TOMMY DAVIS

CARRYING YOUR LOVE WITH ME
I left Texas in 1987. My family and I moved to Tennessee to a 3,500 acre, river bottom farm. That first summer, I attended a local festival and met a beautiful girl named Kimberly. She was from Idaho and was in town visiting family. I fell in love at first site. Even though we were 3,000 miles apart, we continued to write and call. We married in 1990 and moved to Arkansas.


TOMMY OF ALL TRADES
Over the next 5 years, we had 4 great kids, moved 13 times, and I worked a lot of different jobs including... flea markets selling socks, waited tables in a tux at one of Tennessee's nicest restaurants, was manager at my brother's Little Ceasar Pizzas, owned my own landscaping business, roofed houses, moved mobile homes, waited tables at Pizza Inn, Pizza Hut, Shoney's, Ruby Tuesday, etc., worked a factory job, managed two cattle farms, and many many more...

FOUND OUR CALLING
In 1995 we moved to Leachville, Arkansas, to live in my grandpa's house. Parts of it were built in the 1930's and it is a continous work in progress. Dad and I started "Double D Construction" where I design and build 15 plus homes a year. We employ 10 guys including my son, Tommy Lenn. We are branching into two other areas, a cabinet shop and heat and air. We have worked hard to make this a successful business. We are one of the top builders in North East Arkansas.

MOVING WITH THE GOOD LORD'S SPEED
I was the youth pastor and Kimberly the children's pastor for many years at a local pentecostal church. We have taken a subaticle to rest and renew ourselves. We now drive an hour to attend Living Word Church. God is the most important part of our lives. Kimberly and I have homeschooled our children for the last 7 years.

ELIZABETH CHRISTINE
Elizabeth Christine is our oldest. She thinks of nothing but boys or as she would say it, "Hot Guys". She is an adorable 16 year old. She is strong willed, independent, and air headed. (She gets that from her mom!) She is always good for a laugh.

TOMMY LENN
Tommy Lenn is our favorite son. He is also our only son. He is 15 and the best looking boy in the world, he must have inherited it from me. He loves to tell stories and hilarious jokes.

AMARIS
Amaris is 13. She is quiet until you get to know her. She is a great artist and wants to be a vet. She is very intelligent, level headed, and knows what she wants from life. Did I mention that she is beautiful too?

ABIGAIL
Abigail is our youngest. She is 10 and definitely "the baby." She is a beautiful little girl and a mirror image of her mother. She was recently diaginosed with epilepsy. As many of you know, I have epilepsy. It was something that I hoped my children wouldn't inherit.

IN CLOSING
All in all, it has been an awesome 20 years. I have thought a lot about my school friends and would love to hear from all of you.
