About Me

My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.

It is because of God's grace and for His glory that I "live and move and have my being."

I am currently back in Indiana, studying English Education at Purdue University, far from the home I've come to know and love in Victoria, Australia

My family means the world to me.

      My Cool Cousins

      Okay, guys, I have to say that I have some of the coolest cousins ever! I'd met them before (long ago), but I didn't really remember them too much. It's crazy 'cause they remembered like everything we did at their house! For example, one of them remembered that when I was 8(ish), I left my teddy bear at their house. He even described what it looked like! I remember nothing of this bear, much less leaving it somewhere! But anyhow, we had a blast at the family reunion! We went swimming several times, and even though I've washed my hair twice since, it STILL smells like cholorine! There was also a hot tub, and we had fun going from the pool to the hot tub and back again. Some of us even attempted doing "cannon balls" into the 1 or 2 foot hot tub.

      We also played a lot of basketball. Correction: they played and I attempted to follow along. ;-) There was another family reunion going on at the same hotel, so one night we played a game of basketball with them - our family against theirs. Their family won, but I have to explain that they had this huge black guy (like 6' 5"!!) who, even though he played nicely, had many obvious advantages. I also managed by some miracle to make a three pointer during the game! That was the only time I even had a chance to attempt to shoot it because every other time that I got the ball, a little boy on the other team (I think he was 12) would come up behind me and totally knock it out of my hands. Pathetic, I know. We also played many, many games of free-throw knock-out. During those games, I got to mostly just sit out and watch my indredibly tall and talented cousins play. They even did a few amazing, climbing-up-the-wall dunks. I am proud to mention that Zachary also attempted and succeeded in doing a few. It was pretty fun to watch! Alrighty, I think I'm done ranting and raving about my amazingly great cousins...

      Now, this is totally unlike me, but I am going to end this post here, despite it being pretty short. I hope you all had as wonderful a weekend as I did. :-D

      Verse of the post:
      "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is
      my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn
      of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the LORD, who is
      worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies."

      Song of the post:

      ^-^ If you haven't heard of this band, you have to listen to some of their songs sometime. They're random, nerdy, and hilarious!
