Favorite Quote:
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things….” 1 Corinthians 13: 4-13
I Love…
My family, my work, water polo, root beer, food, politeness.
