Emily

So I must look like an "Emily" because I get mistakenly called Emily ALL the time. (There even is a secretary at work that always calls me Emily but I don't correct her, in fact I even respond to it so that she's not embarrassed.) But I truly believe it is a curse-thingy. It all started with AFY in July of 2005... (dramatic-memory-fog-effect-fade)

The summer before my senior year of high school one of my friends, Amy, and I. (Now don't get confused, my name is Amy too but when I write out A-m-y I'm referring to my friend Amy.) (Now that we have that cleared up...) Well Amy and I decided instead of doing EFY that summer, we would do AFY (Adventures for Youth); basically you start the day with a devotional and a scripture readying but then we were off to a hike or river rafting or rock climbing, etc. Well at this AFY Amy and I were one of the older ones; in our group there were these two twins that you could kind of guess they narrowly made the age cut off line (they were so sweetly-inoccent). Well for some reason they idolized Amy and I and followed us around like little puppy dogs all week. WELL for some reason the twins thought my name was Emily (They always called Amy, Amy) and it drove me crazy I'd always reply, "It's AMY!" and they would giggle and say, "Oh yeah!" (Seriously! How hard could it be... two girls... same name) Hahaha well, ever since that one week at BYU-I and have been cursed with someone everywhere I go mistaking me as an Emily but now it makes me chuckle and sometimes I correct these people and sometimes I don't.
