July recap: PART I

- to start of the month, I take sibling JOSH on a last minute backpacking adventure; planned the night before. No permits were even reserved (oops) Gobble gobble is what we call it. We found 2 friends who let us use their group site. We also found out we must come back to do emerald ridge hike

- josh tried to convince me to not sunset hike but we did 1000+ elevation within 2 miles 2x on July 3. I was so proud of him. Funny moment was hiking down and making dog shadows with our hands and Josh starts growling like a dog to add to my digicam footage and then we realize… oh shoot our friends in front of us might think there’s an actual bear if we keep growling

February 9; 2025

We spend a girls day with the sweetest of gals playing mermaids, drawing rainbows, and calling each other stinky monkey poopy poo. Again… time flies. My friends are getting engaged having babies I can’t believe getting older feels so fast. It’s so beautiful and being in the moment appreciative of it all. Thankful for my friends for letting me be apart of their lives.

Nika and I cuddle up for the Super Bowl barely caring trying to figure out the rules and only watching the commercials. A lovely girls chat about boys’ was so needed —I promised them I would go to the rock climbing gym and report my findings

I don’t even know, october - december, 2017????

Obviously screw the idea of trying to catch up. Last three months have been crazy and went faster than all the rest. How was I ever so consistent????? This still remains the best idea I’ve had. The countless times I’ve scrolled back and read every single caption. It’s the little moments and quotes people have said- that I never want to forget. “This is for my tumblr” was definitely the number one phrase of 2017. I remember looking forward to see what others who kept 365day accounts had done. It was all like our own little personal photo albums.

anyway looking back at 2017.. It wasn’t one like Indyblue, but whatever mine was pretty good too. Made a list of some, (the good and the bad): - I finally got my license and a car. Yeah I know.. my spoiled ass is blessed. - me and julia became closer through photo booth sessions during our no homework done study halls. - girls had won their first playoff bball game in early 2017 - My music taste improved, thank goodness. - Moved into our Black Diamond home to live with the bears - Surprised myself and got into a relationship - Friends and I successfully completed a day trip to Portland and visited multomomomo falls - Sure, band trip was fun and all, but then I lost my phone so that’s whack. I did not find it. - Got third in long jump, again. - Swam in the ocean in MAY, and 10 seconds later after getting out..we spot a whale. - Ahhhhhh, I finally got a dog!!!! - My best friend left the continent & ME for the summer. :( - karina, nika and I became closer by spreading the soap lake mud shit each other - Actually catching a wave during bball trip @ the many times we went swimming in the numbing ocean. - Proudest achievement was getting two kills against EWU college players. - Obviously how could I not mention jumping off a 50 foot cliff - Broke off a relationship - Friends and I take a five hour roadtrip, (me driving!) that all of us would remember forever - Scraped the car of an old lady. - Coached my first team! - me, julia, and Anders become the solid three best friends - Planned a very successful jsb - Lost by one point to Portland for championship during fall classic. but made history by winning third! - My phone was found, 6 months later. And returned to me from idaho - WE WENT TO STATE FOR VOLLEYBALL AND WON THE FIRST STATE GAME FOR ANY ADVENTIST SCHOOL. OH AND WIAA POSTED A PICTURE OF US?!? that felt so good to say. best experience by far. - Ended the year undefeated in basketball. For both teams!

my heart is very happy. 2017 was a huge year of change and sports success. But 2018…… i cannot wait. In a few months, I’ll be on a boat in Venice. In Italy. With a bunch of best friends. Also plans of revisiting my homeland… It’s going to be one hell of a year…. and I’m capturing it all one a new account @2018withemi !

october 6, 2017: (fall classic friday games)

The Scott Schafer himself talked to me and Jordan on this day.

highlight was winning Portland with an out. everyone went crazy. but then it happened once again. Catching up and losing by two. we were so close. but hey you learn from it. Yes I completely broke down after that game. Oh well, we all know the championship game was boring to watch.

friday night after vespers just included walking around campus with coach telling stories of his dumb college experiences. We recreated the Beatles also (not pictured.)

then comes the long story of how I accidentally locked myself out of the dorm room at night. but that's too long to type out......

october 4-5, 2017: (fall classic night & day one)

ok well I’m writing this like a month later so..

I can’t count the amount of times the climb and beautiful soul was sung in super off tune country voices. (Maybe just mine was off tune)

our team huddle the first night was one not a single girl on the team will forget. we cried. We laughed. and we ended on a go sharks with beaming smiles for one another.

I still didn't learn my lesson on bringing a big suitcase and lucky me the walla walla elevator was broken. I made about 9 rounds of going up and down the stairs. Oh and our room was the last floor up. Nice. Maybe next year I won't overpack...

we won every game except for wwva, although it was pretty equal .. I mean we were ahead at some points.. but the real game was against San Gabriel. Psaa sharks is known for crazy comebacks and this was definitely one of them. I. Love. My. Team.

october 1-2, 2017: these two days I’ll always remember. I’ll remember the first two people that wished me a happy birthday. love you guys… the sweetest thing... my parents threw a small lil party after the game (that we won!). I don’t deserve any of it at all. their love for me is beyond anything I could ever have asked for. - coming from the terrible daughter that gets a speeding ticket and scrapes the car. love you both. the best feeling is your first family and second family singing you a happy birthday… unexplainable really. thankful for 17 years.

yes I looked like a complete boy when I was little apparently.

and I have not changed at all from last year ....... well

september 29-30, 2017: a period of time where every night the sunsets were crazy oh yeah…. I remember I got a speeding ticket on one of these nights. I will admit, the officer was hot. I also remember karina got lice I think she spread it to all the ladies at the church

september 22, 2017: super long day

[healingsuggestions]

you are constantly creating yourself through memories and experiences so just remember that when you make your decisions. be the person you know you are, take care of yourself and give yourself the love you need. it’s all inside of you, all the love you need is inside of you. we all are just trying to find it within ourselves, it’s there…just keep up the soul searching.
