At 25, I'm a seminary student who doesn't want to be a pastor. I've been married for three years to Andiclaus, who's pretty cool. We have a little girl, Alliclaus, who was born March 25, 2006. I read. A lot. And crochet baby blankets. But mostly I sit around playing with the baby and dreaming of leaving the work world forever.
