Location United States
Introduction I am an explorer who is 22 years on her way through this adventure called life! I am learning to follow my God and Savior Jesus Christ as the One who's navigating this adventure, and even though I often forget, I'm slowly learning that to know Him better *is* the grand adventure. I'm also a homeschool grad. Music is one of my driving forces -whether it brings happy daydreams or makes me want to dance or go do something grand or crazy. That's probably why I play the fiddle, which I've been loving for 13 years! I am currently working at a farm store/nursery/coffee shop and I think it's pretty much the best ever. I love stories... of heroes, of restoration, of adventure, of intriguing characters whose shoes I wish I could step into every once and a while. I can be a bit off the wall at times (my three younger sisters would heartily agree) and have a fabulous range of interests... like archery, the sea and mountains, talking in all sorts of strange accents, eating ice cream, learning about WW2, and making lists of everything. You hadn't noticed right? After all there's so much out there that's fascinating; you might as well get out there and enjoy it!!
