about me

I love to drive. I love to drive fast… with all the windows down. Music is a passion of mine. Silence can be just as powerful as a melody. I think I forget how to be in silence. I feel alive when I'm singing. I'm energized by being around people. I love hearing other people's stories and knowing where they're coming from. I like to be alone, but for short periods of time. I like to journal. I'm a verbal processor. I enjoy getting in the dirt outside, and I really appreciate a warm shower. I love campfires and good conversation… and a good beer. I also love a good wine. I'm not afraid of going days without a shower. I struggle with needing approval from others and being a ‘people pleaser.’ I believe and know the gospel of Jesus changes everything, and speaks to every part of my life. I hate spiders, although the really tiny ones are kind of cute. I love food. I believe food is an art form and can be described as ‘gorgeous.’ I think there's an artist in everyone. I enjoy change, challenge and variety. I'm spontaneous. I believe in love. I have had my heart crushed a few times, but not destroyed. I have quite a few regrets, but a lot of HOPE. I'm a romantic, but not in the sense that I believe that there's just ONE person for everyone. I love to dance. I'm proud to be an American, but it doesn't define who I am, and it's not where I find my identity. I'm terrible at remembering lines from movies. I don't do numbers. I love learning about other cultures and living in other cultures. I enjoy languages. I like words. I'm bad at fighting, but getting better at working through conflict. I love to travel. I love being organized and clean, but my bedroom is currently a mess and I haven't cleaned my bathroom in over a week. I enjoy sports a lot, but I'm not very good at them. I hate whitewater. I love having an older brother. I love to live in the big city and visit the small town (and countryside). I love summer heat, but my fair skin hates the sun. Pale is the new tan. I love crisp autumn days. It's my favorite season. I can fit my fist in my mouth. I love rain. I love weddings. I've been to well over 50 of them. I have terrible eyesight, but great vision. I have an overactive imagination at times. I'm very aware of the spiritual world and war around me. I love thunderstorms. I wanted to be a meteorologist TV personality until I found out how much math was involved. I'm of the intuitive and very perceptive type. I'm pretty laid back. I like to do cartwheels. I love learning more about things I never seem to understand. ‘People watching’ is so fun. You should try it.
