About Me:: I'm 26 years old and the 2nd oldest of 8 children. I still live at home(or as my mom says, I still pick up my mail at their address) and have an active traveling life...=) I operate a private piano studio out of my home and also teach flute. Music is a big part of my life! I play the pipe organ for our small, Baptist church. Yes, I said pipe organ. I've studied organ, piano and flute privately and still try to take lessons when I can.

I love running, biking, outdoors, beauty, dark chocolate, going to the symphony, my amazing family, classical music, photography, interior design, Architectural Digest, traveling, italian food, and shoes. =D God is the center of my life and I desire to glorify Him in all I do and pursue Him with all I have.

That's all my tired mind can think of for now. Feel free to visit my blog to learn more about my life and family and friends!
