I used to worry, then I learned that 10 out of 10 people die.

About Me

There's a lot to tell. But... I love God... kind of a lot. I love my family and my friends. I really like my dog, his name is Buck. I enjoy listening to music and doing nothing, reading and escaping reality and watching movies that make me think a lot. I love romantic comedies... a lot. I really love summer. I think that nature is incredible. I really like laughing... and people who make me laugh. I ask a lot of questions. I love learning about people and places and hearing stories. I really enjoy writing- just about anything as long as I'm interested. I really want to travel, I don't think there is a place in the world I wouldn't want to visit. I'm not really sure what I want to major in in the future. But I hope someday to pursue missions. But I'm up for anything the Big Man upstairs wants for me.I have so much to learn and I can't wait to learn it.-----Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. -Charles M. Schulz
