Friendsgiving

The Sunday before Thanksgiving our friends Jewels, Nat and whit threw a Friendsgiving dinner for everyone at their house. Everyone had to dress up either as a pilgrim or Indian, so I put on my feather headdress I made two years ago for Halloween. The food was delicious; turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, salad, rolls, it was a full on Thanksgiving dinner! Before we feasted we read a passage from the bible (the bible we read from was massive!) and then held hands and said grace. All of the pictures were provided by Jewels and Nat and you can get to their blog here. I love living in Logan.

The wonderful ladies who threw the party

I always knew you two were best friends

If there is one person Karli hates, its Anne Hathaway.

So the only reasonable thing to do was to create a picture of them two together.

(Karli even carved a cat in honor of Anne's upcoming role in Batman as Catwoman!)

Pure bliss.

The dating life of Emily...

Is unreal.

Some of my first dates have consisted of the boy doing a somersault, talking about his calculator, wanting to have a tickle fight and my all time favorite a blind date where the kid did not say one word to me... not one word.

But I don't think anything can top this.

Because then there is the other side, me. I'm positive that all the boys who I have gone on dates with could make a similar list like the one above of weird stupid things I have done and said.

Exhibit A: At the beginning of this year my good friend Dustin and I went on a date. I made a fool of myself within the first 2 minutes, not even 2 minutes probably in the first minute of the date. (While typing this I just found myself slapping my forehead because I'm so embarrassed to even be telling this story). Anyways he comes and picks me up and as we are pulling out of my driveway he says, "So this is where you live huh?" Thinking I'm all clever I come back with, "Yep.. this is my turf!" I could have just stopped right there and not have said anything else and would have be fine. But no, I'm an idiot. As we are rounding the corner out of my neighborhood I decide to top it off with, "There's lots of cats on this street...lots and lots of cats."It went silent, there was not a cat in sight. Why did those words leave my mouth? Why? I have never made that comment before in my life, I thought I was going to wet my pants. That comment has cost me millions, no but I swear it's always a conversation starter. My mom is always looking for opportunities where I can tell this story.

At the beginning of October Dustin and my friends Mallory and Brittany came up to Logan to celebrate my birthday one last time. We were all standing in Anna's room (including Morgan) when I notice all of them are wearing zip up jackets. One of them says, "Emily isn't it kind of hot in here?" Then they all proceeded to unzip there jackets and revealed THIS...

LOTS AND LOTS OF CATS

Yes... Dustin designed and ordered these shirts and distributed them to all our friends. Believe it or not there is even one in San Francisco. You can read more about this on Mallory's blog. Oh the Wilson family, you are with out a doubt the funniest family I know.

This is my life.
