Hi y'all! I decided to re-do this introducing me thing, because my first one was totally lame. I am currently living in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois with 2 roommates but getting my own place in August! I have moved somewhere around 10 times. I went to school the first 2 years at Texas A&M University and now studying Sociology at Illinois State University :]
I have 2 big sisters, they both live pretty close to me. My oldest sister Abby has a little girl named Elly, and is adopting 2 little babies -Silas and Mercy. My middle sister Sarah has a little boy named Eli. My momma and dad live in Mansfield, Texas--dad is a StateFarm agent, and mom stays at home and works a little bit in his office.
As far as missions goes, I have been to the Dominican Republic. I got baptized there this past summer. It literally rocked my world and I would love to go back one day. I have a heart for Africa, and also Thailand and Southeast Asia in general. Even before I gave my life to Christ I had a heart for human trafficking and orphans. I want to adopt babies from all over :]
I'm 20 years old, i'll be 21 in a coupe of weeks--April 6th. I am almost always watching a movie or reading a book. I am slightly obsessed with Harry Potter and Twilight. I got a Nook for Christmas and I love it. I adore music, all different kinds and I love discovering underground bands before they go mainstream. I have a thing for lyrics. My friends call me "edgy," I call them goobers. I'm my own person, and a free spirit. I almost always have a bow in my hair (the kind little kids wear, but i love them). My hair never stays the same color for more than a couple months--i'm naturally blonde, right now a brunette, we'll see how long it lasts ;].
Most importantly, I love the Lord and every day i'm learning more and more about His will for me. I lead a small group with my good friend Ben over the book Crazy Love and it's been super awesome. I'm crazy excited about this summer and can't wait to meet you guys and dive into whatever plans the Lord has for us!
