time with me and my new family:). Glad your parents are getting to come visit!

Oh man, I am kinda jealous...Knoxville is really nice and SO close to my favorite vacation spot.....Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge......hope you like it there!

good luck teaching

by mrs_poochie at 03/12/09 3:59PM
I probably won't see you, but I'm glad you're doing well. I miss the old girl scouting days!

by phoenixfire at 03/16/09 2:04PM
maybe we'll get to see you while you're in town.

by mrs_poochie at 03/16/09 10:18PM
Thanks,Emily you're so sweet! I appreciate you! Youre such an encouragement to me. May Gods light continue to shine through you.

by golden_star at 04/18/09 12:44AM
Last Wednesday Tyler asked when you were coming back - he misses you

by emilygraham at 05/21/09 9:07PM
It's a hassle so far! They STILL haven't sent us our marriage certificate so we're going to go to the county clerk today and see what the holdup is.

by silly_nickel at 07/03/09 1:06PM
Sent you a pleo message with my email address.

by simon_says at 08/12/09 10:39AM
Hi Emily! I am so bad that I haven't emailed you w/the pizza recipe. I will get that to you right now! Have you two settled in your new surroundings? Can't believe it's already been a year!

by terrio at 08/12/09 8:57PM
What classes are you taking?

by terrio at 08/13/09 9:05PM
Did you guys decide to worship with the Oak Ridge group?

by kevin at 09/01/09 9:02PM
I wish we could be in town when you are here

by emilygraham at 09/02/09 5:18PM

I'm married:)

at 08/25/08 7:28PM

Things have changed since my last post! Brandon and I got married on August 9th and it was so much fun! We went to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for our honeymoon and stayed in a really nice cabin. :)
We moved to Memphis, TN and Brandon has started pharmacy school at UT. He has been in school for a week and it's going pretty well! :) I got a job at a daycare that's a little less than a mile away, which is wonderful. I am still waiting for my background check to come back and then I'll be able to start. :)
We have been visiting at the Bartlett church here and they have done a great job of making us feel like family.
Today we had to have some one come get two live birds out of our chimney. It was pretty cool because we had to close all the curtains and open the door and then he opened the little door in the chimney and one of them flew out. Then, when he was about to clean out the fireplace, he heard another one and then out he flew! haha:)
That's about all of the excitement in our lives right now. ha Well, I hope that everyone is doing well!:)

I use photobucket.com and then just post the html codes. Hope that helps.

by pettymama at 08/26/08 7:22PM
Nope. I just got here on Friday. I was there Sunday, though. And I'll be there tomorrow if you decide it appropriate to visit again. :]

by raecharles2006 at 08/26/08 8:19PM
What beautiful pics! Your dress was gorgeous! As were you! :]
I'll give you a call whenever I get some free time ... when do you work?

by raecharles2006 at 08/27/08 9:37AM
Awwww!

by simon_says at 08/27/08 10:14AM
Great pics!! Your parents haven't changed at all :)

by pettymama at 08/27/08 12:14PM
Great pictures- you looked beautiful!!

by ktjb17 at 09/03/08 5:41PM
i'm sorry ... i've been ssooo busy looking for a job and haven't found anything yet. it's getting super stressful, but i'm doing all i can. i'll call you as soon as i have money to do something! i PROMISE! :]

by raecharles2006 at 09/15/08 10:02PM
I'm sure he'll get the chance to see what it is like on his rotations, but he could probably get something part-time in a hospital if he'd like to check it out

by mrs_poochie at 10/03/08 6:34PM
lol too many women together = drama? since when haha. And yeah I'm going to try to make a deposit on that puppy tomorrow. When I do get the puppy....remind Brandon when you guys come over that he isn't allowed to pet it, talk to it, or if it whines in the crate kick it lol. This is suppose to be my future competition dog and it has to be focused on me only, and can't be bullied at all before it's mentally mature. And as for christmas I don't want anything lol, and I mean that.

by svetter at 10/29/08 11:04PM
most likely bowling green! I like those pictures! How is married life?

by adwestphal at 11/08/08 8:59PM

Thanks, I'm kinda partial to them.

by racheldean at 01/12/09 5:44PM
I'm glad I was able to! I'm glad he's doing okay; I hope he feels better!

by lucystheboss at 02/08/09 1:00PM

I love the time of the year when the bulletin board at church is exploding with Gospel Meeting announcements! Eastside's meeting was a great week and I'm so thankful I was able to make it to every lesson! :) So if there are meetings going on around you, go! :) It's encouraging and helpful for you and everyone else!

Planning for the wedding has become so much fun! :) I'm getting really excited about it and I'm thrilled that so many people are willing to help! My mom has been amazing and I'd pretty much be lost right now without her help on this! Our engagement announcement was in the paper today! If you get the paper and think about it, save it for us please!:) Brandon and I go for our first Premarital Counseling session with the Bains on Thursday! :-D

School is almost over...hard to believe. It's going to be the best semester for me! I've had most all education classes and they are SO much fun. It's a lot easier to do well at something if you enjoy it! :)

Ben Williamson preached at Eastside tonight and I'm pretty sure he stepped on everyone's toes. Thanks Ben! Let's remember to follow Jesus' example and not give into temptation!
-"Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" -Matt. 4:10

Yay for Ben stepping on toes :)

by thearteest at 04/14/08 7:23AM
We don't get the paper. I wonder if it is on bgdailynews.com

by mrs_poochie at 04/14/08 9:41AM
Agreed. lol. ;) "At first when I heard Jason was leaving, I was sad. But then I thought, BIG WHOOP!!!" rofl. ;)

by titansfan0827 at 04/14/08 4:00PM
it was good to see you last week! :)

by hannahrunswithendurance at 06/02/08 3:50PM
Only a few days away - I know you are excited!

by emilygraham at 08/05/08 10:10PM
oh I'll be there!

by adwestphal at 08/06/08 2:18PM
we don't talk about it - he said something a few weeks ago about not wanting to so we talked it up and said that his friends would want to do it and he hasn't said much since. All else fails I have bribery that I will bring with me!

by emilygraham at 08/06/08 2:19PM
the other day he was calling it ringmaster - ha ha

by emilygraham at 08/06/08 2:19PM
Just a couple more days! Hope all goes well and you have a blast!! What's your new last name going to be?

by simon_says at 08/07/08 3:32PM
Today's the day!!!! Congrats!!

by tu_madre at 08/10/08 8:49PM

I've been praying for God to give me patience with planning the big day and He is definitely helping me! :) We decided on a place today and it's beautiful! We're planning on having the wedding and reception in the Kentucky Room in the Kentucky Museum on campus. :) We ordered bridesmaid fabric and Brandon & I are going to take care of tux rentals tomorrow morning! :)

Tonight before Briana and I ate, she said the prayer for the first time and my heart smiled!:) She's such a blessing!
I hope everyone is doing well and making good choices. I remind my kids at the daycare to do that a lot...hehe:)

Eastside's meeting starts Sunday with Andy Diestelkamp. The meeting time for Sunday is 10:25 and 3:00, Monday through Friday is 7. I'm really looking forward to an encouraging week and hope to see you all there!:)

Your getting married on our anniversary :)

by pettymama at 03/28/08 9:51PM
The KY museum is cool!

by desi at 03/28/08 9:58PM
I've been meaning to tell you . . . I think Marta has the arch, I asked her about it and she said she'd see that it finds its way to you.

by mrs_poochie at 03/28/08 11:06PM
I guess having it at the Museum takes care of food too if you have it, because you have to cater through aramark if you decide to have food. Becca and Philip Williams got married there and I was in their wedding... VERY pretty place!! good choice.

by snugglebug at 03/29/08 9:11PM
I think my cousin got married there!

by fiddle_girl994 at 03/29/08 10:43PM
i got married in a gazebo at the park. it was ghetto-fabulous (-:

by tu_madre at 03/30/08 8:30AM
what color is the wedding? did you have a hard time finding a dress? :) so exciting!!

by kiss_the_rain at 03/31/08 12:07PM
it is SO hard to find a modest dress!! I had straps/back added to mine.

by kiss_the_rain at 03/31/08 10:01PM
oh congrats on your upcoming wedding! yeh ive entered the stressful phase of planning as well. but itll all be worth it!

by southern_gal87 at 04/03/08 7:50PM
i wish i could come to the meeting but i have to work every night. :'(

by sherbear at 04/06/08 9:15PM

if i had a nickel for everytime i have said "august 9th" i'd probably be able to pay for the wedding by now!

at 03/13/08 10:29PM

I've decided that planning for a wedding is actually pretty fun, even though it's pretty stressful. :) A lot of things have kind of come together this week-yay!:)
We have bridesmaids(heather humphrey-jennifer beckham-briana brumit-jennifer greenlee), groomsmen(zach couchman-eric huggins-daniel lankford-jesse lanning), ushers(brian frizzell&?), a ring bearer(tyler, my favorite little boy at work), and a flower girl(grace, brandon's sweet little niece)
My dress came in today and I like it-a lot! :)
We're meeting with our photographer tomorrow
We're meeting with a baker tomorrow
We have a sound guy!-Mr. Metzger
I'm pretty sure I found our caterer today
I'm pretty sure I found the best deal for tux rentals
I have the patterns and started looking for bridesmaid/flower girl fabric
We have a preacher-Mr. Bain
Brandon and I booked the cabin for our honeymoon
Yay!:)
If anyone has any hot tips for planning a wedding on a budget, be my friend please! :)
Brandon and I are going to Dickson for the weekend so please keep us in your prayers! Remember to keep God first! :)

you are doing so good!!!! i'm so glad you got a dress! i love you! have fun in dickson

by ktjb17 at 03/13/08 10:51PM
Get your bulk finger food at Sam's, the tobacco cloth can be ordered through Dennis Williams where he works or at any farm supply store usually.

by nana_h at 03/14/08 8:05AM
glad it is coming together - Thanks for asking Tyler - I hope he does well.

by emilygraham at 03/14/08 11:12AM
