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?

I am Samantha [not Sam. just Samantha]

I have a mighty voice.

My family [brothers, sisters, cousins] are my friends.

I love country music.

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.
