Let’s start here: I come from Two Families that merged together 25 years ago in last May 14!
The Richardson side of the family came from Lubbock. My Great Grandparents lived in Shallowater, Texas all of my life. My mimi was a homemaker and my pawpaw was a farmer. My granddad Wayland’s parents I never remember meeting. He came from a big Family of all boys. He spent time in Alaska while serving his country. He came home and met my grandmother who was from a family of 5 ( 4 living). My mimaw had a twin who died at birth. The other remaining children all in live in Lubbock area. My grandparents moved to Clyde, Texas when my dad was in the fifth grade. My granddad spent his life being a CPA, while my grandmother was always a care taker; a hairdresser, caretaker of children and then elderly adults when we got older. She has a passion for people and I got some of that! My dad graduated from High School and attended several colleges before becoming a Rancher. He has farmed and Ranched my whole life. After a fall in the Ranching business he now constructs metal buildings and does just about anything else to keep rolling.
The Jackson side of the family: My Grandparents on my Grandmothers side were also a cattle family. My grandmother was raised for a while on the Davis Ranch. They moved to their own Ranch when she was a child. She has one brother. I met my great grandparents but they died when i was young. But from what my mother says They always had the nicest of things. My grandmother Married Wayne Jackson to have a sole child. My mom was raised at Cal Tex Feed lot in Trent, Texas. My granddaddy Wayne did all the original building of the Feed Lot. After my grandparents divorce my mom lived with my grandmother at the feed lot until she graduated high school and attending McMurry High School. My mom graduated and became a PE teacher! My granddaddy Wayne married twice more before living in Louisiana where he died in 1994 of lung cancer!
My Parents started their home in Baird, Texas. My dad was working on a ranch and my mom was a P.E. teacher. They raised two great children literally through sickness and in health. Laramy and I are 19, and 22 (11 days from 23.) Laramy is a free spirit that goes with his flow and does just about whatever he wants. He has a great business head on his shoulders and is making a great man everyday! I on the other hand am not such a free spirit. I graduated Clyde High School in 2009 with 15 hours towards my college hours. I attended my freshman year at Cisco College taking my basics for Nursing at the time. I quickly changed my mind when i flunked math with a big fat F. I switched gears and headed toward surgery. Where you don’t have an identity really. You hide each day behind gown, glove, mask, eye wear and even hide your hair under a colorful headwear. I was accepted out of 49 people for 12 spots in the Surgical Tech program my first try! It was hard. It was blood, sweat and lots of tears. I graduated in May of 2011. I landed a great job three days later and have been there ever since. Along with several of my extra jobs! Luskey’s was apart of my life for 6 and a half years, I loved my time there and am very sad they closed this past August 10,2013. I bought a house two years ago August 31,2011. I have loved every minute of a total home makeover! I have the stability i have always wanted. I have learned many life lessons from my family through happy, sad and many hardships along the way. My life is definitely based on my family and the experiences we have faced. I wouldn’t change any of it because I wouldn’t be who I am without them. I have met the love of my life and cannot wait to see where my future takes me, but until then I will continue live each day bettering me and my life.
