" We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless. We don't get to choose all the endings,
but we are asked to play the rescuers.
We won't solve all the mysteries & our hearts will certainly break in such a vulnerable life,
but it is the best way.
We were made to be lovers in broken places pouring ourselves out again & again until we are called home" – TWLOHA

My life h as been a [crazy adventure] and i have met some !amazing! people along the way. Each person has [grown me & shaped me & stretched me] into the person i am today.
i dont just have one family. i'm lucky. each place&stage in my life God has blessed me a family that encouraged me or helped me along the way and took me in as one of their own. Each of these families will never realize how much impact they have placed in my heart and life.
my forreal parents : Brenda & Gregory.
Love them! They have put up with ALOT from me. They never know what i am up to next, and i scare them 1/2 to death all the time. they are amazing. They have given me STRONG ROOTS. but
}big wings to fly.{
– Along with my parents they blessed this world and me with 2 little sisters…. who arent so little anymore.
Krystle and Jenna- between the differences of playing with Barbies or Baby Dolls or the arguments over who is better { nsync or the backstreet boys} we have grown past these.
( baby dolls rock & nsync will always be cooler) :) – haha
These 2 by far are my [best friends] .
Krystle, i could go on forever about this girl. I look up to her ( and she is younger). She is nothing short of amazing.
She is married to the ( one & only) benjamin chesslo

Jenna graduates from HS this june. GO AG! – she has an amazing future ahead of her. I cant wait to see what God has instore for someone as unique as she is. – she also has a really cool boyfriend TYLER. ( i approve! and im a little protective when it comes to my sisters) he is going to be a pro HOCKEY player (: woot woot.
grams and paps. lucky to still have all 4..
grandma and pappy REESE. – I dont know where to begin. They have supported me to the end and back. They are responsible for giving me a burning passion to serve Christ and worship Him
day in and day out.
grandma and pappy SACKETT- they are responsible for my HUGE HEART and FREE SPIRIT and i will never forget the taste of a good home cooked meal on the farm. above all else they have taught me hope, trust and the power of healing from Jesus Christ.
