Emily says the two-year-old Chocolate Lab is named after Graham Harrell, a former quarterback at her alma mater of Texas Tech.

 

Graham Hamilton loves indie music, particularly The Avett Brothers, as their serene melodies lull him to sleep when he accompanies Emily on road trips all over the state of Texas.
