"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I think that quote is my goal & what I try to focus on in the small moments & in the bigger decisions. I've been given time on this earth by a Sovereign God & he has given me (& everyone) the ability to decide what to do with the time I have. So here I am...committed to the Pacific Rim World Race January 2022. Wow. This commitment is just the next decision in this chain of decisions we call life. 

I'm 21. I love to meet new people & hear their stories. I love to experience new places & make memories that last. I'd say that music is one of my greatest passions & I've played violin for a majority of my life. Spanish has been a pursuit of mine in the most recent years of my life & learning to speak another language has been so challenging but even more gratifying. Stories...either in books or movies or shows, with a lot of meaning and depth are my favorite pastime. A newer interest & lifestyle for me has been health & exercise. So yeah, that's me in a paragraph.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself to anyone who might read this !!
