Hello all!

Hey there everyone!  My name is Emily Hulse.  I apologize that my picture is from my wedding 4 years ago, I don't have a good current picture available at the moment.  I am a senior working toward a degree in Public Relations and Advertising, though I still have 4 semesters left including this one. I have two little boys, Ryker just turned 2 in July, and Calem was born May 31.  Additionally, my husband is in the final year of his graduate program at the University of Utah, working on a Master's degree in Entertainment Arts as a Video Game Producer.  Needless to say, I have my hands full.

I currently am a Public Affairs Specialist for the Utah Air National Guard, and will complete my inital 6-year contract in November, at which point I plan on leaving the military for the time being.  The uncertainty of where we will be living next year after my husband graduates left me to make the decision I felt best for my family, which was to be home with them.  My time with the ANG has been wonderful, and I hope that I can take the writing skills that I learned with them and apply them to this class.

In my spare time - what little I have - I enjoy watching cooking competition shows on the Food Network to get ideas for dinner, because let's face it, as college students, meals can get repetitive and tedious.  I also love Big Band Swing dancing, reading and traveling.  The next stop on my "bucket list" is Rome.

I look forward to a great semester and getting to know you all through your writing.
