Hello! Thanks for stopping by 🙂 This is the part where I get to share a few things about myself. I was raised in a small town in west Texas. Denver City to be exact. And yes, you read TX correctly. Not Colorado 🙂 I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers that I love. I’m somewhere in the middle of all of them. I also have 12 adorable nieces and nephews! And I have great parents that I love!
Some of my family!
After high school I drove 6 hours away to attend Bible college at
Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, TX. I had a blast and met some fabulous people there. I played basketball there and worked on my degree in Church Ministries. A few years after graduating I got into graduate school at
Eastern New Mexico University. I will be graduating in May (finally!!) with a masters in Sports Administration. I have also been the Children’s Pastor at
New Life Assembly of God here in Clovis for 3 1/2 years now 🙂
Random fact: I’ve gone by the nickname Cookie for like 12 years!
Things I love (in no particular order 🙂
