New Blog

I started a new blog for Brian and I to write all about our new life together.

emilyandbrianmontierth.blogspot.com

I'll probably be blogging more there than I will here... So if you wanna keep up with my life, probably check out the new blog. :)

Just excited!

I know I'm probably getting really annoying... but that's okay because you only have to deal with it for...

ONE MORE WEEK!

Well, I've moved on from the nervous-excited freak-out stage. I am now just excited. I'm not nervous at all. Just excited. SO VERY VERY VERY EXCITED! I have a huge smile on my face as I'm typing this! My best friend is coming home! It's really almost over! It's almost OVER! :D

I'm so happy! I'm nearly bursting! I can't imagine how I'm going to feel when I see his smiling face! GAH! I'm SO EXCITED!

Just 7 more days! THAT'S ALL! :D

Next Friday Brian's plane flies in at 8:40 PM. I won't be at the airport waiting for him. Just his family. But that's okay. His family is taking him right to the Stake President to get him released and after that they are bringing Brian back to the house... where I will be waiting all by my lonesome probably going insane waiting for him to walk through that front door....

AHHHH! I'm just EXCITED! :D

Unreal

It's November.

That's unreal.

11 days left.

That's unreal.

I know my blog is a little boring lately... but I just don't have much to say. I'm in a daze, as I mentioned in a previous post, and well, I haven't been able to blog about much else. Haha.

Soon, my friends. So very, very soon!

Anxious

Well, my friends, I am a mess.

Just imagine this picture with even more red dots... and it's me.

Want to know what happens when I get stressed out?

Yep. And I'm in the middle of an extreme break-out right now. It's ridiculous, really.

2 1/2 weeks. That's just 17 days until Brian is home. I'm freaking out here. FREAKING out.

The suspense is killing me... and I'm walking around in a daze.

I'm so excited. I can't even stand it. GAH! SO CLOSE!

Thanksgiving and such

I just have to say...

I'm so EXCITED! Larsen Family Thanksgiving/Christmas party this year at the lodge! I can't wait to see family! Some I haven't seen for years! :) Every time I think about it... I just have to smile so big. I'm just... really excited. Haha! AND Brian will be coming with me to meet everyone. :) :) :)

And that reminds me. 21 days left-- that's just 3 weeks. I'm not going to lie. I'm starting to freak out just a bit. Anxiety to the max. Don't get me wrong... I'm not having second thoughts about my feelings for Brian or anything. Haha! Not at all. I'm so excited for him to finally be home! It's just.... and this is going to sound strange probably.... I've gotten comfortable with being alone... I've been so independent... and... I've grown to like it. I like being just... me, by myself. Yeah, I don't know if that's quite it. I can't really explain it. But I do know despite embracing my independence, I still have felt like part of me is missing. I'm not quite complete without Brian. Yeah... I'm probably not making much sense. Sorry. Haha. So many weird emotions... still trying to figure it out. All in good time, I suppose. And that's fine with me. Haha.

Some More Eternal Perspective

"A few years ago, we knew our Elder Brother and his and our Father in heaven well. We rejoiced at the upcoming opportunity for earthly life that could make it possible for us to have a fullness of joy as they had. We could hardly wait to demonstrate to our Father and our Brother, the Lord, how much we loved them and how we would be obedient to them in spite of the earthly opposition of the evil one. And now we're here--our memories are veiled--and we're showing God and ourselves what we can do. Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father and how familiar his face is to us. . . . God loves us, he's watching us, he wants us to succeed, and we'll know someday that he has not left one thing undone for the eternal welfare of each of us. If we only knew that there are heavenly hosts pulling for us--friends in heaven, whom we can't remember now, who yearn for our victory. This is our day to show what we can do--what life and sacrifice we can daily, hourly, instantly bring to God. If we give our all, we will get his all from the greatest of all.
