Today is officially my birthday!!!! While some don’t get too excited about their birthdays, I on the contrary treat mine as a national holiday! Haha... I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY! It is so much fun! I try to look at each birthday as a celebration of life! It’s an exciting close to one year and a beginning to a great new one. It’s pretty cool to think about it. When you think back at cool moments in life you remember how old you were when they happened! How old you are is pretty important to those moments. On June 24, 1986 I was born to an amazing family in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A great mom, dad, and older brother! I was 0 at that birthday! :) When I was five I jumped of a dresser imitating superwoman and lost my 2 front baby teeth...haha. At age 7 God gave me a little brother! When I was 9 I moved to America. Even growing up in a Christian home, it was at the age of 10 that I really accepted Christ into my life. At age 11 I got baptized. When I was 15 I got to have a Quince, wear a big dress with a tiara, dance with a boy I called my prince, and have an incredible party. At 17 I got my license, and at 18 I had my senior prom and graduated high school! That same summer we moved from Pembroke Pines to West Palm Beach. At age 19 I started college. At age 20 I started my first real non baby-sitting job! Also at 20 I got to go on my first mission trip abroad! On my 21st birthday I was in Brazil visiting the family I hadn’t seen in 8 years! Talk about an international celebration. It’s also at that age that I became an official “adult” haha…. Yea ok. :) And all in between those awesome moments are those special memories, those amazing and special friendships, the relationships and dates, the times of singing and performing, leading worship, the good times, the family memories, the camp stories, the gifts that God has given me, and those funny random memories that still make me laugh looking back today. Now, it’s almost 2 in the morning and my 22nd birthday has just started. When the clock turned 12 I lifted up my birthday to Jesus and placed it in his hands! I am so thankful for another great year and I owe it all to him. As I turn 22 I thank him for 22 years of blessings, love and guidance! I lift up not only this year but also the many more to come! Thank you Jesus! You rock! Thank you for my life and for allowing me to celebrate my birthday! Now this is just the beginning!!! I extend my birthday longer than a day! The week long fun has just started!!!! Birthdays are a huge deal to me, and today is an awesome day! So friends, Get ready, cause I’m 22 and the celebrations are just about to begin!

Happy Birthday. If I were there, I'd make you a cake with candles that would set off the fire alarms. Welcome to the blog world, and yes, a telecaster is a guitar.
