My name is Derek Beaver, I a 23 years old and I am from Puyallup Washington. I have lived in the state of Washington my entire life, it is home! This blog is going to be raw, it will contain the things that I am going through, what I am struggling with, as well as the things that I am excited for, and what is going well! I am so excited for this journey, but what I am most excited for is to bring you all along on the journey! Thank you all for the support, the donations, and the prayers.
