Hi!
A little about me and my family...
 |
| Me in 11 inches of snow one weekend in December 2012 |
I'm from and still live in Minnesota. Winters here are long and cold, but coffee and snow tubing makes it better. My family includes my mom, dad, sister (pictured below) and two cats. We're an adventurous crew with a love for travel and Christ-like passion for helping people. I go to Mount Olive Lutheran Church and attend youth group at GracePoint Church.
I've just graduated from high school along with finishing a year at Bethel University studying art. Next year I'll be doing mission work in the Dominican Republic for eight months. Read this post and visit my other blog for more info.
Why "Sea Glass and Ribbons"?
I always get really excited when I spot sea glass on the beach. Sea glass represents my love of travel especially to beaches, my time with family on trips and just that it's just plain pretty. And ribbons, well I love crafting, sewing, and making things new and all the better if it involves ribbons! I know it's random, but I wanted something unique :)

That's the Guatemalan spelling on my name! My parents just translated into English. I just added a GFC on my sidebar :)

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog from Christian Women bloggers and I am so glad that I did! I'm a college freshman so we're pretty close in age and it is so encouraging to see young people so deep in their faith. Have a wonderful day:)
