Howdy! My name is Jenn and I met this crazy girl named Emily almost 13 years ago. We were potluck roomies at Texas A&M University (whoop!) in the fall of 2003. We started out a little slow as friends, plastering our walls with our "real" friends from high school and reminiscing about how cool were once were. We couldn't be more different in some ways....I called her before school started to try to get her to color coordinate our bedspreads....and she definitely used a blanket as curtains on her side of the room....She took me out of my shell and I reigned her in. Best friends in the making. 13 years later, 2 weddings, and 3 babies later, we are still best friends even from 1,000 + miles apart.
I married the Best Man as the Maid of Honor in one of my best friend's weddings. We have been married for 3 years, have a lab/pitbull mix named Abby, and a brand new sweet baby boy named Knox. I'm a newly working momma, a Speech Therapist at a children's hospital. I love my job and have a passion of people with disabilities. I've traveled to Africa 4 times to establish a speech therapy program there!

Meet Emily
Hi! My name is Emily and that up there is my family. Before there was my family there was that one fateful day at Texas A&M when Jenn and I met for the first time as potluck roomies living in FHK (you Aggies know). There was a moment, a brief second when we both stared at each other wondering if we would fall into the category of "worst roommate" stories. Turns out she was the best roommate for 4 years and also my polar opposite (disciplined, studious, had her life together, etc). We would have no idea that the next 10+ years would be full of classes, practical jokes, tears, laugh to tears, vacations, roomies again after college, weddings, and now babies. But I'm sure we will walk down memory lane a time or two here on this blog.
Back to my family. RD and I met in Dallas playing frisbee. Fell in love and married in Austin on a warm December day in 2011. We moved to Madison, Wisconsin the summer of 2012 where RD works as a teaching pastor. On New Years Day of 2014 we met our identical twin daughters Maisie and Camille. (I'll go ahead and answer your curiosity- yes they were a spontaneous surprise, yes we can tell them apart.) I am a stay at home mom, SAHM from here on out, but I'll never type LO to refer to my "little one". You're welcome. Before my new career as Sherpa to Maisie and Camille, I put my marketing degree to good use in the business world. I worked at a small start up company in Dallas for three years that resembled The Office and then did one year of marketing in Madison before the twins were born. Once the twins are a little older, I look forward to volunteering in low income communities with women and children. My dream would be to start a program like GAIA Empowered Women.
Hope you enjoy reading whatever it is that ends up on this blog. :)
