Hi.

I’m Emily.

What do you want to know about me? You know, besides the fact that my webcam stinks.

To start, I am 24 years old. I am employed as a banker. I bet you all find me really scary now!

I grew up in Iowa. I went to a Bible college there.

I moved to Utah in 2007 for a boy. The boy and I have now parted ways.  I am still in Utah. For now, that’s okay. Though I think about moving home. Somehow being in Iowa and seeing all my family and close friends anytime I want seems to make more sense than me going back there every six months. Coming to visit Utah every few months for the few friends I have here makes a lot of sense though. Utah is a nice place to visit.

My favorite color is cerulean blue.

I am a very firm Christian. I attend a Baptist church. Being a Christian, though, is more important than being Baptist.

When I started this blog, I was single. Well, now I am taken. I happened to find a man with a love of Christian Reformed theology, and the ability to sing show tune. I sent him to my blog. Now he is my boyfriend Scott. You can find him here.

I love music, books, art, and theater. Books are my crack.  I read when I am not doing something else. I write intermittently. I am active and love hiking but think that running is for people that are being chased and camping is for people who are homeless. I am wholly and unabashadly a city girl.

I tend to overanalyze things and talk too much.  I drink copious amounts of coffee. I occasionally enjoy a glass of Riesling. Kids are fun but I don’t know if I want my own.

I Love Lucy is the greatest tv show, ever.

I look nice in pink. But my favorite color  is blue and I think I look even better in it.

Don’t mention politics with me unless you want to hear me babble about why Ron Paul is right.

Being a Christian has been the hardest and most rewarding path I have ever taken for myself.

Papa John’s Pizza is the greatest kind there is, ever, period, hands down.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Dr. Pepper are both equally amazing but completely different treats for me.

I once gave a friend a box of 64 cerulean blue crayons. You can get customized boxes of crayons at crayola.com, in case you are wondering.

When I was little, I wanted to grow up and be an author. Now, I am technically grown up, hardly see myself as such, and I still want to be an author.

DId I mention I was random?

Welcome to my blog.
