So you want to know all about me? Well...I'll give you the highlights :)

I am 23 years old and at the moment, I find myself living in the beautiful country of New Zealand. I have been here since September participating in the First Year Missionary program and will be here until May 15, 2006.

A little bit about me: I absolutely LOVE Jesus Christ and the
A-M
azing GRACE His sacrifice enables us to have each and every day. Along with that though, I love my family back home (I have my mom, dad, my older sister Apryl and brother-in-law Alex). On a personal note, I have a boyfriend of about a year back home named Josh. For kicks, I enjoy hanging out with my friends back in good 'ole Indiana, the sun, sports (mainly basketball and softball, but my dad and I can really get into a good game of tennis), and it sounds completely nerdy, but I truly enjoy reading. Some books on the top of my list include "In The Arena" by Isobel Kuhn  (pretty much anything written by her really), Louie Giglio's "The Air I Breathe,"  (a great book about worship),  most books by Philip Yancey, and I also enjoy reading the ideas of John Wesley, A.W. Tozer, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Listening to music is a favorite as well! Some of my favorites include Relient K, The Rocket Summer, Shawn McDonald, Shane and Shane and David Crowder/The David Crowder Band. (All of which are worth checking out if you have not heard their music before.) That is pretty much me, but if you want to know more, feel free to ask!
