CURRENT MISSION

To get as much out of every day as possible. To view each person, experience, place I come across as a chance to broaden my horizons.

ABOUT ME

I'm a carnivore. I love hands and hugs. I believe fast cars were made to be driven hard and am disappointed if they aren't manual. I love my family and friends and am extremely loyal but have learned to stand on my own. I tend to have a messy room but an extremely organized closet. I can't live without my planner but have no problem crossing things out and changing them around. I love Jesus Christ and want to live a life that pleases Him, but still so often struggle at it. I love to make lists. I love to wake up and realize I can go back to sleep.

PHILOSOPHY

One of the thoughts that dictates most of my decisions is how will I feel in a week, a year, 10 years, if I do/don't do this? I don't want to have to look back and have regrets. You only get one chance and I intend to make the most of mine. I'd rather die young REALLY living life, than die old and have done nothing with my life (though I would still like to die old).

Interests

I'm interested in trying nearly anything once. I love photography, volleyball, most outdoor sports (though I don't do any very often), shaking my bootie, being with my family and friends, travelling anywhere, playing violin with my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Europe, found a job, and lived there for over 7 months without really knowing anyone before I left home. I jumped off a 20 meter cliff into the Adriatic, played Bach solo violin in G, sat on a hill over Sarajevo and listened to hundreds of calls to prayer, was in Pamplona for the running of the bulls, and sat in a car in the jungle of South Africa while a herd of elephants walked all around (and nearly over) us.
