HAVE A LAUGH!
THE EMERY LAW OFFICE 2010S RECAP
With the 2020s upon us, it’s only natural to want to recap the decade that just ended. “Best of the 2010s” articles are everywhere right now, whether we’re talking greatest sports moments or top video games. In honor of the trend, I wanted to ask our team what they’ll remember when they think of the past 10 years. CELEBRATING THE DECADE THAT WAS

A traditional New Year’s favorite in the South, Hoppin’ John includes black-eyed peas that are said to represent coins, a sign of prosperity for the coming year. It’s usually served alongside collard greens, which represent cash. INGREDIENTS

Favorite TV show: “Fringe”
Best new experience you had this decade: Becoming a grandmother. Item you didn’t have in 2010 that you couldn’t live without today: I could live without any material items I have now; I just can’t live without my family. Trend you hope stays in the past: There are so many, but people eating Tide Pods is at the top of the list. What you wish you knew 10 years ago: If I knew 10 years ago what I know now, I wouldn’t have made the mistakes or met certain people that got me to the place I am now. We all make mistakes and learn on the way, and that is what makes us who we are today.
