Who I Am

   Hello all. Welcome to my blog. This is where I like to write about the projects I am working on, new recipes I am trying and the things that inspire me.

   I am 26 years old, moved to Southeast Pennsylvania in Fall of 2011 with my husband Defryn. We married right before we moved here from Oregon. I have a new puppy, his name is Diezel and he is an Australian Cattle Dog/Collie mix. I am working hard at training him right now. I am on staff, part time, at our local church.

   I love to refinish furniture, run, sing. play the piano, cook, decorate, create, construct, do practically anything out doors, mountain bike, archery, shooting and all snow sports. I wear cowboy boots almost everywhere. In the winter I LOVE warm winter vests, Cute gloves and mittens,Pashmina shawls/scarfs, a good eggnog latte and curling up on the couch with my husband or pinterest (Whichever is available). In the spring and summer, I look forward to sitting on my back porch and reading a good book, laying out by the pool, riding my street bike, trail running in the hills and running races with Defryn.

   I have 3 beautiful Step kids which I love very much. I get to see them a couple times a year. Kason is almost 7, Nicole is 10 and Sarah is 14. All three have amazing talents and gifts and I am privileged to know them.

   I try to maintain a healthy balance of productivity and me time. I do not like being a busy bee, so I do take care of myself. I love sitting with a cup of coffee and looking out one of the beautiful bay windows in our house or sitting on the back porch doing the same. I find a lot of peace in quiet reflection. God had blessed me immensely and I try to count my blessings every day. Sometimes it is hard. Sometimes it seems like there is no relief from pain or trials. But this I know, He is faithful, He never fails and He loves me.
