My name is Kayla Blackburn and I am currently a nursing major at the University of Pikeville. Helping people is something I love doing so I figure why not make money at the same time? I have such a big heart when it comes to helping not only people but animals too. I am a true animal lover and I treat my two cats, Rambo and Scooter, and two dogs, Jazzy and Dinky, like they are my children. They sleep inside and eat two meals a day just like I do. Sometimes people make fun of me for the way I am over my animals, but I don’t care because God put them on this earth to be treated right and respected, not abused and neglected. Not only that, but when I don’t have no one else I know my animals are there to love me because that’s all animals know is how to love.
I live in a small town where Walmart is the coolest place to hang out and everyone knows everyone. I am a true country girl who loves to have fun. If its warm outside you can bet I am outside getting into something. If I am not outside, I am somewhere hanging out with my best friend and partner in crime, Karra Brewer. I absolutely love to go fishing, hunting, and camping anytime of the year. I don’t care to get my hands dirty or work outside, I can do anything a man can do and probably better is the way I look at life.
Although, I do live with the man of my dreams, Chris Coleman, and he does all the hard work so I don’t have to. He’s the old fashion type of guy that believes the lady takes care of the house and the cooking, and the man takes care of the outside and works to support the family. I’m all right with that because I know my way around a kitchen pretty well, and I don’t mind being taken care of and treated like a lady.
I live just a few houses down from my mother, who gave me the house I am living in right now. I couldn’t ask for a better role model or mother. My whole life she has struggled to give me everything I have ever asked for and to be both my dad and my mom since my father wasn’t really in the picture. She is the strongest and most giving person I know and would help a stranger if she had the means. I don’t know what I would do without her and I hope that I am every bit the women she is one day. Since my dad hasn’t really been there for me my uncle and my older brother try to step in and be there for me. I wouldn’t trade those two just to have my real dad. My older brother, Nathan, is 11 years older than me and would protect me from the world if he could.
