Uhhh, Hi? This is my first blog...whew!

Let me introduce myself, I am Grace Avayah-Symonds. Karah is my cousin and one of my best friends. I decided to move here with Grandma Anduele when I was younger. I think I was around 8 or 9, I can't really remember. I too attended Lake City High School of Lake City SC and I graduated with honors.


I matriculated to Yale majoring in Biology and furthered my studies to become a doctor. I met my husband, Jordyn Symonds on a Spring Break trip to Australia. He is from there but all the while attending Harvard and also a Pre-Med student.
And despite his parents' objections to our marriage (racial), we were married in 2006 and not too long down the road Sophie was born. Sophie Avayah-Symonds or Soph she likes to be called was born July 24th 2008. his parents are coming around now because of her. They never really disliked me but they said they know how cruel people can be and how they still don't really accept change. Jordyn didnt care he loves me no matter what,and I him. Jordyn is not a regular doctor, he, along with three of his collegues are behind finding medical breakthroughs which has him flying around the world. Thus Soph and I dont stay in our home, but with Aunt Crystal at the family home. Jordyn feels bad about leaving everytime he comes home because Soph is getting smarter by the day.

I work as a Surgical Consultant, recommending surgeries or explaining the risks of a procedure to the surgeon and the family of the patient. I take much pride in what I do. Having a family that is not normal in any sense of the word is very amzing to me. I think that some of that awesomeness had rubbed off on my daughter.
Sometimes I worry about Anduele and Karah. They have so much going on that they dont have time for themselves. Well, maybe Anduele, but Karah won't slow down and pay attention to the clouds. I think she feels that she has to be that way so the ones around her wont get hurt.

I'll be on from time-to-time letting you know about Sophie's antics and how my cousin's coping with her teenage life. She recently got a lovely gift from Grandpa Teri, a beautiful Bentley GT. Denille was asked by grandpa if he knew what type of car she wanted and just so happens- (hold)

Okay back now, Sophie just threw her sippie cup out of her playpen. Where was I? Oh, oh yeah, Just so happens he knew that she was in love with this make of car. Makes my little Merc G Wagon look like a beat down Toyota..LOL...She deserves it though, the girl is always thinking of everyone else and she is always home whether it's playing with Soph or dodging our very drunken Aunts and their jokes. They'll be on here later I'm sure of it. And if you have trouble reading their blogs from time-to-time, you know why. They've been in the Merlot or what ever wine is in the wine chiller...HAHAHA

Oh, I have to go now. Sophie is crying and I can't bare to see tears run down my lovely's face.

Peace Always
