About Me

i am a follower of Jesus, forever to the end. i am a girl.[hollaaaa]. i am an introvert. don't underestimate me, though. i am full of surprises. let's see. i want to try everything at least once. ok, maybe not everything. i'm starting a list though. i want to paint. i want to write. i want to dance. i want to learn more, about everything. i want to create. i want to pick up the violin again. i want to go to the opera. i want a scooter. i want to live in a different country. and run tater's orphanage with my husband. but that's in God's hands. i want a willow tree in the front yard of my own house, somewhat out of the city, but not. i want to travel. i want to fill up my passport with different countries. i am a dork. whatya gonna do? its just who i am. i don't like capitalizing the beginning of my sentences. i can bake a mean chocolate chip cookie. but i like to surprise you with them. i really believe it is important to laugh. the best times are when you hit the really-high-almost-non-existant laugh. ladies, we know a little about that, don't we? my day isn't complete until someone sees me run into a wall [or throws a plate of food at me]. it is not worth it if no one gets a laugh out of it. my favorite things to do are click my heels or cartwheels or take it off the wall[car][anna].
