Hello, friend. 

Welcome to my little slice of the internet.

I'm honestly still toying with the idea of sharing this site with friends and family (and strangers who have been repinning my abundance of thanksgiving decoration ideas). Fingers crossed that the inspirational people, places, things and ideas that surround me so often will keep me typing!

I suppose I should introduce myself.

My name is McKay. And here is my face.

I figured, what better way to meet me than through a selfie taken at the Parthenon? 

(Sorry about the hair sticking out of my mouth)

Ten things you should know about me:

10. I tend to be a total goober, roughly 86% of the time.

9. This bodes well for me, because my big life dream is to spend a large majority of my time with middle and high school students.

8. Teaching them about God's victorious and redeeming love, extended to us in Jesus.

7. Which means, right now, I'm roughly 70% of the way through my dear college years as a Religion major.

6. Which provided me the MIND-BLOWING opportunity to travel abroad to Turkey, Greece and Italy, studying the Abrahamic religions, and the culture into which Christianity emerged.

5. And I CANNOT WAIT to see what the Lord has in store for our journey together, as I make my way towards the big-kid world.

4. I love the gorgeous season of fall, and the recurring "need" for sweater shopping that have been given to me since moving to South Carolina, but when those rainy winter mornings come, I find myself pining for my Florida sunshine.

3. But really, the sunshine is only one of a myriad of things I tend to miss about home, others being my incredible church community, my family, and my boyfriend/bestfriend hybrid.

2. And despite missing these things, I have been completely and utterly blessed beyond measure by the lifelong friendships, teachings, wisdom, laughs, tears, and JOYS that have come my way since the day I stepped on this campus.

1. I hope that this blog will serve as a source of encouragement and joy in your life and/or a worthwhile way of procrastinating from the actual work you need to do. Because despite not knowing who you are on the other side of that screen, I think you're pretty swell.
