Everyone has a journey and a story that has made them who they are today. There is no chance I saw myself starting a blog as a high school student from Northeast Ohio. I mean my strengths were always math and sports.
Anyway in a few words who am I? Jesus-lover. Boy mom. Disney fan.
I want to share with you all the beauty that the two of us find in life but to do that I feel like you need to know where I come from.
I am a Midwestern girl at heart. I cheer for the Ohio State Buckeyes and wish it was fall all year long. I mean who doesn’t love boots and sweaters? I spent the younger years of my life so carefree surrounded by family and worked so hard in school. I always loved sports, especially all the lessons I learned from them. I ran track and cross-country and played basketball in high school. But most importantly, I’m thankful that my parents taught me to center my life around God and what He says.
After graduation I decided to stay close to home on a track scholarship but then God got ahold of my heart. I headed to downtown Chicago to spend the next 5 years in a city I would fall in love with. While finishing undergrad I had the opportunity to play basketball for my school and loved the people I met through that. Gosh, I love people. Just what you can learn from people who are different from you or just plain know more than you!
Chicago was a dream. I worked at Starbucks and coached basketball. There was so much I loved about Chitown. Michigan Avenue shopping and eating. The Lincoln Park Zoo. And ohhhh the Lakefront. I was in love. In addition to that I got to cheer for the Cubs and running a Chicago Marathon.
Next up I was destined to be back in Ohio, this time as an official Ohio State Buckeye. I had the opportunity to be a Graduate Assistant in Recreational Sports and I just loved it! Of course I went to all the football/basketball games and concerts that I could. Some of the best years of my life. Go Buckeyes!
After grad school, I moved to Florida and couldn’t wait to get back to Disney. I had only been once before moving here but now I’m hooked. So much more on my life since moving here to come but I wanted you to know just who we are and what we represent.
Look for lots of Jesus, Disney, Orlando, self-care, community, parenting and so much more. We thank you for following along!
