About Me

About me.. I love having fun. I just want to have fun all the time. lol.. but I guess who doesn't? I'm only 20 so I have time.. but I honestly have no idea what I want to do with my life. I thought I knew.. about 10 times, I kept changing my mind. And for once I'm ready to just say.. I don't know. And I don't have to know! I am a Christian. A follower of Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior. No, I'm not a part of a religion because I believe it is about having a relationship with God. But there are plenty of times when I get wrapped up in the way Christians are "supposed to be living" and it becomes like a religion. I need God, I need Jesus, I need his love, and his grace, his mercy, healing, compassion, jealousy, and everything else He is. I need other Christians to surround me and lift me up, to remind me of God's love, because I so easily forget. I love my job... too much probably. I think I may be the only one who enjoys being there, lol. I know some sign language.. and I like it. I want to be a mom. And I really love to SING! My brother, Jonathan, calls me the local wedding singer since every wedding I've been to (minus the 2 when I was a flower girl) I've sang at and every time I do I get people telling me they're going to ask me to sing in theirs... Jonathan told me after his I should start charging.. lol. Sign Language, singing, and to someday be a great wife and mother, but to now be a great daughter, friend, servant, and woman of God ... those are my passions.. I don't really like school.. but I am determined to at least get my Associates degree in Education. Anyway, Still reading and want to know more? Read my interests section.. and thanks for stopping by my space! :)

My Interests

The truth is that I'm a sucker for wasting my time on things like this! I enjoy... spending quality time with Jesus, singing, music- especially when it's blasted, laughing, smiling, talking, texting, hugs, serving Christ, being in a deep state of worship, hanging out with friends, NY RANGERS!!!, sign language, my gadgets- ibook, ipod, digital camera, video camera, and my pink SLVR phone, Christmas, vacations, traveling, road trips, amusement parks, roller coasters, Disney World, puzzles, games, reading (when not forced), dancing (though I'm not very good!), little kids and babies, making crazy home movies and watching home videos from back in the day, Creation Festival, Creative Memories (scrapbooking), chick flicks, baking, decorating cakes/cookies, being domestic, hosting parties, decorating the house for different seasons/holidays, BBQ's, black and white photography, babysitting (sometimes), my bedroom, sleeping, milk chocolate, eating, sneezing, walks, pedicures, Sunday afternoon naps, lemonade coolatta's, retreats, shopping alone, Young Life, warm weather, thunderstorms (as long as I'm not alone), snow days, changing seasons- especially when winter is over and the smell of spring is in the air, walking on crunchy leaves in the fall, listening to the peace of the first snowfall, walking outside and feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin in the summer, sleeping with the rain hitting my roof, sleeping with windows open in about 70 degree weather, flip-flops, skirts, haircuts, make-up, feeling beautiful inside and out, encouraging others, being encouraged, meeting new people and learning about them, discovering common interests in new friends, and being with people that feel like family! I don't enjoy... drivers who brake all the time for no reason, milk, politics, homework, cold weather, guys obsessed with cars, hours wasted watching tv, animals, insecurities, sin, overbearing guys, having to try on clothes in a store more than two times, making decisions, car troubles, having to get up early, opening my big mouth and saying something stupid, having to call people..

I'd like to meet:

I like Faith Hill but this is just funny!! lol... it's short.. check it out! .. God- face to face, and the more time goes on, the more I really want this to happen.. my future husband, any NY Rangers player- but especially Henrik Lundqvist!! Any other NHL player for that matter, David Wright, pretty much any artist listed in my "music" section..

Music:

It's so hard to list all of the bands/artists I like cause I'm always leaving some out and adding some that I really only listen to one song of or used to listen to and not so much anymore. Nevertheless, I LOVE music more than any other kind of "entertainment" like movies, tv, books, etc. Mostly what I listen to is Christian music because it's what I grew up listening to and it just kind of stuck.. I also enjoy some pop, rock, hip-hop, country, oldies, and an occasional instrumental peice... before I start my list..
