***NEW BLOG SITE***

Hi followers!

This is to inform you that all my future postings will be on a different site. I failed to follow directions and my blog must be on Tumblr. Whoops! I have made a new blog and here is the link...

So please follow this new site because this is where you will read my future adventures!

THANK YOU!

Love, Emily

See ya later, Kearney!

How is it almost Christmas? I can surely tell you I am beyond happy the semester is over! It was a busy one..

Recapping on my semester:

August was exciting because my brother turned 30 and school was starting. I always love making a new routine and seeing new faces in my classes but then after the first couple weeks it's not as fun anymore (go figure!)

September was busy because it was gift time at Lancôme and I didn't get a weekend off to go home. I went out with some friends, had fun, and made some memories. 

October was of course busy with midterms and tedious school work but for some reason I really enjoyed this month. I have always liked October because of the amazing weather, pumpkins, Huskers football, and Halloween!

November was fun because my mommy turned 50! I finally got to see my best friends to catch up and share some laughs. Oh yeah, work got busy with the holidays and I worked my first Black Friday.......I hate retail.

And finally, December. I love the Christmasy spirit and decorations more every year. I was relieved to finally finish my classes, especially calculus, and be done! Before I know it next semester will be here and I'll be in Ireland. Where has time gone?

Tonight is my last night in Kearney until May. It is such a bittersweet feeling and kind of makes me a little emotional! I will miss my bed! However, I can't wait to go home, celebrate with my family, and relax before my journey begins. 

Here is a collage of some of my favorite pictures from this past semester...

Reality Is Setting In..

UPDATE:

Since finding out we could not travel as a group to Ireland, I decided to talk with a friend, Danielle, about flying together. Thankfully she was all for it! We have been looking at flights and prices for the past couple weeks and we set a date to purchase our tickets. Danielle and I also decided we would go a day early, explore the surrounding sights, and stay in a hotel. 

A couple days ago we finally purchased our tickets! We depart around 9 AM from Omaha, have one stop in Newark, and off we go on a night flight to Ireland. The hotel we booked is called the Shannon Court Hotel and it is absolutely adorable. Google it! 

I am so happy to share this experience with you and hope you are enjoying it in return. My dreams are slowly being pursued, one step at a time.

Love, Emily

What have I been doing???

Hello! I have missed you...

As you can see, it has been a very long time since my last post. Why? Well, I will be completely honest and tell you that I have had better things to do than write things nobody really cares about! However, things are changing in my life and I will be on my computer more within the next few months. Let me explain..

I am going to get into blogging again as a daily/weekly thing again because I want to be in a good habit come January....

**BIG NEWS**

The reason why I want to become a true blogger is because I'm studying in IRELAND next semester. Yes, you read that correctly. I am the last person you'd think would go away for 3 1/2 months...am I right? Well, let me explain..

I can tell I have matured through the past year and I know a big part of this is because I had to stay in Kearney all summer do to work. I feel a lot better and more confident about myself because of this. There is a lot more growth to be done as I am only 20, and I want to grow up the ''right'' way. For example, I want to be a good influence and a person that someone can look up to. I have chosen to study abroad because I know it will help me grow and see life in a different perspective and of course to see the beautiful country of Ireland.

Now, I want to bring you along on this journey and you can live vicariously through me if you wish. I will let you know everything from how I am feeling, what I am seeing, how I am eating, and of course what I am wearing!!!!

For now, I will leave you with this..

p.s. Happy Halloween!!

Love, Emily
