GMM: Anything else you want us to know about you?
Mandy: I’m a small town country girl at heart. I grew up hunting and fishing with my parents an two very protective older brothers.
My dad and brothers taught me about common sense, hunting, fishing, camping, boating and of course my favorite:Â GUNS! My dad is a gun collector and has passed this tradition down to all of us kids. By the time I’m old I will probably have enough weapons to supply a small gun store. Haha.
I would not change my upbringing for anything. I was allowed to get dirty anytime I liked and when down on the family farm was allowed to run free until dark. If I could keep up my two other brothers that is lol. Our life was simply and sweet. During the school year I enjoyed softball and cheerleading and excelled at both. I took after my oldest brother and became a catcher because I needed a power position to lead my teams to victory in that leader position I was meant for. The summers were filled with family trips to the hills, lake and of course our family dairy ranch.
My mother comes from a large family of 10 children so the weekends we went to the ranch there were many aunts uncles and cousins who have helped shape me into the well rounded lady I am today! I am so thankful for every member of my family and the roles they have played in my upbringing. Teaching me manners, how to be proper but also a down to earth laid back person. I am a very sweet, smart and savvy lady who will never lose my love of the country roots I have grown up with.
After many photo shoots you will find me climbing up into my huge monster  truck wearing my favorite cowboy boots, blaring country music leaving in search of a cheeseburger. Haha
