About me: I grew up in beautiful Kentucky yet my home is now in Oklahoma.
For the past three years I've been serving with Youth With a Mission in Australia. Really? Australia?! I'm a missionary, one of those missionaries who don't get paid. I love youth focus; I wish I could tell them all how much they're worth and valued, the things that they don't see about themselves that God instilled in them, but I can't do it all in a day. So I live here now to finish that project (or until my visa runs up here in Australia).
I am deeply in love with God. I want my passion to be for people, all kinds of people. I love good coffee with little foam art on top. I love sitting my the ocean, or a lake, or sometimes even a pool with a really good book. I get energy by being around people and chatting. I love to laugh. And I especially love hearing other people's laughs. :) I am in love with Josiah Ritner; the love of my life, my fiance. I love my family and cherish the way God designed us. I love myself, which I couldn't say a few years ago. I like Macs and Stride gum. I miss Starbucks. I love rhinestones and sparkles. I love Australia and kangaroos, but not the humidity. I really love friends.
I love life.
Just wanted to say hi and in Australia it's already your birthday (eventhough you're probably still sleeping). So HAPPY BLESSED BIRTHDAY :-) I'm sure you'll have a great day. Love ya Jenny
Hey girl! I miss you guys so much! Are you still in t-ville? Well you probably heard that I moved down to brissy. About 2 months ago now, and Im loving it! I am working as a security guard and doing what I can to get life going down here.
Whats news for you guys? Does Josi still have a myspace?
I have a question for JOSI... I have purchased a domain name for my clothing lable and I just want to link it for now to my existing cafepress site so that when they type in my domain name it goes to my cafepress site. How do I do that?
Whats up Crissa?? Just wanted to touch bases and see how things were going for you.. I am doin great, still here in Iraq for a few more months, pressed for time and energy like no other, but it is good for the time goes by quickly. Drop me a line if you get a chance! Talk to you soon!
i got you and josiah's post card. thanks! it was great :) if you guys would've gotten married during Christmas time, would you have worn that santa's hat instead a veil? hey i noticed on my calendar that Jan. 26 is Australia day. is that Australia's independence day? fireworks and stuff?
