Who am I?

First and foremost, for those of you who don't know me, my name is Cherry. Yes, Cherry! Pronounced like the fruit.  I'd like to say my mom and dad were trying to be creative, that they were hippies or that I was named after somebody, but that's not the case. It's grown on me over the years, but let's just say, kids weren't always nice about it.

 I'm a mother of 2 boys, Maliq and Quinton.  I'm the lady who is always jumping for a band aid, sippy cup, diaper change, and to break up a fight over a toy. I wouldn't trade it for the world. 

I'm also a wife to an amazing man, Marques, who  is a great father and husband. We've been married for over 5 years now and it seems like so much has happened in that short amount of time. I can't wait to blog about some of our cultural experiences down the road. I was born and raised on a fruit/dairy farm in West Michigan and my husband was raised in inner-city Detroit. We are two completely different people. Opposites attract right? We also have a 9 year age difference between us. Just last night he asked me a question about whether or not I remember the Gulf War. I had to remind him I was 6 at the time. I don't remember much about being six, sorry buddy!   We were able to find some common ground along the way. We both were raised in Baptist homes and share a love for our Savior, Jesus Christ. We  both love sports, music, shopping (yes ladies, I found a man who likes to shop!), and food!

Aside from being a mother and wife, I have a few things I like to do myself. I like reality tv (a bit too much sometimes), a good book- preferably funny, writing and cheap wine.
