Meet Aunt Emily
Also known as Emmie, Emily and/or Hopper.
Emily is my best friend of 14 years and we have been through everything together since our freshman year of college....
nursing school, fun trips, boyfriends, breakups, family drama, moves, weddings, graduate school, the adoption roller-coaster, happy days & sad days, the good times and the bad.
She has been with me every step of the way and is always there to talk me down off a ledge when things get a little crazy!
Emily just recently returned to the States after living in Uganda for 5 months
She is currently working for Open Arms in Austin, Texas a company employing refugee women from around the world at a living wage, using re-purposed t-shirts to create one-of-a-kind products. Great gifts for a good cause!

Patrick and I are very honored and excited that Emily is going to travel to Seoul with us when we go to pick up Evelyn. She is going to be our "personal photographer" for the trip and document every minute from the time we leave the US until we return with Evelyn in our arms!
So...if you see her face in some of our pictures while in Seoul you will know who it is...
It's Evelyn's Aunt Emily!!!
love you hopper!
That is so awesome that Hopper is going with y'all!!! How fun. I'm excited about her new job, too- I've got a huge pile of t-shirts to mail to open arms that I keep putting off mailing. Can't wait to hear all about y'all's trip.
