About Me

My name is Emily. I live in southern West Virginia and I love it here. It is my HOME. I am a sophmore in college. I hope to one day be a teacher...I wanna do something in my life that leaves an impact on others long after I am gone.
I am a happy person most of the time. I love to laugh and I try to find beauty in everything. I am VERY girly...but I can be very country too. I love to watch football and Nascar. The beach is where I find my peace and where I am the happiest. I believe with all my heart that Life is what you make of it.
My family and friends are the most important people in my life. Most of my family is out west and I would give anything to have them all closer. Me and my mom have a relationship beyond belief. She is the most amazing person I know and she is my best friend. There isn't anything that I keep from my mommy. My friends seem to be scattered around everywhere these days and I miss them. The distance doesn't change the fact that they are the most wonderful people in the world. I don't know what I would do without them.
Oh, and there is this boy...He definitely has my *HEART* His name is Chris. We have had some pretty big ups and downs but we're still going strong. He makes me smile, he lets my cry, he inspires me to think, and he stands beside me no matter what. I love him =)
