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.
Living in America and loving in Australia, I am blessed indeed.

- I'd have to say...
I miss the rush of excitement after looking out my window and viewing a fresh new blanket of snow.
I miss bracing myself before stepping outside to face the wintery day.
I miss the first cloudy breath upon entering the frozen world.
I miss the numbness in my fingers after yielding to the temptation to gather some of the beautiful whiteness into my bare hands.
I miss the sting of my cheeks in the heat of a snowball fight.
I miss the attempts to build snowmen, even when the snow is far too powdery.
I miss the hand that pulls me up off my back so as to not mar my newly-created snow angel.
I miss the train of sleds behind Grandpa's tractor while he drags us through his snowy fields.
I miss the ache of my arms after attempting to help shovel the driveway.
I miss the cautious baby-steps across the driveway, ever-conscious that I could slip and fall at any time.
I miss searching frantically for a glove that at least slightly resembles the one I have on.
I miss plastic bags over my socks to keep off the snow that seeps through the holes in my boots.
I miss frozen shoe-strings.
I miss waiting for our old car to heat up, only to finally get comfortable upon arriving at our destination.
I miss calling people up, trying desperately to get a group together to go sledding.
I miss our dog, Paul, thinking snow was the best meal he could get.
I miss the blinding but but beautiful glitter of the sun's reflection on the snow.
I miss frozen strands of hair, sticking to my face.
I miss the longing for mom's home-made hot chocolate, after a hard play in the snow.
I miss the pile of wet snowsuits, mittens, hats, and scarves at the bottom of the basement stairs.
I miss Indiana Winter.
You are blessed, my Hoosier friends. I truly hope you realize...
Be safe, and enjoy some for me, if you can.
