I was born in El Dorado, Missouri and lived in Stockton, Missouri until I was in second grade. At that time, I lived with my mother. When I finished second grade, I then moved to Bolivar and started going to school there. I now live with my father. I have lived there since then, and still do! We have a nice sized family with five children. While I grew up, I lived in a house with my father, step-mother, two sisters, two borther, and two dogs. My older sister, Brena, is just a year older than I am, and she moved from our home last summer to live with her boyfriend in a house that my parents had built. My younger sister, Kaylea, is two years younger than I am, and she recently moved to Willard, Missouri to live with her mother. My two younger brother are Ryan, 15, and Johnathon, 9. They both happily reside at my parents' house, with me! We no longer have the two dogs that i grew up with. The female was a white Boxer named Cotton, and the male was a beautiful tan Boxer named Max. Since they have both passed, we now have a very hyper, lean, black Boston Terrier named Ford. I love my dog very much! I graduated from Bolivar High School in 2012. While I was attended school there, I also danced, which is my favorite thing to do.
