Hello! First I would like to say how excited I am that you are actually taking the time to read my Blog. It's kind of odd writing about myself because, I'm not really good at it. It kind of makes me feel vain but since I am suppose to tell you about myself, that's what you are going to read.

Well, there are the obvious facts about me. I was born and raised in Leonardtown, MD. Which by the way,  you can now find it on Google maps if you look close enough. I am a recent graduate of the College of Southern Maryland with my Associates in Social Science. Why social science? I have no idea. Maybe because I found it far more interesting than an educational degree. I was truly lucky to be blessed with such an awesome family! I have two loving and supporting parents who could not be more excited to see where God is leading me.My brother and sister can be loving and supporting at times as well. We all know those brother/sister, love/hate relationships. Just kidding! I am so proud of both of them. My brother is in the Marines and is loving life. My sister is still in High School and…looking forward to summer break where there will be far less homework. Yup. That's just about it for the basics.

Now for more entertaining facts, I made a list of twenty (maybe somewhat random) things you might be interested to know about me.

  1. I like to travel whether it be from my house to my car or from MD to SC. It doesn't matter to me.
  2. I share a birthday with my Grandmother. I think that's pretty unique.
  3. I live off of coffee and spend way too much time at Starbucks.
  4. I love working with children. Its probably one of my favorite activities.
  5. My dream vacation is anywhere but the beach. Not much of a beach person.
  6. My favorite job EVER was working at the Library!
  7. My family has three dogs and three cats.
  8. I went to Belize for a Tropical Marine Ecology class. It was a rough life snorkeling 5 days in a row.
  9. I love going to the parks in MD on nice days. Nothing better than going outside.
  10. My favorite snack is Pita Chips. Weird but delicious.
  11. I like to bake all sorts of things. Like pies, cookies, cupcakes, and cobbler.
  12. Most of my favorite TV shows are on the Disney channel and BBC.
  13. My favorite food is Mac N Cheese with Dino Chicken Nuggets.
  14. My favorite meal of the day is Breakfast. Without it…well I never skip the BEST meal of the day. 
  15. I'm not a huge fan of music. I only listen to music when I'm driving.
  16. I own sixteen pairs of sunglasses but only use five on a consistent basis.
  17. My favorite way to unwind is to read a good book.
  18. I call it being persistent but my family calls it being stubborn.(Courtesy of my sister)
  19. I like to go grocery shopping even though I am rarely in charge of cooking. 
  20. My favorite movies are The Proposal and Ballet Shoes.

I hope you found at least some of it interesting and learned something new about me. I am about to embark in a new chapter of my life. The race is going to be challenging. I know that there are still some obstacles standing in the way of the trip (mainly funding) but I know God is not going to leave me stranded when he has called me. This trip is not about me, it is about spreading the Word to those with no hope, to be God's hands and feet, and help those who long for salvation. But I know with God's strength and with the prayers and support from friends and family, this is going to be the most rewarding adventure I have yet to experience. Thank you for reading. I am so excited that you get to be a part of it as well.
