Passions: I’m passionate about Jesus, and about motivating others to share that passion! I’m passionate about experiencing life to its very fullest, and being pleasing to God. I’m passionate about developing strong, healthy relationships with as many different people as I possibly can. And I’m super passionate about the incredible man God allowed me to marry, and the kids he blessed us with.
Favorite things to do: Walking in my neighborhood, or when I can, being in the mountains–hiking, climbing, snowshoeing, exploring. I love being outside in God’s creation, breathing clean air and rejoicing in all his created world! I love watching the birds out my kitchen window at the birdfeeder. I love writing and journaling. I love great books.
