OUR STORY

2023 was an exciting- difficult year for both of us. From Trent getting Divorced &amp; me finding myself again. God Couldn't have put us in each other's lives at s better time!I had created a Singles Group on Facebook to Keep my mind off of other things &amp; people. In late September Trent stumbled into my Facebook group &amp; I Happen to see a Picture of him sitting on his Bike &amp; someone making a rude &amp; hateful remark towards him &amp; me being me I had to say something. If you know me, you know that I Don't like bullies. Trent Commented back to thank me &amp; a few hours later he pops up in my DMs to thank me again. We clicked &amp; began talking daily a few days before his birthday he was driving this God-awful Tahoe that he &amp; Kirkwood had as they say customized it. In other words, it was not legal in the slightest &amp; got himself pulled over &amp; arrested on several traffic violations in Gilmer he calls me to tell me &amp; ask me to call Kirkwood whom I have never met. He gives me his number &amp; I call to let him know what had happened. Trent knew that night that I was going to be the woman he is going to marry. A few days later for his Birthday I picked him up in BFE- The most ghetto part of Ore City that I have ever been to, a guy stopped me &amp; asked if I was looking for Doghouse. I of course said no I'm looking for Trent. I drove around turned around two or three times &amp; he finally called me to let me know where to go. When I pulled up his whole face lit up like a Christmas tree. We then went to Longview to Dennys where he "smoothly" spilled his Sweet Tea in his lap to make sure it was a date to remember. In other words, he was nervous. Then we walked around a strip mall &amp; Target looking at stuff &amp; getting to know each other Trent took me into 5 Below for the first time in my life that day! Rikka &amp; Braileigh called Back-to-back until I answered the phone wondering why I was in Longview because they had my location &amp; are nosy butts. I took Trent back to the Shop where I got to meet Kirkwood &amp; his many projects. Trent got out &amp; hung around my car not wanting me to leave. He gave me a hug &amp; then I left. I went back a few days later to get him, we went to Sulphur springs to see Rikka &amp; Curtis to see about getting Trent a Job with me a Fulgham's. I took him home that night, I was getting sleepy, so Trent offered to drive to get to Longview where he was staying. He dropped his phone out of his lap switching so that I could sleep in the car on the way there because I had to drive home. The next time I went &amp; got him we went back to my house in Alba stayed there for a week or so helping out at Fulgham's. I had got some puppies on the side of the road and brought them home &amp; put them in my bathroom while we left to go to Fulgham's when we got back to my house we thought I had a busted water pipe because water was running out from under my house we walk in &amp; see that the puppies busted the pipe running to my toilet in the bathroom flooding the kids rooms &amp; the bathroom. When Trent offered to help me &amp; wrap his arms around me while I broke down in the bathroom, I knew that he was going to be the man I was going to spend my life with. I begged a man for years to be the man that is saw right in front of me. He went back to Longview one last time &amp; then came back to my house &amp; never went back. We both had just ended relationships that we felt would last a lifetime &amp; we both quickly realized that we were who we both needed. Trent showed me that I don't have to beg someone to be there that wants to be there &amp; I showed him that you don't have to put a price on love, I loved him when he had nothing to offer &amp; I would still love him if he still had nothing because at the end of the day, we have each other the kids Family &amp; Friends. And as he would say you can't take money to the Grave.

Angela Storey also known as Annie

Some of you know Rikka some of you do not, Rikka is that friend that I found as an adult that has helped me through hard times as I have her in many ways. We are not the Friends that talk every day. We are the friends that can go long periods of time without talking & start right where we left off.  We met at Chilis Sulphur Springs in 2019 & she’s been there for me ever since. Friends like that last a lifetime!

Rikka Fulgham

Braileigh is my First Real Love & If you have a Daughter you know exactly what I mean. I had her young  I was a baby having a baby. We Grew up together & are still growing she is almost an adult " Slow Down my Child" She  has been with me through it all. I couldn't imagine anyone else being my bray but you. I love you Kiddo!

Braileigh Wright

My Mom & Larry Have been there for me in more ways than one, like most mothers & daughters we do not always see eye to eye but she has always had my back. I couldn't ask for a better bonus addition as a father figure than Larry my mom definitely drives him Crazy! " Trent Mother like daughter"
Thank you both for making sure my Dream Wedding came true! I love you Both! 

Tina & Larry Moore

My Dad & Cindy are not able to Cruise with us, but I still wanted to Recognize them. They helped us make this happen & we are extremely grateful for the both of them! They have both always been just a call away. I couldn't ask for a better bonus edition as mother figure than my dad gave me, thank you for everything that you do. I love you guys!

Glen & Cindy Wright

Kirkwood is My Best Friend, My Brother. I Could call him all hours of the night or day & he would come no questions asked. I met Kirkwood when I joined the Club, We made a ride to Texarkana New Years of 2022 & we noticed me back tire on my bike was coming apart so when I got home I ordered the tire when it came in he said that I could come to the Shop where he had lift so it would make changing the tire easier, on the way to Kirkwood's I learned that motorcycles don't run on hope & faith. That was the first time Kirkwood had to come save me. He never asked any questions, he brought me gas, lead me to the shop where we spent the next few hours fixing my tire & the next several hours after that we spent hanging out & working on other projects around the shop. I couldn't get enough of that place. After that night anyone that knew me & Kirkwood knew If we got together don't expect me to come home that night. After that night Kirkwood & I were inseparable, rather it was customizing Tahoe's or working on motorcycles.
I love you Brother!


Kirkwood (Just Kirkwood)

Lane is my little Brother that I can call for anything. Lane & I have always been close rather it be us Dipping snuff on the school bus or smoking Cigars while Momma & Daddy wasn't home. Me & Lane are always Quick to Help each other when one of us is in Trouble. I love you Lane!

Lane Batie

Blake is my Little BIG Brother. I moved out of the House when Blake was 8 or 9, so we never really had a chance to get super close, but we have fun making borderline inappropriate jokes & comments at every family function.
Love you Frog!

Blake Batie (Also known as Frog)

Mom as many know we bicker & argue & don't always see eye to eye but she always is there for me when I need her the most. She always makes sure that everyone feels welcome & included. Mom always has a gift card for almost anything you may need & ALWAYS makes sure I have nice pants to wear. She will most definitely make sure all the Groomsmen are matching & there will be no starch.  Like Braileigh, I grew up with Mom I was her Trial & error kid & she did a great job being my Mama!
I love you Mom!

Nikki Batie 

Adam Batie, He is my dad, he was my Boss, he is my 
Friend & Someone I can always call for advice. Like Mom, i grew up with Dad they were kids raising a kid. I was the First & Arguably their favorite. I always wanted to do everything Dad did, whether it was  asphalt, riding motorcycles or Cooking on the Grill. Following Dads example not quite to a T, made me the Man i am today & I can never thank him enough for being the Dad I needed Growing up.
I love you Dad!

Mindi, I love my Boujee because she makes my dad happy. When they first got together Mindi wanted Chicken nuggets & Dad wanted Kawas, but they story I got from my dad was the opposite, so from that day forward she was my boujee. I am so glad that her & my dad found each other. I will always be forever grateful. 
Love you Boujee!

Adam & Mindi Batie

Even though Zach is not going to be cruising with us. Trent wanted to make sure all of his little Brothers are recognized.
 
Me & Zach NEVER got a long even as Kids, people might even say we hated each other, but 
when it came down to it, We have always had each others back. Even though he stole my only child spotlight I still wouldnt trade him for the world. 
Love you butthead
