About Me
When my mind from fear and doubt is ever-weak,
when my soul and eyes are cloudy with sadness deep;
even when my heart with brokenness is filled,
I will sing His name.
I will praise Him, still.

first of all, i want to say that after 26 years of living, i only know three things for certain: God has already blessed me with more than i will ever deserve, i am wholly and unspeakably imperfect, and life goes on.
as for a description of myself, the following is the best that i can give you. and if after reading the whole thing you decide you'd like to know the truth, you can always find out here , here , or here . :)
My best friend says I only have two speeds, "wide-ass open and asleep". Based on that (and a few other minor things), I'd like to think I'm a pretty simple girl. Life is way too short to fill it with a bunch of whining and complications. With good company, anything I'm doing, even nothing, can be a great time. I love people, and I love caring, serving, and doing for others. My daddy once told me that when I grew up, I'd be able to count my true friends on one hand and still not use all my fingers. He was right. God is way too good to me, and my life is beyond blessed...
Unless I'm at work or somewhere nice, you'll probably find me in jeans and a sweatshirt. I'm hyper-verbal when nervous, which probably sounds impossible to those who know me because I already talk a whole lot. I am a believer in and a follower of Christ. I think I spend more money on thank-you notes than I do on clothes and food... combined. I love big earrings. I just remembered I hate clowns and snakes. Get me near either one, and I will scream loudly while running in the opposite direction. I love going hunting with my dad. I hate being hot; you can put on enough clothes to get warm if you're cold, but you can be naked and burning up. I'm NOT okay with that! I also can't stand to be rushed or hurried to do something; talking and driving are the only things I'm guaranteed to do with speed, so go ahead and get used to that.
I am: passionate, affectionate, opinionated, low-maintenance, constantly laughing, afraid of the dark, overly excited about most things most of the time, addicted to coffee, too self-conscious, rather naïve, and always busy and taking on too much stuff. Oh, also, I have a gum-chewing habit. I am constantly switching out pieces because I wanna keep the flavor of the first two minutes. I mean, that IS when it tastes the best, right?
I'm fluent in Spanish, I love to travel, and I love music. Aside from my faith and the people I love, I think I'm more passionate about music than anything else. I play the saxophone, want to learn the guitar, and I'm always singing something...

Life is like an onion:
You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.
