About Me

As a writer, I feel a bit trapped. I'm on this side of my computer. And, well, you're somewhere out there. 

So maybe you don't understand everything I say. Or maybe I say things wrong. Or maybe you just don't know me well enough to truly understand these odd things that I'm sharing with you.

Therefore, I'd like to share a bit more about myself so you can kind of imagine who I am (I mean, if that's your thing...) and get a glimpse of my personality & experiences.

In no particular order: 

I'm a listener.
I'm a talker. 
I am obsessed with Jesus.
I fail constantly.
I'm an introvert. 
I went to seminary.
I'm a grammar freak.
I really really like reading.
I constantly worry.
I am a planner.
I have a husky named Cooper.
I'm married to my best friend. 
We have two kiddos.
