I am Carly. 
 
I want more Jesus than I have.  I want to want more Jesus than I want.  I want to see Him expand and grow and change my life.  Forever.
 
I have a family built on parents, siblings, life-long friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, loud laughs, funny stories, great food, and tradition.  I feel like I live in My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding…but my family is not Greek.  And nobody is getting married, in the forseeable future, at least.
 
I am passionate, easily excitable, a loud laugher.  I love to (try to) cook and (try to) make people laugh.  Stories – telling, hearing, writing, knowing – are my favorite things.  I’m a hopelessly uncool photographer, but I’m going to figure it out eventually.  Reader, student, learner, prolific texter, wannabe stylish dresser, nail-biter, rain lover, future owner of dogs named Walter, Gypsy, and Gatsby.
 
My entire life, I have wanted adventure.  The world is a beautiful and broken place that I will never see enough of, but this year is going to be the start of something massive and I cannot wait.
