God loved me enough to make me a bobcat

In leaving the town that helped shape who I am, I cried. The emotions of driving away knowing things would never be the same and remembering all of the amazing times that were had with some of the most incredible people I've ever met was overwhelming. In my dream world I would be able to sit down and have coffee with every single mentor, professor, teammate, advisor, friend, classmate and coach and tell them thank you for making my last four years the best of my life. So many little moments throughout my time at Texas State taught me so much about myself, my life and my God. If you know me, you know that I have a passion for photos so I felt the best way to commemorate the closing of an amazing chapter in my life would be to share some of my favorites with you.

everyone always loved when Z came into town

passion

I have always believed that you have to find your own individual way to connect with God. For some going to church does it, for others it's in the silence of the morning, for me I have always felt the presence of God while rollerblading. I have had some of the most amazing encounters with the Holy Spirit while on roller blades. It doesn't have to be fancy or traditional so I challenge you to find your secret place with the Father.

Softball will always be apart of me. I have had so many amazing opportunites through this sport. It was my passion for so long and taught me so much, I am grateful for that.

we always believed we could fly

thick and thin

never got old

The people I have met have become more like family than friends. When I left San Marcos I wept in thankfulness of having the privilege to live life with them.

so much love for the game

dont go

best

As I reflect on my past four years, I'm thinking about my next. The man I'm marrying encouraged, supported and loved me every single step of the way. He allowed me to fully invest in San Marcos and was not greedy for to much of my attention and heart. He is what the next chapter of my life holds and I cannot wait. 

my future
