"I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. I am not what I hope to be. But still, I am not what I used to be. And by the grace of God, I am what I am." -John Newton

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years" - Abraham Lincoln. ~ Dreamer, optimist, artist of sorts, friend, daughter, sister, coworker, wanderer, woman, girl. ~ I want to travel: Prince Edward Island, New Zealand, Alaska (to see the northern lights), the red wood forests in California, and Hawaiia are places I wish to visit. ~ I love adventures. I want to hang-glide, sky-dive, mountain-climb, and deep-sea dive, among other things. ~ I love to write and sing. I love making friends. I love my family, which is plentiful. ~ I want to help people. ~ I'm trying to figure out what God has in store for me, what His plan is. I love my Savior, and this life He has given me.
