CURRENT MISSION

The best way to understand ourselves is to learn about others. We take this philosophy to heart and are trying to experience as many places and cultures as we can.

ABOUT ME

Emily is a Marketing Coordinator for a Civil Engineering firm and Caleb is a Nurses Aide, finishing his Master's Degree in Philosophy and Bioethics. We love to ride our bicycles, hang out in the sun, hike, and spend time with our rather large extended family. Typical activities include game nights, movie nights, bar resting (aka bar hopping...except you stay at one bar), and hanging out on the couch.

PHILOSOPHY

You get out of life what you put into it, so work hard, play hard, and live hard.

Music, Movies, and Books

Caleb and I have very differing music tastes. I love hip hop, indie, pop, and alternative rock. Caleb loves classic rock and stuff on the hardcore side. But, we can both agree that the best music is from the 50's, 60's, and 70's :)

I read a lot of fiction and literature, Caleb likes non-fiction adventure books. We each have our own definition of 'romantic books.' My favorite books are Pride and Prejudice and Kite Runner. Caleb's favorite books are Nietzschean texts and other philosophical writings. Our tastes may be different, but we can both agree that reading is better than seeing the movie!

My favorite movies are

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There isn't a whole lot that beats Tibet - a secret world of beautiful colors, people, and tradition.
