Day 5- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

I have traveled a lot of places, but one of my favorite places that I have been to would have to be Oregon!  We went last year and it was so much fun!  I would love to go back!!!  We stayed on the coast and it was absolutely amazing!  Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Day 4 - A habit that you wish you didn’t have

What habit do I wish that I didn't have?  Oh there are plenty of them!  But I think one that I am trying hard not to do, but failing miserably is when I get nervous or anxious I like to pick at my finger nails.  It's terrible because I really wish that I could grow them longer, but I just can't.  That one is at the top of my list of habits that I want to break.  What about you?  What habit do you wish you didn't have?

Where were you...

On September 11, 2001?  What were you doing when you heard about the Twin Towers?  How did you react to the news?  I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing, I was standing in my bathroom brushing my teeth, and getting ready for school.  I was in 8th grade.  At first I didn't believe it, but then I went and I watched a few minutes of the news before I had to leave for school.  Once I got to school we watched the news in almost everyone of my classes, except for choir.  Although I remember watching a few minutes of it, and it was right after the towers had fallen.  I remember being in English and my teacher having a really hard time because her sister lived in New Jersey and worked near or in the towers but that morning was running late and as the planes hit she was on the ferry.  I will never forget watching the news everyday and hoping and praying that they would be able to find people.  The night of 9/11, we were doing a project for my sister's work at the time stuffing containers with smoothie mixes, and the money that we raised doing that we donated to help with rescue efforts.
    Last night, me and Nick were watching a documentary on the events that happened and me feel so grateful for living in America and the freedom that we each have!  I had a hard time falling asleep last night because I was so grateful for the great land that we live in!  I think we take it for advantage sometimes!  Even though there is great turmoil around us, I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father that is watching over us!  I hope we all take the time to REMEMBER this weekend all the lives that were lost and the lives of those people that helped rescue others!

Day 2 The meaning behind your Blog name

The meaning behind my blog name... there isn't anything special about the name.  It's just who we are, Emily and Nick.  I know pretty boring!  But I love being Emily and Nick!  Sorry, pretty boring!  Hope you all have a great day!  Oh and I'm pretty sure I am loving the cooler weather, too bad it can't stay this way the whole year!
