About Me

Iâ€™m a reformed tomboy (thanks to a determined mother). I love my family. I actually enjoy their company. I love that my family doesn't watch football on Holidays. There are 18 of us and the TV never gets turned on. I am an aunt to 5 beautiful and intriguing children. I have close friends who are very different from each other. I think it would be mass chaos if I ever had all of my friends in one room. But I would still like to try it once. I like the city but love the country. I'm in a transitional season in life regrouping,refueling,redefining -You might find me sitting on a rooftop watching the sunset/stars processing, talking with my best friend, or just appreciating beauty. Kindness has become one of my favorite qualities about people. I love adventures, new experiences, other cultures, loyal friends, to laugh, and genuineness. I love the God who gives these gifts to me. I feel most alive when I am outside. Nature is my constant reminder that there are seasons to everything.
