This seems like a beneficial idea...

It seems the customary thing to do when starting a blog is to tell about yourself...just a few fun facts, or deep personal things. I like...inbetween-typish-stuff. So that is what i'll do.

1) I've played soccer since i was 4. Nothing compares to it nor gives me the same adrenaline rush; there is just something about fighting as a team for a goal that makes every bruise and scratch worth it. Might as well admit that i find joy in hitting people to, when i can and semi when it is appropriate. What can i say, i REALLY get into it sometimes.

2) Books are addictive. So are puzzles. I'll spend hours reading and getting emotionally invested in a book, or have my eyes glued to a puzzle until the last piece is in. I admit, i cried like a baby when Sirius dies in The Order of the Phoenix. I was emotionally attached and sad to see him go.

3) Heels...no. can. do.

4) When i met my now best friend, i was 5, maybe 6, and treated her kinda meanly. A few years later, we were inseparable. I love her with all my heart <3

5) I attended Donegal High School where I played soccer. My Junior and Senior year our team ended up as District Finalists and won States. Not many memories can best those feelings of utter joy!

6) I don't have one favorite movie, i have many: Remember the Titans, We Are Marshall, Princess Bride, The Lord of the Rings Series, The Harry Potter Series, The Pirates of the Caribbean Series, Secret Window, Willow, Legend, Grease, Tangled, Sleepy Hollow, Alice in Wonderland, Reign of Fire. I could keep going on but i'll spare you.

7) I'm a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Yankees, New York Giants, Manchester United, and the U.S. Women's soccer team.

8) God has blessed me with a heart for youth and ministry. Praying that one day i can go into the mission field and work in Africa with children and provide some solutions to agriculture and water.

9) the number 9 is one of my favorite numbers, the other is 23. Why? Mia Hamm was number 9 and David Beckham was number 23. Currently hold number 23 as my own on the Messiah Club team, and proud of it!
