I adore my family. I have been created in the image of God and bear His handiwork but I am flawed and daily looking to Him to refine and change me so that I resemble more and more of the beautiful art He intends me to be. I love to laugh. I love people. I love the country of Turkey and it's people, it's food, it's culture, and even sometimes it's weather. I am the granddaughter of an Alabama farmer and teacher and the daughter of the two most amazing parents anyone could wish for. I love nature, hiking, shopping, cooking, and hospitality. I am addicted to tea, yogurt, cucumbers and watermelon and hope to spend my whole life in obedience to my Jesus who has utterly changed my whole way of being through His life, His words, and His death and resurrection!
