just a little ditty on who i am

I am a walking contradiction.

I am a world traveler who doesn’t
currently hold a passport (don’t worry, it’s being renewed and I should
have one back in my hand within a week).

I love my huge family (8 siblings, 2 siblings-in-law, 1
sibling-in-law-to-be, and 2 wonderful & loving parents) but still
love being alone (maybe that’s not a contradiction – maybe it’s a
result of always having a ton of people around!)

I strongly dislike raw tomatoes but love ketchup, tomato soup, and salsa.

I
studied at a pretty good liberal-arts college and got a nursing degree,
but would much rather hold babies and give underprivileged women and
children basic health care knowledge like how to wash hands and cover
coughs and why we need to drink clean water.

I’m learning Arabic but am moving to a country where Hindi and
about 20 other languages are spoken (and Arabic isn’t one of the ones
widely used).

I love to write but have a hard time feeling inspired and an even harder time getting words out on to a page.

I’m in the process of (finally) becoming a member at my church in
MI even though I’m moving to GA and then India and won’t actually be in
MI for the next 2.5 years.
