I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm Hope :) I love the city of Austin and will soon be moving there. I like earthy colors and all natural things. Earthbound is my favorite store in the mall. I like to be outside, especially on pretty days. I like awkward silences...mostly because it's funny to see people get nervous during them. I like to collect books, not always with the intention of reading them. I have made tons of mistakes, but through it all I've figured out who God wants me to be. I'm learning to take things slower. If you want to know more, just ask ;p
