Harmless Prank :)

Saturday

September 17, 2011

Just walking around a cute store

with my cousins

when my phone vibrates.

4 new emails.

What the heck?

I almost wasn't going to open them

just thinking it was a photographer i have been emailing

for family pictures.

But I decided to open it anyways,

and sure enough it was my

Elder Shawn Larkin!!

I hurried outside to get better service.

and then we headed back immediately to

my cousins new apartment in Provo

to get on her laptop.

It was a much needed surprise!

I needed to hear from him that day.

This is why he emailed early:

It was Independance Day in Chile on Sunday

and the office was going to be closed Monday

so he had his Pday Saturday instead!

It was so fabulous to hear from him

and it definitely made me love him

a million times more;

I did something mean to him tho...

I thought it would be funny to play a harmless trick on him.

I told him I cut my hair.

His reply:

How short?!?!?!?!

I sent him this picture.

(no worries its a wig)

His reply to the picture:

"oh my goodness what freaking happened?! did you have to get it cut short? are you going to grow it back out?!?! You still look freaking gorgeous though!"

I laughed so hard.

He's such a liar. It is NOT cute.

hahaha.

I then told him it was a wig and not to worry.

His reply:

"hahaha welll!!!!!!!! even if you were bald i would love you so much!!!!! and still think you are the most gorgeous thing ever!!! but i freaking love you long hair, like my gosh i LOVE YOUR HAIR so it made me sad when you said you cut it!!! haha"

Isn't that the cutest thing ever?!

I sure do love him!

He knows I would never cut my hair tho.

Even heaven knows I would never cut my hair.

Even though it was so good to hear from him

on Saturday;

it's 9 days now that we have to go without

talking to each other.

It's okay though.

I'm lucky to even be able to hear from him once a week.

I love him so much.

Never too old for love.

I saw this video

and I laughed so hard.

This is how me and my husband better be

when we are old. :)

I love the elderly so much!!

Update.

3 months down today 

21 more to go!!

Shawn loves Chile.

He is having so much fun there!

He loves his companion

Elder Huerta

from Austin Texas.

They get along so well!

Shawn is really enjoying th food,

the people there are so nice to him,

and he is teaching a few people!

Shawn told me a story about a member

him and his companion visit and eat lunch with.

When they go over there to eat,

they always feed them so much food.

Shawn always feels bad that he is taking their food

because they dont have much.

(sweetheart)

But you have to eat everything off your plate

or they think that you don't like it

Anyways,

as the members were serving Shawn

they said;

"We want to give you all we have

because its like we are serving the Savior.

You guys are the closest thing to the Savior,

you wear his name on your name tag everyday."

I'm so proud of Shawn and the man he is becoming!

Every monday when we email,

he seems so happy and his love for this gospel

grows every week.

I can see a change in him every week.

I like this change!

No,

I love this change.

He is becoming the man of my dreams.

I love him so much<3

The Story.

Another blog post I found on google.

The Story.

I was just an ordinary girl, trying to get by in her Junior Year.

I had many friends and didnt really care to have a boyfriend.

I was sitting in class one day, talking to a friend about some boy named "Shawn Larkin".

She showed me pictures, I thought he was really cute.. but off limits.

The funny part about the whole thing.. I went to Jr High and High School with him,

but never saw him in my life.

A few days later, November 8, 2009, this "Shawn Larkin" fellow added me on Facebook.

I hesitated to accept him, but I did.

I wrote him an email. Telling him "Thanks for the add, you're really cute" all that

first-conversation-stuff.

We got talking, exchanged numbers and four days later

November 11, 2009 (11/11)

He came to my house.

Oh my goodness, I thought he was so cute! I couldn't believe someone as charming as him

was actually walking through my house.

The day went on, and it was as if we have been best friends our whole life.

This friend I had that told me about him told me..

"He has no emotion. He never smiles. He never even laughs. In fact, he never even takes girls on dates".

And whats so funny about that statement?

As we went about our first day of hanging out,

we laughed uncontrollably;

smiled til our cheeks hurt;

and he asked me on a date. :)

Ever since that day;

we would text 24/7

we hung out every day

and soon enough, after 2 months of trying his hardest

January 24, 2010

I became his girlfriend.

I was never seen without him. Where ever I went, it was always

"There's Emily and Shawn".

He changed my life in ways I didnt think were possible.

He became my absolute best friend.

He got me through the hardest times in my life. Losing my grandma, drama with friends.

He was and still is my biggest supporter in everything I do.

We did everything together.

Dirt biking, family parties, swimming, movie nights, birthday dates, dance competitions,

basketball games in my driveway,

graduations, summer nights, boating, skydiving, preparing for his mission;

Everything that happened in my life,

Shawn was there to help me get through it.

I could never thank him enough for everything he has done for me.

He is everything to me.

And I wouldn't trade him or our memories

for the world

Lucky Country.

This was one of the posts that I found.

Chile.

What a lucky country.

The best man in the world arrived there;

August 9, 2011.

He couldn't be more excited to leave the MTC

and finally arrive to the place that needs him most at this time.

He is going to bless

so many lives;

just like he has blessed mine.

I was listening to a song.

I was here-Lady Antebellum

and the chorus stuck out to me and fits perfectly for his situation.

I wanna do something that matters, say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better with the time I've been given
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less

than something that says

 I was here.

Knowing Shawn,

he is the most amazing man I have ever met.

He leaves long lasting impressions on everyone.

He is going to do an amazing job.

I couldn't be more proud of him.

And in 22 months,

when its time for him to leave,

he will

leave nothing less than something that says

he was there.

Now the fun begins,

and I can't WAIT to take on this journey with him.

and grow with him.

I can't wait to hear his stories;

watch him grow;

and love him more every single day.

I love you so much Elder Larkin! ♥

Lesson Learned.

Here's the story.

As you can tell

I have a new blog.

A week ago I decided to delete one of my gmail accounts

since I have two.

Not knowing which one to delete

I just randomly chose one.

Sure enough,

I deleted the account that was holding my blog.

I didnt know this until I went to view my blog

and a big box showed up on my page that said

This blog has been deleted.

My heart sank.

I stared at the screen for a minute

before tears started flooding my eyes.

"How could this happen to me?"

"How could I be so careless. I should of been more careful"

I did everything.

I filled out forms online to reactivate my account,

and google kept telling me that

I wasn't the account holder because my answers didnt match up

to the questions.

I was so frustrated.

I did this four times

and everytime they told me I wasn't right.

Fools.

For about 2 !/2 hours

I googled everything.

I then decided to call google.

and they also told me they couldn't do anything.

So..

I gave up.

You may be asking,

"Why is she making such a big deal over a stupid blog?!"

And you're right.

Its stupid to make a big deal over.

But this was my journal for the past three months of Shawn being gone.

I have every reason in the world to over react.

But on the bright side..

atleast this didnt happen a year or so into the waiting game.

So now onto the lesson learned.

NEVER trust the internet.

I am now printing and saving everything!

Because you never know what will be the next thing deleted.

Luckily,

this girl helped me find some of my blog posts from my old blog.

Maybe google isn't such a horrible thing afterall.

(hahaha)

And I will soon upload those posts in case any

of you want to read them.

Thanks for all your patience everyone.

Shawn is in Chile and absolutely loves it!

He is already the best missionary ever!!

I'll be posting again soon

because he sent pictures!!

I love him &hearts;
