In The Beginning...

Well, God chose to start off His pretty important book thataway so I figure its a good first few words :) Welcome to my blog people! I'm really excited about finally getting all of my creative energy out there...I seem to be bursting at the seams quite often with it and I don't really have anyone to be artsy and craftsy with so blog world, here I come. First, I'll give you a little insight into my life, and then I'll jump off sharing the inspired random thoughts of Cherise K Ratliff.
My name is Cherise (like Paris!...thank you Steffi Coats) and I currently live in Shiner, Texas. First and foremost, I'm a daughter of the King of Kings...a Christian by choice and by the grace of God. Secondly most important, I've been blessed with an amazingly special guy, Mr. Derrick W Ratliff, who treasures me and challenges me to be who I was created to be. I love him very much, consider him my best friend in the whole wide world, and well.....we've just got a pretty darn good thing going on.
Those are the two most important things in my life...besides that, we've got a couple of pretty cool dogs named Mutt and Jeff, I mean Skye & Shooter...
If you can't tell, their purposes in life are quite different. Shooter is a working man...lovable as all get out, but he likes to fulfill his duty as Derrick's biggest bud when it comes to duck and bird hunting. Skye on the other hand was created to....look pretty :) They're loads of fun and great dogs!

Derrick & I live a pretty adventurous life...we rarely if ever sit still and "I'm bored" doesn't really have time to enter our vocabulary. We are the marketing team for my family's company, Ranch Hand Truck Accessories. We own our own freelance marketing company on the side, Eclipse Wildlife Technologies, and we are filming for a TV show for the Sportsman Channel called Ranch Hand Horizons. We are never home on the weekends and evenings are filled with working on websites or media kits or film editing or facebooking or something. We kinda prefer it busy this way, but not gonna lie...looking forward to having a place we can call home and settling in a bit. 

Some of the things I enjoy most: playing softball, watching Aggie football, spending time with friends (especially the Maders & Phillips...love y'all!!), Facebook, taking photos, spending time in College Station (did I mention I spent 4 wonderful years at a very special place called Texas A&M!), spending time with my parents & brother & UncleDoug/AuntLaura & Derrick's family, Starbuck's cinnamon dulce white mochas, the color red (can you tell?), Bible studies, inspirational quotes, deep conversations (often happening after midnight), campfires & s'mores, cool weather, and staying up late. 

Well, there is the intro....now on to the inspired random thoughts of Cherise K Ratliff..... :)
