(Re) Introducing Me

Hello, reader! It's me, Emily!
This is my second blog, the first being one I started in high school (yikes). I'm starting over with a new name for a totally fresh start! 
First off, the story of my recent life:
I'm a 21 year old college senior. More formally, I'm a senior teacher candidate at Southeast Missouri State University. I am in my third semester of spending around 100 hours in a real classroom teaching real lessons, and next semester I will truly be student teaching. I am also a gymnastics coach on the side. I am from St. Louis, Missouri and the youngest of three girls. My eldest sister lives in Kentucky (7 hours away) with her husband - together they have one child on Earth (AJ, age 1) and one angel in heaven. My middle sister lives in St. Louis with her husband. I am recently engaged and am planning to marry the love of my life/future police officer, DJ, in April of 2019. 
The name of this blog comes from two of my favorite things. Flashlights are for camping, power outages, and reading past bedtime - all are things that bring a little thrill to my life. Second, fireflies (a.k.a lightning bugs) - they light the way in the dark, which is something we all need from time to time.
So this is me, and this is my story - teaching, coaching, loving, and living.
Welcome to it.
