Welcome and Introduction!

Hello everyone!

My name is Emily, and I enjoy long walks on the beach, coffee, and Grey's Anatomy.  :)  I'm also a student affairs professional.  Most people have little to no idea of what that means, but I'm hoping that throughout the life of this blog, I can help explain what my job entails, some challenges, and ultimately why I decided to enter into this field.

Before we jump into the heavy stuff, let me tell you, my lovely readers, a little bit about myself.  I'm originally from Ohio, but moved to Florida in 2009 because I was tired of the snow and cold.  I hadn't  planned to be in Florida forever, but I met the man of my dreams, got married, and never looked back.

Seven years later, I'm married with an adorable three year old son, and working as the Student Services Coordinator at the College of Motion Picture Arts at Florida State University.  I'm a room parent for my son's preschool class, and I'm taking classes while I work on my application to a doctoral program.

In my (little) amount of free time, I love photography, and taking pictures that can tell a story.  I fully believe the statement that a picture is worth 1,000 words, and I really like to try to find a story within photos.  I am by no means a professional, but photography is a great outlet for me to be creative.  So, with that note, I will end with some of my more favorite photos.

Enjoy and looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Emily
