About Me

If you read the little blurb next to my little picture, you already know that I'm a lazy perfectionist. I guess that is a little vague. So, I guess I'll give you a little more background information so you can get to know me a little better.

I am originally from the Midwest and have been temporarily (I hope) transplanted to the East Coast. My husband and I are out here while he is in seminary studying to be a pastor. We both grew up in loving Christian homes and graduated from the same Christian college where we met on the third day of our freshman year. I sort of chased him for about a year and then we finally started dating our sophomore year of college and got married the summer after we graduated. I am a born again believer hoping to continually grow in my relationship with Christ.

I majored in secondary English education. I was dead-set on teaching high school English in a public school as soon as I graduated. Well, God likes to keep me humble because I'm currently teaching 6th grade everything (math, science, history, English) in a small Christian school. I just finished up my certification for teaching English as second language since about 1/3 of my class doesn't speak English, and I'm in charge of our school's after school tutoring program which caters to ESL students.

So why do I blog? Well, I love to write. The only problem is, writing intimidates me. I tend to get too perfectionistic (hence the name of this blog) and then don't write at all. I've tried blogging before. I think this is technically my 4th blog I've started. I'm really hoping that I can keep it going this time. I really want to. I'm hoping to be honest with myself and my readers. I want to work through some of the issues I've been carrying around with me my whole life and think writing is the best way for me to do that.

My goal for this blog is to encourage others not to worry about perfection. Life doesn't need to be perfect. It's just a matter of convincing ourselves of that. I'm hoping to show you glimpses into the imperfections of my life in order to help you cope with the imperfections in your life. So don't expect perfect pictures shot with perfect cameras. Expect to see messes and flops. Expect to see how God is working through these messes and flops in order to mold me into the woman he wants me to be.
