Hi Steemit! I'm Rebecca - Allow Me To Introduce Myself
Hello Steemit!
I’m super excited to be a part of the community here. So much so that I couldn’t stop thinking about my introductory post today.
My name is Rebecca, but friends call me Becky. I’m a 30 something born and raised in Alabama and now living in Texas. I’m recently (July 2017) married to my best friend of 9 years, Matt.
Our friendship and marriage is something that I’m extremely proud of and cherish. And, our story is unlike any other. We were married in a little Hispanic church in Nacogdoches, Texas. The pastor was not very fluent in English, so we had a translator at our ceremony. I bet there aren't many people can say that! I could not have been happier as we said our vows (we wrote our own of course) in that little church in Nacogdoches, Texas.
I also gained 3 wonderful step-sons, Evan, Bradley, and Wyatt. As you can imagine, not having any children prior to being married made for a bit of an adjustment. However, I couldn’t imagine life without them now.
After wife and step-mother comes the title small business owner. In 2015 I started a screen printing business with a focus on eco-friendly.
At first I chose to attempt to create a clothing line to sell retail; however, I quickly realized that would mean storing a lot of inventory and possibly being stuck with unsold merchandise. That is when I made the decision to be a resource for others within the eco-friendly space. We now primarily work with eco-friendly clothing brands as well as printing for local businesses.
I also have a degree in Accounting, but mainly just use it for my business. Although I do have some freelance work that I do which uses those skills.
Other work that do includes social media management. Although I don’t consider myself a pro when I comes to social media, I do know how to leverage engagement. One of my favorite accounts that I manage is Truck Market News Magazine, a full color monthly publication distributed thoughout the US.
When I have time I love creating healthy recipes (mostly vegan & vegetarian). Over the years, I put together several digital cookbooks and offer those for sale online as well. As you can tell I’m 100% entrepreneur.
I also enjoy photography, especially nature photography, but I don’t have a lot of time for it anymore.
I hope that you enjoyed learning a little about me. I look forward to being a part of the community here on Steemit. I’m sure I’ll be writing about a mix of the topics above, so be sure to follow me.

Hey Joey! Thanks for the welcome. How is the weather in Oregon? It has been soooo rainy in East Texas.
Hey there girl, and I'm near Seattle now, but the weather here and in Oregon is good. We had some snow a week ago and spring is coming. It tends to rain a lot at times. It can be pretty windy at times. But maybe not as cold or windy as like Chicago or Toronto.
Haha! Thank you!! :)
