Well it's was just over a year ago that I made it to Malibu, the place that changed my life in so many ways. I'd really like to go back, but I don't know when that would ever happen... Without Malibu I would never have the relationship with God that I do now, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. It's so hard to believe that just over a year ago, on the 4th of July I was sharing my full testimony for the first time with the group... I can't think of a more freeing moment then that.
I miss it
.
God is now my number one. And I don't want to ever go back to how things were before that time. I just wish that everywhere could be my Malibu. And yes I guess I can make it like that, but finding that support system that I had there, that's the hard part. I have and hadn't been surrounded like that besides at Malibu. I mean, having over 40 people who truly care about you and love you with the love of God, that's intense. I have found a couple people like that sense, but not such a big group. Which I guess is quite hard to find in the "real world" but it sure would be nice.
Well besides remembering Malibu, I've just been hanging out these last few days, with some friends and such. I'm enjoying my summer and getting ready to really start work. Both at the preschool and Bath and Body Works.
That's about all that's going on in Emilie's life. Don't you feel all caught up?

A day in the life.
Alright blog world. I've been busy. Since my last update I have also gotten a second job working nights and weekends at Bath and Body Works. So pretty soon you will be able to come see me and buy good smelling lotions and the like. YAY! I have my training/orientation for that tomorrow.
Also, as many of you are my friends on facebook (at least.... I think you are?) you would know by now that my grandma isn't doing well, she fell and broke her hip on Saturday, went into surgery Sunday and my mom ended up there with my aunt and uncle Tuesday. I came downstairs Tuesday at 6:15 to my dad telling me my mom was going to drive up that night with my aunt. I started to help her pack and pretty soon she was on a 9:45 flight to WA. So I then packed her for that and she was out the door by 7. It was crazy. I miss her a lot. My grandma is still having some health issues and needed a second surgery and now we are mostly waiting to see how things go...
Now on a bright note from all of this. My grandpa's (he passed away when I was about four, but I have SO many good memories with him, even at that age) old truck that he used to tow his boats (he built boats) is up in WA. I have been in love with it since I was about 15 and saw it, my grandma has always said that if I could get it home it was mine. Well now my uncle has said that he will bring it down for me in a trailer. I am SO excited. I love this truck. I believe it's a '73 Chevy Cheyenne, but again, I haven't seen it in 3 years. It's a beautiful light blue color and I love it. I know it's going to need work, but I was talking about buying a used car as soon as I could anyways, so I'll just put that money into MY truck :)
So since my mom left I have been helping my dad with taking over the childcare, but I've also been getting out as much as I can. So I have been coming home late and waking up early, but I figure I'm just practicing for when I have a full time job, part time job and am a full time student who still wants to have a life. I mean that's totally possible, right? :) Guess we'll see. If you find a girl passed out in random places, sound asleep, it's probably me.

Even though tuna fish makes my jaw and mouth go numb, and also my stomach hurt, I still will eat it because I love it so much. Tuna casserole is probably one of my favorite foods. That I never get to eat...
