I'm spunky and not afraid to laugh at myself. I love a good book, and probably eat too much ice cream for a normal human being. I married my high school sweetheart Tyler - we met through friends and the first thing he said to me was, "hey babe". His flirting game with me has improved since then. I'm not generally witty (my hubby makes up for that), so when I think of something clever, I'm pretty proud of myself.

We have a beautiful daughter named Haven and a sweet son named Zealand. My all-time favorite movie is Home Alone. If it's on, I'm watching it. We also have a fluffy dog named Wrigley. Although I absolutely love traveling around the world, I live in small town Nebraska and couldn't love the culture here more. There's nothing like knowing your neighbors and the barista at the coffee shop by name.

I have a love/hate relationship with social media (face-to-face relationships are so much more life-giving). I'm a night owl and I only get up early because I have two littles. Most importantly, I love Jesus. I chose to follow him when I was 16 years old, and my ambition since then has been to spread His unconditional love to everyone in my life.
