10 years ago, I sat in my closet on the phone with my best friend, tears flowing down my face: “I think my we’re moving.” They were probably more than flowing, I was most likely sobbing. They hadn’t even told us yet. But I knew… I had a way of sensing when something was going on….

Appreciate
I may get this “monthly word post” thing down eventually, but I kinda like that you’ll never know when I’ll post the next word of the month. (Like you’re all sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for it) Anyways… June was hard. I came back from South Africa filled with love and Jesus….
Words
Words. Which apparently come to me at 6 a.m. when I haven’t had a wink of sleep all night. Words. So powerful, we often don’t stop to realize it. Words. The ability to build someone up, or tear someone down… to encourage to ensure trust to prove innocence to enthrall knowledge to inform to create understanding…
That’s a wrap
That’s a wrap on the best year thus far. I had so many great experiences and learned a lot about myself. This year, I decided to go with an A-Z list of a few of my favorite things from 2015 because let’s be real, you’ll be reading as you try to rally before the Iowa game…
The Search Begins.
The time has come, first semester has ended and my second and final semester of college will be here before I know it. Every person I come across asks me the same thing… “What are you going to do after graduation?” To that I usually smile as I try to come up with the answer….
A Girl and her Dad
This one’s for you Dad. My weatherman, superman, and spiritual-leader-man straight out of a Nicholas Sparks movie. Originally, I had created a post about parents in general, but after reading the second chapter of “Redefining Beautiful” by Jenna Lucado I knew what I needed to do (Sorry mom, I still love you equally as much…
Summer at OMPR
My summer internship ended today and summer ends this Sunday. It sure is bitter-sweet. I spent lots of time with friends and experiencing things I never would have if I didn’t have a “JUST GO” attitude. That “JUST GO” attitude is one that has certainly developed over time. It seems like just yesterday I was…
Blogiversary
Happy 1 year blogiversary to Wanderfully Made. In this past year, I have seen, heard and experienced the most incredible things. Saw a few of my favorite bands in cool venues, fell in love with “The Land of Smiles”, watched the US take on Australia in the World Cup, and many many more. How I…
2015.. My Year
2013 was tough. 2014 was one worth remembering. 2015….is my year. Thailand in May term Elephants dance through my dreams as I sleep. Thailand can not come soon enough. I am most excited to have my eyes opened to a new culture. Who knows… maybe I’ll pull a Blake Mycoskie and dream up ideas to start…

The Blogging Begins…
My first blog post. Exciting? I think so! You might ask why a 19-year-old college girl would want to start a blog and quite frankly when I hear blog, I immediately think of moms with kids, which does not apply to me (yet, thank goodness). Here are my reasons for creating this blog: 1) I…
