Brief biography

Fact: I like to write. Fact: I think about A LOT of things (sometimes a little more than I should).  For these reasons, and several others, I have decided its time to put my thoughts on paper (or computer if you will) so over time I can reflect on life a little more. So that's what this is: a collection of my thoughts, dreams, prayers, and questions about this world and our awesome, Heavenly Father. I thought I would start with a mini bio about myself (and for those of you that know me pretty well, keep reading, I know you will find something you don't know.)

*Middle Name: Kay (named after my aunt, Katrina Kay.)
*I am 1 of 4 children. Brandon was the oldest (he passed away when I was 3 from heart problems), Me (23), Eric (21), and Brandi (19).  I didn't always get along with my younger siblings. Actually, until this past year we didn't have much in common. But that is all changing in a great way.
*I grew up in a pretty poor family and have learned to be so thankful for what I have. I don't want a lot or need a lot to be content.
*I have been married for 3 years to my husband Eddie, although still have never been to his home country, Colombia. (Hopefully that will change this year.) No children yet, but hope to have a big family. Which leads me to my next fact...
*I have a heart for adoption. Eddie and I both are excited at the thought of adopting oversees when God says the time is right.
*I took 4 years of Spanish, so even if I can't respond to a question, I know exactly what you are saying, so don't talk about me...
*Music is my life. I have taken piano and guitar lessons but haven't mastered either. I love to sing, but mainly when no one is around!
*Favorite food: Chips and salsa or anything spicy!
*Favorite soda: Addicted to diet coke.
*Favorite dessert/candy: I'm not picky. I eat just about anything that has sugar in it.
*My grandparents are a huge part of my life and without them I wouldn't be who I am today.
*I work in Human Resources, which I really enjoy. The downside: I think I have practically become immune to people's hardships because I hear so many on a daily basis. I'm working on changing my attitude about this.
*I was a nerd in school. I'm not exaggerating. It paid off when I went to college: 4 years of private school completely paid for.
*My major in college was Business, with an emphasis in HR, but I actually went to KWC to be a youth minister and graduated with a minor in Christian Ministries from Kentucky Wesleyan.
*By being married to Eddie, I have become a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan over the past 3 years. Go Cards!
*Favorite music: Hillsong, Bethany Dillon, David Crowder Band, Britt Nicole, Chris Tomlin
*I am working on a daily basis to become more real with people. A good friend told me again tonight we aren't made to keep everything to ourselves. I am striving to be genuine and honest with those who love me so we can truly "do life together."

Ok, that was a little more than a "mini" bio, but it's what is important to me. I'm sure you will learn more as I keep this updated. Praying for warmth and safety for you all on this cold, snowy night.
