A brief history of Tamara......

Well, I think I finally have this down. I still have to figure out a few things but I know enough now to get myself started. So where do I begin? I guess I should begin with a history of myself, I could be brief, but I dont do this very often so I might as well give the full story. Got the popcorn ready?

I was born here in Conroe as Tamara Nichols. I was not raised in church but my daddy made sure I got to go to the local Assebly of God when I wanted to, so I guess he gave me the best start with God he felt he could. I was raised in a house with my parents, younger brother, my dads parents (AKA mawmaw and pawpaw), and several cousins, aunts, uncles and cousins over the years. At one time there were I think 13 of us living there at one time. We were a very close family. My dad was a local dj and entertainer so, I got to go with him to almost all of his shows. I loved setting up equipment, pickin out music, and eventually when I was old enough, daddy would let me sing a little. This began my love of music. I didnt care what I was singing as long as I could sing.

I was your typical little girl. I didnt get in much trouble, but when I did I got in BIG trouble. Just ask my daddy. My parents divorced when I was 12 and we started moving around ALOT. Being bounced between two houses isnt fun, but you learn you sometimes gotta take the good with the bad. I took a little of good with a LOT of bad. Its not easy to adjust to not being the only girl anymore, and when my daddy remarried, I needed a new outlet. So on the weekends I visited my mom I got invited to a church, by a door knocker at the local ALJC church in Dayton so I decided to go and I was baptised and received the Holy Ghost in December of 1999.


Do you believe in love at first sight? At 15? I found out I did when I met Aaron Frazier, we dated for 2 and a 1/2 years and we were married in December of 2001. We moved to Willis in 2002, and were a part of a small church. We had a great church family who just happened to move from Dayton too, and over the years we all grew up together. I wouldnt trade the Ballinger family for the world. Even though Melissa and I didnt get along at first, she loves me, just dont ask her to admit it, hehe.

Aaron learned to play the bass, and although he denies it, he is really good. I started singing again, but this time it was for God, and I love it even more than I used to. Peggie, Melissa, Aaron, Kim and I were the music department in our little church, and most of the time, we sounded good together. We stayed a part of that little church until recently.

Our friendships have grown through out the years and as I look back time has flown. Michael and Peggie are married and have a daughter, we have 2 boys now, and Kim just got married. Soon Matthew and Daniel will be moving away, and they will get married...and Melissa will get married and want kids lol, yes dear you will, eventually.

God has blessed my life so much. He brought me through some rough times, I cant even begin to tell what all I have been through...this is enough for a Novel already. But as I look back on my life, He was always there. Guiding me to where he wanted me to go. I have leaned on Him so many times, it has become my natural reaction. But I still want more of Him. I have been trying to convince myself to step out of myself to find His will for me and for my family.

So now that you know about me, please get to know me! I promise I am not always crazy. Just most of the time......
