Where to start? I was born and raised in Houston, TX.  Come from a loving family, in which we like to call ourselves "The REAL Jackson 5."  My dad and mom, Hugh and Mary, WOW! Words can't even describe my love and appreciation for them and all they have done for me in my life.  My dad is a real estate agent and does accounting jobs on the side; also such a fabulous man of God, but watch out his humor will get ya.  My mom just started her 32nd year of teaching and is easily the most caring and loving person I know.  My favorite and only sister, Lauren is someone I truly admire; her facial expressions are hilarious.  She is getting married in three days (AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!) to a wonderful guy named Adam.  So excited for the Lord to bless their marriage and new life in so many ways.  Then there is my brother, Kyle.  Man is he funny.  Since I can remember he has always had the funniest jokes.  Last June he got married to a wonderful woman named Victoria.  So happy she has joined the fam.  To round out the Jackson 5 is me.  I just started my senior year at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, TX.  I absolutely LOOOOOVE it here.  The Lord has taught me so many great things through my 3 and some change years of being here.  I played softball my first two years until the Lord has other plans for me.  I miss playing, but know that God's plan is so much greater. Hello, He brought me to the World Race! 🙂  I will graduate with an Exercise Sports Science major and a Life-Earth science minor.  I have always wanted to teach and coach; up until pretty recently the mission field has just been so heavy on my heart.  Looking forward to a whirlwind of emotions the will come along with being a World Racer.
