::Idiosyncrasies::

Here's the deal...I had a blog a few years ago and got sick of it (no I do not have commitment issues) so I got rid of it. Before I deleted it I saved all of my entries :-) I went back and read them recently and realized that if for nothing else than nostalgia's sake and future entertainment for myself...I need to be blogging again!

Introduction?...Here you have it....me.

I hate driving in the rain

and the taste of coffee

The beach is basically my favorite thing ever...and for my entire life I have only been able to go MAYBE once a year....I...love...the...beach.

Jesus is my everything
I absolutely love the Ohio State Buckeyes and all college football
I really...really...really like cleanliness,order, and simplicity
I only like neutral, muted, and pastel colors
Photography is my love

I don't wear bikinis....ever....I have been told that I have an "overly-modest" complex. Mmmk.

Loud noises scare me

White orchids are my favorite flower of all time

White lilies are a close second
I think recycling is stellar

Sitting on the beach staring blankly at the ocean around dusk/night time is literally, seriously, my favorite place to be. 

I don't deserve God's grace but I have received a TON of it
Clutter stresses me out
I hate fireworks when they are done near me. Far away..I love them.
Vulnerability doesn't come easy to me with everyone...with some people it does though.
I take the word "love" very seriously and it bugs me when other people don't
I despise our advertising industry. Part of me wants to try and change it.
Our movies
Our music
Our television
Our internet
pervert and distort Jesus radical message of love and compassion on every single level
I hate painting my toenails

Tea trumps all
I think the internet (specifically instant messaging) has royally messed up our ability to communicate with each other

I'm good at corn hole...who knew?
Symmetry is very important to me
I love Northface..specifically the fleece
Relationships mean alot to me
I'm a planner
I don't like flirts

When I lay on my back my right arm falls asleep. Always.
If I could live my life behind a camera lens...I think I would
When I sleep in...I can't sleep at night

If I could change one thing about Indiana...yep...you guessed it, it would be on the east coast...
Taking time for the little things is really important to me
I'm a firm believer in keeping things that are supposed to be "special"...."special"
I'm passionate about nutrition and being active
I'm ridiculously organized


My goal in life is to love...unconditionally and with reckless abandon
