About Me

It's really hard to put your whole self into a little typed box, but I will try. Actually, I am pretty boring. I am a pre-med student. I feel that medicine is the tool that God has given me to share His love for people. I cannot wait to be a doctor,but God is teaching me to enjoy and to be thankful for the journey...Trees make me happy, I love the ocean more than any place in the world and I am only minutes away from it--this makes me happy too. Music is a huge part of my life. I like every kind of music out there. I love the cello because the way its music moves is how emotion moves in me...I know it's cheesy,but what can I say? I am a huge fan of the arts. Different cultures and languages fascinate me. I want to travel the world and meet people and hear their stories. I am pretty easy going, but can get fired up over things that are important to me. All the little things matter to me. I love my family and my friends loyally. My relationship with God is the number one important thing in my life. The rest, you just have to get to know me This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!

My Interests


You're 65% Irish
You're very Irish, and most likely from Ireland.
(And if you're not, you should be!) How Irish Are You? Let's see...things I love: Watching my nephews grow up, live music and having the baseline overtake my heartbeat, singing at the top of my lungs in the car when I am all by myself, cooking for my friends and trying new recipes , listening to the waves crash, dancing while doing the dishes, sushi and Thai food with the girls, falafel and hummus, painting as if I knew how, talking over coffee, listening to my dad play the guitar, singing to Jesus, going to Gabriel's House with my crazy friends, making kids laugh, watching cheesy girlie movies, making things by hand, reading a really good book, laughing so hard you cry, when you look at a friend and you both start laughing for no reason at all, Thanksgiving dinner, going for walks in the fall, scarves, drinking tea, driving through a tunnel of trees, riding horses, learning Russian

I'd like to meet:

Jennifer Knapp, Bill Cosby, lots of other people...Paloma, you fill in the blank for me here. ;)

Music:

I don't even know where to start...everything from Coldplay to Rage against the Machine and Metallica to Miles Davis and George Winston to The Band and CCR to James Taylor and Jimmy Buffet to U2 to Blink 182, Groovy Ghoulies to Vavaldi, This Holiday Life and A Mid Day Atlantic ( and not just because they are my friends). Hank Williams because it makes me think of my Grandpa. Norah Jones, BB King, Erick Clapton,Damien Rice, Five O'clock People, lots of cheesy 80's music, some Country. I am a cheese ball, ask anyone who knows me. I can't list all of them, it would take too long and I would miss people anyway, so I think that list is a good start

Movies:

Miracle, The Notebook, The Princess Bride, Top Gun, The Emperor's New Groove, Napoleon Dynamite, The Borne Identity, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Much Ado about Nothing, Gladiator, The Patriot, and lots more

Television:

Heroes, Gilmore Girls, CSI, Law and Order, Grey's Anatomy, Third Watch, Trauma--Life in the ER, Residents, But I don't have much time to watch tv right now

Books:

All the Classics, Silas Marner, Heart of Darkness, Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, The Catcher in the Rye. Anything that sucks me into the story and makes me love the characters.

Heroes:

My dad and my sister, Military families, people who see hope and beauty behind brokenness

how things change

So I found something that I wrote a few years ago and it reminded me of God's goodness, of his faithfulness, and of just how much things can change in a year or two!  I wrote this when my sister ...
