What influences you?

I would have to say that the biggest thing that has influenced me would be where I have grown up. I love the area that I come from and I know that it has made me who I am today. Growing up in a small town has been a huge influence on me in just about everything I do. I am used to waving at people on the back roads on the way down to my house, the few neighbors we have are like family, and when you go into town you are guaranteed to see someone you know. For example, I am used to never locking my doors, living anywhere else it would be hard to do that and feel safe. I have been away to different states and far away towns but I have never been anywhere that makes me feel as good as I do when I am in my own town where I grew up. Roots run deep and the memories last and even if I were to go away, eventually for school, I will always return to my home town. Where I grew up has influenced my habits, hobbies, interests, and simply how I view life.

Sunday Funday

This past Sunday was a blast for me! I took off work and went down to the river with my friends riding four wheelers and hanging out. It was obviously too cold to swim in the river but we have a really nice sandbar and a bunch of friends that come down and it’s always a good time. The river is my favorite place to be! It is so peaceful and away from everything. When it gets hot out we take our john boats down the river and go swimming, we usually have a bbq up on the beach and grill all day. I can't wait till summer finally hits because I can’t wait to go swimming!
