An Introduction

Hey hi hello internet neighbors! 

How are you on this fine Wednesday? In my neck of the woods, it's almost 80 degrees, so it looks like summer is officially here! With the introduction of summer, I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself a little bit more :)

Anyway! My name is Emma and I am a 21 year old living in the wonderful, midwestern state of Indiana with my parents, soon-to-be-married older sister, and two cats. I've lived here my whole life and for the most part, I really love Indiana. It's true what they say: there is more than corn here! Hopefully as the summer goes on, I can help prove that theory by sharing the non-corn activities I get up to! [Side note: I live in the city, so there's not a whole lot of corn around me. Which just adds more proof that there is more than corn here.]


If you were a crayon, what color would you be? I think I would like to be a pretty, soft, spring green. Green is one of my favorite colors, so I would love for my crayon alter-ego to reflect that. 

What are your favorite smells? I have a long list of favorite smells, some of them pretty normal and some that usually get me odd looks when I share them. The normal ones include my momma's perfumes (Estée Lauder Youth Dew and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue), my perfume (Chanel No. 19), the candle Over the River by Yankee Candle, pumpkin pie baking, freshly mowed grass, and lilacs and lilies of the valley (both flowers that I have bouquets of all around the house because they are blooming in our garden!) The odd favorite smells include brand new Crayola crayons (what kid doesn't love opening a fresh box a crayons?!) and shoe polish. They are strange I know, but what can I say?

Mountain hideaway or beach resort? Can I have a mountain hideaway that is a short walk to the beach?

What are your favorite sounds? I love music, but I won't go into that during this post. My favorite non-music sounds have to include laughter, birds chirping, high heels clacking on hard floors, and the sound (and feeling) of anticipation when you're at a concert and the lights go down because it's about to start. 

Lastly, what is the last movie you watched? I can't really remember! I know that I've watched Finding Nemo in the past few weeks, so I'll say that. I'm truly a kid at heart.

 Over the next few posts, I'm going to share more of my life with you, so the introduction process is not quite finished. If you stuck with me rambling on this long, I appreciate it very much and would love for you to share some of your answers to these questions in the comments!

Until next time, thank you for visiting! I hope you had fun in my corner of the interwebs.. 
Have a beautiful day!

hey hi hello!

Welcome!

So. Here I am. Blogging. Let me tell you first now: I've tried blogging before and have failed every time. I yearn to be a "blogger" with every bone in my body, but I'm too lazy for my own good and put off blogging "until tomorrow". Of course, tomorrow turns into never. Maybe this time I'll be able to stick to it! 

If you're reading this post, know how grateful I am you chose to wander over to my little corner of the interwebs. Here, I hope to create a safe, happy, honest, loving, and wonderful place for you to continue visiting. Over the next few days, I'll be writing posts to introduce myself to you and make things a little bit more personal. The first thing you should know is that, while I love technology and the internet, I'm a bit "uneducated" on the behind-the-scenes part of it; meaning you might notice little (or quite big) changes to my little blog as I figure out the layout and what I like. 

Thank you for visiting and I hope that you come back :) If you've stuck with me this far, I'd love for you to leave a comment telling me where you've came from! Let's start getting to know each other!

Happy Monday, new neighbors. I'm happy to join you in this crazy internet world. Let's make today great :)
