About Me

I thrive for adventure, the next fun idea and made memory- I have a difficult time sitting still, yet often find myself needing just that- I want to see the world, experience it all, never settle with the mundane- on the other hand I appreciate the quiet, the sun rising upon its horizon in the mornings, the dewy grass, fresh falling rain, the aroma of a new day- heartfelt conversations are priceless interactions- relationships of family and friends I hold dear- I am thankful for lessons learned, and am continually learning those lessons I eventually come to appreciate- I strive to live as a reflection of my gracious God- I am a sucker for happy endings- lastly, I am always learning: always learning more about myself, others, and life in general- how about you… how would you answer the “about me” of you?
