About Me

As I'm sitting here waiting on Ryan to get back home, I'm trying to figure out exactly how this blog spot thing works.


My hopes are that all of Ryan's friends and mine will have a place that they can read about my life and things that are happening here in the East.


I guess I could start off with the fact that I'm almos 23 (in 2 months- October 6th), the oldest of three, and grew up in a town called Brunswick, GA. Brunswick is a tiny town located in between Jacksonville, FL and Savannah, GA. The great thing about this place is it takes me 10 minutes to get to a beach (if I feel like going). I went to Glynn Academy and graduated in 2000 and then headed off to Valdosta State University. I graduated with a Bachelors of General Studies. Now, most of you are like- What the crap is that? Well I originally started off going for Early Ed., but needless to say there were some HUGE bumps that I just couldn't get over and was TIRED of school. So, I took the easy way out and just got a degree.


I then searced FOREVER for a job until I could get back into the grove of teaching. I was also nursing a deep wound of a long relationship of 7 years (where I almost married the guy) that ended horribly. I think that's when I decided to get onto Yahoo personals and a couple of other matching sites to find "Mr. Right". Well, needless to say, within a few months of me graduating, Mr. Right did come along.


Most of you know the story of Ryan and I, so I'm not going to go into too much details.... but needless to say that God really had a hand in putting us two together. We totally didn't deserve each other, but I guess that's what God does. The funny thing is when I met Ryan, I wasn't even a big christian.. and most of you know how big of a christian he is. Well, going around the bush and back to another thought, after we were married I decided to take christ back into my life and totally dedicate myself to living like Jesus. Ryan couldn't have been happier. He actualy baptized me in our bathtub at the house we were living in.


Now, my life is totally dedicated to Christ (which is something I didn't see about this time last year) and living out the Bible. I am one of the leaders in childrens ministry of a new church here in Brunswick called the Chapel that Ryan and I actually stumbled upon while looking for a christian family, working at the YMCA (which is a christian organization), and working on our (ryan and I) orphanage. It's totally amazing to me that hand that God plays in our lives.


Well, enough for now, have more thoughts but I'll post them later... Ryan is waiting on me in order for us to go.
