Hellooooo [said in a Mrs. Doubtfire voice]
I am quickly learning that God loves me. a LOT. He loves me enough to keep loving me – no matter how many times I mess up, how many times I fail, how many times I run away, HE STILL LOVES ME.
Who am I?

Chicago is my favorite city in the world — home to amazing pizza, the Chicago White Sox, and Jim Love.
My favorite smell is a football player after practice or a game. Sick? Yes. Love? Definitely.
I love picnics more than most things on earth.
