First and foremost in my life is Jesus Christ. My heart's deepest, truest desire is to follow Him in everything. Of course, like many things, that is oftentimes easier said than done. While at times it may be difficult to trust God, I don't even want to think of daily living without Him - life would then be truely insane.
"...walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.
"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers--most of which are never even seen--don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."
~Matthew 6:28-36~
On a slightly less serious note... I love to dance, love to sing, and love to laugh. I love music - sometimes I feel as though it runs through my veins - which probably has something to do with my love for dance. I have some piano-playing skilz and I'm working on learning a few guitar chords. Nothing you say can convince me that "funner" is not a word. Autumn is the bestest season. I love driving on country roads. I'm looking forward to meeting my Mr. Darcy. The mountains and the beach are magnificant displays of God's handiwork. I love listening to the sound of rain on the windowpane. Chocolate = scrumptiousness. I love to stargaze. Going camping is the best summer adventure and I love to read by the campfire. Midnight movie showings are amazing. I love swing dancing! I want to travel the world.

Yes, I have glasses for such things as night driving and movies. I don't have a good picture of myself in them though. Maybe I should take one.

I should have worn my glasses. Those make me look incredibly intelligent. Or so I hear. (Yes, that was an attempt at keeping what little modesty I have.)
