"What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life - to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?"

Ashes and Wine


I am a recent graduate of Anderson University, where I received a major in English and a minor in Music Performance. After graduation, I immediately began working on my Master's in Library Science. I just turned 23, and I have a new kitten named Gadget. I have a wonderful but very extended family. I have 4 nephews, 1 niece, and 2 step brothers. I have a great boyfriend, Preston, who I met at Anderson almost 4 years ago. I really want to work in a public library with young adults/children. When children experience the love of learning and reading at a young age, that love can continue to grow as they get older. Someday, I want to own my own bookstore/coffee house (but not like B&N or Borders) - more comfortable, with live music in the evenings and wine for the adults and lots of plush couches and chairs. You might hear a lot about my passion for books, as well as Harry Potter, Twilight, Johnny Depp, Star Wars, and way too many TV shows and movies. I love to find beauty in random places. I love words; I love music; and I'm trying to make the best out of life.
