All About Me

All About Moi

Alright so, you're wondering exactly who I am ... let me try to help ya out. :) My name is Kaitlyn and I belong to a family of six! I am a Canadian, I live in Ontario, Canada. I have 2 sisters (Christen is 23 and Rachel is 15), a brother (Jon, 21), and a brother-in-law (Jesse, 24), and of course my parents, Dave and Pat. I'm 18 years old as of September 12, 2004 and I'm currently finishing up high school by correspondence.

I'm currently living in my original hometown and living with grandparents and brother. I love living here again, I haven't lived here since I was 12 so it's great to be back with all my old (and new) friends, particularly my best friend Laurie. I'm loving being involved in my church here and I love my church family soooo much.

I am a Christian and God has blessed me with AWESOME Christian friends. Laurie and Becky and my sister, Rachel, are my best friends in the world! I have been so blessed to have them in my life and have the best memories with them (one of my fave: cow tipping, haha! "It's not paranoia if they're really after you!" Sorry, inside joke). They each teach me so much in their own different ways!

My life's desire is to serve my Savior, Jesus, in whatever capacity He asks of me. My relationship with God is the most important and wonderful thing in my life. I have a heart to reach the lost in this world and show them through my life the wonderful and complete joy that comes in a close and growing relationship with God. I long so deeply to be like Jesus and well ... let's just say by God's grace I am a work in progress. ;)

Let's see ... I'm a total nut but definately do have a serious side. I absolutely love giving people advice and counsel, it gives me such an incredible joy to help people in that way, to be an encouragement. I cannot even describe it! So hey, if you have a problem or are just sad or just want someone to talk to, I would honestly be more than happy to talk to you and try to be of some help, and if I can't help myself, try to direct you to people who can. :)

I LOVE listening to music! I love Christian music in particular because I find it so powerful and uplifting. People who say there's no good Christian music should come to me and let me hook them up because there's awesome stuff out there!

Alright, well I'm sick of talking about my boring old self so if you really want to know more about me or just want someone to talk to, feel free to email me at valleysite4u@yahoo.com! I love meeting new people! :o)

Place I most want to go on earth: Israel - the Sea of Galilee, New Zealand, Hawaii or Fiji or somewhere tropical :o)

Best feelings in the world: feeling God's presence; obeying God; God's peace; knowing you're loved by God, family, and friends; knowing you have great friends; making beautiful memories; going for walks with loved ones and talking; the natural high you get when you're out on a run and after it; when you really connect with a person; seeing beautiful scenery that you feel sure God designed just for you in that moment; the peace that comes upon me when canoeing or hiking at my cottage watching the sunrise or sunset; knowing that your done school for the summer!!!
