Hello! My name is Susan Caragay...a.k.a. future Mrs. Emison. Thanks for visiting my homepage! Hailing from La Porte, Texas, I am also a proud graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with a BBA in Marketing. Go Horns!

After being in the corporate world for 8 years, I am happily the Business Technology & Speech teacher for 10th grade at KIPP Houston high school. KIPP stands for "Knowledge is Power Program", and it is an innovative charter school for minority teens who are college bound.

In addition to my teacher training, I have been busily planning my upcoming wedding in Houston to my hubby-to-be, Bobby. We met about 10 months ago and I've been smiling ever since.

Since we are on a tight budget (who isn't?), we have been spending much of our time surfing the web, negotiating with vendors, comparing quotes, and most importantly- compromising with each other on our "must-haves" versus "maybe-nots". To help you practice before your real life wedding, I have created a lesson plan on creating a wedding budget, which will truly prepare you for the actual "big event" in your future.
