Now I am not, nor do I think I will ever be, the poster child for Christianity. Can I be a "poster child" at 32 years old? ANYWAYS.. I know there is a creator of our world, GOD, and He sent His son, JESUS, to die for our sins and be our savior. To me, the Bible isn't just "the good book," but a history book and one that even has a manual on how to live life in the best way possible by a creator who wants nothing more than to love us unconditionally and use all things for the good of those who choose to accept His free gift.

Met this boy in 3rd grade, felt a pull toward him in middle school, 8th grade summer we became best friends, and now we are married with 4 children. He is a protector, our providing, so loving, and such a fun person to do life with. I love that I can depend on him. I love that he didn't necessarily need to prove himself but his actions made it so clear that being a submissive wife to him wouldn't be a problem. Married my best friend and I pray it continues to be a blast and that I have the privilege to annoy him for years to come!

If you knew me as a student, you'd understand why I never thought homeschooling would be something I would put myself through. When I had my first born, my son, I couldn't even fathom trusting anyone else to raise him, teach him, and have all that time away from our family, especially if I was going to be a stay at home mom. Now, I can tell you that homeschooling has added to our family values, my new found love for learning, the joy of being alongside my children as they hit milestones, and has brought so much quality family time as my children learn in the ways that are most beneficial to them individually.

I may have played sports growing up, at random times. I will also be 100% honest that I wasn't going to go anywhere in that athletic world. I was always the "Skinny girl"; however,  7 pregnancies later (I was a surrogate twice) my body has been through some THANGS & Im trying to treat her with love and care even though Im navigating how to accept that this is my new starting point when it comes to my outward appearance. Now, as someone who was given the blessing of running a love filled home, my health and fitness isn't just about me. I love challenging my body. Also, I just gave birth (April 12, 2024) so my postpartum journey will be interesting to share as this is the HEAVIEST I have ever been.
