About

I'm 26 years old.
Grew up in the mid-west and in the UK.
I love people.
I love Jesus.

I'm adopted.
I have 3 wonderful (half) sisters.
1 brother.
1 Mom & Dad.

I laugh loud.
I sing loud.
I think loud.
I dance loud.
I love loud.
I listen loud.
But...I live quiet.

I love adventure.
I find beauty in the ordinary.
And music in the quiet.
Calm in the chaos.
Love in the pain.
Light in the darkness.

Almost there!

It's almost my birthday! Which is funny because usually I make it a big deal, because I'm kind of a big deal...(Ron Burgundy anyone!?) But this year, it's really not a big thing. It's going to be such a low-key day, and that's actually OK with me. I'm realizing that …

We will definitely keep you posted. I have not had a chance to pick up Rob Bell's new book but I am sure it is good. By the way, thank you for The Irresistable Revolution, mind blowing, I was 3/4 of the way done with it and I ended up giving it to a friend in Nashville, I think we have another copy somewhere around the house.

Like the shirt! Sorry we missed you in Chicago, we had to leave tour to shoot some stuff for MTV. Next time though. I think we are going to be in Grand Rapids in May for a Fireproof fundraiser.
