Thanks for visiting my blog! I am so excited about The World Race and what this adventure has in store for me. God and I have been getting pretty tight lately and I can't wait to see how our relationship will grow even more on this trip. I leave in January of 2014 and will be gone for 11 months, traveling to 11 different countries! For more information about The World Race, click on the link to the left! To start this blog off, in which I will be documenting and sharing my experience before, during and after the race, I'm going to share some random facts about myself!
Firstly, my family… they are pretty incredible and extremely important in my life.
My beautiful, amazing, supportive parents: Steve and Tammy
My sweet older brother, Logan and his lovely fiance Karlan
My younger brother Spencer, one of the coolest kids I know
The best dog around, Boone, who is an essential part of our family
Now for some random facts:
