\"IMG_3655\"<\/p>\n

For the first day of curing my writer’s block, I’d like to start with some introductions.<\/p>\n

My name is Emma. I am a self-declared insomniac, lover of soda, cereal, pizza, and ice cream. Food is basically my love language. \u00a0“My diet starts on Monday<\/a>” is pretty much\u00a0my motto in life.<\/p>\n

Reading and Netflix are my “hobbies” (I hate that word). \u00a0I’ve also started podcasting and audiobooking and my life has changed forever since I force myself to workout or do dishes whenever I’m listening.<\/p>\n

I am no photographer or instagrammer<\/a> or even lifestyle blogger. \u00a0I just really like to write and share things for my future posterity. I like to tweet<\/a> occasionally and now that I’m married Pinterest<\/a> has become a lot more fun. (Babies and weddings and apartment decorating and healthy recipes…)<\/p>\n

I am married to that cutie up there named Dallin. Or, as I sometimes refer to him, the envelope guy<\/a>. \u00a0We’ve been married for a 1 year and 4 months and have been living in Tempe, Arizona. \u00a0We will be moving in a few short weeks! (More to come on that in a future blog post.)<\/p>\n

I just graduated from Arizona State University studying Anthropology. I am fascinated by other cultures and decided to dedicate 4 years of my life learning about them. I consider myself a lifelong learner and I am constantly engaged in new projects<\/a> to keep learning.<\/p>\n

\"graduation\"<\/p>\n

I currently work for a group of universities doing international recruitment for them. This involves some travel<\/a>\u00a0and lots of\u00a0late nights<\/a>\u00a0skyping people. It’s a glorious life, let me tell you.<\/p>\n

The most important aspect of my life is my faith. \u00a0I spent 18 months in northern Italy sharing it\u00a0with the people there and it changed my life forever. \u00a0Each week, I wrote a letter<\/a> home for my family which were published on this blog. \u00a0Hence the name,emma letters was born. Because of my 18 months there, I can say that I love all things Italian and will argue to my grave how much better gelato is than ice cream (it’s really<\/em> important to me).<\/p>\n

I am excited to participate in the blogtember challenge that I somehow stumbled across on the internet. I am obsessed with reading others’ blogs and I can’t wait to find more blogs to follow.<\/p>\n

Please comment and let me know your thoughts and what you’re up to. I’m excited for this month! Follow along and click on the button below.<\/p>\n
