And it begins….

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you - this is the LORD's declaration - plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

He never claims that I'll know His plan for me all the time!  So here I am… blogging… posting stats/thoughts/dreams about myself, a certain state of vulnerability I rarely willingly choose. However, advice from friends should never go unheeded (Thanks Jen!). Who knows? Maybe this is part of His plan...

So, a little about me…

My "Beauty" Half

Best physical attribute: I'd have to go with eyes, due to the amount of comments I've received, ranging from color to expressiveness. 

Body type: athletically curvy… is that even an option?  guess it is if it's your own blog!

Make-up: I wear it… Dad always said "If the barn needs painting…" And I always listen to my dad.

"Beauty" Personality: My laugh outs my location. My enjoyment of food is found from my Pinterest boards to the list of recipes or restaurants I want to try. I should probably set up a cot at the sand volleyball courts in the summer. I love the comedic duo that is Tina Fey & Amy Poehler.

Elves on the shelf… won best group costume!

Lauren and I volunteering, supporting my heritage!

My "Brain" Half

Education background: Christian schools, Engineering Bachelor's, MBA

Career: prior Air Force officer, currently a Protocol Specialist

Coolest Air Force opportunity: I got to run some experiments on NASA's "vomit comet"… experiencing "weightlessness"/"zero gravity" shames roller coasters.

"Brains" Personality: Everything has a place. Numbers are fun. Play the piano. People are the world's unsolved puzzle and being a leader is all about figuring that puzzle out. I think President of the United States is an ok career goal… nothing like a fresh perspective to shake things up, right?

Fun fact and prime example of Beauty & Brains?  My closet is arranged by ROYGBIV & seasonally.

Hobbies?  MUSIC, volleyball, hanging with friends, reading, shopping, discussing "controversial" topics (yep, politics & religion… my faves!), wine & chocolate

(My sister read this and said I didn't foot stomp my creativeness. Consider the subject broached. aka I'm more than just analytical…it's almost like I'm a female enginerd…weird… )

My sis and I

Of note… the blog title was inspired from an inside joke with myself from the blind date that ended all blind dates for this gal. Maybe you'll hear that story some day!
