Howdy!
I grew up in the small north central Texas town of Graham, Texas, now known as Graham America. I am number three in the line of four kiddos and I can honestly say I had a beautiful up bringing out there in the country!
COLLEGE LIFE AND MARRIAGE...
I went to college at University of North Texas and Texas A&M where I met my husband in 1991. Long story short, I followed him to Texas A&M my junior year (who does that! I guess I do) and when he graduated he told me if I would hurry up and graduate we would get married.... so I hauled my hiney back to UNT, graduated, and well....THAT DID NOT HAPPEN...after NINE years...YES you heard me right! NINE years of dating off and on we FINALLY married in December of 2000 and we are still going strong to this day. We have three beautiful boys and one angel baby in Heaven.
WHY THIS BLOG....
In December of 2016 I lost my best friend, my confidante, and my angel on earth. I lost my mom....and this rocked me more than any other loss of I have ever experienced. My mom knew ALMOST everything about me...the good, the bad, and the VERY VERY UGLY side of me that my baby brother, Paul, has so eloquently named TAWANDA. My mom loved all parts of me, even Tawanda. I called her daily and on average we talked 5 days a week. When she left this earth and went home I can honestly say I was lost. This loss has challenged me on many levels but most of all this loss has challenged me in my faith. I am hoping through this blog I can grow stronger than ever in my walk with God all the while making you laugh!
DREAMS AND HOPES FOR MY BLOG...
What I can promise from this blog is some yummy recipes (I do love to cook), HOPEFULLY some funny stories, probably some not so funny stories, because I promise to be real, and let's face it life is messy sometimes, I might have some words of wisdom here and there (if I do it will be from something I learned from someone much wiser than myself!) and one thing I will not promise is fashion sense....I try so hard here, but I am a dance teacher for adult fitness and my wardrobe consists of black tights and black tops....I will challenge myself in this area and maybe with your advice I can grow here...because Lord knows I am not fashion savy!
Love of my life and best-friend.
In a nutshell, I am married to the love of my life and my best friend. We have three beautiful boys and a dog named Zoey. My father lives with us during the day and my sister Robin at night and I survive on bullet proof coffee, God, Dance, and my amazing family and friends. I am Amy Berry and I would like to be your friend!
xo,
Amy
