Hi! I’m Chelsea,
I have been married to my husband Jeff since 2011. We have a sweet one year old daughter who has a big personality. We also have two fur babies: A black lab and mini beagle. I love getting to know others, especially over coffee dates. Once you get to know me you find out I’m an open book, great listener and a loyal friend. If the opportunity comes to throw a party, whether it be a crafting, birthday, holiday or something as random as an empanada or coloring night then I’m your girl for that. I love decorating, repurposing old furniture and creating pieces from pallets when I find the time. Hobby Lobby and Home Goods are two dangerous stores for me to walk into because then I’ll want to decorate every little thing in my house. I organize my friend’s closets for fun, oh yes I said for fun. I love organizing a lot! I actually get sad when I don’t get the time to do it. I guess it’s therapeutic for me. Writing is my getaway place. It’s how I best express myself, encourage others and release things that I need to set free at times. I write what God puts on my heart. I like to be as real and honest as I can be. I find myself writing about things I believe others can relate to. My goal is to write a book. I have been working on something little by little that I have put a lot of hope and dreams into. My other escape is connecting with God through praise and worship. I never really understood it before getting to know Jesus but now it’s one of the places I could never live without. I wrote a blog called, “Heart of Worship” where I tell that story if you’d like to check that out on my page. I’m honestly just a woman who wants to do what I’m called to do in this life; in whatever ways God wants to use me to shine his light. It is my hope to see others go after their unique callings as well.
