Hello there, I’m Jodi. Here’s the laundry list that I think makes me Me.

I was born in Nigeria Africa while my parents were serving as missionaries. We moved back to the states right before my 3rd birthday. I remember the feeling of the concrete floors and the smell of rain, plus a few scattered memories and not much else. My first passport had a photo of me as very tiny infant for about 10 years. I still have it. My life has been full of travel, missions and memories so far and I’m only 26.

Married at 19, kids at 21 and 24 and life keeps me on my toes. I absolutely love it. Here, on this website, I tend to talk about it all. Plus, I have a life list. It’s amazing.

I some times have opinions that are too strong to handle and I’m fabulous at over-sharing. I swear once in a while because I can and I kinda like it, I make videos, cook a ton and am very interested in the affects food have on our bodies. My last pregnancy left me with what is now, almost 2 years later, probably diabetes. So food and me, we have a history.

As for the history of “me” – I’m the youngest of 4 kids, although my parents divorced and I’ve inherited step siblings, I was still the youngest until last year. I went to a couple different schools as we moved around a lot when I was young, but ultimately ended my schooling career as a home-schooled student and graduated early.

I met and dated my husband 3 years before we said “I do” under a tree with snap dragons hanging down around us on a summer afternoon. I love him so very much. We have a family, a daughter and a son and no pets and we’ve lived in the same house for 5 1/2 years now, which is the longest I have ever lived at one address.

You guys, I love God with a passion I don’t know how to write about or even, most days, feel about. I’m worried and anxious about this belief because of how it makes me feel – but being grounded in His Word is something I’m striving for, so I’m no longer grounded in me. I don’t often write about it but maybe some day I will and it’s just important that you know this about me, no matter what.

This websites means Opportunity to me. To meet new friends, to have and create life experiences and to hopefully inspire someone to stop thinking that they’re not good enough, they could never do this, that or the other thing and some how make them feel worthy. Make them feel like it’s possible, too.

Authenticity is my motto for life. But that doesn’t mean it’s always comfortable.

Thanks for stopping by to see what this is all about
