Christina Martin Country Hobbies

Good afternoon, I am Christina Martin. Who is a proud mother of a Mixed Martial Artist, Patrick Trey Jordan. I grew up in the small country town of Andrews, South Carolina, near Black River. I to this day I still live here and would not change it for anything. Most of you that are familiar with Andrews would also know that I am a country girl at heart. The reason for this is simple fact when I was growing up we didn’t run to malls or a fast food drive thru like today. We ate home cooked meals, which meant more exercise to burn off that fat. Our excitement wasn’t going to the mall or movies. It was simply just running and jumping in the river. I didn’t have girly things to do or even girls to play with. I was the only little girl running wild with my cousins and friends, which were all mostly pure down home country boys. That’s where I picked up the hobbies I enjoy to this day and share with my son and boyfriend Rodney Pitts. Those hobbies would be “Sunday Fun Day”, MMA, which stands for Mixed Martial Arts, and also making all sorts of crafts. Your wondering now what is Sunday Fun Day. Well let me take a minute to explain how that came about and is the most exciting hobby I have and share with my family. Growing up in the country my nanny always had Sunday dinner cooked. I can almost smell and taste it now. She cooked that soul food as some call it. Every Sunday we would gather and stuff ourselves. I use to love dessert but my mom wouldn’t let us even taste it if our plates were not cleaned. I can still remember sitting on the counter while nanny stirred the batter for her pound cake or that yummy red velvet cake. When our dinner was over we would all run down to the river and jump in. Now that I am older and have family of my own, which are my two boys Rodney and Patrick. Sometimes we have a visit from Haley, that’s Rodney’s daughter, I enjoy sharing my childhood hobby with them. My son and Rodney nicked named that hobby of cooking and river time “Sunday Fun Day.” So now you all know what Sunday Fun Day means. Unfortunately that day can’t be everyday, you know we all have to make a living for ourselves. Seems I am always on the go, and yeah my nanny would get on me and tell me to slow down baby that fast life and fast food will make you old. So that’s why I have to take time out my busy life for MMA, and the gym. My son is 9 years old and has a green belt in Jutizu mixed martial arts. We have traveled to national championships with people from all over the world there. I have met the man that trained Walker Texas Ranger. My son has gold and silver medals he has won or should I say earned. The class teaches respect for self and others, also manners and patience and self defense. My other man is a gym freak. Any of you that known Rodney knows that man eats sleeps and breaths gym. He is my muscle man if I must say. My son named him Superman. So between MMA and Gym that’s a good hobby I have to burn off the fat from Sunday Fun Day. When I am alone I unwind by doing crafts. I do all sorts of things from crochet to candle making. I learned from the best, my wonderful mother. I use to sit beside her as a child and watch. I always said I want to be like that. So that’s the hobby I took up and enjoy. Crafts would be my most relaxing hobby. When I am alone it helps by taking the stress of the busy life and running to keep up with the MMA and super fit superman. I make all sorts of scarf’s, blankets, hats, and baby things. When I am not crocheting I am candle making. I make homemade candles and wax tarts. The smells and aroma just takes you away to that special place you can find serenity. I do believe I need that being that I live with two wild country boys. One that can twist a finger to flip you and other that thinks he can use you as a bench press. So this hobby is my alone time to think concentrate and make beautiful things. Growing up in the country has led me to experience many different things, and also to share my experience with my family. The excitement of Sunday fun day, MMA and gym, and crafts has and will always be a pleasure and part of my life too shares as hobbies. From growing up in country to now living and having my own family in the country is a blessing. And I will always, no matter how old I am will enjoy these hobbies of Sunday Fun Day, MMA/gym, and crafts. Now doesn’t that make you want to come to the country and pick up some interest or hobbies too? Thanks everyone for your attention and listening to my experiences and hobbies. OUTLINE
