I love Jesus.

I’m far from perfect, make mistakes daily, strive to be kind in all situations, and am grateful for a loving God in all my weakest and greatest moments. My faith is so important to me and something I hope others will glean from the time around me.

I am Married.

I met my husband Ben in nursing school. Totally not planned as I had moved around and decided to come back home to go to RN school. Ben is an ER nurse and lawn care guy. He never gets stressed about anything.

I am a doggie mama.

Lilly is a Yorkie and a definite diva. She rules her turf, loves toys, and cuddles with her mama. She also has her own Instagram: @lillytontherun.

I love quiet time.

An introvert in a lot of ways. I am built back up in my quiet times. I love being outside - planting flowers, watching the garden grow, kayaking, walking with friends, and exploring nature. Being outside lifts my spirits. Family and friend time is unique and special and something I don’t want to take for granted.

I am a survivor.

I live with severe food allergies. I don’t leave the house without emergency medicines and a bag full of allergen-friendly snacks. I also fight anxiety and depression. But the cool thing is that I’m learning each day to be proud of myself and that I can overcome anything with God on my side.
