I'm going to be an aunt.
That's pretty exciting.

And my pregnant sister in law is coming down.
That's pretty exciting.

And lectures is this week.
That's pretty exciting.

:)

It's MORE than pretty exciting! IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Exciting! Congratulations Auntie Em! Love you!

congrats!

Aunthood is the best :) Congratulations.

by kayleigh at 01/31/10 9:15PM
Aunthood shouldn't feel any different....should it? It doesn't technically change YOU at all, right?

by stranger_yet at 01/31/10 9:19PM
No way! so congrats! :)
I cant wait to be an aunt...

by click at 01/31/10 9:40PM
I'm coming down with what? Pregnancy is not an illness.

by sunshinelove05 at 01/31/10 10:06PM
I wouldn't know about being an aunt...I have yet to be in that particular situation.

by smallgreenbug at 02/01/10 1:47AM
Wahoo!!

by jlmanager at 02/01/10 9:05AM
I've been an aunt since I was 9 years old - it's fun :) Now I'm a great-aunt 3-times over!

by tia at 02/01/10 11:59PM
I'm probably never gonna be an aunt. Strangely enough, this thought does not upset me in the least. :)

by dwatkins at 02/02/10 2:34PM

"Step one, you say 'we need to talk'...."

at 12/18/09 8:41PM

Break is here! I always miss my friends from FC who are gone, and I have more school things to do, of course, but not having math homework for a month is lovely :)

Of course, It's a week before Christmas, and Florida forgot that Christmas is technically supposed to be chilly. This week it's been in the 80's. I'm not a fan. It's supposed to cool down this weekend, though. And I'm storing up the warmth for next Saturday when we drive to Indiana :)

Lord willing, Micah, Ben, and I will get to go to the Fishers' John study and then I'll be going to see my lovely cousins in Louisville, and THEN I'm going to see my favorite sister and my brother in Chicago. (I know, I'll freeze.) I am SO excited. It'll be lovely :)

I love Christmas music and lights and shopping, so I'm enjoying this fun season :)

I could use some prayers that I'll be able to encourage and help people who are struggling right now. I won't explain, but I could use some prayers. :)

I think that's about it. :)

Merry Christmas!

-Em

I always hate when people tell me "We need to talk." Percent chance that it's somehow negative? 85% -.-

by stranger_yet at 12/18/09 9:13PM
Have a great, blessed break! Tell the Fishers I said hi!

by sr15min at 12/18/09 9:52PM
Will definitely keep you in my prayers.

Just posted pictures of our snowfall on my blog! Wish you all here to enjoy it with me. :)

by laurar209 at 12/19/09 12:14PM
Travel safe and have a great time!! I'll keep you in prayer.

by aprilstarr at 12/19/09 1:28PM
You've got prayers! I love you quite alot, Miss Emma!

by heidiw at 12/19/09 4:45PM
wow, that is quite a lot of traveling. be safe and stuff.
hey ryan- sit down, it's just a talk.

by humankumquat at 12/23/09 11:04AM
Hey Emma, just on, just reading, and thinking I bet you aren't too hot these days! I keep hearing about chilly Florida and worrying about strawberries freezing and cold orange trees... hugs to you all.

by mr_and_mrs_berry at 01/08/10 3:48PM
I LOVE YOU GIRL ILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU MUAH BABE

Ok, this is officially an old blog. It needs either
a) to be refrigerated
b) to be updated.

hehe! :) Tell your mom I said hi. Will I see you in May???

by mayflower at 01/25/10 11:26PM
Sadly I won't be able to. I am starting at a new school and need to be here for my courses. Hopefully sometime in the future I will get a chance.

"Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders, these twists and turns of fate."

at 10/06/09 11:49AM

I feel like my life is kind of too lame for Pleonast updates. Not boring, but nothing CRAZY is going on that deserves sharing.

School is really really busy but I'm almost to the point of being completely done with last year's work so I can just focus on this year and get a good schedule going.

Mom's back from TN and I don't have to get up at a completely ridiculous hour every day this week like I did last week.

Plant City's Gospel Meeting is next week with H.E. "Buddy" Payne and I think it will be great. Anyone in Florida should come.

My friend/future roommate Molly turned 18 on Sunday. WEIRD. That means I'll be 18 in just a few months. Which just seems really old to me. I feel like 18 means I'll magically get smart and wise and wrinkled. But I know that's all false.

That's about it. Went to see Forever Plaid at FC and it was stellar. My seester gets to see Colbie Caillat tomorrow in concert and I don't. I'm sad.

Peace and Love.

Emma

Yeah. If 18 is old, I must be ancient. Emma, Emma. You make me smile. :)

by heidiw at 10/06/09 2:51PM
You are too pale to ever get wrinkles.

by sunshinelove05 at 10/06/09 2:52PM
Emma, you have a lovely life :). Just wait till you're 21 or 22 and find your first gray hair haha.

by celticgirl1787 at 10/06/09 5:19PM
Emma, I love your profile pic! :D

by stranger_yet at 10/06/09 5:36PM
:)

by dwatkins at 10/06/09 7:33PM
I remember her and her graduation speeches and how they thought 18 and graduation were the magical steps towards "being" wise as opposed to steps on the ever lengthening journey of "becoming" wise. Me, I'm now old enough to accept the lost cause! (becoming or being! wise!) You are beautiful with your wrinkles :)

by mr_and_mrs_berry at 10/06/09 8:31PM
18. 18!

by lynny at 10/06/09 9:14PM
you get Buddy Payn! that is awesome.

by redmustang at 10/07/09 11:10AM
Maybe I'll send you a copy of my high school graduation speech. It was about all the ideas we have as children about what we will be like when we get to 18 years old (I wasn't 18 yet, but was graduating and going to be 18 in a couple of months), and how life really works.

by august28rose at 10/07/09 12:23PM
I remember thinking that Meghan magically turned smarter and everything (minus the wrinkles) when she hit 18; I seriously thought it might happen to me. Well, I guess it worked out part way... I found the eye-wrinkles but the wisdom is still awfully elusive.

by laurar209 at 10/07/09 3:18PM
Wrinkled at 18? Yikes... =) I just turned 18 a couple months ago, nothing really special. although it does kinda make me feel more "significant", if that makes sense ;)

by kaylah2010 at 10/17/09 12:15AM
Hey .. so I like your profile picture!! haha

by nanna at 10/20/09 10:36AM
bahaha - I'm nannying and my little charge loves your link for "Best Song" She is trying to figure out what is going on ...lol

by nanna at 10/20/09 10:39AM
I agree that it should be out of a sign of respect for God. Thanks, I appreciate it!

lol, yeah, I was really interested to see what Stefan would say.

by mrsfionacharming at 10/21/09 10:17PM
I agree. Honestly, one of the reasons that I didn't wear a covering before was that I was afraid it would be more of a distraction to myself and everyone else, and I didn't want to bring attention to it. In regards to keeping quiet in the assembly, when we first moved to Florida and went to Cork there were several women there who would speak up during announcements, but since we've been there several years, the elders have started asking for any announcements from *men rather than the entire assembly. And, also, at Cork my mom is the only one who wears a head covering during the prayer.

by mrsfionacharming at 10/23/09 9:39AM
I really like that song. :)

by mayflower at 10/23/09 10:28AM
I agree that if you're convicted of it, it would be wrong to yourself not to wear one.

Thanks. :)

by mrsfionacharming at 10/24/09 9:24AM
yeah that's fine. im gonna wear a light green shirt and green eyeliner and eyeshadow. nothing too crazy but still fun. i'll see you tonight!!!

by bethels at 10/24/09 3:42PM
well it kinda fell apart. my sis needs me to do something with her so i guess you and your family can be the "gang!" sorry!!!!

by bethels at 10/24/09 4:50PM
tada!
there you have it

" That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him."

-1 John

You wrote that? Sweet.

Jen told me you listen to Iron & Wine? I just found out about them and bought a few of his songs. What do you like best of his? I'm thinking of getting a few more.

by dominic at 09/20/09 10:07PM
I have House By the Sea, Boy With A Coin, and Peace Beneath the City, which are all good.
