I am 34 years old, and I live in beautiful Fort Collins, CO! I love the three places I have ever called home, Louisiana, Colorado, and of course UGANDA!

This blog will continue to chronicle, as it has for almost eight years now, my journey of discovering who Jesus is and learning to follow Him daily. I invite you to join me in my journey and hang on for the ride!

Sincerely,
