A Kowalski Blog

Hello! I am Emily, Katie's twin -- I mean, younger sister.

Katie and I are basically the same person - or as Katie wittily said in her amazing wedding (maid-of-honor) speech, we are clones. When we are together, we finish each other's sentences and are often found CRUMBLING ONTO THE FLOOR in fits of giggles and guffaws (usually over a silly inside joke or merely a glance at one another). We also look quite similar (often wearing the same outfit by chance) and have been mistaken for twins MANY times. We like a lot of the same things -- beer, going out to eat, being with Ellie, laughing, bundt cake, TV shows like Strangers with Candy, laying on a picnic blanket and smiling at dogs in baby carriages -- and just are the best of frands.

But -- what do we think about and do when we are apart? Unfortunately, we are apart quite often (last February, I moved from D.C. to Raleigh, N.C. to be with my then-fiance and now-husband). It's been hard not being a few blocks away from Katie and Ellie, but hopefully this shared blog will help us remain close and get a better sense about what we're doing in our lives throughout the year.

Possible blog topics might be...

- Visit recaps (I try to visit D.C. every couple of months, and I'm hoping KATIE WILL VISIT ME SOON *hint hint*)

- New recipe, restaurant, or drink reviews

- ELLIE POSTS!

- Day-to-day activities

- Travels

- Holidays

- Etc.

I am so excited to join this blog and get writing again! I'll leave yo
u with a few photos.
