I'm a fairly introverted person who enjoys reading and writing. I love to cook and wish I were more clever with crafts (and that I had more time to practice them). I have had a rough life, but am still confident in God's goodness. My faith has certainly changed over the years, going from strict, fundamental, and conservative beliefs to a much more progressive and liberal perspective, but if you knew what I'd been through, you'd probably understand. I am an accomplished homemaker (now prep cook) and my children are my greatest joys. I knit poorly, but I still try.
