About Me

It's been a whirlwind of a year! Jason and I celebrated our first year together. We bought a new car, bought a house, moved out of the city and back to the country, joined a new church, and added a new puppy to our family. Seems like everytime I turned around, something else wonderful was happening. We're now being faced with our first major valley - my contract with my employer was revoked due to the struggling of the mortgage industry. I find myself looking for a new career after 5 years with my previous employer. I am working on being obedient to God and following His direction for my life.
