Welcome to my place.... 

My place... where I get to be my 3 year old self...who is growing, loving everything, lives in bright colors, appreciates the vintage, fascinated by genuine craftiness, and can whine and complain about the illogical rudeness of others that my world could do without. 

My Life in a nutshell... (gee, how did I get into this bloody large nutshell!?)
I graduated from the University of North Alabama with a BS in Public Communications and Psychology in a BEAUTIFUL and historic southern town that drips with culture. I still live in this, my lovely Florence. I am in a transitional phase of my life as a not-so-single, white female as I try to find a place to live for s number of months before tying the knot with my darling Brady. And I love it- learning to love the unknown. My grown up life is somewhat different than my very involved life as student who's hands were in everything from programming, to leading my sorority-and being humbled by it, to learning much discipline from a campus ministry. I often spent my days with my communication classes, soaking in peer time on campus, meeting with people, and seldomly studying. There was a brief time between degrees where I learned what "free time" was and enjoyed real hobbies...like sewing, watching tv, reading novels, and taking road trips. Now that graduate school has picked up with research and internships, but especially since I would much rather spend my time being intentional with Brady and friends and create special things for the big day, I dont see much free time any more...

I am very loud and I love it. I am often recognized by my laugh and hospitality. I love serving people and getting to know the hearts of people. I enjoy creating things that have that special look of wonder and drips with charm and poise. I love all things dainty.

I love people. I love learning about them and understanding them, because frankly we just want to be understood. Thats why I'm going to attempt a masters in counseling! My Myers-Briggs is ESFJ (Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging) so understand that I am energized by large groups and close friends, enthralled by details and organization, make my decisions based on my emotions, and enjoy planning out my tasks and keeping an orderly environment. I so believe that when you know yourself, you can better understand others. I am excited to go to school to be further equipped in dealing with people and helping them solve issues by listening and understanding themselves. 

This is my life. 

Where most of my time is filled with new experiences and determination to grow as a person. I am being sanctified to realize more and more that that means depending on the Lord to change and soften my heart to become more like Him. This is His grace toward me.

So I am just growing up and stumbling my way towards Jesus. Its ok though, because He picks me up. Often. 

I hope you can enjoy this world of mine.

May you be inspired, wizened, or at the very least, entertained :)
