Another part of my culture that I carry everyday.

Hello Classmates,

I wanted to share with you another part of my culture. My father's heritage is Cherokee Indian and most of the descendants within his family have an external feature that is the same. We all began to develop gray hair at a very young age. The funny part is that no one is fully gray but has remained with salt and pepper hair that you might have noticed in my blog photos. I began to develop this trait at the age of 12.

Aside from the gray hair reminder that I look at every morning, I have a tattoo that relates to my heritage. The number seven holds great importance to the Cherokee Indians. I am attaching a web link that gives a bit of information on that. I got a tribal tattoo that has seven points within the art work to represent this part of my history. It is hidden from site but serves as a reminder to me to always remember where you came from.

My life a blessing!

This is my Dad feeding a baby calf. I grew up on a farm and learned the ways of farm living. It taught me great life lessons.
This is my niece showing her steer. My brother and I also grew up showing cattle. It taught us lessons of responsibility and developed a great love for animals


That love for the animals has carried on through my life.
This is my little boy Copper, he is now 15 years old and as sweet as ever.

Growing up on the farm, we learned at a young age how to use a weapon.
It's great to know how to defend yourself
And it's fun!


I was blessed to be raised in church and was taught of God's love.
This is the single most improtant thing in my life is my faith.
My family guided me to be grounded in the words of God!


I gain peace, strength, guidance, and love for the words of the Bible.


The second most important thing in my life is my family! This is my wonderful husband Brandon on our wedding day




We love to travel and experience other cultures! This was our last out of country visit and we got hit by hurricane Earl but it was so much fun meeting new people.



We are really BIG Georgia Bulldog football fans. GO DAWGS!!


We love to get together with friends and go to the games.
It's our faviote social activity.


Recently God blessed us with the most wonderful thing anyone could ask for.
We became parents of a sweet little boy named Sawyer.
I just can't put into words what he means to us.


He is just so much fun : )



This is our new house that we move into next week!
We are so excited.
