Hey Everyone! We are the Rowells!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is me, Katrina Rowell and I am the {Lucky} mommy and wife to our little family. I graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Communication. Yes, Yes....I learned to communicate well during my 4 years at FSU! On a serious note, my degree emphasis was in advertising and marketing. Today, I am a stay-at-home mom to my three beautiful children. I love baking, gardening, my crock-pot, reading, photography, camping and boating with my fam, planning parties, my church life, and all things faith, family and fun. On any given Saturday I love to get up at the crack of dawn with my parents to go yard sale-ing and thrift store browsing. I love finding a good deal! I am also a country girl at heart. I love to fish and hunt. I grew up down a red dirt road and that dirt gets in your blood. My family means everything to me. I feel truly blessed.
This stud is my husband, Hunter. He loves all things outdoors...fishing, hunting, boating. He also has a great love for mowing the yard with his beloved riding lawn mower (everybody has to have a hobby, right?). I've recently started calling him MacGuyver Dad because he has fallen in love with learning how to fix things and creating little gadgets. He also loves to "burn some meat" (a.k.a grilling or smoking something). Hunter knows how to grill the perfect steak, smoke the best pork butt, or fancy up some fresh fish. He is a great chef and we work well together in a kitchen. I love this man to the moon and back. He is the true champion of this family... always loving, always providing, always giving his all to his relationship with me, his kids, his family, and his friends.
In 2010 we were blessed with our first little addition, Miss Karabella (Kara, Karebear, Kb). Our first baby started high school last year and nothing ages you as a parent more than seeing your children grow, thrive, and be drop dead gorgeous to boot! Our tiny dancer has turned into this beautiful cheerleader with the brains to boot! We've experienced all the parenting firsts with Kb, and it has been a journey that has been filled with joy, a few bumps, but most of all so much love and inspiration. She gave us the gift of parenthood and we adore her for it.
And in 2013 we were graced with another sweet girl, Miss Evelynn (Evy, Evy GG, Sissy). She's our sweet middle. Evy looks so much like her daddy when he was younger. While Kara is all porcelain skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes (much like Mommy), Evy has dark hair, brown eyes, and it sports the finest of tans all year long(just like her daddy!) She is an old soul... which is such a turn of events from her babies years where we often asked the Lord why he had given us such a feisty and dramatic second kid. But today, she loves fiercely and has just as many guy friends as she does girl friends (all who love and adore her just as fiercely as she does them! She brings a lot of joy and laughter to our family.
A surprise awaited us in 2017. We found out we were having another baby....a boy! We were overjoyed and a little bit culture-shocked if I do say so. After 7 years of raising girls, a boy was completely new territory, but one that our entire family was excited to adventure out in! Rex Fisher (named after Hunter's beloved grandfather that passed away in 2013) truly did complete our family. This dude is all boy! Huntin' - Fishin' - and Lovin' every day is his life's motto. He loves excitement & adventure...and has had his share of cuts, burns, and bruises to prove it!!! The girls have given him the nickname Bubbie Bruiser, and it fits his personality to a tee! He has stolen our hearts once again, and there is something so special about being able to have a legacy in a son.
Hunter and I met in middle school. We were friends all through high school and then started dating in college. We dated for two years, were engaged for one year and married with thousands of other happy couples on the very blessed date of July 7, 2007, or 7-7-7 {Lucky Sevens}. It hasn't always been an easy road for us, but I could not imagine this journey with anyone else. If you would have told Hunter and I fifteen years ago that we would marry each other and start a family, we both would have laughed in your face. We were really good friends, but such opposites. His crazy, party boy to my calm, studious girl..... it would have seemed so crazy to our 14 year old selves. It's pretty amazing how God plans each and every one of our lives, not by what we want but by what is perfect and right in His sight. I always say that "Life's not perfect, but it can be blessed. And I feel pretty {Lucky} at the hand I've been dealt." I got {Lucky} with my stud, blessed with my children, and I stand amazed at how God works together ALL things.
