Hello! Since we’re gaining some followers and we’re still new to the blogging game… I thought it might be a good idea to share a little more about myself. I would love to get to know you too! So be sure to leave me a comment on this post sharing a little about yourself as well.
This will be short & sweet (the best way to kick off a busy week ahead), let’s get into it…
- I’m an only child! I grew up having only one really close friend (Jordan), who I am still very close with to this day. We’ve gone through all the milestones together and it’s been such a cool experience to do life with someone I’ve known literally my whole life.
- I played Softball from ages 8 to 17. It was a way for my Dad and I to bond as he was one of my coach’s most of those years. My positions were 3rd base and pitcher and I loved it while it lasted. Unfortunately, I suffered a few injuries along the way and ended up stepping away my junior year of high school.
- I was extremely close with my grandparents growing up! Dot & Papa…I stayed with them a lot as my parents both worked full-time. They were pretty much my best friends. I would make them play pretend school and watch me perform dances. They were troopers for sure. I miss them both so much as they both have gone on to be with the Lord.
- I went to UNCC and Studied Psychology. I changed my desired career path several times along the way…honestly, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I just knew that I wanted to help people in some way. I actually didn’t finish my degree, because my junior year of college I found our marketing team and fell in love with it. I saw that as my future “career” and took a huge leap of faith to pursue it.
- Russell & I grew up minutes apart our whole lives! Yet, we didn’t meet until college through a mutual friend. We even went to the same random Elementary School for a few years…but at different times. So odd. I guess our paths crossed when it was meant to be.
- I had braces for 5 years. The most awkward years of my life. But, it was well worth it. My dad and I just had some strange dental genetics…we both went through some interesting times. I pray I don’t pass those genes to our future kiddos.
- I worked 3 jobs through college to stay afloat and try to offset student loans. Those were honestly some of the busiest yet fun times. I loved being on the “grid” per-say and knowing I was being productive. I was a nanny and a server at a few different restaurants in town.
- I love traveling and making new memories! This is something I’m very excited about. Anytime we get to go somewhere new or experience something for the first time, I am all about it.
- I gave my life to the Lord when I was 21 years old! At a non-denominational worship service at a business conference one (not so random) Sunday morning! The rest is history… that started my new life in Christ and I am forever thankful for the thin-threads that led me there.
- I‘m naturally a home-body! I honestly love staying in with Russ and cuddling up on the couch watching a good movie. It’s my favorite type of date night. We try to do this very intentionally and not make it a regular habit, but I look forward to those nights.
The Abundant life
