Hey y’all. I’m the husband and father to these two beautiful women. There doesn’t seem to be as much to tell about my life as there was to tell about Renea’s. And truly I don’t want to bore you, as I am sure her page did. On my page I will be brief but I will also be including a photo gallery of pictures I have taken that I think are pretty good. Please take a minute to look at them and tell me what you think.
I was born on August 11, 1970 and I grew up on a farm in the country about 50 miles south of Richmond, Virginia. I have always lived with or around my parents, sister, grandparents, and two uncles. That is wonderful now because we always have a babysitter ready to take over when we need to go out.
As a child I can remember playing and fishing in the river that ran behind our house. And I can also remember it flooding on a regular basis, what a mess. I gave up bikes when I was 12 because my parents bought me a new 4 wheeler (that’s ATV to you city folks). I used to take my 4 wheeler and a wagon and spend the day cutting and hauling wood to the house. At the time I thought it was fun, but now I know better. That was work, but I had a good time doing it.
I never really had any trouble with schoolwork; it all came pretty easy to me. But I found out that school just wasn’t for me. After a year in college I moved back home and went to work for the man I had been working for since I was 15. I still work for him and I really enjoy it. It has its good and bad moments like anything else, but all in all I love it. I like the outdoors too much for a desk job. We grow peanuts (and no they don’t grow on trees like walnuts do), cotton, soybeans, wheat and unfortunately cows. I don’t mind the cows too much till it comes time to round them up or they get out of the fence. I usually end up stumbling in a hole or slipping on a pile of…well…you get the idea. Luckily we don’t have to do that that often and we are slowly but surely selling off our cows so maybe in a year or two that part of the job will be gone.
