I was born in Beckly, WVA, But was raised in many different places as that is the life of a Military Brat! We moved a lot when I was a child and that continued up until I reached my Teen years and we finally stayed in one place longer than 3 years. That place was called Olympia, WA! We lived in a small neighbor hood for about 5 years before we basically moved to the other side of town into a bigger house, but smaller neighborhood, I called it the Richy Rich area :) And there we stayed for almost 10 years, Until my parents split and then finally divorced and my mother moved to VA to be closer to her family, I myself stayed with my father along with my older brother, before I felt my stay was not welcomed anymore in the state of WA, in other words, I did all the damage that I could there and it was time to move on to VA! And so I did, I moved in with my mom to start over so to speak! It was here in VA that I became a young single mom at 18 years old and it was here that I met my soul mate and later married him in Feb. of 2002, and yes 12 years later, We are still just as much in love as we were the first day we met! Only down fall to this , He was active duty in the United States Coast Guard, which meant finally being able to call some place my home, went out the door, as we quickly transferred to NOLA. Oh NOLA, OH NOLA....Now that was an adventure! SOOOOO much happen there, both good and bad, but it was defiantly an adventure! KATRINA being the biggest and most Horrific part of the Adventure! We were Lucky enough to have evac'd in time and not loose our home, but what we saw coming home after being unable to return home after 6 months, will forever be embedded in my memories! And I was happy to be able to transfer out soon after returning! We were given orders for VA, but chose to live in Elizabeth City, NC as the housing was cheaper! NC is where we purchased our first home and Where I was able to finally call a place home! Elizabeth City is a small town that is slowly but surely growing with time, she has lots of history and historic sites, with many artsy areas and shops! She floods often, but most of us around he just shakes it off and makes the best of it, She is often Windy and at times feels like a tropical storm, but she is my Home and yes at times I grow tired of her as there is not often anything to do, but atlas she is my home :)
And this is where my story ends.......For now :)
Bet your wondering why I am writing this....Well its because I am entered in a contest! This contest is For Nicole Katherine Designs! They are looking for models to represent their company and the minute I saw this on good old Facebook, I jumped at the chance being I have long admired the clothing she makes and have had the desire to own many pieces from her collection! Before you jump to anything, I am not doing this to get free clothing!!!! So just get that out of your beautiful minds! I am simply doing this to support a company that makes their own products, just as I do with my own small business( I make handmade hair flowers and jewelry). Check out the links below and be sure to let them know Miss Lilly Day sent ya!!!!!
