I’m a photographer, a writer, a crocheter, a reader, and a child of God.  That last part is the source of everything else.   I am saved by grace, and I thank God for the blessings He continually pours into my life.
My main interests in life include journaling, Harry Potter, and Wheatus.  I also thrive on the music of Relient K, O.A.R., and The Shins.  I am incessantly drinking Arizona tea.

I was born in Gainesville, Florida while my mum was in graduate school.  I spent my days on the back of my father’s bicycle, riding the streets of town, only to go home to watch Zorro and Popeye.  My first word was “alligator”.  When I was five we moved to Jacksonville and I acquired two brothers.  I’ve spent the remaining of my life, thus far, here, in a city where it takes 45-minutes to get across town (and everything is always across town) and everything closes at 9p.  I went to a college prep high school (Paxon) and was the school’s photographer.  I was also in the drama club productions and on the thespian troupe.  Now I’ve just started my sophomore year in the city’s community college where I have covered the pre-reqs for five different majors– Education, English, Religion, Philosophy, and Journalism–but am just starting my first Gen Ed classes. You know, the classes I actually HAVE to take.  I’m majoring in English and Religion these days.  My dream job is to be a photojournalist for Sports Illustrated. I plan to be an ESE Kindergarten teacher.
