So, a little bit about me!

Basic knowledge: I'm 18 (19 on Feb. 25), so I'm guessing I might be a younger member of the team. 

School: I'm currently a freshman at West Chester Univ. of PA.  My major is nursing, ambitious I know but definitely something God called me to!  Before that,  I was homeschooled throughout elementary, middle school, and high school and absolutely loved it!

Personality: I tend to be more withdrawn, especially when I first meet people.  I push all my emotions down until I overflow and then I'm a mess...unfortunately.  I love love LOVE to encourage people.  I'm usually pretty relaxed, not at all a dramatic person:-)

My family: My mom and dad are amazing - they encourage me so much and are two of my biggest role models!  I'm the youngest - I have an older brother and older sister - and we're all really close and great friends.  I would also include in my family (in terms of loving them:-) my horse, my sister's horse, and the family cat.

My home: I live on a farm, but not the typical cow farm, we just like open space and need fields for our horses.  So I live on a farm surrounded by farms in farm country:-) - its fun.  Plus, I'm totally a country girl.  I don't do any sports (I did track in high school) although I ride at home and run in the spring and summer.

Hmmm - what else would you want to know? 

Me and missions:  I've been on several mission trips (DR, Russia, Louisiana-KatrinaReliefTrips-, and Swaziland).  The Swaziland trip was with AIM two years ago, Ambassador team, and totally changed my life!  I am slowly learning that life is not worth living unless I am living it totally for Jesus!  I'm finding that a life totally surrendered to Him is the best thing I could ever do and that being a Christian is not just a "big part of my life" - it is my life. 

As you have probably figured out now, yes, I like to write and can get a little long but hopefully this lets you know a little something about me.This is me and my horse (Dakota) - sadly, its the most recent photo I have of myself so bear with the fact that its an weird angle:-)
