My oldest son is an elementary teacher married to an elementary teacher. He has a huge heart for special needs and foster children.
My middle son has Type 1 diabetes and is musically gifted, newly married to an elementary school teacher. He is a worship leader and lives in Missouri.
My youngest son is the most genuinely happy human you’ll ever meet and a so smart. He’s a senior in college majoring in finance and will be married in June, about a month after he graduates college.
I have a college degree but have stayed at home most of my adult life to be a wife and raise children. Now I work remotely doing numbers all day for a man who is a partner at a young company that I’ve know since I was a teenager.
My favorite things are bargain shopping, deep conversations, chocolate cake, a good glass of wine, the beach, football, writing and encouraging people.
I sometimes get angry too quickly. I am overcoming (present tense) insecurities. I battle with anxiety. And too often, I feel not good enough.
And I love and believe in God, creator and author of all things. I don’t write this last because of where God is in my life. He isn’t last. But all too often, He isn’t first either. Because I fail. Because I’m human. But nothing about me would exist without Him. And I know every blessing is because of Him, every part of me that makes me who I am is because He made me this way and the answer for every struggle is found and rooted in Him.
As you can tell, there’s nothing really unique about me or anything that would make me stand out in a crowd. But it’s just who I am …
Just me …
Just Amy.
