Here are a few fun facts about me:
- I love the color pink (the brighter, the better)
- I love to work out, especially running, and ran my first half-marathon before turning 30 in September 2010
- In 2003 I found out a had a half sister, also named Emily, who contacted our Mom before she was getting married and now is part of our family. I am so lucky to have been able to develop a relationship with her and it's really a great story with a happy ending.
- I have an Exercise & Sports Science degree and went back to school to become a Health & PE teacher & get my Master's in Education. I look forward to working again after our kids are older.
- My husband is also a Health & PE teacher.
- I officiate Women's Lacrosse
- Black raspberry is my favorite ice cream.
- San Diego is my favorite place to visit and probably my favorite place ever!
- I always wanted to learn how to surf and finally taught myself in the summer of 2012. I'm hooked!
- I literally "bumped" into my (now) husband the night after Thanksgiving in my hometown. Turns out I had dated his best friend 5 years before and had never met Nick, my husband, until this night. I was finishing my last year of college that year and he told me to call him the next time I came back home. He called me 2 days later and we started dating...
- I love to write hand-written notes even if it's just a "thinking about you" note.
- I love organization and making to-do lists. Thank goodness for the 'notes' section on my iPhone.
- Summer is my favorite season & Christmas is my favorite holiday.
- I love to dance. I used to take hip hop classes in college. So fun!
