It is hard to know where to start, or even what to say when trying to
describe myself to people I have never met before! I suppose the
beginning of my 21 years is as good a place as any to begin. I was born
on September 19, 1986 to two loving parents and an awesome older
sister. Since then, there have been three more gifts from God added to
our family, giving my Dad four weddings to pay for and a son to carry
on the family name (he is the baby- 11 years old now)! Needless to say,
there was never a dull moment growing up, and always someone to play
with. My parents introduced me to the Lord before I could even talk,
and through their godly example, I trusted Christ as my Savior when I
was seven years old. I grew up loving the outdoors, playing sports,
going to church, going to camps, etc. I was home schooled until 5th
grade, and then attended a very small private school (I graduated with
25 classmates)! Because my school was so small, it was easy to be
involved in sports, student government, and various extracurricular
activities. I am now a senior (about to graduate… with thousands of
other students) at Clemson University. Since my time here, I have been
involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), intramural
sports, small group Bible studies, and simply building relationships
with some pretty amazing people. So here I am-a simple girl who loves
life, spending time with people, new places, cooking, sports, the
outdoors, the Lord and His Word, the lake, spring days…and much more!
