Just a little about me

Where to begin…you already know my name is Stacie so…. Well I was born and raised in a small town in Alabama. It has always been just me, my mom and our cats (all of which were rescue animals). I think because it was always just me and mom I was able to do a lot more things that I wanted to like twirling baton with the Dixie Darlings or being a competitive figure skater for what seems like forever to what has now become a major part of my life, learning to play the flute. My grandmother (who I call Grandmollie, no her name is not Mollie that’s just what I wanted to call her …… I guess) also played a major role in my life along with her dear friend Dean who was my father figure. Grandmollie made it possible for me to do a lot of the things I wanted to do over the years and I don’t know what I would do without her. It was sometime during the beginning of the second semester of my freshman year of high school that I got a phone call late one night from my half-sister, Jessica, telling me that our father had been killed in a tragic car crash. It was then that I realized I would never get the chance to really get to know my real dad, but then I remembered that God has a plan for everyone and maybe me having a real relationship with my father wasn’t supposed to be.  A couple years after that I got the worst news I had ever gotten in my life so far, my Daddy Dean had lost his battle with cancer. I will never forget that day in September of 2010 that my mom came and got me from school and I tried my very best to act like I was okay when inside I was falling to pieces, but once again I had to have faith in God and know that my Daddy Dean would always be watching over me. The next big thing that would happen in my life was very exciting. December 22, 2011 I married my prince charming, but we will get to that later. Once I graduated high school I wanted nothing else but to be a UAB Blazer. So that brings us to where I am today, a very proud UAB student studying Music Education and Political Science living in my own house with the man of my dreams.
