About Me

i am currently learning to walk by faith and not by sight. i am absolutely terrible at driving those hotel luggage cart things, so they always end up turned over. i love falling asleep on the couch watching tv. i think a good book and a cup of coffee is the best way to spend a rainy afternoon. i think that jumping in puddles and splashing kevin is the second best way to spend a rainy afternoon. i really dislike loud noises. i have been known to explode into uncontrollable fits of laughter, and the phrase "your giggle box is turned over" only fuels the fire. if i were an animal, i would be a lion, and i would roar all the time. i can wander around a bookstore for hours without getting bored. and above all, there is a love in my life greater than any i have ever known.

getting older
