Ya know how you can read things multiple times, but never really understand the full meaning of it? Happened today! I like it. a lot...Read it ultra slow so you're able to fully digest it!

| About Me: | Hey! My name is Abby. I am in my 2nd year of college .. going to Northwestern in St. Paul, MN in pursuit for Psychology to become a High School counselor!! :D It has become a relief to finally know what God has in plan for my life. I accept Christ 2 years ago and my journey with Christ has been so unbelievably indescribable! I have a lot of energy~I am in cheer leading, choir and band--I play the flute! I love to smile, laugh and be happy!! I have 2 sisters and a 1/2 considerable brother :) I also have a kitty named Patchy Patchy Poo-Poo..She is very special to me! I really enjoy spending time meeting new people and keeping friendships! I love traveling and living life--because who wants to wait to live until they are about to die? God Bless! |
Social
| Interested In: | Being active outside is something I really enjoy! Just to take a random hike in the woods picking flowers and mushrooms! I also love camping and swimming! But when I'm not out in the 'wilderness' I like to ride my bike and I just love walking! I think the psychology/history of chewing gum is very interesting! (See, I made you think about it!) Drinking tea is absolutely wonderful and comforting. I am like the 'master chef' when it comes to making mashed potatoes...I love learning--I even surf wikipedia in my spare time just clicking on the high lighted words. Its fun in the moment even though I usually don't remember much! :) |
| Favorite Music: | Music=Life! I have a major passion for music! I really believe it is a strong stimulant that can either make or break a mood for the current time! I listen to all Christian artists--except for the screaming heavy metal bands! :) My favorite is Toby Mac! My favorite quote from him is "Try Jesus, If you don't like him, the devil will always take you back." |
| Favorite Movies: | I love the seasons of Friends! Absolutely funny! I am also a huge fan of the OC! I don't get around to watching many movies, but if I had to choose a favorite movie I would say the Shrek series! even though thats more than just one! ;) |
| Favorite Books: | My Bible of Course! I am also a huge fan of 'Pride and Prejudice' |
