I always thought when I grew up I'd live in California by the ocean. Now I live in Texas, and I stay extremely busy as a Mommy/Domestic Goddess. I've always been very athletic, and as my Dad would say,"A natural athlete." I'm into sports, and I will do well if not completely & totally dominate. Just kidding, no really I will... However, I've never been particularly fond of chess, I never learned how to play. For some reason I'm a left handed pool player, & I am right handed. I'm pretty good, all thanks to Stephen Baldwin, ah ha ha!(Clicks in Tucson)Sometimes I wonder if I would have continued to dance or put all my focus in other sports other than cheer, I might have been... I wasn't going to have my daughter do cheer, it just sorta happened with her being around it all the time w/me & Billie. She loves it, and of course I'm supportive of that. I'm a certified coach with the National Youth Sports Coaches Association. We had so much fun when I coached for one of my daughter's cheer teams,and a couple of soccer teams as well. This past year I've slowly started easing up on some of that, but the past 3yrs that was a big part of my/our life. Come March 2009, we will have lived here for 4 yrs! I really do like it here, and it's a great family oriented community. Sometimes I miss the mountains, palm trees, hiking, mountain biking, and spending time in the variety of Arizona nature as well as the Pacific Ocean. I'm pretty down to earth & real, I can see right through the types of people who try to portray the perfect life, or "the keeping up w/the Jones types." I'm a human being, a normal housewife if you will, content with knowing this is as good as it gets & just waiting to die. j/k I will always try to be the best me I can, so that all in my life may benefit. No one is perfect, everyone has something-you know what I mean? Except maybe Billie, her flaw would be being too damn good. It's not as easy for me, I'm trying to be good, but just keep doing wrong. Oh Lord, have mercy. I'm confused w/adults who still act like they are in their 20's, and want to party & such. When I was in my early to mid 20's, I had absolutely no desire to settle down & or start a family what so ever!! When I was in my late 20's is when that changed, and I had no desire to "go out," clubs, & party. I knew I was ready to marry, and started to want to have a baby, a family of my own. That is my main priority my kids & their family. I find it sad really-those who work hard at deceiving others, by trying to be perceived as having,"the perfect ideal life," or being the "perfect ideal wife..." I'm still growing, changing, and I try to learn lifes lessons. However, I do have a whole lot to be grateful for, and for that I thank God & my team of angels everyday! My kids & I treked though pre-school- what a blast, and now that's is a bitter sweet memory for me, & hard to believe that's in the past. Every year since my Lovey & my Romeo were born, has just gone by way too fast!! I can't believe that I'm in my late 30's now! I don't feel like it & I'm pissed, and I don't know how this happened to me!j/k I'm in a ministry at church, M.O.M.S. and also volunteer @ church, pre-school, & for elementary school. I volunteered more at the school/church during those pre-school years. Everything we did including the friends there-it was our life then. My kids and I had a whole lot of fun, and our life was busy in a different way than it is now, w/them being older, in elementary school, & different activities...I've also considered adding Taxi driver to my occupation title. Just Kidding, but it's a good thing I like driving. I especially like my new GPS, it totally rules! My name is Wendy Darlene Emerson, and I'm proud to be an Emerson!(or Mrs. D. that strange Man who lives @ my house doesn't want me to put our last name on here) I am English, Danish, & Scottish from my Dad, and from the other side: Irish, French Canadian, & Swedish. Come from a long line of strong leaders and lot's of preachers on both sides of my family. My parents divorced by the time I was 4yrs old, and I did the every other weekend deal with my Dad as well as Christmas Eve, Easter, and some of the vacations. Lived with or stayed w/them in San Diego during the divorce & long stays w/them every summer. From a very young age when it was my Dad's weekend, we attended many sporting events or games that he was usually the team Physician for. That was our thing, even though he was technically working that's what we did a lot together just me & him. He always had tickets for me to go to Phoenix Suns Basketball games & all the other professional teams as well. I've been a Phoenix Suns Basketball fan nearly my whole life, and it was really a strange experience to go to a Dallas Mavericks game here in Texas. Years of sitting on the court watching the Phoenix Suns with my Dad, in our suite, or right behind the players-to being at a Mavericks game and living here with my little family. Jason Kidd back on the Mavericks, and one of The Mavericks coaches even played for the Phoenix Suns & coached when my Dad was the team Physician for the Suns. I didn't know he worked w/the Mavs, so that was also sorta strange when I got to the game. Actually, I was born in Texas in 1970, we lived here when my Dad was in Vietnam. My Dad was a fighter pilot/flight surgeon in Vietnam, and we lived on the Air Force Base in San Antonio. So I'm back where I started, and I feel my being here is what's supposed to be happening. With my Mom Gloria, I was around artists & musicians, as well drug dealers & many other characters. She was an innocent daughter of a wealthy & savy business man/Evangelist. She got married @ 18yrs old and started out the "all American wife & mother." That whole deal with her was just tragic & devastating. I was a really strong little girl, a tuff cookie & the little Momma. When I was with my Gloria, I witnessed a lot that a little girl shouldn't have to see. One time we stopped at Waylon Jennings house, and I sat bored on his couch while they were in another room. This visit revolved around narcotics, and wasn't bad compared to everything I did see. When they came back out to me, he talked about & showed me his gold records & such on the wall. I wasn't impressed & just wanted to leave. I said something like, "good, okay can we go now?" I'm sorta surprised w/myself that I'm even putting any of this stuff out there, I could write a very captivating book...I tend to not talk about this stuff or myself, but I am finding it easier to write or type about it:) However, I'm not going to do it all here in myspace, especially so someone doesn't highjack, make a movie, or anything else from my life. I lived it and I would be mad. When I was with my Dad, it was family Men, Physicians and their families & professional athletes. By the time Az got a professional football team, I was around 18yrs. I've never felt like the Az Cardinals football fit in & never became a fan at all, AND I DO LIKE THE COWBOYS FOOTBALL TEAM. I HAVE BECOME A TOTAL DALLAS STARS HOCKEY FAN, AND I DO LIKE THE MAVERICKS. IT'S COOL THAT I KNOW SOME PLAYERS & COACHES AND I FEEL A BIT CONNECTED, AS I'VE BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO. My favorite sports to watch are basketball & hockey. My Dad got full custody of me by the time I was 11 he was my parent & my rock. When I was a little girl I was in some commercials, took dance, ballet, gymnastics, and I played the violin, and I was in many plays, sometimes church plays. I was the youngest of 3 girls for nearly 12 yrs. My sisters & their friends would have me smoke pot, drink, & etc. for their entertainment when I was really young. There was a lot of parties at that house, by the time I lived with my Dad- it didn't end well at that house. Yes, there was an actual ending... My sisters are 8 and 5 yrs older than me, and my 1/2 brothers (fraternal twins) were born when I was 11yrs old. I was living with my Dad & Step-Mom and it seemed like I was the oldest. I feel really close to my brothers, and I was the perfect age for helping with them & I loved it. I liked to baby sit and play with them, and I felt so happy with my family. Now that we are all adults I feel like the middle child- I've played all the roles. In high school I was a cheerleader and we were State Champions every year, but I was the rebellious one on the team. I guess it's just part of who I am, but some of that has passed & I'm no longer a rebel on a mission. I think I was around 4yrs old for my first job. I was an actor in a commercial for a steakhouse, "The Rusty Nail." Next I was in a commercial for a waterpark, "Big Surf." In High School, I coached gymnastics for 3yr olds-middle school age,and cheer for middle school age girls. When I was 16yrs I was a bus girl @ Valle Luna Mexican Food. Then then "The Bare Cover," a surf, skateboard, clothing, vans, bathing suits, flohos, etc. shop. I always had more guy friends than girls, and my guy friends are near & dear to my heart. Wow, it's really been a long time & i I went to College at The University of Arizona in Tucson Arizona. My 1st yr. I lived in a dorm, and I liked to go to the fraternity parties @ ZBT. I was drawn to these guys & liked it there, and they liked me:) Most were from back East, & they were Jewish & different from most of the West Coast dudes I was used to. I met this guy who's band was playing @ a Halloween party. He was going to school there as well, and he was from Oklahoma. He was this cute cowboy rocker type, Clay Greenberg. He was different than my usual athlete type back then. He was the singer in his band, a musician & Jewish, imagine that!! I fell real hard for him, at that time I thought he was the one for sure. He is on my profile playlist singing, Tumbleweed Blues. Fast Fwd to the next chp. I went to this volleyball/keg party at Rasta Pi, a sort of anti-fraternity. I immediately felt comfortable & liked that everyone was cool and just being themselves. It took off from that point and this group became my new friends. We had so many good times & bonding trips, and I was experiencing life in a way I never had before then. I was going through a very rebellious phase, but I was having a really good time & free. I started dating one of the guys who lived there at Rasta Pi. He had been the front man/vocals/screamer in a punk band for years, & he also was going to UofA when we met. I actually ended up marrying him, we have a lot of history together since I was 20yrs old. He's a very smart and motivated guy w/3 degrees under his belt now. We weren't together the whole time from when I was 20yrs old through getting married at 27yrs old. There was a time we were apart, and we kept contact and or stayed friends. He knows me really well & I am the love of his life:)Rasta Pi was unlike any place I had been before, there were five old campus houses surrounding a volleyball court. Bands played at some of the parties either in the front house or back yard. Some of the best times of my life, and they even made a sign with the R & the Pi in red yellow & green- it hung up high on the front house. Some were artists & musicians, and one of them became a pretty good Lawyer. College students rebelling against main stream comformity-along w/the outlaw biker Kelly living in the back studio house. Unbelievable times & stories to say the least. While going to U of A I worked in Restaurants like Houlihans & Canyon Ranch. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I was asked to be a "Miller Light Girl" & I got paid to drink! If my Dad reads this, I hear him saying, "Jimminy Christmas." I didn't drive though, they had us girls in the Miller Light van. It reminded me of my Dad's old 70's van equiped w/a bachelor pad. I had like guy groupies who would show up at the clubs where I would be, but they were gross & it was wild. I did that until it got old, I think it was several months. I did some acting & modeling, but looking back I barely tried & didn't care enough to give it my all. When I was 16 I had a contract to model is Paris, but I couldn't go, and again did some local modeling in my earliest 20's to 31ish. My photographer, mentor, and true friend Butch Williams really believed in me. He wanted me to do the I.M.T.A. in New York around 1992- he put my picture in the book & signed me up, but again I didn't go or do it. I repeat: I'm in the I.M.T.A. book but I didn't go to it. He came back with 7 agencies world wide that wanted me to sign with them, but I didn't do it & stopped alltogether @ that was that. Butch died of Aids in my later 20's & it was tough. I believe he's still with me, I love you Butch! Moved to a small town in Prescott Arizona for a couple of years. I wanted & needed to distance myself from everything & so I did. I did a lot of hiking & mountain biking, and it was a healthy & nice change for me. While I was Prescott, I took psychology drama & college math courses @ the College there. I did really well, actually better than ever being more focused on studying. When I moved back to Scottsdale, I went to school to become a licensed Aesthetician & I did. I got married a month before I turned 28. I had my first baby, my daughter when I was 30. Now I keep super busy with my two amazing angel babies. My son Roman and my daughter Taryn- they are 14 months apart. Ah! They are the most incredible occurrances in my life, and by far the greatest thing to ever happen to me! I thank God for them daily, and I am so lucky to be THEIR MOMMY. Their Dad is exactly 50% Italian & 50% Lithuanian. When they were babies & toddlers, people & friends would tell me that they should be models. I was always taught & believe that no one loves your kids like you do. A lot of friends would say this to me, and they were'nt saying it about their own kids... I sent in some pics to a very reputable agency, Dani's Agency in Phoenix. Fast fwd & they were signed & had pics etc. w/Dani's Agency. We had a sudden move her to Texas due to their Dad's job, the corporate headquaters are here. I haven't looked into any agency here for them, I still get all those same comments about my kids to this day. Maybe I'll look into it, they certainly are talented & like to perform as well. I choose to stay home with my kids, I haven't worked as an Esthetician in years & feel blessed to be able to! Then I work in the Summer since they are around all day & not in school. Ha! I'm joking! They are my pride and joy, and I'm totally into being a Mommy. I dig being involved in their lives, activities, and just every little detail about them. I LOVED being pregnant, the whole process even up to giving birth. It was such an AMAZING experience, you would think I was the first one to ever do it. I knew I would love my kids, I just didn't know how much or felt this kind of love before. They are the reason I live & breath, they are my world!! _______________________________________________________***** ***************************************************** Myspace Generators
