About Me

My number one goal in life is to glorify God in whatever I do. I certainly fail in that area with some regularity, but through God's grace I'm sure I will continue to live a life of improvement (or sanctification if you're impressed by a $5 word).I have a family that I love very much. Sadly, geography seems to have waged war against us. Two parents in FL, two sisters in OH, and a sister and brother-in-law in NH. None of us live within 600 miles of each other. On a positive note, I guess that means I can pretty much live wherever I want.I try to always remember that life is fun! I kind of like all of it, even the parts I don't really understand or appreciate...even that's still interesting. plain layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com music / movies

My Interests

There's so much cool stuff to see and do in the world, there really isn't much that doesn't interest me at least a little. I just like to always be doing...something/anything?running, reading, tulips, snowmobiles, waterskiing, puppies, rainy nights, running in the rain, boating, wakeboarding, greek-revival architecture, forged and balanced rotating assemblies, new shoes, lots and lots of music of all types all the time, four wheelers, hot showers, hot chocolate, hotties, working out, fresh cut lawns, Corvettes, vegas baby vegas, hundred year old brick, the grace and sovereignty of God, downhill skiing, cross country skiing, Harleys, crotch rockets, Andrea Palladio, Browning shotguns, Dr Pepper, Beak and Skiff, softball, the lake, the beach, the slopes, ultimate frisbee (really playing any sport), Pikes Peak, crepe myrtles, 4x4 trucks, mint chocolate chip ice cream, dirt bikes, the Strip, John Deeres, going to the symphony or any live music, Niagara Falls

I'd like to meet:

How about a girl who loves the Lord with all her heart, soul, strength, and mind...and has a pretty smile too?

The Great Gatsby, The Discipline of Grace, Great Expections, Where the Red Fern Grows, and the Bible

Heroes:

I think it trivializes the diety of Christ to use the label of mere hero...but on the other hand Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience and died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. There is nobody who I could aspire to be more like and nobody who will ever have so much of an impact on my life.
