Let’s Get This Party Started!

Posted by AbigailDara on

Hi! 

This is my first blog, and I believe in keeping things simple and sweet.  

Wiser heads have told me that you should start by introducing yourself to the people reading your blog and then tell them a little bit about yourself. So here goes!

My name is Abigail and I am a teenage girl who loves Jesus, my family and my friends. I’m an Missionary Kid (MK) in-progress and I have five siblings. I’ve lived in and loved both peninsulas of Michigan, primarily the Upper Peninsula (da U.P.), but I am a loyal Chiefs fan. *Chanting the Tomahawk* GO CHIEFS!

I love the color Turquoise, swimming and attempting to make people laugh. I love music and singing; spending many free hours squeaking away on a recorder, playing classical music on a piano, or strumming away on my ukuleles (not to be confused with guitars).

I’ve been homeschooled my entire life, and I’ve had the most amazing teacher in the world the whole time–my mom. 🙂 She is awesome! I love being homeschooled with my siblings, and being the second oldest of us five, I can “force” my will… sometimes. 😉 I’m currently in 8th grade!

Last year, God did some pretty cool stuff in my life–well, not just my life, the whole family as well–pointing us to the mission field to a place called the Solomon Islands. Don’t worry, we had to look it up too! 🙂 This is why I’m an MK. Over the course of this past year, I’ve driven through over half of the States, stopping in many of them. I saw some amazing sights including Yellowstone National Park, the Rockies, the Appalachians, and Pensacola Beach. Traveling around the country has been a blast, as we’ve seen family and friends and shared with people about our journey. 🙂 [You can check out my parents’ blog for more information on their ministry.]

When I “grow up” I want to be some sort of linguist/translator person, or maybe even an actor. I love language and I love acting, but it is up to God to take me where He wants me to go, so who knows? I love acting because when I was in 6th grade, I was in an all-school musical, and I absolutely loved it! I love language because I started learning Spanish last year, and that was really awesome. 

My favorite food is a burrito. In fact I love any other Mexican food, which is quite convenient with my love of Spanish. 🙂 [I know, I love smiley faces :)]

For all of you TobyMac fans, you may recognize that this post borrows the title from one of his songs. For those of you who have no idea who he is, we need to talk. 🙂    

If you have anything you want me to write about, post it in the comments, I will look at it and decide if I want to reply. 🙂 And, if you want to hear more of my crazy-but-true and awesome stories, then keep coming back!
