Hi!  I guess the basics about me are that I
was born in Texas, moved a bunch of times when I was younger, and have lived in
four different states; living around Northville, MI since 6th grade.  I grew up
in a Christian home with two loving parents and my sister, who is two years
younger.   In May 2008 I
graduated from Spring Arbor University with a Major in Business-Marketing, and
a minor in Psychology. 

So I know those things
play a part in who I am today, but I feel like there is so much more that makes
me, me.  The experiences I’ve had,
the lessons I’ve learned, the friends I’ve made, and the hard times where I
have grown and learned more about faith and trust.  Along with all the shaping experiences or lessons in my
life, there are simple little details. 
To help paint a little better picture of me, I thought I’d share a few
things from my happy journal:

+ when you can tell
someone is smiling over the phone + music + cooking + sunrises / sunsets + reading + good conversations with friends + chai tea + the smell of rain + meeting for coffee / ice cream + fall + when someone smiles as you pass by each other + inside jokes + hummus + photography + knowing you are where God wants you to be + Christmas music + graphic design + taking walks +

my family

my family (and yes, my little sister is taller than me:)


Emily (my sister) and me



Well I guess you have
the chance to get to know me and what God is dong in my life more over the next
11 months!

 much love.
