Well, I suppose I should tell you a little about myself.  For starters, my name is Allie Rothman.  I am 24, and live in Toledo, Ohio.  Yes, Allie is my real name, not short for anything.  I am very impressed when people spell it write for the first time because it rarely happens. 🙂  

Some things I love: the color green, T-shirts and gym shorts, chacos, , awkward moments, my church in Toledo, driving around alone at night, kids, friends, coca cola classic, deep conversation, spontaneity, reading, Gilmore Girls, Friday Night Lights, camping, Friday nights in with a movie and ice cream, good worship music, finding out what people are passionate about,  hoodies…

                                                  

I am really pumped about this adventure in January. I have never been overseas, nor even really out of the country…  Culture shock coming?  I think yes, but I'm pumped!  

This trip is specified to Human Trafficking.  It is crazy to think that not even a year ago, I didn't even know what that "phrase" meant.  Through friends involved in ministries here in Toledo dealing with it, I have been made aware of the horrors and devastation of this problem.  Especially since I live in Toledo, where it is ranked fourth in youth-sex trade in the U.S.  Crazy!  

any who, a little more about me:  I have been following Jesus now for 5 years.  Needless to say, a lot of those days I wasn't "following" Him, but man, has He been changing me.  

flaw: I lose my keys and license a lot.  They are normally in my car under the front seat, in my apartment front door, or in a back pocket of jeans in the dirty clothes.  AKA I tend to lose things a lot.  whoops.  

I may not be great with money, but I LOVE playing random games, and being "recreational."  I love throwing a Frisbee around in the park, or going on a hike in the park with  a friend.
