One thing I was asked to do as part of my World Race blog was write a post about me. So, I decided to have a little fun with it, and give you…drum roll please…
20 Fun Facts About Shelli:
1. I grew up in Northern suburbs of Minneapolis/St.Paul

3. I moved to Seattle four years ago to help start a church plant – and co-lead Incarnational Ministries, the hands and feet of Christ in the urban streets, and also work at an amazing organization – the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
4. My nickname is "Bubba" or "Bubs" – among other silly names
5. I am 26-years-old, and have two brothers, both married – one recently joined the military.
