All About Me

Hi, y'all! My name is Emily and I am new to the blogging world.



First off let me say thank you to my parents and friends for supporting me in my decision to start a blog. This blog will be me expressing my thoughts on the world around me.

I love music, books, movies, my family (not in that order :) and lots of other stuff! I live with my family on a farm in small town, USA. My favorite music is mostly '80s Rock, Country (modern and older stuff), some modern Pop, and some Christian (my favorite artist is Sanctus Real). Favorite books include: The Count of Monte Cristo, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Edge Chronicles Series (all ten of them), and I am constantly reading more. I like drama, mystery, thriller, and some sci-fi movies. One of my favorite movies is 'The Avengers' and I'm supposed to go see 'The Dark Knight Rises'. I'll let you know what I think.

I love to cook (desserts mostly which could explain alot! ;) but I like to cook savory foods as well. I play the piano and I sing. I am working on making my mom a CD for her birthday. I like nail art but rarely do it. I will post pictures when I do though.

I like airplanes, helicopters, boats, trucks, four-wheelers, camoflauge and sports. Don't play sports, just like them

I'll add random history facts just for the fun of it such as:

Thanks so much to Mr. Willis Carrier, inventor of the Air Conditioner. The Air Conditioner kicked on for the first time 110 years ago yesterday. Go Mr. Willis!

So today, July 18, 2012, is the 199th day of the year and there are exactly 166 days left to go in the year 2012. 57 years ago today, the first Disneyland theme park was opened to the public in Anaheim, California. Go Disneyland! Also today (46 years ago), Gemini 10 was launched from Cape Kennedy. It was a 70-hour mission that included docking with an orbiting vehicle.
